This unnamed witch was a borrower.

Background

History

At some point, this witch sold her soul in exchange for unimaginable feats of magic with a certain demon. A demonic signet ring was later given to her, which was imbued with magical power, enabling her to cast spells. However, later, she realized her end time is near. Fearing her soul will be condemned to Hell due to her acts, she later wanted to pass her deal to an "impressive", younger witch.

In 2017, she started her killing spree, with the intention collecting their hearts to amass a "family", created by Twig and Twine dolls, which she desired. Her acts caused Tasha Banes to hunt her down, but she managed to kill Tasha after the latter refused to become her deal inheritor.

Season 12

Alicia Banes, fearing her mother is missing after one week of lost contact, managed to search for her, something that annoyed her brother, Max Banes, since he believed their mother is okay. Alicia later tries to contact Mary, but Mary left her cell phone at Men of Letters bunker, and Sam picked it up. Sam and Dean later meet with the twins in Rock River.

At a hotel, they encounter Tasha. Tasha is well, however, the Winchesters noticed something fishy after seeing the strange demeanor of Rick Walsh around the shelter. They manage to break into the shelter, only to find the real Tasha Banes, Andy, and Rich Walsh; all dead and their hearts cut out. Max later follows the Winchesters and discovers her mother's corpse. Furious, he later attacks the fake Tasha and casts a Revelation spell, revealing the true nature of false Tasha: a Twig and Twine doll.

Sensing Max's spell, the Borrower witch commands fake Andy and fake Rick to attack the group. While Max was able to fling fake Rick out the window, fake Andy is able to blockade Sam and Alicia from following, and easily overpowers Sam. Alicia rescues Sam, but gets stabbed by fake Tasha. Alicia soon dies from the wound.

Max and Dean are able to break into the witch's room. The witch compliments Max on his powers and offers to allow him and his mother to live as one "big happy family" if he takes on her powers. She shows Max and Dean what had happened to the real Tasha. Before Max can take the ring, Dean breaks free of the witch's hold and shoots her in the chest with a witch-killing bullet, killing her.

The witch's death causes all three of her dolls to revert into twigs. Max, distraught by the death of Alicia, decides to use the late witch's magic to recreate his sister as a twig doll.
