X: Xan

Xan is a character from The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill.

Xan is a witch who has been living in the forests for 5000 years. Xan saves the abandoned babies that the townsfolk abandon, sometimes willingly, sometimes not. When Xan meets Luna, she knows that she can’t give her away, so she feeds her the moon, instead of stars. Xan does her best to help Luna, and though she makes some mistakes, is a kind and loving “grandmother”. I love how she helps Luna and how kind she is. Xan is such a great character!
