Kinterhags are conceived during the union of a hag and an unwitting father. Most often the hag will murder and eat the father and ultimately abandon the child with a family or an organization she believes will provide care. The kinterhag's true nature begins to manifest itself around her thirteenth birthday, when her eyesight develops darkvision and her nails subtly change becoming sharp and hard enough to effectively function as claws. They are also fundamentally infused with inhuman magic and often become powerful witches or sorceresses. Prior to this, most kinterhags are unaware of their supernatural origins.

On their thirteenth birthday, the child experiences a powerful psychic cry issued by their hag mother that is designed to lure them away from their foster communities. This may take the form of a dream, a voice or an irresistible urge. Some kinterhags may feel it as a lust to wander but its origin is much more sinister: the kinterhag's mother forms a coven with at least two other hags to summon their wayward daughters home. Those who follow the call are abducted and subjected to an horrific ritual that harnesses their innate magic and twists their physical form eventually resulting in the birth of a new hag. Some kinterhags resist the call and forge their own destiny.

At birth, a kinterhag exhibits a female human form, however they tend to be taller and more slender than average and have unnaturally pale skin. They also possesses a striking beauty and a charismatic presence that many find irresistible. A kinterhag retains this form when she resists the Call.

Despite resisting the Call, a kinterhag's true nature will still manifests itself. At birth a kinterhag's eyes may have any natural color, however, after her thirteenth year, they transition into a deep black color making any distinction between iris an pupil imperceptible. Additionally, her fingernails begin to grow long, thick and sharp. It is difficult to conceal these traits which bely any attempt a kinterhag may make to portray herself otherwise.

Despite their alluring beauty, kinterhags often find themselves shunned in most communities. Their tell tale features give away their true nature and are viewed with suspicion by strangers.

Because they are orphaned by their true mothers, kinterhags inherit naming traditions from their adoptive parents or host communities.
