The Discworld Character Test
Nanny Ogg
She lives in Lancre town and is the matriarch of a very big family. Two of her sons live in cottages on either side of her house, and when she needs either of them she only has to bang on the wall. It is said that housework to Nanny is something that happened to other people, that Nanny had stopped doing housework once her eldest daughter had been old enough to hold a duster. Nowadays, Nanny's daughters-in-law come in and do her house chores; she bosses them rather nastily.
One of her favorite songs is The Hedgehog Can Never be Buggered at All. It is a drinking song suitable in pubs. Nanny is one of those people who can't sing at all and yet sing continuously once drunk, or while in the bath, causing everyone to flee when it's her bath day (in Lords and Ladies).
Nanny Ogg has a head of white hair like a very solid thatch. Also it is said that there were dwarfs in the Ogg ancestry. In any case, the result is that it is difficult to knock Nanny out by hitting her on the head, an option not often contemplated but attempted at least once (see Maskerade).
