Mrs. Which Character Analysis

Mrs. Which never seems to be able to fully materialize wherever they are, but the one time she does, it is as a witch on a broomstick, to the great amusement of Mrs. Whatsit and Mrs. Who. She seems to be the head of their trio, the wisest and most experienced and most solemn of them all, though she is not as affectionate with the children as Mrs. Whatsit is.
