Unseen University only accepts males as wizard students, believing that females should stick to being witches so she is not accepted and initially takes a job as a servant. She travels to Unseen University to become a wizard. She is trained to become a witch by Granny Weatherwax ( her first student) until it becomes clear that she had Wizards' magic, not Witches' magic. As a child, she shows great magical potential, turning her brothers into animals and defeating a pack of wild wolves. Drum Billet, a wizard from Unseen University thinks that she is the eighth son of an eighth son and therefore a wizard so he travels to the Ramtops to leave his staff to her. To add to this, Eskarina is the eighth child of an eighth child. Traditionally smiths have a connection to magic handling iron and fire as they do. She is the daughter of Gordo Smith, the local blacksmith. Eskarina Smith, who first appeared in the novel Equal Rites, was born in the smithy of the village of Bad Ass in the Ramtops.
