Class Features
The following are all class features of the hedge witch

Weapon and Armor Proficiency
Hedge witchs are proficient with simple weapons. They are also proficient with all natural attacks (claw, bite, and so forth) of any form they assume.

Hedge witches are not proficient in armor or shields of any kind.

Animal Companion (Ex)
A hedge witch may begin play with an animal companion selected from the following list: badger, camel, dire rat, dog, riding dog, eagle, hawk, horse (light or heavy), owl, pony, snake (Small or Medium viper), or wolf. If the campaign takes place wholly or partly in an aquatic environment, the following creatures are also available: porpoise, Medium shark, and squid. This animal is a loyal companion that accompanies the hedgewitch on her adventures as appropriate for its kind.

A 1st-level hedge witch’s animal companion is completely typical for its kind except as noted below. As a hedge witch advances in level, the animal’s power increases as shown on the table as if she had an effective druid class level equal to her hedge witch class level. If a hedge witch releases her companion from service, she may gain a new one by performing a ceremony requiring 24 uninterrupted hours of prayer. This ceremony can also replace an animal companion that has perished.

A hedge witch of 4th level or higher may select from alternative lists of animals as if she was a druid of the same level. Should she select an animal companion from one of these alternative lists, the creature gains abilities as if the character’s hedge witch level were lower than it actually is. Subtract the value indicated in the appropriate list header from the character’s hedge witch level and compare the result with the druid level entry on the table to determine the animal companion’s powers. (If this adjustment would reduce the hedge witch’s effective level to 0 or lower, she can’t have that animal as a companion.)

Brew Potion
At 1st level, a hedge witch gains Brew Potion as a bonus feat.

Hedge Witch Spellcasting
A hedge witch casts divine spells, which are drawn from the hedge witch spell list. A hedge witch must choose and prepare her spells in advance (see below).

To prepare or cast a spell, the hedge witch must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a hedge witch’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the hedge witch’s Wisdom modifier.

Like other spellcasters, a hedge witch can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on Table: The Hedge Witch. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Wisdom score. She does not have access to any domain spells or granted powers, as a cleric does.

A hedge witch prepares and casts spells the way a cleric does, though she cannot lose a prepared spell to cast a cure spell in its place. A hedge witch may prepare and cast any spell on the hedge witch spell list, provided that she can cast spells of that level, but she must choose which spells to prepare during her daily meditation.

A hedge witch does not use a divine focus to cast spells, but instead uses arcane material components if the spell requires them.

Persistent Spell Slot (Ex)
A hedge witch may cast some spells with an increased duration. These spells must have a duration that is 1 minute per level, 10 minutes per level, hours per level, or have a duration longer than 30 minutes. Any spell which requires concentration may not be cast in this way. After casting the spell from a persistent spell slot, the duration becomes permanent so long as the hedge witch expends that duration slot to keep the spell active.

At each even class level that a hedge witch attains, she gains one bonus persistant spell slot of the highest hedge witch spell level she can cast, starting at class level 2 with one bonus 1st level persistent spell slot at class level 2 to a maximum of nine duration slots total, one for each spell level, at level 18.

A hedge witch may cease to use a persistent slot to maintain a spell as a swift action, and at that time the spell immediately ends.

I'm going to hope that you're talking about kidnapping them in the night for use in horrific blood rituals and not... something else.

Saying "persistent sleep on young girls is nice" is a lot creepier than "It's nice to have a class that can put princesses into a deep sleep like in fairytales". The first sounds like something a 4chan edgelord and/or pedophile would say, and the latter sounds like something that someone with a modicum of "not being a fucking creep" would say. If you had said something more along the lines of the latter I don't think you would have received such a response.
