She may be small, but don't underestimate her. This spunky little thing is packing enough heat to take down a Swiss Bank, and that's just with the spells she learned in kindergarten.
The '''Black Magician Girl''' is a character type frequently found in fantasy that is primarily an [[Black Mage|offensive magic user]]. In personality, she is likely to be immature and outgoing, frequently a [[Genki Girl]] and [[Tomboy]]. This is carried over to her design, which is far less likely to be as elaborate or impractical as the [[Lady of Black Magic]]. She's also far less likely to be [[Ms. Fanservice]] than the Lady.
Physically, the Black Magician Girl is weaker than the fighters, often being a [[Squishy Wizard]] or [[Glass Cannon]] and being unable to attack for much, if any, damage. Her weapon of choice is usually a rod or staff, although ranged weapons are not uncommon, nor are [[Improbable Weapon User|improbable ones]] such as books. Her primary role in combat is to stand back and pelt the enemy with [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]], not to [[Guys Smash, Girls Shoot|get down in]] [[Johnny Cash|the mud, the blood and the beer]] [[Guys Smash, Girls Shoot|with the melee types]].
Line 12:
Black Magician Girls are, as the name would suggest, usually female, but male examples do exist. Black Magician Boys will be as immature as their female counterparts and may be physical cowards.
Subtrope of [[Black Mage]]. Compare to [[Lady of Black Magic]], the other character archetype for [[Black Mage
NOT to be confused with [[Dark Magical Girl]].
Line 32:
* The sprite kid Popoi from ''[[Secret of Mana]]'' is an [[Keet|impulsive and energetic male version]] of this trope. Except in the German translation, where this character was generally referred to as female.
* Rita Mordio in ''[[Tales of Vesperia]]'', [[Tsundere]] in personality and the [[Smart Guy|brains]] of the playable characters. Worth noting she's only [[Les Yay|deredere]] [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship|for the]] [[White Magician Girl]] Estelle.
* Female mages in ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' tend to either be [[Badass Bookworm
* Relm from ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]''. While the other two female members of the team are also very powerful spellcasters, she's the only one that [[Bratty Half-Pint|fits this personality type.]]
* Aurora from ''[[Black Sigil]]: Blade of the Exiled''. Tomboyish, [[Fiery Redhead|Fiery]], and ''[[Playing with Fire|loves]]'' tossing [[Fireballs]] about.
