== Anime and Manga ==
* Urd from ''[[Ah!
* [[Words Worth]]: Maria is a stately example, garbed in an elegant white robe (though it has split seams, [[She's Got Legs|showing plenty of leg]]), a sea green cloak, and sandals.
* Both Miyu and Reiha from ''[[Vampire Princess Miyu]]'', as they both are very elegant and reserved as they attack their enemies with [[Playing
Line 28:
== Film ==
* [[Ms. Fanservice|Luster]] in ''[[The Gamers]]: Dorkness Rising'' seems to be an attempt at this archetype, but her player isn't very good at the whole "dignity" aspect.
* Claudia's mother in ''[[Snow White:
== Live Action TV ==
* In the 1998 ''[[Merlin
* In the BBC ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'', it was Morgause, until she died and Morgana stepped up to the plate. [[Word of God]] says she's at least as powerful as Merlin now.
== Literature ==
* Nicci of the ''[[Sword of Truth]]'', a former Sister of the Dark who functions as one of Richard's primary magic experts, and is also the team expert on [[Black Magic|Subtractive Magic]].
* [[Dragaera]]'s Sethra Lavode is a [[Time Abyss|250,000+ year-old]] undead sorceress, and contrary to the trope description she couldn't just level ''half'' a city-- she [[Person of Mass Destruction|could probably cause]] [[The End of the World
* Melissandre the Red from ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' fits the personality aspect ({{spoiler|and becomes something of a mentor to Jon Snow during ''A Dance With Dragons''}}), but as part of a low-magic setting she's limited to soothsaying and summoning creepy shadows. Given that she's one of a handful of people to show outright supernatural abilities at ''all'', however, that says something.
* The White Witch in ''The [[Chronicles of Narnia]]: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe'' qualifies as well. She goes into battle wearing Aslan's mane as a pelt and fighting Florentine style with two swords and turning anyone who crosses her path into stone.
* Matilda in ''[[The Monk (Literature)|The Monk]]''. She's a woman of many talents.
* Medea from ''[[The Icemark Chronicles]]''.
* Skuld, a half-elven sorceress from the 13th century ''[[The Saga of Hrolf Kraki
Line 50:
** Lulu from ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'', of the [[Ice Queen]] variety. Also somewhat [[Goth|gothy]].
** While she may not match most examples in height, she more then substitutes pure might. With ladylike grace and magical fire, [[Final Fantasy XI|Shantotto]] is to what this trope aspires! [[Noblewoman's Laugh|Oh Hohohoho]]!
** Edea, Ultimecia, Adel, and some other unnamed Sorceresses from ''[[
* [[Ice Queen|Fatima]], the antagonist Witch of ''[[Luminous Arc 2]]'', adequately mirrors the [[Hot-Blooded|cheerful]] [[Playing
* Celine from ''[[
* Mitsuru Kirijou in ''[[Persona 3]]'', who is one of the best magical attackers in the game. Likewise, ''[[Persona 4]]'s'' Yukiko Amagi, but she also crosses this with [[White Magician Girl]].
* ''[[Dragon Age]]'' has Morrigan, a shapeshifter who is well-spoken and cutting--and evil. In the [[Dragon Age]] toolset, she's also listed as one of the few characters with "High" intelligence, and her biography notes that she favors a look of wild elegance. She's the most evil member of the party, and NPCs often comment she's very beautiful.
Line 58:
* Millenia from ''[[Grandia II]]''. The twist being, she's {{spoiler|the [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] of the [[White Magician Girl]], Elena.}}
* [[Femme Fatale]] [[Religion of Evil|Evil Cleric]] [[Defector From Decadence]] Viconia from ''[[Baldurs Gate II]]''.
* ''[[
* Jaina Proudmoore from the ''[[
* Not yet playable, but Nine/Konoe A. Mercury from ''[[Blaz Blue]]'' is a very much one. Although she subverts it by having quite the fiery temper for personality.
* From ''[[City of Heroes]]'' the Lady Grey, supreme commander of Vanguard. Easily the most powerful wizard in the whole game, ever composed, ever graceful and one wicked [[Dark Is Not Evil|Dark Defender]]
Line 70:
** Path of Radiance - Radiant Dawn: Sanaki, for some. Also a well-trained Ilyana.
* ''[[Rift]]'' has Asha Catari.
* Servant Caster from ''[[Fate/stay
* Aqua, from ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' is a hybrid between this and [[Lady of War]].
* ''[[Touhou]]'' has Mima and Byakuren. Byakuren is a [[The Messiah|major subversion]], though.

* Raven from ''[[Teen Titans (
