She's elegant, she's composed, and she's graceful. She's also packing enough magic to level half a city. The '''Lady of Black Magic''' is a character type found in fantasy who is primarily an [[Black Mage|offensive magic user]].
Personality-wise, a Lady of Black Magic is stately and more mature than [[The Hero]]. She may be an [[Ice Queen]].
Line 38:
== 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
* 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.
Line 52:
== Video Games ==
* The ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' series has liked this trope in recent games.
** Lulu from ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'', of the [[Ice Queen]] variety. Also somewhat [[
** 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 ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]''.
Line 58:
* Celine from ''[[Star Ocean the Second Story]]''.
* 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
* Jessica from ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''. Although she's a little more [[Fiery Redhead|fiery]] than this trope typically is, she has a rich upbringing, possesses a sharp tongue backed by a British accent, and generally has an overall bearing that's more lady than [[Genki Girl|genki]]. Also her [[Ms. Fanservice|penchant for fanservice]] is an actual game mechanic.
* Millenia from ''[[Grandia II]]''. The twist being, she's {{spoiler|the [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] of the [[White Magician Girl]], Elena.}}
