Lady of Black Magic: Difference between revisions

Subtrope of [[Black Mage]]. Compare to [[Black Magician Girl]], the other stock character type for offensive mages in fantasy. Contrast [[White Mage]] and [[White Magician Girl]], to whom this character type is often a [[Foil]], and [[Black Magic]].

 

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* [[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 With Fire|fire]] (Miyu) or [[Kill It With Ice|ice]] (Reiha)

* The ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' series has liked this trope in recent games.

** Lulu from ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'', of the [[Ice Queen]] variety. Also somewhat [[Goth|gothy]].

** Edea, Ultimecia, Adel, and some other unnamed Sorceresses from ''[[Final Fantasy VIII (Video Game)|Final Fantasy VIII]]''.

* [[Ice Queen|Fatima]], the antagonist Witch of ''[[Luminous Arc 2]]'', adequately mirrors the [[Hot Blooded|cheerful]] [[Playing With Fire|Althea]]. Arguably the most powerful Witch, her ability to mercilessly wreak havoc with [[Evil Is Deathly Cold|Shadow]][[An Ice Person|Frost]] magic is only equalled by another [[Absolute Cleavage|spectacular]] [[Thong of Shielding|demonstration]] of her "power".

* ''[[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.

* 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.

* [[Femme Fatale]] [[Religion of Evil|Evil Cleric]] [[Defector From Decadence]] Viconia from ''[[Baldurs Gate II]]''.

* ''[[Radiant Historia (Video Game)|Radiant Historia]]'' has Eruca, a reserved literal [[Rebellious Princess]] who packs some of the most powerful offensive magic in the game. Raynie is a partial example, having the grace in battle and offensive power of a Lady, but being slightly more rough around the edges than is typical for this trope.

** Seisen no Keifu: Hilda (villainous example), Ishtar. Possibly Aida, too.

** Thracia 776: Miranda, Olwen, possibly Sara and Linoan.

** Rekka no Ken: Sonia and Ursula, both villainous examples. Arguably, Valkyrie!Priscilla is one on your side.

** Sacred Stones: Lute, specially if a Sage. Also the promoted L'Arachel, though she's more... [[Large Ham|expressive]] than others. Selena follows it wholeheartedly.
