Line 16:
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]].
{{examples
== Anime and Manga ==
* Urd from ''[[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|Ah My Goddess]]''.
* [[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)
Line 51:
* 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]].
** 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! [[
** 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".
Line 58:
* ''[[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.
* Millenia from ''[[Grandia II]]''. The twist being, she's {{spoiler|the [[Super
* [[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.
Line 67:
** Seisen no Keifu: Hilda (villainous example), Ishtar. Possibly Aida, too.
** Thracia 776: Miranda, Olwen, possibly Sara and Linoan.
** Fuuin no Tsurugi: Niime, Druid!Sophia, Princess Guinevere when you unlock her. Maybe Cecilia and Valkyrie!Clarine. Sage!Lilina has the skills, but attitude-wise she's more of [[The Messiah]]. Bruhnya is an [[Anti
** 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.
