W.I.T.C.H.: Difference between revisions

* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]]: Lillian to Cornelia and Christopher to Irma. Peter adores Taranee, though.

* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: At the end of the {{spoiler|Ragorlang}} saga, {{spoiler|Edward Folkner, the Ragorlang hunter, is forced to [[Karmic Transformation|fuse himself with the Ragorlangs]], when the magical box he had created to capture the Ragorlangs is threatened to be taken away from him.}} He's going to come back some sagas later as a dangerous foe, right? ''Wrong''! In the next issue, the girls {{spoiler|defeat him quite fast at the end of that issue}}

* [[Ascend to A Higher Plane of Existence]]: Yan Lin early in the first saga.

* [[As Long As It Sounds Foreign]]: No, Taranee isn't an African name. Hay isn't a Chinese name, either. (though it's possible that the writers got it mixed up with the name "Hui" - not to be confused with the term for Chinese Muslims - which means "intelligent", "bright".)

* [[Embarrassing Nickname]]: please stop calling Cornelia "Corny"

* [[Empathic Shapeshifter]]: During the Teach 2b WITCH saga, Cornelia meets Leah, a girl whose appearance changes depending on what people around her need. Because she had changed so many times, she had forgotten what she originally looked like. The girls eventually brought her to Yan Lin, who helped Leah change back to her real appearance.

* [[Expanded Universe]]: There have been some books based on the comics. The Adventure books and the Crystal Birds series. It's one book per girl. These books (at least the adventure series which this troper owns) have images from the magazines inserted.

* [[Fallen Hero]]: {{spoiler|Nerissa used to be a Guardian.}}

* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Will.

* [[Fish Out of Water]]: Subverted with [[Sixth Ranger|Orube]]. She's sophisticated enough to realize that tv sets are machines, not magic, but she still needed to be explained that romantic melodrama movies aren't [[Real Life]].

** [[The Hero]]: Will

** [[The Lancer]]: Cornelia

* [[Unperson]]: Happens to Cornelia in one comic after Endarno releases some sort of magical butterfly, only the other W.I.T.C.H. girls were able to remember her. The butterfly eventually transforms into a crystal-like clone of Cornelia and shows her visions of her past, and then Cornelia destroys it.

* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart Anyway]]: It sounds like the magical powers of an old lady the girls meet in the "Teach 2b Witch" may fit this trope; she explains that she has the power to turn invisible, but can only do it when it's raining, and the wind has to be blowing from East, and there has to be a full moon, and she has to be wearing red.

** The confusion continues. In yet another issue, they use dollars.

*** There is almost certain confirmation that the girls are actually supposed English. They believe in the Father Christmas version of "Santa", not the typical american view. They have to fly to get to Rome. The Magical Bus journey more or less pinpointed Britain as the only reasonable choice due to the timeframes it took for it to reach Italy and then America. Some inconsistencies exist, but really, Britain, or possibly Ireland is the only logical possibility.

* [[Wings Do Nothing]]: At first, the guardians wings are pretty much useless and Hay Lin is the only one who can actually fly. At one point in the third saga, Orube asks why they even have them if they can't actually use them. However, in the seventh saga, the girls get a power upgrade which include bigger wings that allow them to fly (but Cornelia is afraid to).
