Line 23:
* [[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".)
* [[Big Bad]]: Once a story arc. Some of them even come back!
* [[Blonde, Brunette, Redhead]]: Cornelia, Irma and Will.
* [[By the Power of Greyskull]]: Implied to not be necessary, but used anyways, sometimes Will calls every element, sometimes everyone calls her own. In a variation, while "Earth", "Fire", "Air" and "Water" have been always called, in the first issues, Will said whatever was on her mind (Energy, Heart, etc.) one time, she ended up saying just her own [http://a.imageshack.us/img321/476/willelement16th.jpg name]
** Of course, in English, her name [[Meaningful Name|takes on a whole new meaning]] when you think about it.
Line 59:
* [[Fun With Acronyms]]: W.I.T.C.H
* [[Gender Bender]]: In the [[Anvilicious]] football special, Irma and Vicky decide to dress up as boys so that they can join the football try outs.
* [[Genre Blindness]]: the Oracle told them many times that their greatest strength is their unity. Anyway, the girls will often use the [[Let's Split Up, Gang!]] move at the worst moment. Will also told Hay Lin that monsters don't exist ''at the beginning of the Ragorland saga'', ie after 60 issues in a [[All Myths Are True]] series.
* [[Good Witch Versus Bad Witch]]
* [[Grand Theft Me]]: {{spoiler|In the fourth saga, Phobos switches bodies with Endarno in order to take over Kandrakar.}}
Line 96:
* [[Sexier Alter Ego]] - The titular ''[[WITCH (Comic Book)|WITCH]]'' are fairly average (albeit skinny) teenagers in their normal form. When transformed however, the are changed to look much more.. adult. Lampshaded on more than one occasion.
** [[Breast Expansion]] is present is the comic book, but not as prevalent as in the series.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Hay Lin has a little [[Sailor Moon]] on her monitor, along with a monster that kinda looks like Godzilla. Irma has alots of disney paraphernalia, including a [[Little Mermaid]]. In the Dark Mother Saga, {{spoiler|[[Captain Planet|they combine their powers]] to create a powerful being to defeat her}}
* [[Sixth Ranger]]: This happens in the third saga of the comic when {{spoiler|Taranee temporarily leaves and Orube takes her place. When Taranee comes back, Orube becomes a true Sixth Ranger.}}
* [[Sixth Ranger Traitor]]: even before the WITCH are revealed to be the chosen ones, the Oracle shows a photograph with the five of them, plus Eylon. When his assistant objects they are six, he answers the sixth will betray them. Eylon performs an [[Heel Face Turn]] soon.
Line 109:
** Though technically, his human form was literally created by Elyon, so you could say she is his mother.
* [[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.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: the Oracle tells the girls off for treating their Astral Drops as if they were the Guardians' slaves.
* [[Where the Hell Is Springfield?|Where The Hell Is Heatherfield]]: Most people seems to agree it's somewhere in Europe... and that's as far as the guessing goes...There's one issue where there is the flag of the USA in either the Principal's office or somewhere within the girls' school, but in another issue they use euros.
