History Characters / WITCH

* TookALevelInBadass: In the first season of the show, she had a mostly passive participation in battles, with her key contribution being that she was the source of the girls' transformations. In season 2, she gains the ability to control electricity.

* AlasPoorVillain: In the cartoon, the casual way in which he and Ember are absorbed by Nerissa is rather sad especially given how unshakably loyal they were to her.

* FieryRedhead: A literal example.
* MagmaMan: Was created from lava and attacks with it.

Will's single mother. In the cartoon and comics, Susan dates Will' s History teacher; in the latter marries him and gives birth to their son, William Collins.
----
* AmbiguouslyBrown: It has yet to be revealed what her ethnicity is. Judging from her name and appearance, she is likely to be somewhere from the Middle East.
* AmicableExes: With Thomas (Tony in the cartoon).{{Averted}} in the comics. Downplayed in the cartoon series.
* GlamorousSingleMother: Downplayed. Susan does take care of her daughter, but they do fight like all mothers and daughters.
* {{Hypocrite}}: In "H is for Hunted" it was revealed that Susan lied to Will about seeing Dean again. When Susan started to reprimand Will about promising to get the laundry, Will retorted that she promised to stop seeing her teacher. Then, she really lays into her mom about the hypocrisy when she lied to her daughter on responsibility, while lying to her about seeing her teacher.
* LethalChef: She put a cellphone into the soup she was making for dinner.
* LikeParentLikeChild: She can be quite stubborn and sarcastic like Will.
* MamaBear: She will do ''anything'' to protect Will.
* MsFanservice: Susan was always a hot woman, but we get a peek of her in clothing that showed her ''curvy'' figure in "H is for Hunted".
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Tony' s Red; in personality she has more of Red, but is Blue because she's more responsible than Tony.

[[folder:Thomas/Tony Vandom]]
[[quoteright:186:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thomas.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Dan Gilvezan

Will's long lost father. He shows up in his daughter's life unexpectedly and wants to win her love back. In the comics, he's called "Thomas"; in the cartoon series, he's known as "Tony".

* GoodOldFisticuffs: The TV version usually resorts to this.

* BewareTheSuperman: She was the Keeper of the Heart and previous Quintessence Guardian before Will. Unlike Will, the power [[DrunkWithPower went to her head]], leading to one hell of a GodComplex.

* FamiliyEyeResemblance: Her green eyes are significant because she [[spoiler: shares them with her son, Caleb.]]

* ACupAngst: She's insecure about her lack of a noticeable bust and prefers being in her Guardian form due to the BreastExpansion it gives her.t

* ACupAngst: She's insecure about her lack of a noticeable bust and prefers being in her Guardian form due to the BreastExpansion it gives her.

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: {{Averted}}. She and her older brother get along very well.

* CameraFiend: {{Averted}}. One of Taranee's hobbies is photography.

* InsufferableGenius: {{Averted}}. She's one of the ''smartest'' girls you will ever know, but she isn't annoying about it.

* ArrogantKungFuGuy: {{Averted}}. Knows martial arts, but doesn't act all haughty about it. At the end of the New Power Arc she becomes arrogant and overconfident like the rest of her friends, but Yan Lin, whom she rescues from Dark Mother, talks her down from it.

* BracesOfOrthodonticOverkill: {{Averted}}.

* {{Cuckoosnarker}}: {{Averted}}; all the five girls have DeadpanSnarker tendencies, but she's probably the ''least'' snarky of the group (though she has a very prominent sense of humor).

* OnlyChildSyndrome: {{Averted}}. She is the only Guardian to be an only child.

* InTheBlood: Averted. [[spoiler:Nerissa tries to convince him of this, but he tells her she's wrong.]]

* GreenEyes: In the TV series. [[spoiler: He shares them with his mother.]]

* GreenEyes: Significant because she [[spoiler: shares them with her son, Caleb.]]

** In the comic she flatly admits to be ''terrified'' by the criminals Kandrakar is holding in the Tower of Mists, that are implied to be way more evil than her (as Kandrakar didn't see fit to lock her there after she murdered a fellow Guardian).

* PersonalityPowers: PlayedForDrama, as she's a FallenHero and, being Will's predecessor, she's implied to have [[NotSoDifferent had a similar personality to her once]]. And the potential for Will to fall too actually gets shown in the cartoon when she has a stint as TheChessmaster and [[spoiler: ''effortlessly manipulates '''Phobos''''']].

* Hypocrite: In the comics, breaks up with Cornelia, after seeing her in her human form. Saying she was too young. But later falls in love with Elyon, who is much younger than Cornelia.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Inverted, Will's passion for frogs is so great to be one of her defining characteristics, and its appearances have become a running gag.

* BullyHunter: Most evident in the comic: when seeing Uriah and his gang tormenting a dormouse she chased them away, and when she thought they had returned she immediately turned violent ([[MeetCute it was actually Matt]]). She and Cornelia will later involve their friends in the activity of keeping Uriah and co. from tormenting people.

* {{Adorkable}}: The absolute ''quirkiest'' of the girls. She collects comics and alien collectibles.

* BeYourself: Taranee explicitly states in the cartoon version that she admire how Hay Lin is just herself, and doesn't care what other people think.

* GirlyBruiser: Hay Lin is a cute fashionista who knows some martial art skills.

* KidAppealCharacter: The most childlike and fun-loving.

* BewareTheQuietOnes: The most reserved of her friend. But when she snaps, she snaps '''hard'''.

* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: Mildly deconstructed: all of their personal lives suffer for their Guardianship, especially Will and Cornelia. The former has to deal with leadership and the trials of having a single parent while Cornelia has had to sacrifice time from her figure-skating career to save the world. Taranee actually quit at one point because she didn't like the way Candracar treated them and Cornelia has repeatedly shown she'd drop the job if she didn't feel indebted to help the others. Irma and Hay Lin have the least conflicts but even they have their share of problems. Despite these troubles, [[{{Reconstruction}} they still pull together and get the job done while handling their personal lives]].

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the comics, while she was quite reserved but her cartoon counterpart became nerdier, shyer, and even a NervousWreck.

* {{Adorkable}}: The ''most'' quirky of the girls. She can be considered a slight comic-alien geek at heart because of her love to collect comics and alien collectibles.

* AsianAirhead: Type Two, but ''much'' smarter than she looks, especially in the comics.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: The most {{adorkable}} of the group, but is just as effective in a fight.

* TheFashionista: More artsy than Cornelia, though, as she makes her own clothing.

* HairDecorations: More so in the comics.

* HeroesWantRedheads: Her first love and boyfriend was Nigel Ashcroft, a red head. In the comics they broke up, but in the TV series they are still together.

* LovableNerd: She rather have school than summer.

* {{Nerd Action Hero}}ine: Taranee is most nerdy girl of the group.

* ShrinkingViolet: More so in the cartoon adaption. Taranee is the most passive of the girls and starts off a nervous wreck. [[CharacterDevelopment She eventually learns to be more assertive.]]

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Taranee isn't fond of bugs. Except for butterflies, grasshopper, and crickets.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: The only one with blue hair (Hay Lin's hair is often described as black).

* BadassBookworm: She occasionally uses her smarts to defeat her enemies, especially in the show where her knowledge of science saves the day more than once.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The comics showed that Will' s friends from Fadden Hills only hanged out with her because they felt sorry for her parents being divorced. They didn't even like her. It was never shown if this happened to the cartoon Will. One of her enemies tried to trick her into thinking this would eventually happen with the other Guardians, but the Oracle assured her that even ''he'' could not see what the future would be.

* BadassAdorable: They're all are {{Adorkable}} cuties protecting the worlds.

* BadassFamily: However, they consider one another like family.

* HealingFactor: In the comic they have "Xing-Jing's Gift", that allow them to heal faster than usual, not feel the fatigue from the transformation, and over time healed Taranee's sight.
