* Taruruto of ''Manga/MagicalTarurutoKun'' is a RareMaleExample, having the appearance of a toddler, but utilizing many of the staples of a traditional cute witch character. This includes the ability to fly (though with bat-like wings), alter time, turn inanimate objects into sentient beings, change his friends' genders, and give them or himself a power boost. His SelfProclaimedGirlfriend, Mimora is a more traditional example, capable of using spells that last longer. In reality, because they're both young, they're pretty [[IneptMage inept]] and their magic only lasts for 10 and 30 minutes respectively.

* ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' was originally envisioned as a witch, but Creator/{{CLAMP}} decided that tgihey needed something more original, and looked to tarot cards for their inspiration. She still shares a lot in common with witch {{Magical Girl}}s (one of the remaining traces of this inspiration being that she can apply the Fly card to ride her Sealing Staff through the sky like a magic broom).

* In ''LightNovel/MagicalGirlRaisingProject'', magical girls are supposed to help people with more mundane problems using their magic they received from the Magical Kingdom and otherwise just live a normal life. Some embody this spirit well, though others prefer to use their gifts for more combat-related purposes.

She's a very cute practitioner of Pokemon magic who wears witch-like clothes and she's looking for the supplies she needs to cast as spell that allows people to understand Pokemon talk and read their minds; Ash is obviously thrilled, and the group decides to tag along.

{{Cute Witch}}es are a staple of AnimeAndManga series.

* The ''Gedou Otome Tai'' half of ''Anime/AkahoriGedouHourLovege'' revolves around five sisters who are daughters of masked villains. They are given magical powers and [[ObviouslyEvil black witch outfits]] by an [[CuteMonsterGirl imp]] so that they can be [[DarkMagicalGirl great villains.]] Except that they're so [[MinionWithAnFInEvil damn nice,]] they just can't help but use their powers to do good.
* The eponymous Cha-Cha from ''Manga/AkazukinChaCha'' - she's an adorable little girl in a red hood, who also happens to be an IneptMage. Well, at least in the manga - in the anime, she's more of a MagicalGirlWarrior.
* Schierke from ''Manga/{{Berserk}}''. She's only about ten or twelve years old, but is already skilled enough at magic that she begins teaching Farnese, who is ten years her senior, the basics of witchcraft. She has little in common with {{Magical Girl}}s, though, and more with traditional Western witches: while not ugly or evil, she prefers a reclusive lifestyle out in the country, and her powers largely revolve around channeling local nature spirits and AstralProjection. Her spells also take a long time to set up, so she's [[SquishyWizard near-useless in close combat]]. But when she's ready to unleash a spell, she can rival Guts, the series resident badass, with how many enemies she takes out.
* ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' was originally envisioned as a witch, but Creator/{{CLAMP}} decided that they needed something more original, and looked to tarot cards for their inspiration. She still shares a lot in common with witch {{Magical Girl}}s (one of the remaining traces of this inspiration being that she can apply the Fly card to ride her Sealing Staff/Star Staff through the sky like a magic broom).
* ''Anime/FloralMagicianMaryBell'' is a [[TimeAbyss 500,000]]-year-old girl in the form of a cute little five-year-old, and possesses the ability to use both ordinary magic and "flower" magic.
* ''Manga/FlyingWitch'': Both 16-year-old main character Kowata Makoto, and her 8-year-old cousin, Chinatsu.
* ''Manga/HellsAngels'' has Kiki, one of Rinne's classmates, that is ShoutOut to main character of ''Anime/KikisDeliveryService''.
* Himeko "Hime-chan" Nonohara of ''Manga/HimechanNoRibon'' is a cute little girl who gains the ability to transform into anybody in the human world (for one hour) after gaining a magic hair ribbon.
* ''Manga/HimitsuNoAkkoChan'' - Atsuko "Akko-chan" Kagami, a cute elementary schoolgirl, is a given a magic mirror which she uses to transform into anything and anyone she wants.
* Izetta from ''Anime/IzettaTheLastWitch'' is this both in her childhood and the present day storyline.
* Kiki of ''Anime/KikisDeliveryService'' is a young witch-in-training who, at 13, moves to a city for a year as part of her training. She supports herself via airborne delivery services (hence the title).
* Lime from ''Anime/JewelBEMHunterLime'' is a hybrid of this and MagicalGirlWarrior — she's tasked with saving the world from evil [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters Of The Week]] and has transforming powers, but she's also a natural-born magical user and a clueless newcomer to the human world.
* ''Toys/{{Jewelpet}}'', at its most basic, is about the adorable (and mostly female) titular pets studying to become mages, and the humans that partner with them and study alongside them are more often than not just as [[{{Moe}} cute]].
* Chiyoko from ''Literature/KuromajoSanGaToru'' is an adorable high school student who becomes a black witch apprentice after accidentally summoning a more powerful witch.
%%* Maple, in the manga based on ''Manga/TheLegendOfZelda: Oracle of Seasons''.
* Almost all the characters in ''Franchise/LittleWitchAcademia'' fit this trope. It's about a school for schoolgirl witches and it's anime, self-explanatory, really. Also somewhat of a {{Reconstruction}}/Revival of the genre.
* ''Literature/{{Maburaho}}'': Yuna practices Western magic, and when dressed up in the proper attire, she looks like the standard stereotypical lovely witch.
* In ''LightNovel/MagicalGirlRaisingProject'', magical girls are supposed to help people with more mundane problems using their magic they received from the Magical Kingdom and otherwise just live a normal life. Some embody this spirit well, though others prefer to use their gifts for more combat-related purposes.
* ''Anime/MagicalWitchPuniechan'' is a brutal parody of cute witch series. Punie, while definitely cute as a button, is more of the model of a WickedWitch.
* ''Anime/MagicUsersClub'' was the first to have a group of Cute Witches (and Wizards) working as a team. It's also special because it mixed magic with aliens ''and'' the Witches and Wizards are actually members of a School Club centered on the occult.
%%* Despite looking a bit ''Anime/SailorMoon''-ish, ''Anime/MagicalAngelSweetMint'' is of the Cute Witch variety.
* Fabia Crozelg of ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaVivid'', who's described not as a [[MagicalGirlWarrior standard mage]] like most of the cast, but as a True Witch, complete with magic broom and adorable imp familiars.
* Yuuma from ''Anime/MagicalPokaan'', a girl who describes herself as a "sorceress" and who tries to solve many of her problems with her (not very advanced) magic powers..
* ''Anime/MagicalPrincessMinkyMomo'' - both Momos are magic-using princesses from a MagicalLand, and both are ADORABLE.
* With ''Anime/MahoGirlsPrecure'', the ''Anime/PrettyCure'' series has officially combined this with their traditional MagicalGirlWarrior.
* ''Anime/MahouShojoLalabel'': Lalabel is completed with a feline sidekick. In the first episode, she even lampshades the fact that she subverts the [[WickedWitch negative witch stereotype]].
%%* ''Anime/MahouShoujoTaiArusu'' (aka ''Tweeny Witches'')
* ''Anime/MahouTsukaiChappy'', a [[FollowTheLeader close emulator]] of Sally, has a Cute Witch ''accidentally'' falling to Earth with her brother and their mascot, and they establish themselves here on Earth.
* ''Anime/MajokkoMegChan'' is what happens when this trope collides with {{Fanservice}}. Meg-chan herself is a young witch competing with another extra dimensional traveller called Non for the throne, and again this takes place on Earth.
* Majokko Tickle from ''Anime/MajokkoTickle'' is ThePrankster and a mischievous cute witch.
%%* ''Anime/MajokkoTsukuneChan'' is another parody, albeit a somewhat gentler one.
* Letty from ''Manga/TheMikosWordsAndTheWitchesIncantations'' is both very cute and very powerful (more so after becoming a demi-god).
* Shouta from ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'' is a RareMaleExample. He's rarely seen performing magic, but his looks have earned him the affection of ex-goddess [[ComedicShotacon Lucoa]] (much to his misfortune). The anime even has an episode where he plays the role of a magical girl in a Christmas Play.
* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'':
** Negi is a RareMaleExample. He is a Mage who works as a Homeroom[=/=]English Teacher (rather than a student studying in a normal or WizardingSchool) for a normal ([[ExtranormalInstitute sort of]] [[note]]what with it having a RobotGirl and a Vampire[[/note]]) class as a continuation of his training as a mage after graduating in his WizardingSchool. As the series progressed, he evolved into a KungFuWizard.
** LittleMissSnarker Yue becomes a witch as she learns magic in Ariadne Academy and still in her teenage years.
** [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampire]] Evangeline. One of most Powerful magicians in the world(s?), [[OlderThanTheyLook have appearance of cute 10-years-old kid]].
** Yue's Ariadne classmates. They've been learning magic for far longer than Yue and are attractive looking.
** QuirkyMinibossSquad Fate's Ministrae Magi. Attractive teens with each of them can kickass with magic.
** Negi's UnluckyChildhoodFriend Anya is a cute young girl with GirlishPigtails who specializes in [[PlayingWithFire fire magic]], and before the Magical World trip, her standard attire was a RobeAndWizardHat.
** [[ThoseTwoGuys Those Two Girls]] Takane and Mei – both are good-looking young girls with the ability to use elemental magic ([[CastingAShadow shadow magic]] for Takane, [[PlayingWithFire fire magic]] for Mei).
* ''Anime/OjamajoDoremi'': Doremi wished to have magic so as to have the courage to confess to a boy she liked. She typically uses her magic for MundaneUtility while training to return her mentor to her original form, [[IneptMage sometimes with disastrous results]]. [[CuteClumsyGirl She is adorable yet clumsy]] but has a big heart and more TrueCompanions than anyone could ask for, despite her faults that put her in GrayAndGreyMorality.
* Since ''Anime/OkusamaWaMahouShoujo'' draws a lot from the original MagicalGirl series, the girls are generally of this flavour, riding on brooms and similar objects.
* In the ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' Johto anime episode ''Hokus Pokemon'', Ash and Co. befriend a girl named Lily and her [[CorvidTropes Murkrow]]. She's a very cute practitioner of Pokemon magic who wears witch-like clothes and she's looking for the supplies she needs to cast as spell that allows people to understand Pokemon talk and read their minds; Ash is obviously thrilled, and the group decides to tag along. [[spoiler: The spell actually [[ForcedTransformation transforms Ash into a talking Pikachu]] for a short while.]]
* ''Manga/PuellaMagiKazumiMagica'' features Kazumi [[spoiler: and by extension, Michiru Kazusa,]] and Yuuri, who all favor Cute Witch imagery (though "witch" in that setting means [[EldritchAbomination something very different]]). In both cases, though, the implication is more toward WickedWitch, since [[spoiler: Kazumi is a [[HumanoidAbomination transformed witch]] and]] Yuuri is evil.
* Alice Rose of ''Manga/RaspberryFieldNoMajo'' is a beautiful young girl who becomes a witch after making a contract with a demon who grants her magic powers in exchange for her collecting secrets for him to devour.
* Honami from ''Anime/RentalMagica'' is a cute bespectacled Celtic mage who uses Welsh stones to create shields or and sense spell power, carries an oak wand and uses a broom for flight. She normally wears her school uniform, but will put on a mantle and pointed hat when she needs to.
* Yukari Sendou from ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' is a schoolmate of Moka and Tsukune in their ExtranormalInstitute. She is from a MageSpecies and wears a witch outfit, but otherwise uses MagicalGirl style magic rather than the usual curses and ForcedTransformation magic witches are known for. She's a bit [[ACupAngst unhappy]] with her cute witch status, since she's a member of Tskune's UnwantedHarem and he's not into younger girls. This leads to her trying to turn herself into a HotWitch at one point and, well, [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor bad things happen]].
* [=ChibiUsa=] in ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' is more like one than the standard MagicalGirlWarrior the show features. She's time-traveled from the future for unspecified training, and her powers are mostly trickery rather than being useful for fighting. In fact, her "Pink Sugar Heart Attack" is one joke of a FinishingMove. (In the Anime, at least. In the Manga it was a standard attack).
* ''Manga/SallyTheWitch'', inspired by Samantha from ''Series/{{Bewitched}}'' is the TropeMaker and TropeCodifier. She's actually a girl from a MagicalLand who is sent to Earth as training for the day she'll become the Queen...
* Unlike their ''Anime/PrettySammy'' counterparts, Sasami and Misao (along with their original castmates) of ''Anime/SasamiMagicalGirlsClub'' play the Cute Witch card instead of the MagicalGirlWarrior card.
* Tiara, the heroine of ''Anime/ShamanicPrincess'', is a cute witch at her core -- she's royalty from a MagicalLand and her power is inherited. But in practice she's a MagicalGirlWarrior and a practitioner of FullContactMagic. She's [[ActionGirl talented enough]] and grown up enough that the government of her magical land employs her as a [[CreatureHunterOrganization special agent]], protecting mundane dimensions from rogue magical beings.
* Chikage in ''LightNovel/SisterPrincess'' is a cute red-haired girl who dresses in ElegantGothicLolita fashion and performs HermeticMagic.
* ''Manga/SoulEater'':
** Angela is an innocent child witch (unusual, considering the [[AlwaysChaoticEvil nature of witches]]).
** Blair ([[OurMonstersAreDifferent who is not technically a witch by the definition that series uses]], but rather a [[CatsAreMagic shapeshifting cat]]) straddles the line between this and HotWitch.
** [[spoiler: Later, Kim is revealed to be a good witch, attending Shibusen because she doesn't want to join the other witches.]]
** Eruka too, even with her likening for bombing buildings and people. The youngest combined form of the Mizune (Baba Yaga arc) is also rather cute.
%%* The entire female cast of ''Anime/StrikeWitches'', though the oldest few of them (meaning 20 at the oldest) drift into HotWitch territory.
* Providing the image for the main page: Vanilla and Chocolat from ''Manga/SugarSugarRune''. They're both candidates to become the Queen of their Magical Land, and to do so they must venture into the Human World and collect "hearts" - extracted human emotions representing how a person feels towards you. Whoever captures the most shall become queen...
* ''Anime/TwinPrincessOfWonderPlanet'' starts of as this before becoming a MagicalGirlWarrior series. To elaborate, Fine and Rein, the titular Twin Princesses, use the [[MagicByAnyOtherName power of the Prominence]] given to them by the BigGood to help the people of the Wonder Planet with their problems and become proper princesses. It starts to become more or less MagicalGirlWarrior in the middle of the first season, but the girls typically have to refer to unorthodox fighting methods since their powers weren't built for fighting. They ultimately save the world from being destroyed by [[EldritchAbomination the Black Crystal]].
* Nina from ''Anime/UltraManiac'' is a cute IneptMage who has come from the Magic Kingdom as a NewTransferStudent (manga)[=/=](to pass her MagicalGirlQueenlinessTest (anime)- though here she shares the lead role with her MuggleBestFriend, Ayu.
* In ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'', even the cute-looking witches are mad, bad, and dangerous to know, subverting the trope of a benevolent cutesy witch girl.
* ''Manga/WitchHatAtelier'' stars four young girls who are training to become high ranking witches under their master, Qifrey, though the trials and hardships they go through are [[DarkerAndEdgier harsher and more dangerous than most series partake in.]]
%%* ''LightNovel/ModernMagicMadeSimple''
* Dark Magician Girl of ''Anime/YuGiOh'', also the trope namer for BlackMagicianGirl. Borders on HotWitch, depending on how blatant the {{Fanservice}} is.
