Voiced by: Naomi Nagasawa (Japanese), Lisa Ortiz (English), Guadalupe Noel (Latin-American Spanish), Rosa Vivas (European Spanish)
Used to be human...
A witch who owns and unsuccessfully manages the Maho-dou. She was caught by Doremi and, as a result, she was cursed and transformed into a magic frog-like creature.
- Accentuate the Negative: Majo Rika prefers to yell at the girls for what they did wrong, as opposed to praising them for anything done right, which she considers to be how they should do things by default.

- Butt-Monkey
- Catchphrase: "You idiot!"

- Image Song: "Majorika Bravo!!"
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She may be loud and rude, but she does genuinely care for the girls.
- Large Ham: Things that would only mildly irritate most other people infuriate her.
- Mentor Mascot: Sorta acts as this to the Ojamajos, though she's more of a mentor than a mascot.

- Pointy Ears: In her human form.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to Lala's blue.

Voiced by: Megumi Takamura (Japanese), Andi Whaley (English), Irma Carmona (Latin-American Spanish), Carmen Podio (European Spanish)
Majo Rika's fully grown fairy.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Downplayed. She's not exactly horrible, but like Majo Rika, has a greedy side (it's just that she's better at hiding it than her owner is).
- Dub Name Change: Laralie in the 4Kids dub.
- Gold and White Are Divine
- Meaningful Name: Her name comes from the music note "La".
- Older Than They Look: Lala is around the same age as Hehe, if not older.

Majo Ruka (Patunia)
Voiced by: Mayumi Shou (Japanese), Caren Lyn Manual-Tackett (English), RocÃo Azofra (European Spanish)
Majo Rika's rival. When she came to own the Mahou-Dou, she sold cursed trinkets that eventually harmed whoever had them. She was caught by Onpu and cursed just like Majo Rika.
- Bad Boss: Her treatment of Hehe has prompted the fairy to mess things up for her.
- Bad Luck Charm: The charms she sold granted good fortune at first while causing severe ailments. Played straight when she sold one to Doremi after seeing through her Paper-Thin Disguise.
- Bewitched Amphibians: when Onpu discovers her.
- Blackmail: Doremi, Hazuki, and Aiko use this to force her to let them into Majo Kai to take an extra credit test.
- Disc-One Final Boss: Served as the primary antagonist while she controlled the shop. Once she was defeated and the shop returned to Majo Rika's possession, she left in disgust. She returned later but as Onpu's Evil Mentor.
- Evil Counterpart: To Majo Rika. To go into detail, they're both greedy and have a short temper, but while Majo Rika is a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, Majo Ruka is shown to have a Lack of Empathy, is twice as greedy as Majo Rika, and is willing to hurt others just to get what she wants.
- Evil Mentor: To Onpu.
- Evil Twin: She's actually Majo Rika's twin sister!
- Forced Transformation: Suffered this when Onpu discovered her.
- Heel–Face Turn: Eventually becomes drinking buddies with Majo Rika.
- Honest John's Dealership: The magic items she sold while she was in control of the Mahou-Dou worked better than the items made by the girls but had serious side effects. Eventually came back to bite her in the ass.
- I Lied: Promised to remove the cursed effects of the charms she sold after losing to the girls so long as they return her Crystal Ball (and pointing out that she can't do anything without it). When the girls do, she instead teleports away, leaving the girls and Majo Rika to clean up her mess.
- Jerkass: Does a number of petty things For the Evulz. To wit, from her arc in the early first season alone:
- Rubbing in her gaining the shop from Dela after the latter won it off of Majo Rika in a game of poker.
- Giving Doremi a Bad Luck Charm just to toy with her.
- Refusing to let them take their exams.
- Sending her Mooks to give bad publicity for the girls.
- Deliberately makes Good Luck Charms that eventually hurt their owners.
- Refuses to give a refund when people start complaining.
- Refuses to clean up her mess after agreeing to do so when her magic is returned to her after her defeat.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She showed concern for Onpu during the first series when she was abusing forbidden magic, though it could very well have been for selfish reasons...
- Lack of Empathy: Primarily during her earlier appearances, though she mellows out a bit in later arcs.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Was caught by Onpu not long after she unwillingly gave back the Mahou-Dou to the girls.
- Pointed Ears: In her Witch form.
- Pragmatic Villainy: One possible reason for caring about Onpu is that she's the only one who can return her to normal.
- The Rival: To Majo Rika since they were young. Then you find out they're actually twins...
- Starter Villain: The first real villain of the series given that she rubbed her gaining the shop in Majo Rika's face, deliberately caused pain and suffering to those who bought her Bad Luck Charms, and finally went back on her word in removing the cursed effects of her charms when the Ojamajos defeated her.
- Theme Naming: She and her sister Majorika are named after the Japanese cosmetics brand Majolica Majorca.
- Villain: Exit, Stage Left: Teleports away upon having her Crystal Ball being returned to her while failing to keep her end of the bargain to clean up her mess.
- Wicked Witch: Qualified as one in her earlier episodes, given that she cursed people by giving them Bad Luck Charms, is old, kept a rat and a bat as both pets and Mooks, rides a broom, wears her hair in two buns, and cackles.
Hehe (Falinda)
Voiced by: Hiroko Konishi (Japanese), Gabriela Willert (Latin-American Spanish), RocÃo Azofra (European Spanish)
Majo Ruka's fully grown fairy.
- Ambiguously Brown: Hehe has dark skin, but it's implied to be a fake tan when Lala accuses Hehe of dressing younger than her age, which, according to the timeline of the show, would be the ganguro trend.
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Disappears after season 1 due to her voice actress, Hiroko Konishi, retiring in 2000.
- The Dragon: Unless Majo Ruka pisses her off somehow. Then she becomes The Starscream.
- Jerkass: Hehe is just as rude as Majo Ruka can be.
- Kawaiiko: Hehe often presents herself as cute.
- Older Than They Look: While Hehe's age isn't stated in the series, she's been with Majo Ruka for quite a while. This is especially pointed out when Lala calls Hehe out on dressing younger than she actually is, as Hehe indulges in what looks to be the ganguro trend, which was popular with teenagers and young women at the time.
- The Rival: Hehe and Lala don't have a rivalry as big as Majo Rika and Majo Ruka's, but it's still there.
- The Starscream: Sometimes Majo Ruka mistreats Hehe, causing her to unintentionally give the upper hand to the Ojamajos.
- Voluntary Shapeshifting: Her disguise in the human world is a blue-furred cat.
Majo Monroe
Voiced by: Ikue Otani (Japanese)

- Spanner in the Works: In a way: She had somehow obtained the recipe to the My Beloved Tourbillon cake George had made for Majo Tourbillion and sold it in her shop. Once Momoko remembers this, she and the other girls are able to recreate the recipe to remind Tourbillon of the good times, which reverts the Cursed Forest back into the Love Supreme Forest and expose Tourbillon’s real body.

Dela (Conya)
Voiced by: Chihiro Sakurai (Japanese), Mollie Weaver (English)
The Witch World Tax Collector.
- Crazy-Prepared: She has a knack for conveniently having specific items on hand. Justified since she has to deal with this sort of thing all the time as the tax collector.

- Silver Vixen: She is much more youthful and attractive than most witches.

Majo Toron
The resident inventor of Majo Kai. She is responsible for the creation of the porons the Ojamajos (sans Pop and Hana) use during Dokkan and is thus the only one who can refill them.

- Supreme Chef: Used to be royal chef of Majo Tourbillon back when the latter was the queen.

Majo Heart
Voiced by: Fumie Houjou (Japanese)
- Defrosting Ice Queen
- Hidden Depths: She doesn't start out hating humans. In fact she used to live among them with her foster daughter, Majo Ran. She only grew to distrust humans because some of them bought out her medicines and used her knowledge to cause war, making her lose faith in them.
- The Medic
- Jerkass: At first. The girls' dedication helped win her over. It was with a warm smile that she proclaimed Hana had passed her final exam.
- Parental Substitute: To Majo Ran.
- Stern Teacher: Though she comes off harsh, she is also fair to the new parents from the start (even the Ojamajos).
Majo Don
Voiced by: Ayumi Takatani (Japanese), Raquel MartÃn (European Spanish)

Majo Prima
Voiced by: Rika Fukami (Japanese)
- Big Fancy House: Her place of residence. Surprisingly not commented upon by the girls.
- Impossible Hourglass Figure: Being a model, of course.
- Silver Vixen: She is a model and Witches are established to be Really 700 Years Old, so this is to be expected.
- Sweet Tooth: Subverted. She doesn't like sweet foods because they make her fat.
- Obfuscating Stupidity: She is part of the Witch Senate for a reason, and she is wise enough to know whether someone passes her tests or not.
Majo Sloan

Witch Queen (Queen Lumina)
Voiced by: Yuka Imai (Japanese), Carol Jacobanis (English), Pepa Agudo (European Spanish)
- Big Good
- The Chessmaster: A benign version.
- Chekhov's Gunman
- The Faceless: Reinforced by the veil she wears until episode 50 of Dokkan.
- Good Is Not Soft: Benevolent she may be, but she is quite strict when it comes to dealing with those who use magic for selfish reasons. She even nearly prevented the Ojamajos from saving Onpu from her Laser-Guided Karma on the grounds of her overuse of Mind Control magic and only relented when the girls convinced her that Onpu had changed (not to mention having used forbidden magic to save herself and them from a Forced Transformation!).
- Heroic Sacrifice: Attempted in the Sharp finale, but stopped by Majo Rin and Majo Heart. She attempts to cure the Ojamajos' condition, knowing as humans they would die before the curse would be released.
- The High Queen: She is the Queen of the Witch World and has been that way for at least 100 years.
- Hot Witch: As old as she is, she is definitely very attractive. Of course, she is also Long-Lived, just like all other Witches in this series, so it's to be expected.

- Leitmotif: "Majokai no Joou-sama"
- Light Is Good: Often appears in a shining carriage driven by Majorin.

- Not So Above It All: She has been known to do things that would be out of place for a Queen, such as idiotically testing out the girls' magic tricks during episode 46 of the first series.
- The Reveal: Was really Yuki in disguise and had been watching Doremi since she was little.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to Majorin's blue. She has been shown to have a more playful and curious side to her personality and sometimes does rash actions such as going to try and fight Majo Tourbillon to save the Ojamajos.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: She may be strict, but she is a very kind and benevolent ruler who addresses the problems of the Witch World.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: She has intervened on behalf of the girls and allowed them to pass exams where they would normally have failed. Near the end of Motto, she actually attempts to take Majo Tourbillon head on, despite knowing full well how powerful she is. And then during the beginning of Dokkan, she chips her pendant (weakening her powers in the process) so as to give Hana back her position of candidate for the next queen.
- Stealth Mentor
- Two Aliases, One Character: She and Yuki-sensei are one in the same.
Majo Rin (Amaretta)
Voiced by: Reiko Kiuchi (Japanese), Kelly Ray (English), Carolina Tak (European Spanish)

- The Lancer: Majo Rin is the Queen's right-hand Witch.
- Mystical White Hair: Justfied, given her own magic. What little of her hair is visible is a grayish-white.

A white elephant that grows attached to Hana and eventually follows her to Misora. She has the ability to free people from the Big Bad's control.
- All of the Other Reindeer: The other elephants in her herd shun her due to her white skin and large ears.
