Witches (魔女, majo)
Female members of the humanoid species in the Magical Realm.
- Abandon the Disabled: The witches test the magic of girls of sixteen to drive the magically disabled out of their society.
- Always Female: The male magic-users are either wizards or warlocks, depending on their faction.
- Appeal to Tradition:
- When Arusu releases all the captive fairies back to the wild out of pity, Sheila tells her that the witches capture fairies because it's a time-honored magical tradition, much to her frustration.
- Atelia refuses to save her captive son, Lennon, from the warlocks because The Chains of Commanding obligates her to protect the witches' tradition—even if it means she must give up the precious family she once had against the law of the witches.
- Dangerous 16th Birthday: The witch evaluation tests the magical ability of girls of 16. Failures are banished to the Human Realm through the Interdimensional Sea, in which a pirate terrorizes ships.
- Dark Is Not Evil: The witches in the Witch Realm wear black, but most of them are decent.
- The Exile: The witches exile undesirables to the Human Realm through the Interdimensional Sea. Undesirables include troublemakers like all the members of the special task force, who escape punishment only because Atelia employs them, and the magically disabled like Qoo and the witches on the Ludens.
- Flying Broomstick: They fly on brooms using the feathers of gryphon fairies.
- Hypocrite: The witches practice eugenics by outlawing Interspecies Romance between humans and those who have passed the witch evaluation. But according to Eva in "Witches' Tradition", it's a custom for those who can't enter office to marry warlocks — even those in Wizard Kingdom where magic is suppressed.
- Lady Land: Exaggerated. The Witch Realm is inhabited only by witches, who reproduce by having jobless adults marry into the warlocks; while the sons live with both their parents in the Warlock Realm, the daughters live with only their mothers in the Witch Realm.
- Locked Out of the Loop: Invoked. Atelia tells Arusu and her friends not to tell anyone about Arusu being a human.
- Maligned Mixed Marriage: The witches are forbidden to have Interspecies Romance with humans, except for those exiled to the Human Realm for their failure to pass the witch evaluation at age 16. This becomes a plot point when it's revealed that Lennon is the Child of Forbidden Love between Atelia and Jidan, the latter of whom left the former with him to prevent persecution in the traditionalist society of the Witch Realm. With the encouragement of Arusu, Atelia chooses the family she's missed for 14 years over her duty as an honored leader, pulling a Zero-Approval Gambit to save her son from the warlocks.
- No Fathers Allowed: The witches are reared in the Witch Realm away from their warlock fathers.
- Our Witches Are Different: The witches in the narrow sense are an ethnic group native to the Magical Realm. They're notable for being all-female, dressing mostly in black, and traditionalism, though it's revealed late into the series that Lennon is a male witch.
- Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality: The Witch Realm is a Lady Land, with the men only in the Warlock Realm.
- Super Breeding Program: Sheila explicitly says in "Witch Evaluation" that the witch evaluation exists to keep the magic of the witches. According to Eva in "The Piskey's Fang", those who fail at the evaluation spend the rest of their lives as wives and mothers of humans. "Lennon's True Identity" implies that those who have passed, on the other hand, are forbidden from having relationships with humans.
- Witch Classic: The witches in the Witch Realm wear black with pointed hats, fly on brooms, live in a nature-rich environment, and have three examples of The Weird Sisters.
- Women Are Wiser: The society of the witches has flaws and issues, but they are definitely portrayed as morally superior compared to the warlocks, who are (mostly) Always Chaotic Evil Nazi analogs, and nearly every villain in the series is male — Grande is a hateful Evil Overlord, Sigma seems to be an Aloof Ally but is actually a manipulative Enfant Terrible, Tiana and Luca are bloodthirsty commanders, Lennon (though not a warlock) starts out as a ruthless pirate and a Sissy Villain, Jestor was a Mad Scientist in life and tries to destroy the world posthumously, and the Faceless Goons are cruel soldiers. The only witches to be villains are the incompetent special task force and two one-shot villains in The Adventures, the Ice Witch and Black Tohma; the former is a typical villain and not nearly as vile as Grande and Jestor while the latter is a sympathetic Enemy Without. Meanwhile, the only non-villainous named male characters are Jidan, the wizards Wil and Nito, Dragon, and a handful of one-shot The Adventures characters.
Leaders
General
The Grand Master of Witches and the Three Sages consist the leadership of the witches.
- Mage Tower: The Grand Master of Witches lives in a large castle called Dragon Palatium.
- Magocracy: The Witch Realm is ruled by the Grand Master of Witches and the Three Sages, in stark contrast to the Warlock Realm, where the wizards are persecuted by the military government. The witch evaluation is conducted by the council against apprentice witches to protect their tradition by banishing the magically disabled to the Human Realm, a fate all witches fear.
- The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Presatio and Credelle are the members of the Three Sages, but unlike Atelia, they are never seen doing something political on their own.
- Robe and Wizard Hat: The Grand Master of Witches and the Three Sages all wear black robes and pointed hats.
- The Three Wise Men: The Three Sages are a group of three powerful witches that rule the Witch Realm alongside the Grand Master of Witches.
- The Weird Sisters: The Three Sages are the secondary leaders of the witches.

Appearances: TV series | The Adventures
- Affectionate Nickname: Arusu calls her "Granny" in the Grand Finale.
- Ambiguously Brown: She has noticeably darker skin than most characters. This is never commented on or explained, and the fact that her younger self had pale skin makes it even stranger.
- Anime Hair: She has white hair that extends a ludicrous distance forward from her head. Averted 200 years ago when she wore her hair straight with a hair tie at the end.
- Bait-and-Switch: In the Grand Finale, when the Grand Master of Witches casts a spell on Sheila and Eva, Arusu assumes that the highest authority in the Witch Realm decides to punish them both even though only Eva casted dark magic. However, Atelia reveals that she actually has removed the Curse of Eternal Youth from the two apprentice witches.
- Barrier Maiden: According to Sigma, she maintains a city-wide magic field that prevents outsiders from entering Witch Heaven.
- Big Good: The leader of the witches in their war against the warlocks, and the Good Counterpart to Grande.
- The Chains of Commanding: Sheila asks her to send Arusu and Eva to the Human Realm in order to spare them from the eventual destruction of the Magical Realm. The Grand Master of Witches refuses to accept her request because as the highest authority in the Witch Realm, she cannot make an exception for a single person when it's impossible to send all her people to the Human Realm.
- Cool and Unusual Punishment: She casts the Curse of Eternal Youth on Sheila and Eva as punishment for their failure to stop Arusu from releasing all the captive fairies back to the wild.
- Day in the Limelight: "The Ice Witch and the Dragon of Fire and Ice" focuses on her younger self, Gana.
- Everyone Calls Her "Barkeep": Most characters usually refer to her as "Grand Master." "The Ice Witch and the Dragon of Fire and Ice" reveals that she was born "Gana," but it seems that no one refers to her by her name after she becomes the current Grand Master of Witches.
- Formal Characters Use Keigo: She always has formal speech patterns to indicate her dignified status as the highest-ranking authority in the Witch Realm.
- Inconsistent Coloring: In her youth, her skin is pale. As an elderly, her skin is brown.

- Ms. Exposition: In the Grand Finale, she explains that dark magic draws its powers from hatred and that the law of the witches forbids the usage of dark magic because it drives the people to absolute despair, taking away their will to rebuild and even their hopes.
- Never Mess with Granny: She lives for over 200, as revealed in "The Ice Witch and the Dragon of Fire and Ice". She is still one of the most powerful witches in the realm, regardless.
- No Name Given: Subverted. Initially, she is simply Grand Master, but "The Ice Witch And the Dragon of Fire and Ice" reveals that her real name is Gana.
- Perpetual Frowner: Wears a stern expression at almost all times.
- Purple Is Powerful: She has two purple gems on her hat and robe. She also happens to be the highest-ranking authority in the Witch Realm.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: When she orders Sheila to find the traitor among the witches, Sheila asks her to remove the Curse of Eternal Youth from at least Eva if Sheila fulfills the order. Even though it's never shown whether she accepts it, she still removes the curse from both Sheila and Eva after Sheila finds out Eva is the traitor.
- Spell My Name With An S: The North American credits for the cast lists her as Grand Master of Witches. However, she is called Grand Master in the series.
- The Stoic: Always calm and collected.
- Wizards Live Longer: Looks like she's in her 50's to 60's, but is over 200.
Atelia (アテリア, Ateria)
Voiced by: Atsuko Tanaka (Japanese), Jessica Gee-George (English)
Appearances: TV series | The Adventures
- Action Girl: She fought the warlocks in Wizard Kingdom alongside the wizards to bring the Grand Master of Witches back the True Book of Spells. During the raid, she rescued her future husband, Jidan, from prison.
- Anti-Hero: While she supports Arusu in her own way, Atelia is willing to protect the safety of her people using some morally ambiguous methods. She tends to prefer the traditions over personal happiness, following even the ones like capturing fairies and banishing failed witches to the Human Realm. When Arusu releases all the captive fairies back to the wild, she refuses to tell her people about the loss of the magical resources in the custody of the holding facility lest potential rebels should try gaining power to fight against the upper echelons. When her people starts falling to the Mystical Plague, she scapegoats the warlocks for it lest they should be thrown into confusion out of fear that The End of the World as We Know It is fast approaching. Arusu calls her out, pointing out how it is meaningless for her people to be in conflict with the members of their kind even in the face of The End of the World as We Know It. By the end of the series, she develops into something different from her former self. When Lennon is taken hostage by the warlocks, she offers herself in his place, knowing the people around her would attack her for giving birth to him by her human husband against the law of the witches. Realizing that magic is For Happiness, she uses her last powers to sends a dream to Arusu to give her Jidan's message about the magic of light.
- Blatant Lies: When her long-lost son, Lennon, confronts her, she tells him that she is not the woman he is looking for.
- Broken Ace: According to the special task force, she was a "goody-two-shoes who could do everything" ever since she was an apprentice witch. As the successor to Gana as Grand Master of Witches, she is a powerful influence on the Witch Realm and is greatly respected by her people. When Sheila spies on her to find out whether she is the traitor, she is crying upon a vague portrait of a couple and their baby, suggesting that she misses her missing husband and son for 14 years.
- Category Traitor: She was a capable witch but secretly married a human named Jidan before her rise to power, which her people find so scandalous that, when she reveals it to save her mixed son, they label her as a traitor and would have killed her exactly as she plans if Arusu hadn't intervened.
- The Chains of Commanding: When the warlocks capture Lennon in place of Arusu, Atelia refuses to save her son because as the successor to the Grand Master of Witches, she has the duty of protecting the tradition of the witches. Arusu tells her that no one can protect magic without using it For Happiness and that a mother is supposed to protect her son no matter what, leading the sage to sacrifice her status as a respected leader so she can save him and her husband from Luca, who threatens to kill them both if the young boy refuses to give the warlocks the True Book of Spells.
- Character Tics: Early in the series, she has a habit of biting her fingernail.
- Chekhov's Gun: Atelia's box, which she opens to give Arusu her apprentice witch uniform in "The Book of Spells", contains a vague portrait of a couple and their baby. She quietly cries at the same portrait when Sheila spies on Atelia in search of the traitor among the witches. It takes more episodes to reveal that she lost her husband and son 14 years ago.
- Combat Stilettos: The cover for Volume 6 in Japan
◊ makes it clear that she wore a black pair of high heels as a soldier. - Common Law Marriage: Jidan and Atelia are referred to as husband and wife, having lived together for long and produced a son named Lennon. Because of the laws against relationships between witches and humans, they couldn't have legally married even if they wanted to.
- Conflicting Loyalty: She's been torn between her duty to her people, especially as a leader in the present, and her love for the family she had against their tradition. She ultimately chooses the latter after Arusu tells her not to let tradition get in the way of personal happiness.
- Conspicuous Gloves: She wore a black pair of forearm length gloves as a soldier.
- Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: Lennon tries to kill his witch mother, Atelia, in the belief that she abandoned both him and his human father, Jidan, for getting in the way of her rise to power. Her initial disownment of him during their reunion, along with her rationalization that she gave him up to fulfill her duty as a leader, doesn't help matters. The truth is complicated; a ship accident separated him from his father, who fled with him to protect her from the conservative society of the witches. She is seen crying over a portrait of a couple holding their baby even after 14 years have passed since she tried looking for them in vain.
- Disappointed in You:
- She tells Sheila this when the latter failed to stop Arusu from releasing all the captive fairies back to the wild.
- When a bunch of apprentice witch find about the escape of the fairies, she removes Sheila from her position as the discipline officer in charge of the apprentice witches in district A.
- Downfall by Sex: She orchestrates her own fall from grace by revealing to the witches and warlocks that Lennon is not Arusu, the human with the True Book of Spells, but the product of her forbidden marriage to the human Jidan.
- Dream Weaver: She uses her last powers to send a dream to Arusu in order to give her Jidan's message about the magic of light.
- Easily Forgiven: Implied. When Luca sets humans up as common enemies of the witches and warlocks, Atelia confesses to the public that before her rise to power, she secretly had a human husband and therefore a half-breed child against the law of the witches. If not for Arusu's intervention, she would have been killed by the angry mob as a wrongful leader. The finale, however, sees her returning to her former position apparently without facing the stigma of interspecies marriage any more.
- Establishing Character Moment: When the Grand Master of Witches orders her subjects to recapture the fairies that Arusu released back to the wild, Atelia comes up with an alternate solution, suggesting to her and the other sages that they should let a team of combat-oriented witches do the job while keeping the civilians Locked Out of the Loop about the emergency in order to avoid unrest and confusion. She does this while maintaining her dignity, cementing her status as a stoic authority figure willing to do anything to protect the peace among her people with some morally ambiguous methods.
- Everyone Loves Blondes: She has glossy, long, blonde hair. Before the birth of Arusu, Jidan fell in love with and married her, having a son named Lennon together.
- Expository Hairstyle Change: When she fought the warlocks in Wizard Kingdom alongside the wizards to bring the Grand Master of Witches back the True Book of Spells, Atelia tied the lowest part of her long blonde hair using a pink hairband with black trim.

- Flowers of Femininity: Jidan decorated her hair with a rose that he made appear from his hand.
- Foreshadowing:
- She has a picture that portrays a couple holding a baby. It turns out that it portrays Atelia, Jidan, and their son, Lennon.

- Formal Characters Use Keigo: She has formal speech patterns to indicate her dignified status as one of the Three Sages, as well as her prim and proper personality. She lacks it more than 14 years before the series, but even then she's a mature and elegant young woman who never swears.

As a soldier, she wielded a yellow Magic Staff with a big pink feather in the head as a weapon while wearing a pink black-trimmed band at the end of her glossy long hair, a red gold-trimmed pair of cylindrical earrings, a minidress with pink on the inside, a black pair of forearm length gloves, and a black pair of Combat Stilettos.
- Good Hair, Evil Hair: She has flowing long hair. She is more of an Anti-Hero, though.
- Good Stepmother: Throughout the series, Atelia does everything she can as a leader to help Arusu, which is implied to be because the human girl's principles reminds her of her ex-husband. "Lennon's True Identity" reveals Arusu to be the product of his second marriage.

- Happily Married: She lived happily together with Jidan and their baby for a while.

She lived a happy life with them until she discovered the True Book of Spells and decided to give it back to the Grand Master of Witches. When her husband took their son and the book away in order to keep her magic and the book from being used for harm, she tried looking for her family in vain, realizing that she wanted to stay with them.
- Hot Witch: When she fought the warlocks in Wizard Kingdom alongside the wizards to bring the Grand Master of Witches back the True Book of Spells, she was a voluptuous Lady of Black Magic with glossy blonde hair, smooth fair skin, a beauty mark on the left side of her chin, a skin-tight, sleeveless minidress, and Grade B Zettai Ryouiki.

Fortunately, they reconcile after she sacrifices her reputation in exchange for his freedom with the encouragement of Arusu.

When she fought the warlocks in Wizard Kingdom alongside the wizards to bring the Grand Master of Witches back the True Book of Spells, she wore a skin-tight, sleeveless black minidress with pink on the inside and black knee-high heels to show off her bare shoulders, Impossible Hourglass Figure and long, shapely legs. She maintained an air of grace and reserve as she fought the warlocks using a yellow Magic Staff with a big pink feather in the head.
- Leitmotif: "Atelia", a sublime mixed choir.
- Long Hair Is Feminine: She has the longest hair of the entire cast.
- Magic Staff: When she fought the warlocks in Wizard Kingdom alongside the wizards to bring the Grand Master of Witches back the True Book of Spells, her weapon was a yellow staff with a big pink feather in the head and two red gems in the shaft.
- Mama Bear: Double Subverted. She refuses to save her captive son, Lennon, from the warlocks because The Chains of Commanding obligates her to protect the witches' tradition—even if it means she must give up her family she once had against the law of the witches. However, Arusu's "The Reason You Suck" Speech gives her courage; when Luca threatens to kill her family unless the boy gives the warlocks the True Book of Spells, she offers herself in the boy's place and prepares to Face Death with Dignity as the warlock urges the masses to punish her for treachery.
- Military Mage: During the raid on Wizard Kingdom to retrieve the True Book of Spells.
- Ms. Exposition:
- When Arusu asks her what the Grand Master of Witches did to Sheila and Eva, Atelia explains that the Grand Master of Witches has cast the Curse of Eternal Youth on them two as punishment for their failure to stop Arusu from releasing all the captive fairies back to the wild and that the young girls must recapture the fairies to remove the curse.

- Muggle–Mage Romance: Atelia (witch) fell in love with and married Jidan (human).
- My Greatest Failure: As she reveals to Arusu, she considers Jidan and Lennon her past mistake. She regrets giving up her family she had against the law of the witches. She once visited Wil in search of them 14 years ago, and when Sheila spies on her to find the traitor, she is crying upon a vague portrait of a couple and their baby.
- Nerves of Steel: She remains utterly composed when she finds out that Arusu has released all the captive fairies back to the wild, robbing the Witch Realm of its magical resources. Neither knowing The End of the World as We Know It or deciding to risk her own life by a Zero-Approval Gambit make her lose her calm.
- Parents in Distress: The warlocks capture her in her son's place as she tells them to. Arusu and Lennon try to rescue her by giving Grande the True Book of Spells as Arusu has promised with the warlocks.
- Parents Know Their Children: It's implied that she is able to recognize Lennon as her son in a crowd from afar even though they haven't seen each other for 14 years since his early childhood.
- Pet the Dog:
- Throughout the series, Atelia refuses to harm Arusu (at least directly) and sometimes helps her. When she finds out that Arusu is a human and has the True Book of Spells, she orders the special task force to prefer getting the book and not to harm the human girl. Later, when Arusu and her friends visit her after the True Book of Spells disappeared, she arranges for the human girl to live in the Witch Realm as an apprentice witch in an outfit from when the sage was one, rather than having her disposed of for her origins and the release of the captive fairies. When the witch police places Magical Girl Squad on the wanted list for treason, she orders her subjects to protect the three apprentice witches without harming them.

She also wore a black minidress with pink on the inside, and her weapon was a yellow Magic Staff with a big pink feather in the head.
- Proper Lady: She is beautiful, carries herself with grace, follows the customs and traditions of the witches, and is respected by most of her people. While she once loved and misses her family for 14 years, she refuses to save her captive son, Lennon, from the warlocks because The Chains of Commanding obligates her to protect the witches' tradition—even if it means she must give up the family she once had against the law of the witches. However, Arusu's "The Reason You Suck" Speech gives her courage; when Luca threatens to kill her family unless the boy gives the warlocks the True Book of Spells, she offers herself in the boy's place and prepares to Face Death with Dignity as the warlock urges the masses to punish her for having fallen in love with a human against the law of the witches.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: She arranges for Arusu to live as an apprentice witch, even though Arusu is a random human who unwittingly deprived the witches of their magical resources by releasing the fairies back to wild.
- Red and Black and Evil All Over: Inverted; despite wearing black and red, she's a Reasonable Authority Figure.
- Red Is Heroic: Downplayed. While red is one of Atelia's main color scheme, it's mainly black, but she still helps Arusu in her own way.
- Red Herring: Some fans speculated that she is Arusu's biological mother due to how they both have long red nails. She was the wife of Arusu's father, but she is not related to her at all.
- Retired Badass: She once fought the warlocks in Wizard Kingdom alongside the wizards to bring the Grand Master of Witches back the True Book of Spells. She retired early to live with her human husband and son, though that doesn't mean she's to be trifled with.
- Secret-Keeper: She tells Arusu and her friends to keep the knowledge of Arusu being human.
- Secret Relationship: Jidan and Atelia married for love in secret because the law of the witches forbade intermarriage to humans.

- Significant Wardrobe Shift: When she fought the warlocks in Wizard Kingdom alongside the wizards to bring the Grand Master of Witches back the True Book of Spells, she wore a pointed hat, a pink hair tie with black trim, red cylindrical earrings with gold trim, a black minidress with pink on the inside and black knee-high heels. When she started living with Jidan, she changed them to an all-encompassing black robe to signify her new life as a wife and a mother. As one of the Three Sages, she wears a triangular hat and a skin-tight dress under her heavy robe.
- Silk Hiding Steel: She is always elegant in her manners and appearance and greatly respects the traditions of the witches. As one of the Three Sages second only to the Grand Master of Witches, she is a powerful influence on her realm and is respected by her people. She is prepared to do anything it takes to protect the peace among her people in the face of emergency like the loss of the magical resources in the custody of the holding facility.

Against the tradition of the witches, she fell in love with and married him. They had a son named Lennon and lived happily in a small village isolated from the rest of the Magical Realm. However, everything changed when she decided to deliver the True Book of Spells back to the Grand Master of Witches because she thought it would keep the warlocks from using the book as the source of dark magic. Even though she wanted to live in her realm with them, he knew they cannot live together in the traditionalist society of her realm. When she cried in her sleep, he took the book and their baby away from her because he didn't want her to suffer more and her magic to be used for feuds. With the help of an old wizard named Wil, he traveled across the Interdimensional Sea to the Human Realm, where he gave his daughter, Arusu, the book so the people of the Magical Realm cannot find it. Although the family manage to reunite fourteen years later, he leaves the Magical Realm for his family in the Human Realm after surviving his Heroic Sacrifice for his ex-wife.

- When she scapegoats the warlocks for the Mystical Plague to which witches start falling, Arusu points out how it is meaningless for her people to be in conflict with the members of their kind even in the face of The End of the World as We Know It.
- When she refuses to save her captive son from the warlocks out of obligation to protect the witches' traditions, Arusu tells her that no one can protect magic without using it For Happiness and that a mother is supposed to protect her son no matter what.Eva: Lennon was taken away by the warlocks!
Arusu: Lennon?
Sheila: Atelia!
Atelia: I have made many sacrifices in my life and I chose the path of becoming a sage. Witches have protected their tradition for a very long time. I cannot break that tradition by saving my son!
Arusu: Who cares about tradition! Even if you try hard to protect the tradition of magic… If you don't try to protect the ones you love with magic… then there's no point in protecting tradition! Magic that you can use to protect your friends, family, and other important people… Isn't that what you'd really call protecting magic? Those who can't protect their loved ones… How could you protect magic if you don't even have the intention of making others happy! You want to protect Lennon even if you have to give up the fairies and the True Book of Spells. Isn't that what a mother is supposed to think? Do you understand? There's only one important thing in your life. If you let go of Lennon now, then you will definitely regret it, you know!
- Zero-Approval Gambit: When Luca sets humans up as common enemies of the witches and warlocks, Atelia reveals to the public that the human hostage held against her son was the man she married against the law of the witches.
