  • First daughter of Shuichiro Ayatsuki, older sister of Celica A. Mercury, human wife of Jubei, and mother of Kokonoe (and also adopted aunt of Ragna, Jin and Saya/Noel). Konoe A. Mercury is the ninth member of the Ten Sages and is one of the Legendary Six Heroes. She is without a doubt, one of the strongest magical users to ever ascend into the Pantheon. With having both unrivalled magical power and beauty to match, the Court of Gods had decided to ascend Nine into Pantheon with for these exact qualities.
  • The last thing Nine remembered before ascending was that she willingly allowed herself to die after being struck down by Ragna and used the last of her life/power to aid Ragna against Izanami. With this, she's a bit surprised to see not only is she still alive but that she's now a god.
    • She is, however, grateful for another chance at life, and has decided to dedicate her time in Pantheon to make amends to the others of her world, and hopefully make reunite with the rest of her family.
  • Ragna was the first to greet her. Happy that she was no longer an enemy, he and Rachel are working alongside her to improve her relationship with the other BlazBlue deities.
    • So far things have gone smoothly with the other ascended Six Heroes. Valkenhayn is glad that the two of them are no longer on the opposing sides, and for that he can finally thank her for saving him against Terumi as Phantom. Hakumen is grateful that she is no longer a threat or danger to the world and its Order, and is also silently supportive of her attempt to make amends.
  • Kokonoe didn't want to see her mother for quite some time holding herself up with "new projects" she had been working on until one day, which saw the witch meet with the young professor... to give her a gentle hug while shedding tears of sorrow.
  • As Nine is the creator of Ars Magus she very well respected in the Houses of Magic and Sorcery, Science and even Knowledge, for being able to understand how both work and for combining them together. She regularly visits the many residents of both to learn more, and to spend some quality time with her daughter.
    • A testament to how great Nine's magical abilities are, was when Merlin, both male and female came up to her and complimented her abilities and on the creation of the Nox Nyctores. Especially the Corpus Sepulcro: Requiem. A Nox capable or reshaping the entire multiverse.
    • While many evil technological gods (and some good ones) will say that science is superior they prefer to avoid conflict with Nine as she created a virus that completely trapped Takamagahara, an omniscient supercomputer that ruled over time and space.
  • Nine would like others to know that there is a reason for why she's called Nine instead of her actual birth name. One, she doesn't like it. Two, when becoming a member of the Ten Sages they are no longer who they were and are now one of the Ten Sages.
  • Naturally, she and Terumi completely despise one another. Terumi hates her for using him against his will like a puppet during the Dark War. Nine, in turn, hates him for manipulating her best friend's (Trinity) love for Kazuma, to set him free only to then kill her, banish Nine into the Boundary, later do the same with Hakumen (even if he got dragged in with him), and ultimately force her husband Jubei to abandon their only daughter Kokonoe. And then also killed her sister after escaping the Boundary, and later used HER as his own personal puppet. Not to mention either directly or indirectly cause every ounce of pain and misery in her world.
  • When questioned why she would willingly work with Relius Clover, she replied that she knew how he thinks. Because Relius was the leader of the Ten Sages she knew that if it can interest him, he'll willingly aid you no problem. This doesn't mean however that she enjoys working with him. In fact, she actually hates him. Not only in his involvement for everything wrong in her homeworld but also for being a despicable father.
    • It's actually because of her hatred for Abusive Parents that lead her to becoming enemies with Medusa, Ren Gyokuen, Ghetsis and Ragyo.
  • Madoka and her fellow magical girls weren't sure how to feel about the phantom. While they sympathized with her backstory, the girls understandably were hesitant to consider her not as an enemy, let alone something they could trust all except for one of them. That being Homura Akemi, the girl was more interesting to hear about her goals of remaking the world to where both her family and everyone else could be happy. She wonders if there is potential in working with Nine.
    • Nine on her part pities Homura and her former friends. Wishing for the best of them, and that everything will work out in the end.
  • Besides the other magical girls, Nine also pities Zeref. For his curse of immortality and everyone he ever cared for dying around him. Nine admits that she probably would have ended up the same if something happened to Celica, and she almost did.
  • Nine has a great amount of respect for both the likes of Bayonetta and Edward Elric. Bayonetta for being a powerful witch who can take down waves after waves of enemies, and make it look easy and beautiful. Edward for being a protective older brother, willing to go to hell and back for his younger brother Alphonse. As well as being a powerful and knowledgeable alchemist.
    • The meeting between them was an interesting one, Nine was simply travelling by he lonesome before she was attacked by a group of Angels from Paradiso, she fended them off easily but was assisted by Bayonetta herself. After the fight, they became more acquainted with one another and became allies. This new friendship later made her acquainted with Jeanne, Rodin and Father Balder.
    • Her meeting with Edward was... also interesting. Ed had heard on how she created the Nox Nyctores and wanted to give her a piece of his mind. But deciding to know more about what she could have done instead, he went to The Truth for answers. He was not prepared for what he was about to learn. There was no other way. The literal possibility didn't exist. There was no other reality where the Beast could have been defeated in a different manner. The sacrifice had to be made. When he confronted Nine about the subject, he apologized and for his mistake and for not fully understanding the situation. Nine said that it wasn't a problem, and asked if it would make him feel better that she was initially going to release the souls used after the war, but was stopped due to Terumi's betrayal. It did.
      • Although she'd never admit it, Nine is secretly jealous of how both Bayonetta and Edward were able to patch things up with their respective fathers. She initially tried to work things out with hers. But in the end, it only got worse than before. To this day she still hates him for building a weapon with the design of using her sister Celica as a living sacrifice.
  • By a chance meeting, Nine had encountered Ochaco Uraraka, a young hero in training, with the power over gravity. After a quick conversation, they soon took a liking to each other. Being a Gravity Master herself, Nine offered her help in improving her abilities and becoming a better hero. Their friendship grew after Nine learned that Ochaco plans to aid her family's financial problems by becoming a hero. This reminded Nine somewhat if her becoming one of the Six Heroes to ensure that her younger sister Celica wouldn't have to perform what would have been a Senseless Sacrifice to momentarily stop the Black Beast.
  • Has Clashed Fates with various other gods. This has led her to be introduced to Team RWBY (and by extension team JNPR) and various members of both SEES and the Investigation Team.
    • She quickly became friends with the young Hunters and Huntresses. Ruby being fascinated with the weapons she created. Nine playfully calls Weiss princess, but Weiss corrected her as "heiress". Nine and Yang get along with one another, after realizing that they're very similar, ironically Yang is more calm and less overprotective over her younger sister. Nine likes Blake for being calm, collective and some theorize that it also because she's a cat. No word on what they think of that as of yet.
      • Her friendship with Team RWBY lead to Cinder becoming an enemy. Nine on her part doesn't think much of her or her "power".
    • In regards to the Persona users, Nine has grown fawn of Aigis, and Yukiko specifically. Believing that her daughter would enjoy meeting them. The two sisters also expressed enjoyment in meeting her, not knowing that they already knew her as Kokonoe. She also sees great potential in Yukiko becoming a witch, Nine is even considering making her an apprentice.
    • It was there when Nine had met Carmine. While they didn't start too badly, they ultimately found themselves becoming enemies. At the end of their tag team, Nine soon realized that he was completely insane, an absolute ass and more importantly, he called her old.
  • Upon hearing how Jubei and Nine managed to give life to Kokonoe, the reactions were mixed from shock to joy, and some even wanted to see how these two could even have sex with each other.
  • Still very much missing the rest of her family, Nine set out to find a way to bring them in to Pantheon. Hoping that dog this, they can finally live the happy peaceful life that they were denied.
    • Nine was successful in ascending her younger sister Celica for having No Sense of Direction. The reuinion was heartfelt, and now she only needs to find a spot for her husband, Jubei.
  • Can also be found in Physical Attractiveness.
  • "What a shame, seems I've overestimated you."

    Zatanna Zatara 
Zatanna Zatara, Goddess of Wizards Disguised as Magicians (Zee, the Mistress of Magic, the Sorceress Supreme)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zatanna_vol_2_1_textless.jpg
  • Greater Goddess

  • Followers: August 7, Jacob Maskelyne
  • Allies:
  • Enemies:
  • Former Enemies: Draco Malfoy, Trixie Lulamoon
  • Conflicting Opinion: Homura Akemi
  • Complicated Relationship: John Constantine, Nabu/Doctor Fate
  • Rivals: Nine the Phantom, Barney Stinson (Largely one sided)
  • Opposes: Alfred Borden and Robert Angier
  • Out of the superheroes in the Pantheon, Zatanna Zatara is one of the most peculiar examples. Unlike most superheroes, people not only know her secret identity but also uses it for a profit. That hasn't stopped for from fighting crime or joining the Justice League. The magician was honored to be among her peers and providing a legacy that matches that of her late father. Zatanna is especially notable for how her Superheroics are part of her day job in a sense. Specifically, her dayjob is that of a performative stage magician, while at night she works on combating crime and supernatural evil. Amongst her peers Zatanna is tromendously respected for her positive and hopeful nature, as well as her incredible power. Despite her rather simplistic style of casting magic, the title of Sorceress Supreme is one that Zatanna has more than earned under her own merit.
  • Zatanna ascended at a very important time. Shuma-Gorath made an attempt to conquer the Pantheon, and had even managed to incapacitate his greatest foe, Doctor Strange. However, Strange had one last trick up his sleeve. he had instructed Wanda Maximoff to summon the greatest Showwoman of them all to help battle the Demon. Zatanna promptly leapt into the battle alongside Wanda and together the two managed to drive off Shuma-Gorath and save Stephen. Zatanna was intially somewhat puzzled as to where she had ended up, but once she learned that other members of the Justice League were in the Pantheon, she accepted a position as the Goddess of Magicians who are Wizards. Because of their joint battle with Shuma-Gorath, and their general similarities, Zatanna and Wanda got along quite well ever since.
    • Before she ascended, Zatanna was being considered for the title God of Stage Magic. Before she could actually claim that title however, an upstager named Oscar Diggs snuck under her to claim it. That said, Zatanna took this in stride as she ascended shortly afterwards with a title even more appropriate for her life. Oscar initially seemed to view Zatanna as something of a rival, due to Zatanna's actual magic as opposed to his own slight of hand and trickery. However, Oz soon became impressed with her magical knowhow when Zatanna offered to teach him some of her magic, and the two grew to greatly enjoy each other's company, especially when Zatanna helped Oz fend off an attack from the Wicked Witch of the West. Zatanna also quite likes Oz for how he became a better person who used his own talent for Stage Magic to win without real magic, something Zatanna herself has done many times.
    • Barny Stinson views Zatanna as a major rival, thinking her combination of Stage Magic with real magic as cheating and he openly called Zatanna a hack as a result. However, he doesn't usually push his luck as he knows he has exactly zero chance of fighting against her. He especially became nervous at the prospect of straight up fighting her when she was moved up to Greater Goddess status. For her part, Zatanna barely even acknowledges Barny, as she is completely unthreatened by him, and responded to his claim that she was a hack that he was entitled to his own opinions, especially if they happen to be the wrong opinion. While she does disapprove of his tendencies to root for villains, she isn't too bothered by him, as there isn't much he can do aside from root for them.
  • Zatanna was naturally quite happy to see other heroes from The DCU, in the Pantheon. As one of the primary magic users within the Justice League, she helps to fulfil an important role of helping combat more mystical threats to the world. Naturally her allies from within the League and beyond were more than happy to welcome her back into their ranks, and look forwards to working with her again to combat the likes of Darkseid and his forces. The Teen Titans were also happy to see Zatanna ascend as they, in particular Raven, hope that her extremely powerful magic can be used to combat their demonic archenemy Trigon, assistance that Zatanna is more than happy to provide.
    • The one with the most history with her is John Constantine. The two have dated various times, with Zatanna wondering how she ended up roped up with him every time. Yet she does admit he has a style that is irresistible. Otherwise, the two team-up in many occult missions, most notably when they formed their own superhero team. While they have been known to but heads due to their differing ideas of how heroes should operate, especially in regards to their conduct involving magic, for the most part the two are on relatively good terms as of late due to Constantine working to better himself, and Zatanna learning to understand his methods more.
    • She is also good friends with psychic Madame Xanadu. The two have had a history of working together, with Xanadu having tremendous respect for Zatanna's usual moral integrity and magical apptitude. Of course things are complicated within their relationship by Zatanna's general closeness to Constantine because Xanadu hates his guts. Zatanna usually plays the role of mediator between the two and does a fairly good job of placating both magic users to at least tolerate each other's presence to work together to stop evil.
    • She has been familiar with the Swamp Thing since the days of working under her father. While Swamp Thing has had a rather... tumultuous relationship with Humans in the past, he has nothing but respect for Zatanna due to her efforts to combat supernatural forces which would violate the sanctity of the Green. While Zatanna doesn't agree with Swamp Thing's negative view of Humanity, she is still more than happy to accept his help in fighting the demonic threats that Zatanna has been working against as of late. This culminated with their teamwork in Justice League Dark, in particular involving a truly spectacular demonstration of Zatanna's magical aptitude when she was able to channel Swamp Thing's life giving power into the destructive Reality Warper Prolya to basically restart the universe that Prolya had just destroyed, using her own energy against her.
    • She is a part of Batman's long list of lovers. Having known each other from childhood, the two are usually on good terms with each other. The Dark Knight tends to turn to her whenever magic is involved in his cases. The one time when they had a falling out was in one case when she decided to wipe Dr. Light's memories. When Batman refused to go through with it, she wiped his mind too. This extended to other members of the villain world, Catwoman among them. This caused a bunch of problems down the road that ended with Batman dismissing her. While the two heroes made up, Catwoman has yet to forgive her for the Mind Rape. This rivalry is further complicated with Selina's own feeling for Bruce. Zee was forced to place a restraining order on Catwoman to prevent further beatings. She does hope that the two can resolve their differences one day, especially given how Zatanna has come to deeply regret her actions in wiping the minds of both Light and Selina.
    • As a fellow fan of fishnets, she has a natural bond with Black Canary. The two make a good fit; Canary works great up close while Zee can wreck havoc from afar. Some villains joke that the two can be neutralized the same way by having them Bound and Gagged. Zatanna countered that she has ways around it; she's a skilled escape artist. Even then, she has a red belt in Martian Karate and has shown ways to use her magic without her mouth. Canary is quite grateful for this extra assistance, and is more than happy to pitch in if Zatanna needs help dealing with an especially dangerous enemy of Justice League Dark.
    • She has a strange relationship with Doctor Fate. She's worked with him before, and even been tutored by him in magic as his assistant in one universe, but since one version of him took her father as a host, she's been wary of him, despite Kent Nelson taking the role and the fact that her father is deceased. She also has notable disdain for Nabu in particular given the deities very questionable morals in pursuit of order. While she is willing to join forces with Kent Nelson specifically against dangerous magical foes, she still doesn't fully trust him.
  • Zatanna sees herself as the DC representative of magical superheroes. This has put her in the company of Doctor Strange. While Strange is flustered by her presence, their relationship is mainly platonic. She also befriended Illyana Rasputin, assisting her in a plan to ascend the young witch Kat by bringing a forbidden spell can to her world which would take her to the Pantheon. The two ladies came to an agreement to each be Kat's teacher for half the year, with Strange occasionally stepping in when needed. This arrangement meets with Vergil and Dante Sparda's approval. The two fighters also appreciate Zee's role in fighting against especially powerful Demons and other Hellspawn, with Dante in particular reminding Zee of Constantine.
    • Another fellow practicioner of Stage Magic Zatanna found herself getting along with was Trucy Wright. Zatanna greatly respects Trucy filling the shoes of her adoptive father when he is unable to, something that Zee herself has done in the past numerous times, right up to replacing her father on the Justice League. Trucy is just as admiring of Zatanna due to her continual pursuit of stopping crime and other forms of villainy, even if she does it as something of a vigilante. Zatanna also has empathy for Trucy in regards to why she was adopted by Pheonix and while she greatly respects Trucy attempting to also keep her previous family's tradition going, she holds her biological father in contempt.
    • As a result of her closeness with Trucy, Zatanna eventually learned about Alfred Borden and Robert Angier. Needless to say, she has a far lower opinion of them than she does the Wright. When she learned of what the two had done to their clones she could only balk in horror and disgust, partly due to the sheer grotesqueness of them expending their clones on attempting to perfect stage magic, and just the overly brutal nature of their stage magic in general. The brothers both dislike Zee as they see her as a condescending hotshot who has no idea how good she has it, which Zatanna was naturally incensed by, as she has to deal with problems the brothers couldn't even conceive of. As a result, the magicians have gone to mutual radio silence.
    • When Doctor Light himself properly ascended, to say that he despised Zatanna for wiping his mind was a monumental understatement. Light promptly visciously attacked Zee in her own Temple hoping to violate her in response to her actions, though Zatanna booted him out of her Temple fairly easily. For her part, Zatanna is deeply ashamed of her actions in performing Light's brainwashing. While she took the actions with the best of intentions, the fallout from them, such as the mindwiping of Batman leading to the creation of the AI known as Brother Eye, and all of its crimes, was far too much to not outweigh said benevolent intentions. The Sorceress has started doing her best to try and make amends for her actions, and told Light as such to his face before she kicked him out of her Temple.
  • While she can technically cast multiple forms of magic, her main focus is that of somatic black magic, making her a typical Lady of Black Magic. As such, she had allied herself with Jaina Proudmore, who looks up to Zatanna with almost the same reverence as she looks up to the former Guardian Aegwynn, due to Zatanna's own mastery of arcane arts. She also came to the blonde's aid when she went through some rough times in her world, offering her a great deal of empathy, and listing how she knows about the sort of pain that she is going through.
    • Another woman specializing in extremely destructive Magic that Zatanna found herself getting along with quite well was Hayate Yagami. While Hayate very much struggles in controlling her very powerful Magic, Zatanna was still impressed with the raw power of the spells, and offered to take Hayate under her wing. The two have recently been seen practicing high level Magics in safe spaces, with Zatanna being greatly pleased with Hayate's progress, though Hayate still insists that she has a very long way to go before she can truly stand alongside Zatanna in skill.
    • Through both Jaina, and Hayate, Zatanna learned of another fellow sorceress who espoused kindness and empathy as much as possible, in addition to sharing her living of combating dark forces, namely the Keyblade Master Aqua. Aqua was very grateful for Zatanna's companionship as the two obliterate swarms of Heartless together. When Zatanna learned of how Aqua's devotion to the Light ended up accidentally pushing her friends Terra and Ventus away, the Sorceress was quick to offer her sympathies, noting how if Zatanna was able to begin mending bridges with Batman after mindwiping him, then there is no way Aqua can't repair her friendship with Terra and Ventus, and has been encouraging her to go up to them and admit her regrets.
  • While Zatanna has always been diametrically opposed to villainous sorcerers in her own personal work, as well as her work with the Justice League, she suddenly found herself more than saturated for potential opponents to test her magical aptitude upon. Shang Tsun is extremely high on that list due to the sorcerers utterly monstrous actions and barbaric uses of magic making a mockery of magic users everywhere. The two engaged in a furious magical duel that ended with a few mountains being converted into craters and no clear winner. Due to his failure to best her, even with the power he took from Kronika, Shang Tsun now sees Zatanna as being just as much of a danger to him as his nemesis Liu Kang.
    • Shinnok is also high on her list of hated enemies. The Elder God's attempted takeover of the mortal world was hauntingly familiar to Zatanna, especially with her continued opposition to forces such as Apokolips as well as the legions of hell that threaten her Earth on a daily basis. For his part, Shinnok sees the sorceress supreme as being the epitome of a Worthy Opponent due to her mastery of mystical powers. He also enjoyed the humiliating stalemate she inflected upon Shang Tsun, and has vowed to Zatanna that when he kills her, he will make her death fittingly glorious, something Zatanna has no interest in allowing to come true.
    • Zee despises Gul'Dan almost as much as she despises Shang Tsun. The Warlock's pact with the Burning Legion simply for the sake of his own power, including selling out the other Orcs to become puppets of Kil'Jaeden was naturally seen as utterly unforgivable by Zatanna. So infuriated was she by his actions, that she ambushed him with the intent of teaching him a lesson. While the Warlock's Fel Magic was most definitely no pushover for Zatanna, she ultimately prevailed, on account of her taking advantage of his usual physical frailty, ironically enough. Since then, Gul'Dan has vowed to personally destroy Zatanna right down to her soul with Fel Fire.
    • Maleficent is another hated foe of Zatanna's. The Evil Fairy was almost as green as her fire when she saw the kinds of Magics that Zatanna had at her command, and she vowed to hurt Zatanna in some way that others couldn't. Maleficent ultimately decided that the best way for her to do this would be to attempt to prevent Zatanna's father from ever entering the Pantheon, if only because it would be so effective at spiting her. Zatanna was furious upon learning of this, and demonstrated exactly what she thought of Maleficent's attempt to keep Giovanni Zatara separated from his daughter by leveling Maleficent's castle.
    • She took a softer method when it came to Draco Malfoy. Initially angry with what he has done, she felt a bit of pity of what he went through in life, especially where unlike Zatanna, his father figure was the utterly despicable Lucius Malfoy. After taking some of her own more dubios actions into account, Zee ultimately decided to take the young wizard under her wing in an attempt to steer him away from the hate espoused by Lucius's boss Lord Voldemort. Draco was initially reluctant as he saw her as an overly glorified muggle, but after Zatanna demonstrated her skill with magic, he eventually relented due to his own desire to be a better father than Lucius to his own son Scorpius.
  • Nine the Phantom employs many enemy magical supervillains that Zee has to fight against in her world. And yet Zatanna has yet to be able to pin her alignment. She understands the witch's desire to make amends with her daughter, but she could not condone her actions in doing so. That said, her stance on Nine has been softening as of late, due to Zee recognizing that Nine was doing what she thought would genuinely help, and also appreciates her attempts to be a better mother. Part of this has come with Zatanna growing to acknowledge some of her own more dubious moments, resulting in her developing a certain understanding for Nine's motives, if not Nine's methods.
    • One Witch whom she most defintiely does not have this sentiment towards would be Bernkastel. The Witch of Miracles earned Zatanna's burning hatred when she assisted Maleficent in trying to keep Zatara out of the Pantheon purely for her own amusement. For her part, Bernkastel actually feels genuinely threatened by Zee as she is more than capable of fighting at the Witch's level and then some. She has since devoted a great deal of her time to trying to find a way to stop Zatanna from being able to use Magic so she can kill her slowly and painfully.
    • Homura Akemi is another Mage with highly dubious methods whom Zatanna finds herself frequently at odds with. While she can certainly relate to wanting to go to extreme lengths to help a loved one, as Zee herself is still grieving over the death of her father, she feels that Homura's actions in stripping Madoka of her godhood simply so she could make Madoka "happy" when Madoka was already happy to just be able to see her friends get to live peaceful lives was far too much in Zatanna's eyes. While she freely admits she was in the wrong to mind wipe Doctor Light, Catwoman, and Batman, she will state that she was trying to stop a currently existing threat. Homura took away Madoka's Magic simply because she thought that Madoka wasn't "happy".
  • When she learned of the atrocities of Kefka Palazzo, she initially thought that he was nothing more than a reincarnation of the Joker. When she learned that wasn't the case... she still stood opposed to him and his monstrous goals, vowing that she would put a stop to someone giving such an atrocious name to circus performers, especially magicians. For his part, Kefka is genuinely threatened by Zatanna, as he saw how she fought evenly with Shang Tsun even when the latter had the power of Kronika's Crown, and as such is more than a little intimidated by the possibility that Zatanna could take down even his God form single handedly. Another Final Fantasy villain who loathes Zatanna is the Witch Ultimecia. Ultimecia was baffled why Zatanna, a woman with Magical Ancestry would still stand alongside normal Humans when normal Humans wiped out Witches in the past. Zatanna merely stated that they needed to move past old wounds and make changes for the better, before clamly rejecting Ultimecia's ideology of vengance.
  • She has taken note not to go anywhere near Lord Tirek unless absolutely neccesarry. While her magic is word-based, there is still the chance that he could absorb that talent from her, due to Zatanna being a descendant of the DCU's resident Mage Species. However, she doesn't intend to just allow Tirek to take her magic if he tries to come after her. She has been working with Swamp Thing to plan out a response to Tirek that Zatanna hopes will function in a similar manner to how she defeated Prolya, specifically by overwhelming Tirek with Swamp Thing's life giving powers from the inside when he attempts to take Zatanna's magic. For his part, Tirek is worried that if he attempted to drain someone as powerful as Zatanna that it could fail, or she would have so much magic, he wouldn't be able to fully drain her before she took him down.
    • Also among those in the My Little Pony universe, she had been bugged by Trixie Lulamoon to become a protege. Knowing that the pony only wanted to use that skill to overthrow Twilight Sparkle, Zee refused. It was only after Trixie had a bit of a change of heart that Zatanna reluctantly agreed to show her a couple tips. That said, after Trixie's change of heart, Zatanna finds herself enjoying her company a bit more and wonders if Trixie would be willing to accept a role as an assistant for her stage performances, even if Zatanna herself thinks that some of the magic needed to pull off the exact things she likes to do may be a bit beyond the Pony's capablilites.
    • While she was bonding with Trixie Lulamoon, she ended up being introduced to Trixie's good friend Starlight Glimmer. Zatanna and Starlight quickly hit it off well. Much like Zatanna's regret over her past mistake in the so called "Identity Crisis", Starlight Glimmer is deeply ashamed of her past actions in leading both a brainwashed cult of ponies, and her near destruction of the time stream to try and defeat Twilight Sparkle. While Zee was more than a little alarmed by the severity of Starlight's mistakes, she was nonetheless willing to look past them as Starlight was putting her utmost effort into proving that she was no longer the same pony who committed those crimes.
  • Thanks to her mastery of her stagecraft, many a traveling circus has sought to employ Zatanna's services as their foremost magician, something that Zatanna is more than happy to accept, with Zee quite liking the majority of circuses due to her personal closeness with the troupe. However, there is one exception: The Dead Moon Circus. Zee was utterly disgusted at the actions of their master Queen Nehelenia all because she didn't get to institute a hostile takeover of Queen Serenity's Kingdom. As a result of her loathing of the Dead Moon Circus, Zee quickly allied herself with the Sailor Guardians. The Guardians were more than happy to accept the aid of the Sorceress Supreme, especially as her general aesthetic mirrored that of their good friend Tuxedo Mask, on top of her absolutely massive Magical Power.
  • "Magic is easy like one... two... three!"

  • In their quest to defeat the remaining Demon Pillars, Chaldea Security Organization travelled to the Salem Singularity where the time period takes place during the Witch Trials. There, they met Abigail Williams and her mysterious friend Lavinia Whateley, who seem to have an odd connection of what’s going on in the Singularity. Strange happenings started happening around it such as the appearance of ghouls and the different deaths if Servants. The Demon Pillar of the Singularity, Raum, reveals that the entire Singularity is a ploy to make it’s creation, Abigail Williams, to connect with the host within her body. Embracing her full power because of Sanson’s death and wanting to destroy Salem and trying to destroy the world to help the people and find redemption for herself, she was then riddled with guilt after being stopped by Chaldea and travelled with the real Randolph Carter to find Lavinia and Sanson (whom she succeeded in recovering and is now in Chaldea again).
    • The Abigail that appeared in Chaldea is a completely different version from the Salem self, due to the circumstances of the Summoning System and because of that, Chaldea Abigail doesn’t have her memories in the Salem Singularity and never knew the sources of her powers. The Salem Abigail and the Master of Chaldea have met again in Chaldea Abigail’s dream. The Salem Abigail wanted the Master to come with her, but he couldn’t because of his duty, which causes an battle to occur between the two of them. After the battle ended, Salem Abigail apologized to the Master because of how their reunion leads up to and decides to leave to meet Lavinia again, with the Master promising that they’ll meet again someday.
  • The Master of Chaldea decided to bring along Abigail Williams with him after she demanded him to take her on a tour around the Pantheon. Fascinated by the place she is in, as she wanted to make new friends. She asked the Master if he could ascend her so she could gain free reign to travel around and meet new people. Although he’s at first hesitant, he decided to allow her request as he wants to make her happy and after recommending her to the Court of Gods, her ascension has finally commenced.
  • She is excited to meet up with her good friend Paul Bunyan again and have took little trips to eat pancake together. She shares a really odd friendship with Gilles de Rais as he is child serial killer, but Abigail seems to appreciate Gilles’s kindness and allows herself to have a friendship with him.
  • Being a good friend of King David and the Queen of Sheba, she is excited at the prosperity of meeting King Solomon. The creator of the magus system is happy to see of how he thinks of her fond memories with his father and wife and how she thinks highly of him. Despite his desire to help Abigail’s situation, he couldn’t return to Chaldea and offer them his help in need, but Abigail stated that it’s okay and that she has all the help she needed and is happy of where she is right now.
  • Due to being a vessel of a differently named Yog-Sothoth, all of the ascended Great Old Ones and Outer Gods become interested on possessing different humans to cause much more trouble for themselves. This greatly terrifies Abigail, as while she never understood the source of the problem as she is unaware of the power inside her, she knew that what they are planning to do is bad news.
  • Lovecraft himself would have been intrigued and even terrified of her due to being the destined vessel of one of his creations. However, if it wasn’t for the fact that she is a commoner and considering many of the antagonists in his works are people like them and such, his interest of her greatly diminished. This greatly offended the Master, who thinks that Lovecraft’s reason of doing so is extremely offensive and has told her to stay away from him.
  • As much as she loves tentacles, ZONE doesn’t want to create material that involves children and doesn’t want to create any artwork of Abigail to keep her safety. Abigail is greatly afraid of ZONE upon hearing about it and thinks that she is a weird adult.
  • Being the vessel of a powerful creature feared by many, Naruto and Gaara decided to see her to know about her control with the host. While Abigail understood there’s something wrong with her, she is unaware of the source of the power and thus, she couldn’t give the duo answers. That doesn’t stop them from becoming friends with her and are won by how adorable and kindhearted she can be. They also want to help her to have a complete control of her host, but since Abigail is unaware of the source of her powers and Outer Gods are out of their expertise, they couldn’t really help much.
  • Hearing that someone else was destined to become a vessel of a feared figure, Leah approached Abigail to see what was going on. The explanation she got from the Master of Chaldea caused her to pity the girl in front of her and how she couldn’t easily understand her power and because of that, she’s afraid of using it. She has taken it her pride to take care of Abigail and gave her the happiness that she could truly deserve as she doesn’t want the Chaldean version to end up like the Singularity version. Abigail is happy that she made an another friend and wants to give her something for taking care of her.
  • Robin also pitied her for the same reasons that Leah did, and as such, he decided to study the vessel within her based on what he had been given from Chaldea so that she could have complete control of her host and not give in to his influence. This made Abigail proud, even if she couldn’t understand why he did it, but she appreciates his efforts of wanting to help her nonetheless.
  • She has a teddy bear named Hugo that is always by her side, she even used him to attack her enemies, and her Salem counterpart gave an another teddy bear named Migo to her dear friend, Lavinia Whateley. Thus, when she saw Annie Hastur attacking her enemies with her teddy bear, she did the same thing and asked if they could switch teddy bears. Though she is shocked by Abigail’s request, she immediately compiled and Abigail cornered her every time they see each other so that they could play with each other. Even after learning the host within her body, that doesn’t stop Annie from befriending Abigail as she knew that she is nothing like him and the two have struck a close friendship.
  • Having encountered a lot of eldritch abominations in her lifetime, The Doctor wanted to help Abigail of her problem and having encountered Yog-Sothoth once, she was prepared for it. She is willing to help the Servant on how to control her host and tries to come up with all the answers for it. Both the Master of Chaldea and Abigail appreciate her help and allows her to continue her research, in hopes that Abigail won’t give in to the latter’s host’s control.
  • Having a connection with Yog-Sothoth through the Azure Grimoire, Ragna’s avatar encountered Abigail because of that. Knowing that she is nothing like her host due to being a vessel, he treated her nicely and doesn’t mind her company. Abigail is excited of gaining an another friend and despite how he acts around her friends, she doesn’t mind it.
  • Being the living Silver Key and a vessel of differently named Yog-Sothoth, Mugen Yogumura is surprised of her existence, but she also plays of being scared of her since sealing her powers is a temporal solution but she also plays being Willfully Weak to balance it all out. In fact, she’s excited to see a living Silver Key in the Pantheon and is willing to become good friends with Abby to help her problem. Despite being creeped out by Mugen’s laughter, Abigail wants to become friends with her and being the one person who could possibly be the one to solve it, she was happy for it.
  • Upon hearing that she is the vessel of a Lovecraftian deity, the South Park kids (particularly those who have superhero identities) immediately became wary of her due to their experiences with Cthulhu and Shub-Niggurath. Even with the knowledge that Abigail is nothing like her host and is pretty much a compassionate girl who doesn’t want to do harm, they fear the day that she will be completely controlled by her host and causing destruction and even some of them told the Master of Chaldea to eased Abigail if it ever happened.
  • Being an organization that watched numerous strange, but dangerous entities, the SCP Foundation decided to watch her in the hopes she wouldn’t lose control and wreck havoc around the universe. The Master of Chaldea tried their best to tell them that it’s their job and that they could have the necessary skills to help her, but they don’t believe his words and have secretly installed security cameras for the Foreigner.
This is, me as the Witch of Salem. Please, don’t be afraid of me, Master.

  • Rivals: Kasumi, Ayane
  • In the world of Final Fantasy VIII, there is a very special kind of witch race called Sorceresses, who are able to use magic naturally and are more powerful than Para-Magic. This is possible because Sorceresses posess power from their world deity named Hyne. A Sorceress's power can pass down to potential Sorceress when they are at the end of their lives, and the latest inheritor of that great power is Rinoa Heartilly, whose potential hasn't even been reached yet.
  • No one was more happier for Rinoa's ascension then the normally stoic Squall Leonhart. Or to be more specific, Rinoa descended down to Squall's welcoming arms like an angel. Lucina thought it was cute.
    • Now that the two are finally together, Rinoa has been doing her best in helping him mingle more around the Pantheon, to the amusement of others.
  • Seeing that she has much potential as a magic user, Steven Strange himself has become Rinoa's mentor in better handling her powers. So far Rinoa has gained the ability to grow a pair of white angel wings and fly. Not only that, her magic has increased to the point of functioning very differently than they were in her own world. Still, heavy use will leave her very exhausted afterward.
  • While Rinoa has been using her magic more, she still relies on her Blaster Edge and the use of her dog companion Angelo (who, for the record, is a female). She has been thinking of taking up the use of the Gunblade, but decided against that since it might take years to master it. Still, she might settle for a simple sword…
  • Once mistook Ragyo Kiryuin for an evil Sorceress after seeing her in this and in this. The last one making her remember that awful time when she was absorbed in Adel. She became sick when she found out what she was going to do to the Earth and what she did to her two daughters.
  • Many deities believe that Rinoa is Ultimecia. This is despite the fact that Ultimecia come from way in the future. Others will counter maybe she is immortal. And others will argue why would Rinoa want to destroy her friends in the first place. And then there are those who are convince Greiver is really Squall transformed into a Guardian Force. Many hours have been spent on this argument.
  • Became very close friends with Team RWBY. For Ruby and Yang, it's because they both own and love an awesome dog. For Blake, it's for their love of books. And Weiss, it's for both having family issues dealing with their fathers. She shared in their mourning of the passing of their creator.
  • While close with many ascended FF deities, she is special close towards Yuna and Tifa Lockhart after the three fought against Kasumi, Ayane, and Hitomi that one time. Also, many have noticed that she and Tifa kind of look like each other.
  • Loves to visit the House of Knowledge because of its large collection of books. Sometimes she spends hours reading before falling asleep in which Squall has to carry her home.
  • Found common grounds with Zelda because both have powers descended from their universe's Gods.
  • She also has a place in the Hall of Humanoids.

  • Neutral with: Tanya von Degurechaff
  • Unnerved by: Alice Margatroid
  • Conflicting Opinion: Her “violent” self
  • Elaina grew up with aspirations to be a magnificent witch, much like those in the stories she had read. And through perseverance and deep training, she has successfully become one of the youngest titled witches in her world's history. Nowadays, she spends the rest of her days as a traveler, off to see what awaits her in the many wide worlds she explores, whether it'd be other people, experiences, or landmarks.
  • Elaina's travelling had gone so far and so wide that she had covered quite a lot of ground in her homeworld, so she was naturally surprised to learn that she had entered uncharted territory one day. That territory was the Pantheon- in the middle of what looks like a renaissance of sorts, as new changes were being made to multiple parts of the vast dimension. One of those changes happened to be Arche Klein announcing her full departure from the Pantheon after having been in it for quite a while, and had started seeking replacements. When she spotted Elaina venturing around, she knew that she would make the perfect replacement, and despite the Ashen Witch's initial annoyance, the transferring had been done, and Elaina became the new Goddess of Cute Witches.
  • Being a traveler, of course, gave Elaina an affinity to the House of Travel, and therefore has amicable relationships with most in there.
    • Once had a romp with one of the House's main Wayfaring Quartet, Kino, that resulted in a very interesting moment for one of the witch's heralds, Saya. What exactly happened that landed these two with quite the bounties on their head will never really be known, however. The point is, the duo have become good friends since then, each finding each other's company rather refreshing after their respective journeys.
    • Elaina was introduced to Kiki shortly after her ascension by Arche, as the trio all shared the common denominator of flying with their brooms. Kiki was happy to find another fellow broom-riding flyer, and was made even more excited by all of the unique flying tricks the witch had learned, which were showcased a few minutes after their first introduction. Elaina herself seemed a bit fond of the delivery girl, but Elaina being Elaina, she chose to not really express that too much.
    • Fanfare in the Hall of Touring erupted when Elaina arrived there- quite a lot of gods had anticipated the day she would show up and ascend, and that day had finally come for them. Though her temple is actually in the Hall of Witches and Wizards, the gods in the Hall of Touring (even Prethoryn Scourge of all deities) helped pitch in to create a route from it to here, where a second version of her temple would end up. Elaina never let this kind gesture go, and gave a rather sincere thanks for the welcoming party.
  • Speaking of affinities with specific houses and halls, the Halls of Witches and Wizards and Magic Archetypes both seem to each hold a rather significant latch to Elaina, among other magic- and study-related deities.
    • If you weren't in the Hall of Magic Archetypes when Elaina met up with Marisa Kirisame for the first time, you were missing out on some good shit. It first started with some good-ol' greetings, which escalated to some fun banter between the duo, laughing about each other's experiences and fallacies. These bantering words became snarks and call-outs, slowly approaching a specific line that, if crossed, would turn this battle of wittiness into a full blown magic fight. And sure enough, a few more exchanges later, and Elaina had her wand while Marisa gripped her mini-Hakkero, as they both zoomed off on their brooms and engaged in a flashy and bright aerial dogfight for the ages. While Marisa once again proved her strength as an incident resolver and magic user, many who did witness the sight saw Elaina as an unnervingly fast learner, quickly adapting to the magician's style and even crafted her own Spell Cards on the fly. In the end, however, Elaina failed to match Marisa in sheer fucking firepower, and as a result, both vowed to hone their powers once more- so the witch can take down the magician should they fight again, and the magician to prove she's the most powerful broom-riding gal in the Pantheon. This had earned the budding witch applause by Patchouli Knowledge, a longstanding source of conflict for Marisa, and is eager to assist Elaina in new endeavors involving this building feud.
    • Megumin got along very well with Elaina when they met up, for having very similar styles in clothing and body figure (short, flat-chested individuals with very big hats and a cool cloak and/or robe). And similar to the aforementioned Marisa, Megumin has quite the quite the firepower. Elaina even once bought refreshments for Megumin and another fellow witch Roxy (who is Elaina’s High Priest) one day after the trio all met up together for a day of hanging out in the House of Food.
    • Akko and her witchy contemporaries were also very happy to learn that another witch had ascended into the Pantheon, as well. For Akko in particular, she was surprised to learn that Elaina’s upbringing was similar to her own, following in the footsteps of a famed figure in their respective worlds. Elaina is also a very studious user of magic similar to Diana, and shares the notion of being the youngest in their respective fields of witchery with Chariot.
    • Elaina is rather fluent in various languages, but mainly prefers to speak in Japanese and English. So imagine her surprise when she met Maple at the House of Food during lunch hour, and they happened to sound alike. Similarly, she happened to have the same tonal range as Diancie and can make her voice go low enough to match I-No, but she can’t understand why that’s the case.
    • The applications of magic in war is a rather strange subject for Elaina, as she grew up in a time where that is not the case. She specifically cites The Second Coming of the White Witch as one such incident from a recent interview where she thinks the way it was went about was...awful, to say the least. Many major proponents of the war definitely had something to say about Elaina's opinion, however; Izetta sympathized with Elaina the most, leading to a rather amicable friendship between the duo, which was later amplified when Princess Fine joining in. Sophie and Berkman, however, simply scoffed at the bold "accusations" that Elaina had made- the former seeks to make an example of the Ashen Witch due to their similar hairdo and that she was openly against the war, while the latter seemed to have added Elaina to his growing list of interests, mainly consisting of witches.
      • Another military-oriented magic user that had their attention caught by Elaina's words was Tanya von Degurechaff. Unlike Sophie & Berkman, however, she does seem to find some reasonability in the Ashen Witch's claim, but in the end brushes it off, saying that large conflicts with massive ramifications are inevitable in history at some point. This sentiment of neutrality, which is very rare coming from Tanya, was echoed by Elaina, so they seem to be actually rather fair with each other...for now.
  • Found herself annoyed the divine spirit Junko, after what seemed to be a very strange visit to a magic academy that she had previously studied at. Or at least, that’s what was believed, but given the actual story and what was derived from it (which felt rather nonsensical to this profile’s writer, especially because it’s in Japanese and it’s long as hell), it was generally assumed that Elaina just considered her quite the troublesome character. Cut to now, however, and Elaina finds herself a stark enemy of the spirit’s, due to seeing her for what she really is, and her alliance with Gigyas. She won’t hesitate to take off in the other direction when the embodiment of hatred is nearby, let alone anyone working with her.
  • Was once really pissed at getting her hair cut and stolen that she nearly considered the death penalty to the culprit, known as the Slasher, who also happened to be a dollmaker. This enmity towards this kind of act has her have some animosity with Freaky Fred, who is known for being a rather freaky barber. She’s not that angry towards the idea of dolls, but is more so a little unnerved- given that she tends to move along quickly whenever Alice Margatroid is around, or how she is very hesitant to not harm Alfred Drevis when she sees him, only being held back by her own moral code and the words her parents imparted to her at the start of her journey.
  • Twilight Sparkle was eager to meet with Elaina after the latter’s ascension, as they also share quite a few similarities. They have consistently travelled around their respective worlds while meeting new friends, are very studious when it comes to honing their magicial capabilities, and have learned many different lessons about life during both of those instances. They first met up post-ascension in Suzunaan’s Pantheon branch, and therefore resulted in Elaina having a good friend in Kosuzu Motoori, the shop’s owner.
  • Reports around the Pantheon began to spread about the existence of a second Elaina that also seemed to be exploring about, but this one seemed to be in mostly huge contrast to the Elaina that had already ascended. Turns out, this was indeed in fact, an actual Elaina who had come from a different timeline; the main dividing factor between her and the currently ascended Elaina was a series of events collectively known as “Retroactive Grief”. The new Elaina, who is short-haired, is one horribly traumitized by what she had experienced in those events.
    • What she experienced in the past has made her into a completely different person, as evidenced by her more aloof and cold personality. Therefore, the other Elaina finds solace in Homura Akemi, another young time travaler permanently torn apart by going back to the past to change history for the better, but ending up not working out. The original Elaina also feels very sorry for what Homura had to undergo for Madoka, but isn’t as symphatetic towards her for what she did after her rebellion.
  • For looking so innocent and cute, Elaina has a surprisingly strong crime streak. Granted, it’s mostly just scamming and fraud, but you’d be surpised at who raised eyebrows as a result of this information being known.
    • Madame Xanadu & Chimata Tenkyuu were very quick to criticize Elaina for her fraudulent crimes. In one country Elaina stayed at, she found herself short on funds, and to raise money, she set up a scam where she claimed to be the Voice Of God and offered fortune-telling services to the populace, who are kind of weird. Not only did Elaina come out of it richer, but she also made the situation of the country worse than when she first arrived. Xanadu was appalled at Elaina using fortune telling as her scam method, whilst Chimata is fuming that the witch had disrespected the rules of the economy, but these fell on the ashen witch’s deaf ears.
    • Despite being friends with Kosuzu, she is a bit displeased at Elaina for trying to sell faux literature one time. Granted, Elaina did get arrested, but that still didn’t sit right with both her and Twilight. Elaina has pledged to never do that thing again, so hopefully that should be fine enough.
    • Various criminals, especially members of the House of Crime and Transgressions, have voiced their opinions on Elaina. For instance, Omar Little isn’t too happy that she can just wily-nily get up and start scamming innocent people, but also respects her for being just as selfless at other times as she is selfish, and hopes she can drop the act. On the other hand, Faye Valentine is rather impressed at the Ashen Witch’s racketeering and the profits she has made as a result, though she is also a bit apprehensive about who she scams, because Elaina doesn’t really care who she’s scamming. A few others were also pointing out her relationship with Saya, who happens to work a bit of law enforcement; alongside with cutting her hair, telling her herald of her schemes will most likely send Elaina into a frenzy.

    Jeanne (Belladonna of Sadness
Jeanne, Goddess of Burned Witches
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/belladonnajeanne.png
  • Lesser Goddess
  • Symbol: The plant belladonna
  • Theme Song: "Kanashimi no Belladonna"
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
  • Portfolio: Raped by a baron on her wedding night, struck many a Deal with the Devil, becoming a Hot Witch and shameless about it, can use belladonna to cure any illness, ultimately burned for witchcraft
  • Domains: Women, Witchcraft, the Abused, Revenge, Rebellion
  • Allies: Akira Fudou/Devilman, Jeanne d'Arc, Norman Babcock and Agatha Prenderghast
  • Enemies: Roose Bolton, Claude Frollo, The Incubators, the various Satan / Lucifer figures
  • Interested in: Various Magical Girls, especially the Puella Magis
  • Sympathy from: Castlevania Dracula
  • In Medieval France, a peasant girl named Jeanne, newly married to Jean, was raped by an abusive baron when the couple failed to pay the exorbitant marriage fee. After that traumatic event, Jeanne started having visions of a spirit tempting her with power. Jeanne's fortunes increased thanks to her supernatural connections, which led to greater scrutiny from the baron as the villagers often went to her for help with various things. Eventually, the spirit revealed himself to be the Devil and empowered Jeanne with magical abilities. At this point, Jeanne's village was struck by the Bubonic plague and she won the villagers' favor with her remedies. The baron, feeling threatened by her power, offered to make her the second most important noble in the land to try to control her, but Jeanne refused, saying she wanted to conquer the world. The baron had her captured and burned at the stake, ending her life.
  • Although her time in the mortal world was finished, Jeanne wound up saved from oblivion by the Devilman Akira Fudou, who felt grief at her tragic life and carried her into the Pantheon himself. Jeanne initially thought he was the Devil himself, come to collect her soul after their dealings, but Akira vehemently insisted he was human and his demon side was forcefully given to him by the Devil, thus making Akira and Jeanne not too dissimilar by his estimation. Another reason for Akira's interest in Jeanne, which she didn't learn until later, is that his love interest Miki was accused of being a witch due to her connection to him. Either way, Akira practically demanded that the Main House make Jeanne a goddess. While the higher gods are not ones to take orders from Akira, they did decide to ascend Jeanne after proper research and deliberation. Jeanne thought this was quite an ironic turn of events for someone such as herself.
  • Akira remains her staunchest ally in the Pantheon and he often goes to her for her belladonna remedies whenever he gets injured in battle. In return, few will actively mess with Jeanne for fear of Devilman's vengeance falling upon them. Akira often finds himself flustered with Jeanne's penchant for going around completely naked, with the sorceress being fond of teasing him, much to his frustration as he is not blind to such obvious fanservice, but he really wants to be faithful to Miki. Jeanne has mused to herself that she wouldn't mind replacing Miki in his eyes, although she is wise enough not to voice those thoughts out loud or act on them.
  • It's evident from her story that Jeanne has plenty of good reason not to be fond of the aristocracy, what with their potential for abuse that she experienced first-hand. One in particular that she likes to make life a living hell for is Roose Bolton due to his casual admissions of having raped peasant girls and calling it his "rights". Given that's exactly what happened to Jeanne, one can understand why she takes issue with his presence, even being specifically deified for that crime. Roose himself seems to spare few thoughts for Jeanne and considers her as little more than an animal who's gone out of control and thus needs to be slaughtered.
  • Although it's thanks to her deal with the Devil that Jeanne has her magical powers, she does not appear to be particularly grateful to him and resents most of the Devil figures in the Pantheon for her fate. She seems to reserve a special dislike for SMT!Lucifer, believing he cloaks his true intentions behind his veneer of pleasantness; she even theorizes that he was the one she interacted with in her world. With that said, Lucifer is decidedly not hostile to her and is happy that she not only did whatever she pleased, flying in the face of the authorities in her world, but also managed to instigate the French Revolution through her death.
  • Jeanne also claims that, though the Devil had her body, her soul still belongs to God. This has not translated into any of the God figures in the Pantheon attempting to contact her as of yet, likely because she still made deals with the Devil despite her claims of devotion. However, there is the arguably-next best thing: the Saint Jeanne d'Arc, who feels great compassion for the sorceress' fate, the pyre having been d'Arc's own demise under similar (false) charges of witchcraft. It has not escaped either of their notices that they share the same name besides. The sorceress was considerably surprised that a Saint like d'Arc has no problem with her activities and is seriously trying to reach out to her. This is probably because, as Jeanne soon learned, d'Arc has been often involved in something called the Holy Grail War, where mages tend to commit far worse things than Jeanne ever did. Either way, Jeanne appreciates how d'Arc is very humble for a Saint and the two have formed something of an Odd Friendship.
  • Jeanne d'Arc is like the proverbial exception that confirms the rule, as most other people of God in the Pantheon don't have such a merciful view of an unholy witch like Jeanne. Judge Claude Frollo seems especially fixated in making Jeanne burn at the stake once more and see if that will purify her once and for all. Knowing him, and knowing how voluptuous Jeanne is, Frollo probably is also lusting after the sorceress in his own sickening and twisted way. Frollo's contradictory relationship to sexual matters is Actually Pretty Funny to the very liberated Jeanne, who can't seem to get enough of trolling Frollo in that regard (though she decidedly has no interest in sating Frollo's thirst).
  • As far as other witches who met a grisly end go, Jeanne finds herself growing protective of Agatha Prenderghast, a girl born with the ability to see ghosts who was ostracized for her gift and hanged at the age of 12. It also extends to her co-deity Norman Babcock to a lesser extent (given he lives in a more tolerant time). Jeanne feels revolted knowing that people's fear of witchcraft could extend to harming such young children. Agatha and Norman return Jeanne's interest as they realize their similarities to her, though Norman (and some other deities) can't help but half-jokingly wonder if it's inappropriate for minors like them to hang around someone like Jeanne.
  • On the other hand, the Pantheon is just chock-full of young girls gifted with magical powers and who use their abilities to fight evil. Jeanne learned these were more commonly called Magical Girls than witches. She is certainly interested in studying where the line between the two concepts is drawn. In the meanwhile, she has heard of a particularly unfortunate group of Magical Girls known as the Puella Magis, who have the caveat that abusing their power leads to them being corrupted into monstrous abominations called Witches. Jeanne traced the origins of the Puella Magis to little alien creatures called Incubators, whose disarmingly cute looks belie their penchant for manipulating girls into becoming Puella Magis while concealing the dire consequences from them. With that in mind, the Incubators are, of course, disgusting to Jeanne, who doesn't have a problem with frustrating their plans every step of their way.
  • One of the Count Draculas in the Pantheon became the evil monster he is due to losing his wife in a very similar way to how Jeanne died; she administered a cure for villagers afflicted with the plague, got accused of witchcraft for it and was burned at the stake. For that reason, this Count Dracula, though usually black-hearted, appears to have a soft spot for the witch who reminds him so much of his wife. Jeanne does in return feel for his sad story, although her allegiance to Devilman stops pursuing a true alliance with the evil vampire.

  • Domain: Magic, Family, Love, Personality, Profession
  • Heralds: Harvey Kinkle (her boyfriend), Hilda and Zelda Spellman (her aunts).
  • Allies: Her cat Salem Saberhagen, Frank West, Lois Lane, Jade, Sonic, Kiki, Coraline Jones, Chihiro Ogino, Don Draper
  • Enemies: LIBBY CHESSLER, CTHULHU, any evil deities in the Magic house, HP Lovecraft, Cheryl Blossom, Arthas Menethil
  • Conflicting Opinion: Archie Andrews, Veronica Lodge, Betty Cooper (mostly from their side)
  • Opposed by: Lee Everett and Clementine (mostly from their side)
  • Pitited by: Tallahassee, Jaina Proudmore
  • People wonder how her position works, as they point out that Salem also has a temple of his own while he is by default required to be on her side most of the time. She solves this problem by taking Salem's lesser known comicbook version to her temple while let the live-action version to manage his own temple.
  • Asked for help from the House of Health and Disease to figure out what mitosis is.
  • Tries to stay away from Libby Chessler as far as possible after their ascension. However, this proves to be futile as Libby actively seeks out Sabrina to torment her. Although Libby is confused about Sabrina position, she still taunting Sabrina anyway because of the effect from the Status Quo (and just because).
  • Strikes up a friendship with Inuyasha due to their experience of being discriminate because of being a Half-Human Hybrid. She wished him the best and hopes for Kagome's effort to rescue him.
  • Became friends with fellow journalists in the Pantheon like Lois Lane, Jade, April O'Neil and Frank West over their love for journalism. However, they expressed that they think it might effect journalistic integrity given the fact that Sabrina is a witch. She responds by saying that she will only reports news from the magic world and let them handle the rest.
  • Her life has been... interesting after the discovery of an alternative universe in which she unwittingly triggered a Zombie Apocalypse and was sent to Purgatory by her own aunts due to her recklessness.
    • Sabrina's initial action after this discovery is to plunges into a deep depression and hides alone in her temple for days because of how much tragedy her action cost. It took a pep talk from Salem and a visit from her aunts for her show her face out of the outside world.
      • During her crisis, she was visited by Arthas Menethil who tried to convince Sabrina to embrace her dark side like he did in order to develop this power further while also suggests that his faction always welcomes a good necromancy-related magic user with open arms and maybe a new Lich King / Queen... only for her to throws his words back to his face by saying that she would never work for the forces of darkness and points out that at her worst, this version of her only turned to necromancy out of a well-meaning action to resurrect her friend Jughead's dog. Arthas's action drew Sabrina and Jaina closer together as the latter cannot believe that he would stoop so low to exploit a teenager at her weakest moment.
    • Her action from this timeline caused her former friends Archie, Betty and Veronica to become wary of her after her ascension while Cheryl Blossom outright declares her to be an enemy. While Cheryl's official reason if that she is upset because she was forced to flee Riverdale because of Sabrina and, unlike the rest of her friends, she doesn't really know enough about Sabrina as a person to sympathize with her, most deities think it is because she is rightfully Squicked out because of her "relationship" with her twin brother Jason in this timeline, as well as his death (whatever the heck that caused it).
    • Her action also earned the ire of Lee Everett and Clementine as they had first hand knowledge of how harsh such apocalypse can affect a person. The only zombie-related person that support her is Tallahassee, and that mostly because she reminds him of Witchita and Little Rock from his world and feels pity for her because of the Heroic BSoD she went through.
    • After this discovery, she has been seeking help from the House of Magic to stop things like this from happen ever again.
    • Was horrified when she discovered that her action also cost the awakening of Cthulhu and she was forced to his bride. This caused her to be wary of ever come close to the vicinity of the House of Otherness. She also became wary of Lovecraft after encountering a doctor with the same last name at him in Purgatory.
  • Was NOT pleased when she heard a predator has ascended into the Pantheon. While somewhat relief that it is different from the one that killed her, Sabrina still doesn't take any chance.
  • Don Draper went after her for some reason, as he sees Sabrina as looking like his daughter Sally. They have since built a good relationship - after all, Sabrina has no father figure, and Don wants to make up for his old parenting mistakes.

  • Alignment: Chaotic Evil

  • The Pantheon was going about its usual day until an evil cackle and thunder struck in the Pantheon. From the smoke appeared the Wicked Witch of the West who wants to cause trouble in the Pantheon. When she finds herself to be outnumbered, she retreats before warning her enemies: "I'll get you my pretties, and all of you loved too!" and laughs before disappearing.
  • She once mistaken one of the versions of Brightwing as one of her flying monkey minions, only to find her eating one.
  • She has one weakness: water, which causes her to melt. She is trying to nullify her weakness as she found out that the Pantheon holds many adepts of water and sea creatures and could easily defeat her.
  • Many dog lovers and deified dogs were against her when she tells Dorothy that she'll get her along with her dog too.
  • She is deemed an enemy by every good witches in the Pantheon. The Wicked Witch considered them the "Good Witches" of the Pantheon and she is looking for other evil witches as the "Wicked Witch" of the Pantheon as the anti-thesis of the witches.
  • She took great notice to Elphaba, who claims to be the Wicked Witch of the West. It is hypothetical that she would be the Bad Future Version of her. She wants to make her "wicked" because she believes that it is destiny for her to fulfill her role as the Wicked Witch of the West and to be evil.
  • She is irritated by how many people are dressing up like her because she codified the concept of classic witches.
  • One of her miniature self has fought both the Batman and Gandalf.
  • The Critic once said how men were oblivious to sexual advances with women, with the Wicked Witch as the example. She tried to harass a guard, the Critic himself, and even Mark. Ironically, Mark was the one to notice and say this was sexual harassment and leaves, much to the confusion of the Witch.
  • She sometimes mistaken some red heels as the ruby slippers that were worn by her sister, the Wicked Witch of the East. She tried to take them from girls like Rei Hino and Jessica Rabbit. When warded away, she vow to retrieve them as only she knows how the slippers work, despite looking at the wrong thing.
  • She hates thing that are dropped down on people, considering that the Wicked Witch of the East was killed by Dorothy's falling house. It doesn't matter what is being dropped, just dropping them is what would anger her.
  • She remembers the time when she was defeated by Tom & Jerry, who apparently went to the Land of Oz.
  • There was once a nerd that dreamed of going to Oz and defeating the Witch. Though the dream had Optimus Prime in place of the Tinman.
