^^ But isn't that more commonly associated with the WickedWitch archetype? It probably evolved from the classical depiction of witches (as did several other witch tropes listed above), it's sort of its own thing nowadays.

[[AC:VideoGames]]
* [[VideoGame/RedEarth Tessa]] would seem to be a modern update of this trope (if not, she comes close). Her robes are white and a bit more festive and revealing than your traditional witch, not to mention that she uses a magic wand, but she has the trademark pointed hat (which appears to be alive in some depictions), owns four cats (two of which--Al and Ivan--actually aid her in battle), is often shown thumbing through what is presumably her spell book, and is seen riding on a broomstick during ''Pocket Fighter/Super Gem Fighter: Mini-Mix''. The only difference is that [[InsistentTerminology she refers to herself as a sorcerologist]], one who employs magic in her studies to discern the nature of the universe, and as such, Tessa's brand of witchcraft seems to be a mix of classical cauldron brewing and alchemy.
