Enchantress is an ancient sorceress that's existed for hundreds of thousands of years. She was locked away in a totem in Peru for several millennia before June finally freed her accidentally. Finally freed after being sealed away for so long, she finally could achieve her life's goal of continuing to be a guardian of living things.
----
* AchillesHeel: She needs a compatible host in order to function. Without that, or [[spoiler: a proper containment vessel]], her powers grow out of control and destroy everything as her powers are uncontrollably released.
* ActionGirl: A sorceress who can wield elemental magic, use dual long daggers, teleport, etc. She's also a OneWomanArmy.
* AdaptationalHeroism: A GenericDoomsdayVillain in ''Film/SuicideSquad2016''. She's adapted into a three-dimensional heroine.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Hand in hand with AdaptationalHeroism above, Enchantress can be summed up as an immature AttentionWhore in her debut film. Here, she is a mature, wise, kind if a bit blunt and violent, woman.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: She can walk around independent of June's body for a limited time. Originally, she had to be invoked by June herself saying "Enchantress", but this feature remains in this work.
* AndIMustScream: She was sealed away in a totem for thousands of years. She was fully aware of various happenings in the world, but was nigh-helpless to stop any of it or interfere. All she could do was call out to various hosts over the years in the hopes that they'd find and free her.
* AntiHero: She's a decent person overall, but she takes great pleasure in killing her adversaries...very messily. And she ''will'' kill them unless reined in by June.
* BeatStillMyHeart: As in the original film with Enchantress.
* BeenThereShapedHistory: She taught early humans how to wield sorcery, and taught them to control fire. She also confesses that she brought the Time Stone to Earth as well, entrusting it to said sorcerers.
* BloodKnight: She thoroughly enjoys a good fight.
* BodySurf: A benevolent example. She inhabits various bodies throughout her existence, but they are not enslaved to her will. She treats them more like friends.
* ChekhovsSkill: PlayedForLaughs a little bit with Enchantress's aerokinetic powers when [[spoiler:Sokovia is flying high into the atmosphere above the clouds.]]
--> '''Katana''': ''"We must all be superhuman in some way to be breathing this thin air."''
--> '''Enchantress''': ''"Or you can just thank me for keeping a section of the lower atmosphere up here."''
* CombatPragmatist: Downplayed. Her sheer power means that she can afford not being pragmatic at times. However, she knows electronics are susceptible to electricity, fire is effective against living flesh, and metals will shatter when frozen, and thus use her powers accordingly.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Enchantress's voice is described as deep and booming.
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: The zenith of her powers are incredibly strong. The only problem is that they can't be concentrated or focused on an individual target. As a result, using her powers at their maximum level causes a lot of collateral damage in the process.
* DarkIsNotEvil: She retains her description in Suicide Squad, with the ashen appearance and all. But she's a heroine in this story. She also [[spoiler:gained immortality from the Dark Dimension, and isn't happy for it either]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Has a few moments, especially during her first introduction to June.
--> '''Enchantress''': ''"Go ahead [June], take the pill. I will still be here."''
* DestructiveSavior: {{Defied}}. If she's close to civilians, she borders on FightsLikeANormal. Magic is a bit less predictable and containable and more destructive than melee and simple telekinesis. More is discussed in DangerousForbiddenTechnique.
* DramaPreservingHandicap: For the first arc, it's via WorfHadTheFlu, as she and June weren't in sync with each other just yet. For the ''Age of Ultron'' arc, it's the fact that her most powerful abilities are [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique extremely unfocused and can cause a lot of collateral damage]].
* DualWielding: With two swords.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: A witch with a cloud of ash following her, ashen stains on her pale skin, black hair, and tribal tattoos. Everyone is unnerved with her appearance the first time they meet her.
* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler:She was sealed away by some of the very sorcerers she trained to wield magic. Also counts as UngratefulBastard]].
* FireIceLightning: Averted. Three of her central elemental powers are this trope, but she can also control Air. She does favor using the former three elements though.
* {{Foil}}: A minor example. Both Enchantress and June are intelligent and strong and seriously-minded women. The one trait that contrasts them is Enchantress's HotBlooded BloodKnight nature compared to June's more demure and cool-headed nature.
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Her natural appearance doesn't qualify. She can change her eyes' color and glow to soothe allies and make them feel slightly more comfortable about her.
* GoodIsNotSoft: She might be a benevolent sorceress who protects humanity, but if you hurt June or threaten innocent lives, you'll be lucky if she kills you quickly.
* GodzillaThreshold: She considers her most powerful forms of magic this trope, as they tend to cause severe collateral damage if she uses them.
* GreaterScopeParagon: To the heroic sorcerers of Earth. See BeenThereShapedHistory above.
* HumanoidAbomination: A heroic variant. She appears human, but with an ashen appearance, tribal tattoos, and glowing eyes (that she can change) that make her frightening to others. She isn't above using this trope to her advantage to intimidate enemies.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: An ancient sorceress drawing the powers of the elements and teleportation. Likes to attack especially with lightning magic.
* LadyOfWar: She's also a fully capable swordswoman, wielding dual swords in melee combat. When she doesn't want to risk collateral damage from BlackMagic, she uses her swords. She's not as graceful as Katana is, though.
* LightFeminineDarkFeminine: The Dark to June's Light, both literally and figuratively. June's magic is milky white in theme, and her general and battle outfits are conservatively feminine. Enchantress has a theme of ashen black colors, and her outfit is equally feminine but skimpy.
* {{Lunacy}}: Aside from her host's last name, Enchantress has an outfit that exudes lunar themes, especially the crescent moon on her head. Her appearance exudes darkness, and her non-elemental magic manifests as darkness-themed.
* MagicKnight: Likes wielding dual blades along with her magic.
* MasterSwordswoman: Loves to wield her swords along with her magical abilities.
* MayflyDecemberFriendship: Her immortality does not pass on to her hosts. She expresses deep sorrow over her last host before June found her.
* TheNeedsOfTheMany: She firmly believes in this philosophy. During a conversation with Steve, she uses the nuclear bombings of Japan as an example.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Not to her fellow heroes. But her being a HumanoidAbomination means that she unnerves everyone who sees her for the first time. [[MookHorrorShow She's especially frightening to enemies]].
* NotSoAboveItAll: In Chapter 12, Enchantress displays that she isn't above being a showman and giving a good intimidating performance for personal fun.
* PaintingTheMedium: Her speech is indicated with italicized writing.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Definitely is one, as she can [[spoiler:inadvertently cause a world-ending storm]]. She prefers to avoid being this, though.
* PhysicalGod: She doesn't treat herself as such, but she was worshipped as one before.
* SadisticChoice: Hasn't made one in the duration of the story, but she fully acknowledges that these exist, and claims to have made many of them before, none of which she is proud of.
* SealedGoodInACan: She was sealed away [[spoiler:thousands of years ago by HYDRA, who have spent millennia watching over her]]. June frees her in the first chapter.
* {{Shapeshifting}}: She adopts the likeness and copies the body shape of her host while retaining her dark appearances. Any memory illusions that she projects will use her current likeness. As such, her original appearance is unknown.
* SuperpowerLottery: Naturally, as she is basically a god. SuperStrength, SuperToughness (very resistant to blunt force impacts even if they hit her), illusion projection, telekinesis, electrokinesis, pyrokinesis, aerokinesis, cryokinesis, teleportation, and more.
* SymbioticPossession: In stark contrast to the DemonicPossession in ''Film/SuicideSquad2016'', Enchantress and June are on relatively good terms with each other.
* TeleportSpam: Her most favored tactic, especially when using her swords. She also extensively uses it for training her allies to anticipate attacks outside of their range of vision.
* TimeAbyss: She's existed for hundreds of thousands of years.
* WorfHadTheFlu: Being recently adapted into June's body means that her magic is relatively weak from the outset. [[spoiler:She suffers numerous defeats against HYDRA early on as a result]].

* GreaterScopeParagon: To the heroic sorcerers of Earth. She was the one who originally trained them in wielding their capacity for magic and sorcery. [[spoiler:She also entrusted them with the Time Stone]].

* AntiHero: Mostly of the UnscrupulousHero kind. She's a decent person overall, but she takes great pleasure in killing her adversaries.
