These are not to be confused with ''other'' madams, as the latters are woman who run much... [[TheOldestProfession bawdier places]]. "Madame" is also a French honorary term to refer to women, similarly to the English "Mrs.". It might be encountered in English used this way, but it is not that common.

-> ''You shall know me as Madame Fate. I have foreseen your arrival within the all-seeing ball...''
-->-- '''Madame Fate''', ''VideoGame/MysteryCaseFiles''

For some obscure reasons, ''many'' [[FortuneTeller Fortune Tellers]] and assorted psychics are referred as "Madame [surname]" (sometimes without the "e"). The surname can be anything from the clairvoyant's first name, last name, or basically everything else. It seems to quite effectively add a mystique and foreign flair to any kind of name.

These are not to be confused with ''other'' madams, as the latters are woman who run much... [[TheOldestProfession bawdier places]]. "Madame" is also a French honorary term to refer to women, similarly to the English "Mrs.". It might be encountered in English used this way, but it is not that common.

* ''VideoGame/MysteryCaseFiles'' series:
** Madam Fleiss, in ''Prime Suspects''. She is a fraudulent clairvoyant who is among the suspects of the Queen's Hope Diamond heist. Her parlor is among the locations the Master Detective can search for hints throughout the game, and it is as cliche as one could expect.
** Madame Fate, in the ''VideoGame/MysteryCaseFiles'' series. One of the series most important characters, she made her debuts in ''Madame Fate'' where she foresees her own demise with her CrystalBall and asks the Master Detective to find the culprit before the crime occurs. She has been referenced in every single subsequent game, and very prominently in ''Fate's Carnival''.
* Madame Fawn, in ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}''. She lives in Agata Forest and can predict Amaterasu's future tasks and give her hints about what to do next.
