** Becoming one of these is Luz's primary goal throughout the series. That said, the fictional idol that Luz envisions herself emulating in becoming a witch also features prominent MagicalGirl elements. [[spoiler:In "Thanks to Them", when she follows Belos back to the Boiling Isles, Luz is wearing an Azura Halloween costume, complete with a traditional witch hat. Her mother Camila even lampshades it by commenting " A good witch ''always'' has to have her hat." just before they return to the Boiling Isles together. And then the GrandFinale brings her even closer to the traditional witch appearance when she gets a SuperMode that replaces her Azura costume for [[DarkIsNotEvil a black one with a heavy skeletal motif]].]]

Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/TheBlueNosedWitch'': Blanche and the others witches are very much the classic style of witch, with black dresses and pointy hats who travel on {{Flying Broomstick}}s. Blanche even has a black cat, Brockett. The night of Halloween one of the events happening after the flight is the witches making a brew together. Meanwhile, the tall witch leading the group of trick-or-treaters is dressed like this. Blanche at first mistakes her for her best friend Josephine until she gets closer and sees that the mask is rubber--and the hair is stringy, when Josephine is so meticulous about her hair.

oops, misused that trope by mistake.


* ''WebComic/UnicornJelly'': Lupiko, the main character, is a solitary witch and a healer, living in a hut on the outskirts of her village. She has a (somewhat unconventional) broomstick which she doesn't use much because she is [[AcrophobicBird afraid of heights]]. Of course, things aren't quite what they seem in this world...

Alternatively, they may appear [[NudeNatureDance naked]] (or "skyclad"). This is not (always) an artistic convention to allow depiction of nudity but has been found in religious traditions going back to Jainism (where the term skyclad came from) and Creator/{{Hesiod}}'s ''Literature/WorksAndDays''; however, the association of witchcraft with ''ritual'' nudity, as opposed to, say, just [[SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains a lack of inhibitions]], only goes back to [[NewerThanTheyThink the foundation of Gardnerian Wicca in the 1950s.]]

** Downplayed with Eda. She has the messy, thick, gray hair of the traditional elderly witch, thus fans [[VagueAge speculate she's sixty]], but she never wears a hat, her dress is a slightly modern interpretation, and she speaks [[TotallyRadical modern slang]]. Also her scepter combines the functions of spirit animal/pet, wand, and broom. The house, indoor and out, has the traditional architecture, decor, and location of the fairytale witch's cottage.
