8
9	[[folder:Cleo the Time Witch]]
10	->'''IGN:''' [=ZombieCleo=]\
11	'''Preferred name:''' Cleo
12	Cleo is the Time Witch. While little about her past is known, her main motivation for participating in the Witch Trials is to bring someone back from the dead [[spoiler:(or rather, ''un''dead)]].
13	----
14	* AccidentalMurder: In the final battle, [[spoiler:Cleo accidentally [[FriendOrFoe takes Lauren out]].]]
15	* AlternateSelf: Being a Witch with power over time and space, Cleo has access to the memories of all of her alternate selves, [[spoiler:including her counterparts in ''WebVideo/{{Hermitcraft}}'' and the ''WebVideo/LimitedLifeSMP''.]]
16	* CurbStompBattle: Using her explosion-inducing trinkets, Cleo's boss battle against the Void Blossom is over in about thirty seconds, with her taking negligible amounts of damage overall.
17	* DePower: [[spoiler:Cleo loses her TimeMaster powers in the ritual that made her human again, as she spends the series as a fragment of herself with all of her alternative selves in her mind.]]
18	* DeadpanSnarker: Cleo occasionally adds snarky commentary [[FunWithSubtitles in text form]] in her episodes in reaction to certain events, such as Pris attempting to reconcile with her:
19	-->'''Cleo:''' Your [[spoiler:dead sister]]…\
20	Who [[spoiler:possessed you]]…\
21	And [[spoiler:stabbed me]]…\
22	Is [[spoiler:in HEAVEN]] now?
23	* GoodWithNumbers: TimeMaster powers aside, Cleo's preferred style of magic is through the highly mathematical Hex Casting mod and their geometrical imbuing of crystals. She's the only known person to practise this style of magic other than El, whom she taught the style to.
24	* RidiculouslyAliveUndead: While she ''is'' '''Zombie'''Cleo, she's functionally still a player and doesn't burn in the daylight, and needs food to survive like everyone else. She also, unlike most other zombies, retains her full consciousness and personality. [[spoiler:Scott uses a ritual to restore her to humanity at the end of the series.]]
25	* StuffBlowingUp: Cleo's preferred weapons are an array of amethyst-based trinkets from the Hex Casting mod, which cast explosions on the target.
26	[[/folder]]
27
28	[[folder:El the Illusionary Witch]]
29	->'''IGN:''' soupforeloise\
30	'''Preferred name:''' El/Eloise
31
32	El is the Illusionary Witch. After a rough and lonely childhood, her main motivation for participating in the Witch Trials is to find a sense of belonging.
33	----
34	* AccidentalMisnaming: El's trader is named 'Ellery', but El repeatedly refers to them as "Celery".
35	* {{Animorphism}}: This is one of El's preferred magical abilities, shapeshifting into a Phantom and a Wither in the final battle.
36	* BigYes: El lets several of these out upon obtaining a ghast tear for her to craft her broom in her 2nd episode, since it has taken her a ''long'' time to get it.
37	* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Just prior to entering the final battle, El wonders if her desire for a sense of belonging can ''actually'' be fulfilled if she becomes Supreme Witch, when she's been making friends with most of the server along the way. [[spoiler:Ultimately, she finds her place in her friendships and passion rather than power.]]
38	* MostWritersAreWriters: Like her content creator counterpart, El documents her experiences in the competition to become Supreme Witch in the form of videos which she shares with others. [[spoiler:In the epilogue, she finds her calling in content creation, and uses her illusion magic to manipulate the algorithm and make herself world-famous.]]
39	* MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels: While attempting to earn the friendship of a raven in her 1st episode, El caws at it, only for it to fly away every time. El surmises that she must have said something wrong.
40	* OrphansOrdeal: Implied. El mentions being bounced between homes a lot and not having many friends growing up, suggesting she experienced some form of ParentalAbandonment early in life. The resultant [[IJustWantToHaveFriends desire for a sense of belonging]] serves as her main motivation for competing in the Witch Trials.
41	* {{Tuckerization}}: El's Courier Bird mount is named 'Bekyamon', after a friend and fellow content creator.
42	[[/folder]]
43
44	[[folder:Joey the [=FireFrost=] Witch]]
45	->'''IGN:''' JOEYGRACEFFA\
46	'''Preferred name:''' Joey
47
48	Joey is the [=FireFrost=] Witch. After being thrown out of his community for his ability to wield fire magic, his main motivation for competing in the Witch Trials is to prove his own worth to his former community.
49	----
50	* DualityMotif: Joey's outfit is split between an OrangeBlueContrast, reflecting his dual power sets.
51	* TheExile: Hailing from a community of Frost Mages, Joey gets thrown out the instant he develops his first magical ability because of [[PlayingWithFire the nature of the power in question]]. It is while wandering the snowy lands where the Witch Trial invitation reaches him.
52	* LaserGuidedKarma: At one point, after Lauren dies in their first dungeon, Joey tries to get ahead and leave her behind. Soon after, when he throws an Ender Pearl to a higher level, he misses and falls to his death, forcing the two to work together again. Of course, this [[SubvertedTrope doesn't stop him from]] shoving Lauren off the tower to be first in line to fight the Boss Battle, later down the line.
53	* NoYou: At the start of the final battle, Joey and Lauren stay behind to scavenge the rest of the Cornucopia. While Joey seemingly attempts to reconcile their former friendship, Lauren calls him "the worst person" for having betrayed her in the first place, to which Joey responds with what he admits is a lame comeback:
54	-->'''Joey:''' I'm the worst person? ''You're'' the worst person!
55	* ReincarnateInAnotherWorld: Briefly mentioned as a MythologyGag; Joey makes an offhand comment in his 3rd episode that he was a pirate [[WebVideo/EmpiresSMP in a previous life]]. While the connection is not outright stated; he also raids a Piglin town in the Nether one episode later, boasting to know about its layout because [[WebVideo/AfterlifeSMP Shulk had been to one of these]]. It's later played with, as Shelby's continuity states that [[spoiler:Empires Season 2 takes place about a decade prior to the events of the WCSMP, in the same universe, so the timeline is a bit inconsistent with this]].
56	* StartingANewLife: [[spoiler:After the Witch Trials, Joey has grown comfortable with his elemental duality and chooses not to return to where he once called home since they threw him out in the first place. He initially plans to run off with Tiff to live in the woods as friends, then [[AndTheAdventureContinues follows her into Alfheim]].]]
57	* TrickArrow: Arrows fired from the Heat Bow which Joey obtains from his first dungeon create a small, fiery explosion at the target.
58	* UnsatisfiableCustomer: During his and Shelby's visit to Bertha's Resort, Joey acts much like an entitled vlogger-influencer, demanding to be treated like a spoiled VIP and threatening to give bad reviews for not receiving the service he wanted.

61	[[folder:Lauren the Sand Witch]]
62	->'''IGN:''' laurenzside\
63	'''Preferred name:''' Lauren
64
65	Lauren is the Sand Witch. After suddenly developing magical abilities, she is invited to participate in the Witch Trials; she JumpedAtTheCall to prove herself as someone not to be underestimated, but doesn't take the competition very seriously, instead focusing on making friends with her fellow Witches.
66	----
67	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: PlayedForLaughs. In her backstory, Lauren wishes to become a Sand Witch. While she ''is'' granted SandBlaster abilities at the start of the story, she also turns into a literal [=PB&J=] ''sandwich''. She later admits she should have been more specific about her request to the universe.
68	* CargoShip: In-universe; Lauren deems the golden half-deer, half-man statue that delivered her the instructions for her first dungeon to be her boyfriend and names him 'Steve'.
69	* EtTuBrute: In spite of initial promises of trust and loyalty, Lauren still gets shoved off a tower by her FirstFriend during their first dungeon against each other. She is, quite understandably, bitter about this. Joey claims to her that friends treat each other like this, but Pris points out to her that this sort of behaviour is extremely manipulative.
70	* FashionableAsymmetry: Lauren's socks and even hair and eyes are split between brown and purple to reflect the whole [=PB&J=] appearance. She still looks adorable.
71	* FriendlessBackground: Prior to the Witch Trials, Lauren lived in the desert alone and away from Witch society as a whole due to having no magic of her own at the time. Even then, the reason she lived in the desert was because no Witch would settle there.
72	* JumpedAtTheCall: She's incredibly excited to participate in the Witch Trials, if only because her dream of becoming a SandBlaster has come true.
73	* LovableCoward: In the finale, Lauren [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere runs away]] from [[spoiler:the Null Sorcerer while everyone else stays to fight it]], thinking that there is no way she's going to be able to attack it.
74	* {{Not}}: Lauren is quite understandably bitter that her FirstFriend would throw her under the bus to fight in the Boss Battle of their preliminary dungeon.[[note]]Bertha's set-up is that the first to the Waystone at the top of the dungeon wins; the fighter has three lives in the Boss Battle, and if they lose all three, their opponent takes their place in the fight.[[/note]]
75	-->'''Lauren:''' You're gonna do great.\
76	'''Joey:''' Thanks!\
77	'''Lauren:''' Not.
78	* RandomlyGifted: Lauren was born as a Witch without powers, and prayed for control over the sandy deserts she lived around. Then, all of a sudden, she receives the invitation to the Witch Trials and develops sand powers… but also takes on the appearance of a peanut butter and jelly [[VisualPun sandwich]].
79	* {{Squee}}: In her first days as a Witch, Lauren has a habit of squealing every time she does or finds something new as a Witch, like using her powers, fighting mobs, and casting spells.
80	* TrademarkFavouriteFood: Bread; she's not amused when she actually ''becomes'' made from bread.
81	* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Lauren's reaction to the powers that may be turning her into a [[VisualPun PB&J sandwich]] Sand Witch.
82	-->'''Lauren:''' Oh, you've got to be kidding me. I'm a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I'm. A]]. [[SuddenlyShouting SANDWICH]]. I have fillings in my arms!
83	[[/folder]]
84
85	[[folder:Prismarina the Water Witch]]
86	->'''IGN:''' [=prismarinaYT=]\
87	'''Preferred name:''' Pris/Prismarina
88
89	Pris is the Water Witch. Her main motivation for participating in the Witch Trials is in repayment to the late Supreme Witch, to whom she believes saved her life.
90	----
91	* AbusiveParents: Pris' parents only had her to be [[spoiler:a ReplacementGoldfish to her late sister, even being given the same name as her]], and resented Pris for not living up to their expectation of her, whether it be in hair colour, style, personality, or ambitions. This ultimately culminates into her being kicked out.
92	* AutismInMedia: Pris lacks a filter in some situations, doesn't understand subtlety, and is overall considered an oddball, e.g. for giving weird compliments. She is confirmed to be autistic by DiagnosisOfGod. [[invoked]]
93	* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Pris has been mentioned in passing to be among the youngest server-members, and some of the other Witches have shown annoyance to her referring to them as "children" because of this.
94	* BroughtDownToNormal: For unconfirmed reasons, Pris loses her magical abilities and even the ability to access her own storage system in the first half of her 6th episode, and she has to go on an epic quest to get them back.
95	* DeadGuyJunior: PlayedForDrama. Prismarina is named after her [[spoiler:older sister]] of the same name, who died before she was born. [[spoiler:She's explicitly intended to be a ReplacementGoldfish in the eyes of their parents.]]
96	* EvilSoundsDeep: Whenever the "demon" possessing Pris speaks through her, her voice is overlaid with a much deeper voice. However, this cannot be heard in anyone else's perspective.
97	* ForcedFromTheirHome: The beginning sequence of Pris' 4th episode reveals that she was kicked out of the house and home for being a Witch with the ability to do magic, and the final straw was her using her FloatingInABubble powers… to defend the family home from a hostile Werewolf.
98	* InSeriesNickname: Prismarina usually signs off her notes as "Pris" and has sometimes been referred to as this throughout the series. %%On this wiki, we refer to her as this to differentiate her from her late sister.
99	* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: She's constantly driven by a desire to prove herself in the fear that others won't like her. It likely has something to do with [[spoiler:her emotionally abusive childhood]].
100	* InnocentlyInsensitive: [[invoked]]WordOfGod confirms that this is the reason Scott doesn't get along with Pris, as Pris apparently keeps going on about how water is healing and pure and great… [[spoiler:when Scott's partner died from ''drowning''.]] Of course, Pris has no way of knowing that, but still…[[note]]She technically ''could'' have learnt about this by reading Scott's biography in the Enchanted Library, but she didn't.[[/note]]
101	* TheInsomniac: Pris has a tendency to put off sleep as a whole, due to the nightmarish psychic dreams she often has, though she ''[[DownplayedTrope does]]'' sleep from time to time. It has the unintentional side-effect of making it more difficult for others to curse her with the Taglock kit.
102	* LovableAlphaBitch: Pris has a flair for the dramatic and has a prideful and conceited streak, and overall appears to have a "popular girl" image. Despite this, she's quite friendly and generous -- half of the cast's first impression of her is through her welcoming gift boxes containing treasures from the ocean -- and she ends the series having made up with most of the other Witches whom she wasn't friends with from the start.
103	* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Pris is able to cast a water shield around her that negates any damage she takes, using her Water Wand and a spellbook from Shelby.
104	* MeaningfulName: Isn't it funny that the Water Witch is named after a block which is only naturally found in the ocean?
105	* PerformanceAnxiety: Pris, under much more stress than usual, struggles to use her powers in her first dungeon. What makes it worse is that she forgot to bring her pickaxe to break the mob spawners, forcing her to improvise and make a gold pickaxe on the spot.
106	* PosthumousSibling: To [[spoiler:her older sister of the same name]].
107	* ReplacementGoldfish: A textbook {{deconstruct\|edTrope}}ion. [[spoiler:As revealed in her biography in the Enchanted Library, Prismarina is born as one for her older sister of the same name, such that her parents can try to move on from her passing in a boating accident. However, her parents resented that Pris was her own person and never lived up to the golden child status of her namesake, causing Pris to grow up with many issues with self-worth. Meanwhile, the spirit of the first Prismarina despises that her parents tried to replace her and has been trying to seek out a body-vessel for her soul to come back in.]]
108	-->"They hoped that maybe they pretended that this was [[spoiler:their first child]], that it would be a way out of their grief and pain, yet it only prolonged it indefinitely."
109	* SoreLoser: Pris' prideful streak has caused her to be very upset to lose her first dungeon, but not to the point of wanting Shelby to lose. However, [[BrainwashedAndCrazy the "demon" possessing her]] has influenced her to act entitled to a victory and scream that Shelby didn't deserve to win.
110	* StoneWall: Described to be such; she's able to tank attacks with her shielding and healing magic, but her attacks aren't quite as strong.
111	[[/folder]]
112
113	[[folder:Scott the Necromantic Witch]]
114	->'''IGN:''' [=Smajor1995=]\
115	'''Preferred name:''' Scott
116
117	Scott is the Necromantic Witch. His main motivation for participating in the Witch Trials is to become powerful enough to bring his late partner back from the dead.
118	----
119	* AffectionateNickname: In life, Milo used to call him "sunshine". [[spoiler:After returning from the dead, he starts coming up with new nicknames to fit Scott's currently darker aesthetic.]]
120	* AscendedFridgeHorror: Downplayed. In his finale, an offhand comment reveals that [[spoiler:Scott almost [[DeathByDespair died from heartbreak]] and grief]] prior to the events of the series. [[invoked]]WordOfGod goes after the series ended that [[WhatCouldHaveBeen an alternate ending]] would have elaborated on this, [[spoiler:in [[TalkingDownTheSuicidal one of the most depressing ways possible]].]]
121	* BodyHorror: By his 9th episode, the [[WalkingWasteland decay]] aspect of his powers seem to have started spreading to his ''body'', as his fingers have blackened from what seems to be necrosis. [[spoiler:It's reversed after he's de-powered.]]
122	* CutenessProximity: In Episode 1; yes, he has a dark aesthetic and is one of the most morally ambiguous (or even morally ''dark'') Witches, but he sure as hell is going to metaphorically die from cuteness overload over the otters living near his house.
123	* TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget: While Scott's initial motive for learning necromancy and soul magic is to bring his partner back from the dead, as he becomes more powerful, he starts slipping towards wanting to become more powerful for the sake of it. [[spoiler:To his credit, once Agatha points this out and confronts him about it in the finale, he's [[HeelRealization able to recognize]] the corrupting effects of powerful magic and chooses to give up on it to return to his original motive.]]
124	* DePower: [[spoiler:The ritual to bring someone back from the dead requires the person performing the ritual to "give up what [they] love most", which, in Scott's case, [[TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget has shifted toward magical power as a whole]], forcing him to make the choice between continuing the life he's built for himself over the past four years (at the cost of his dwindling health and mental state), or going back to the life he had before everything went down (at the cost of losing the progress he has made and abilities he has advanced on). Since he acknowledges and realizes that TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget, he ultimately returns to being a normal human.]]
125	* EntertaininglyWrong: After meeting all of the other Witches with ''none'' of them mentioning Lauren in their conversations, Scott immediately presumes that she's extremely powerful and dangerous. This is in reference to someone who is terrified of being eaten by birds, and whose starter ability doesn't even work if she's indoors.
126	* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: {{Implied\|Trope}}. Scott has black hair for the duration of the series, but a dream shows his past self had blond hair. Since [[spoiler:the ritual that de-powered him didn't change his hair colour]], it is presumed that the colour change is unrelated to magic.
127	* AGodAmI: At his worst, Scott has a self-professed god complex and revels in being ''ridiculously'' more powerful than most of the other Witches. He doesn't see some of them as worthy opponents, though to his credit, he has a healthy respect for and genuinely cares about those he considers friends.
128	* HornedHumanoid: Sometime around his 6th episode, Scott has grown two small, black demon horns.
129	* InconsistentColoring: Scott is depicted throughout the duration of the series with dark green eyes, but a dream sequence involving his past self shows him with light olive green eyes.
130	* {{Invisibility}}: Using the Specter Bangle trinket, a player can go invisible whenever they crouch. Scott has exploited this ability to collect Taglocks of other Witches so he can curse them, as well as for espionage.
131	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: A proud, remorseless murderer who has no problem with trolling others, and who intimidates half the cast, including ''Bertha'', but also cares deeply for his friends, and whose motivation for joining the competition in the first place is borne from love.
132	* MysteriousPast: Gradually subverted. While it is established from the get-go that Scott's motivation for competing is to gain the power to bring a loved one back from the dead, it is not until his 9th episode and his perspective of the series finale where the specific details of his backstory are disclosed, including the very name of the loved one he's trying to bring back.
133	* {{Necromantic}}: In his first episode, Scott alludes to ''teaching himself'' necromancy, and his main motivation in becoming Supreme Witch is gaining access to strong and powerful magic that no one else has access to, in order to bring a loved one BackFromTheDead.
134	* SeeksAnothersResurrection: Type 1; his main motivation throughout the series is to bring his partner back from the dead by any means possible.
135	* SourOutsideSadInside: Has a snarky and mean-spirited streak, especially to Joey and Pris, but is also clearly dealing with severe issues with grief and mainly dislikes the latter because she [[InnocentlyInsensitive keeps unintentionally pushing one of his buttons]].
136	* UndeathlyPallor: After becoming a Lich, Scott's skin turns much paler than its normal shade. [[spoiler:This is reversed and he returns to a normal, healthy appearance after being de-powered.]]
137	* WalkingWasteland: The more Scott uses his necromantic abilities, the more the decay around his house spreads.
138	[[/folder]]
139
140	[[folder:Shelby the Storm Witch]]
141	->'''IGN:''' [=ShubbleYT=]\
142	'''Preferred name:''' Shelby
143
144	Shelby is the Storm Witch. Her reason for participating in the Witch Trials is unknown. For tropes about her before she became the Storm Witch, [[Characters/EmpiresSMPSeasonTwo see here]].
145	----
146	* AllThereInTheManual: Shelby's past and details about her life before she received the invitation to the Witch Trials are revealed in [[WebVideo/EmpiresSMP supplementary material]].
147	* DoubleJump: Using the Cloud Amulet, Shelby is able to do this, though it doesn't negate the fall damage sustained. Because of this, she works to create a Ring of Ascent, which [[{{Flight}} allows her to fly]] (as in walking on air, Creative Mode style) as well as negating fall damage.
148	* HeroOfAnotherStory: Quite literally; Shelby's backstory is told through [[spoiler:WebVideo/EmpiresSMP Season 2; her Empires finale's epilogue ends with her receiving her invitation to the Witch Trials and segues directly into the series.]]
149	* MyGirlBackHome: Shelby has a love interest at home waiting for her return from the Witch Trials. However, the identity of this love interest is [[TheUnReveal never stated]].
150	* MysteriousPast: Shelby's backstory is only ever discussed in the series proper with a couple of {{Noodle Incident}}s, and her motivation for competing has never been stated. All we know is that she has a history with her trader, that she's never been a stickler for the rules, and she has [[MyGirlBackHome a partner to go home to]] in the end. Subverted in [[spoiler:the [[AllThereInTheManual Empires Season 2 finale]], which confirms Shelby's [[CharacterOverlap backstory]] as the resident witch assigned to the Evermoore, which lines up with her more rebellious tendencies.]]
151	* MysticalWhiteHair: Shelby has white hair and is able to control the weather with her powers. [[spoiler:The prequel series explains that she's LockedIntoStrangeness after being "exorcised" of Sculk corruption.]]
152	* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Shelby has golden eyes and is a Witch with the ability to summon rainstorms.
153	* ThemeNaming: All of Shelby's pets are named after weather phenomena, including Nimbus the raven, Gale the Żar-ptak, Cosmo the bee, and Cloud the Arctic fox.

156	[[folder:Tiff the Nature Witch]]
157	->'''IGN:''' [=ihasCupquake=]\
158	'''Preferred name:''' Cupquake/Tiff
159
160	Tiff is the Nature Witch. Her main motivation for participating in the Witch Trials is because Mother Nature advised her to do so, in order to restore balance to nature.
161	----
162	* AndTheAdventureContinues: In Tiff's ending, [[spoiler:she hears mysterious whispers coming from her portal to [[LandOfFaerie Alfheim]], and decides to go through the portal to follow the whispers]]. Their respective endings show that Joey and Bertha eventually [[spoiler:follow her through the portal as well, the latter to keep an eye on the two former Witch Trial candidates]].
163	* ResignedToTheCall: Tiff's motivation to compete in the Witch Trials is to restore balance to nature on Mother Earth's behalf, when she'd personally prefer to stay in her garden and care for her flowers. [[spoiler:By the end of the series, she's glad to have gone on such a journey as it has helped her in self-discovery and encouraged her to attain new heights.]]
164	* RingsOfDeath: In the latter weeks of the series, Tiff's preferred weapon is half a dozen chakrams which can return to her inventory after she throws them. She gives a set to Joey late in the series to help him in fights against Gaia Guardians.
165	* SensitiveArtist: Went to art school at some point before the series, and is one of the friendliest and most emotionally secure of the cast.
166	* TalkingToPlants: Mother Earth is able to communicate with Tiff the Nature Witch through the trees.

171	[[folder:Bertha]]
172	->'''IGN:''' [=BerthaTheTrader=]\
173	'''Preferred name:''' Bertha
174
175	Bertha is the Telepathy Witch. She competed in a past iteration of the Witch Trials, but was sabotaged by her sister and cursed to be a faceless void being with her power halved. In the current Witch Trials, she initially serves as a trader for Inquisitive Gems, the main currency for which magical items are purchased, but later takes on a somewhat mentor-like role to the other Witches, running multiple establishments.
176
177	%%Bertha uses all pronouns. It is unnecessary to "correct" the use of different pronoun sets between trope entries.
178	----
179	* BrutalHonesty: Bertha doesn't seem to be a big fan of tact. For one, when inviting the four Witches who lost the preliminary dungeons to the "losers' battle", she greets them with, "Hello, loser."
180	* InconsistentColoring: [[spoiler:Bertha has [[TechnicolorEyes purple eyes]] as her normal, uncursed self in-game but green eyes in the official art.]]
181	* LastNameBasis: Bertha prefers to refer to Scott as "Mr. Major".
182	* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: Other than trading Inquisitive Gems and magical items, Bertha has started running her own therapy office, resort, and school.
183	* ThirdPersonPerson: Bertha refers to themself as 'Bertha' as opposed to 'I' or 'me' [[DownplayedTrope at times]], especially while monologuing.
184	* YouRemindMeOfX: After Pris drinks from a magical pond and shrinks drastically in size, Bertha recalls that they once saw [[WebVideo/EmpiresSMP a toy named 'Timmy']] when they were younger and that the miniaturized Pris reminded them of him.

193	* DreamWeaver: As a Witch of Dreams, Mertha has the power to appear, talk to, and influence one's dreams. However, her powers have been weakening the more she uses them, ever since she was cursed.
194	* ForcedTransformation: She was cursed to be a goat by Bertha's sister out of envy.

200
201	The former Supreme Witch and Bertha's late sister. %%[brief backstory and character motivation]
202	----
203	* BackFromTheDead: In their 4th episode, Bertha uses a ritual involving the spoils from the four preliminary dungeons to resurrect the Supreme Witch, with the intention of killing her again after uncursing them and Mertha. [[spoiler:However, neither of this comes to pass.]]
204	* {{Curse}}: Prior to the events of the series, the Supreme Witch sabotaged Bertha and Mertha in their own competition by cursing them [[spoiler:because if anyone other than herself were to gain the title, there would apparently have been "grave consequences".]] In sabotaging them, she robbed Bertha of her face and [[ForcedTransformation turned Mertha into a goat]]. [[spoiler:However, she is unable to remove this curse after being brought BackFromTheDead, and the two have to be uncursed by her successor.]]
205	* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:After hearing that there would have been "grave consequences" if the Supreme Witch didn't sabotage her sister and her partner, Bertha immediately drops the issue and doesn't ask what those consequences would ''be'' exactly, and gives up on the plan to kill her even though they couldn't be uncursed.]]
206	* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: {{Discussed\|Trope}}. With a statue of the late Supreme Witch in her house, Pris wonders if what the Supreme Witch's true name is, and if everyone around her simply referred to her by her title. Her true name is ultimately [[TheUnReveal never revealed]] throughout the series, with Bertha simply referring to her as their sister.
207	* HeroicSacrifice: According to Ogien, Pris' trader, while the late Supreme Witch was growing older and frailer, sealing away the demon threatening to take over her kingdom cost her her life.
208	* IDidWhatIHadToDo: When asked for an explanation, the previous Supreme Witch claims to have cursed Bertha and Mertha because she saw into the future and if anyone else were to win, "there would be grave consequences".

215	* FrogMen: Dodgy Frank, Cleo's trader, is seen as a frog prince and said to be keen on trying to get others to kiss him and "break the curse on him". However, he is, in fact, from an alternate timeline where the sentient races are non-human.
216	* MrExposition: Ogien explains to Pris how the late Supreme Witch died during her 1st episode.
217	* NoodleIncident: Shelby mentions having accidentally struck her trader NPC, Barnabus, with lightning sometime prior to the server events.
218	* SideBet: The finale reveals that Dodgy Frank and Agatha have one going in the background, that they each bet 20 bucks on whether Cleo or Scott would become the new Supreme Witch.
219	* SmallRoleBigImpact: Agatha is a minor character and isn't even voiced until the finale, but she's ''critical'' to [[spoiler:Milo's resurrection by a) having the book with the necessary knowledge in her possession, and b) calling Scott out on how TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget, prompting his HeelRealization.]]
220	* VocalDissonance: Pris' trader NPC, Ogien, looks like a regal and elegant lady, but speaks with a deep, almost masculine monotone.

223	[[folder:The "Demon"]]
224	->'''IGN:''' N/A\
225	'''Preferred name:''' [[spoiler:Prismarina]]
226
227	A mysterious spirit possessing Pris in the first half of her perspective of the series. After being banished from her body, they seek to possess another person… for personal reasons.
228	----
229	* DemonicPossession:
230	** At the start of the series, the spirit takes possession of Pris and can take over her thoughts and speech. The demon can also induce LaserGuidedAmnesia in her if it so chooses.
231	** They are revealed to be possessing [[spoiler:Ogien, Pris' trader]], who is jealous of her for having the opportunity to [[spoiler:live the life she could have lived. Pris eventually has to convince 'Ogien' to return to the Spirit Realm where she belongs.]]
232	* LovedByAll: [[spoiler:In life, Prismarina was seen as the golden child of her parents and beloved by her community for being sunny and polite… until her tragic death in a boating accident.]]
233	* NoNameGiven: Their name initially goes unstated through most of the series, and is only referred to as a "demon". However, later episodes [[SubvertedTrope confirm their identity]] as [[spoiler:Pris' older sister of the same name]].
234	* SicklyGreenGlow: Whenever the spirit possessing Pris speaks through her, she starts growing a bright green colour. However, [[StylizedForTheViewer this is not visible in anyone else's perspective]].
235	* WalkingSpoiler: Their true identity isn't stated until Pris' 11th episode.

237
238	[[folder:[=MythicalSausage=] and [=TheOrionSound=]]]
239	The hosts of the Goober Games show, where they feature El's preliminary dungeon battle against Cleo.
240	----
241	* IdenticalStranger: A cross-series example; it is unknown if they are the same characters as [[spoiler:their Empires counterparts]], as Shelby's perspective canonizes WCSMP to [[spoiler:Empires Season 2 directly]].
242	* NoNameGiven: The two technically go unnamed in the series.
243	* SmarmyHost: Both of them are prone to interrupting their interviewees and can be on the insensitive side.

245
246	[[folder:Milo -- '''Unmarked Spoilers''']]
247	->'''IGN:''' N/A\
248	'''Voiced by:''' Skyler Seymour\
249	'''Preferred name:''' Milo
250
251	Scott's late partner and "[[OneTrueLove soulmate]]". He drowned saving Maxwell, presumably a family pet, during a picnic at a lake.
252	----
253	* BackFromTheDead: Scott's main motivation through the entire series is to bring him back. [[ResurrectedRomance He succeeds in the finale]].
254	* BigEater: Implied. After learning about the circumstances surrounding his death, the first thing Milo brings up is how hungry he is.
255	* FourIsDeath: {{Inverted\|Trope}}. It takes 4 years for Milo to be brought BackFromTheDead.
256	* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Possibly; given how badly Scott's mental health goes downhill in canon either in grief or to bring him back.
257	* TheLostLenore: To Scott, whose primary motivation for competing to be the Supreme Witch in the first place is to bring him back from the dead and have his "happily ever after".
258	* SatelliteLoveInterest: We know little of him outside of his romantic life.
259	* SweetBaker: Milo is implied to have baked in life, according to a dream sequence, and from the little we've seen of him, he absolutely ''adores'' his partner.
260	* WalkingSpoiler: The circumstances revolving around Milo's passing aren't revealed until the finale. Even then, Milo's ''name'' isn't even stated until Scott's 9th episode, released in Week 6 out of 8 in the series.
