8	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/joanna_beauchamp_4.jpg]]
9	->'''Played by''': Creator/JuliaOrmond
10	The Beauchamp matriarch and mother of Freya and Ingrid
11	----
12	* ActionMom: Wendy tells Ingrid and Freya early on that their mother is a HiddenBadass.
13	* TheAgeless: Her particular type of {{Immortality}}, combined with NighInvulnerability. Joanna's been living on earth for centuries ever since she and her sister were cursed.
14	* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She starts as the most mature of the main characters, especially in contrast to her sister Wendy, and makes hard decisions to save her daughters.
15	* BlatantLies: Her standard modus operandi. It's easier to list things Joanna ''didn't'' lie about.
16	* DamselInDistress: Often incapacitated in various ways.
17	* DullSurprise: a former partner even berates her for never showing emotion.
18	* EasilyForgiven: The girls keep on finding out that Joanna lied to them about yet another thing, and keep on understanding and forgiving.
19	* EnemiesList: Joanna is trying to compile hers in "Today I am a Witch", but there are a lot of people who've held grudges toward her over the centuries.
20	* [[GiveHimANormalLife Give Them A Normal Life]]: Joanna has seen her daughters grow up and die young from their own magic countless times. This time around, she wanted to finally give them a normal life and decided for once to keep their powers a secret from them.
21	* HotWitch: All of the Beauchamp women are beautiful witches.
22	* InformedAbility: She's constantly singled out as an immensely powerful witch, but hardly ever does any remarkable feats of magic. When she deals with things, it's often through physical violence or using magic items that come from outside.
23	* MysticalPregnancy: Joanna has been cursed to ''eternal motherhood''. What this means is that once both of her daughters inevitably die, she gets pregnant with Ingrid again, and then Freya, starting the process over. Her daughters die, and she's suddenly nine months pregnant again. Yowza.
24	* NighInvulnerability: She's made of some really hard stuff, but with the right spell it's not entirely impossible to counteract her {{Immortality}}.
25	--> '''Wendy:''' "Even though you're cursed with immortality, you're not really immortal, are you, Joanna? I mean, if someone wanted to kill you, really wanted to kill you, they could.
26	* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Occasionally, British actress Julia Ormond can't hide her accent. Turns into WhatTheHellIsThatAccent when she actively tries to work against it.
27	* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Wendy's red, in accordance with the FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling dynamic.
28	* WhatTheHellHero: Gets one by Freya who just learned she's a witch and gets royally pissed at her mom for trying to convince her she wasn't when she was a child, going to the extent of ''sending her to therapy''.
29	* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Julia Ormond unsuccessfully tries to strangle her native British tongue, leaving her with a very strange accent that shifts from one side of the Atlantic to the other. Justified for her character, in that Joanna's several hundred years old and naturally would have had to learn to move with the times.

33	[[folder:Ingrid Beauchamp]]
34	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ingrid_beauchamp_0.jpg]]
35	->'''Played by''': Creator/RachelBoston
36	The oldest daughter of Joanna Beauchamp. Prim, shy and intellectual.
37
38	----
39	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: In the past, she was in love and under the thumb of [[spoiler:Archibald Browning]]. She also falls under the spell of [[spoiler: the Mandragora]] and only gets involved with [[spoiler: Dash Gardiner]] after he does some quite evil things.
40	* ArbitrarySkepticism: In the very first episode Ingrid attempts to find rational, science-based explanations for supernatural things happening around her, even when it's obvious they don't work.
41	* BornAgainImmortality: Her and Freya's particular type of {{Immortality}}. As soon as both of them are dead, Joanna is pregnant with Ingrid again. The sisters don't keep their memories, though.
42	* [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength Does Not Know Her Own Strength]]: She had trouble believing Wendy that she might be the most gifted witch out of the four of them. So she often underestimates the effects her spells can have.
43	* FaceHeelTurn: 1906 Ingrid was well on her way to one, before being accidentally killed by [[spoiler:Wendy]]. [[spoiler:Being brought back to life by Athena completed the turn.]]
44	* TheGift: Wendy confirms that – including all of her previous lifetimes – Ingrid has always been the most naturally talented witch of them.
45	* HotWitch: All of the Beauchamp women are beautiful witches.
46	* IJustWantToBeNormal: In episode 2 she tells Wendy how her simple life as a librarian may not be very exciting, but that she was very happy and comfortable with it.
47	* InsistentTerminology: She insists on identifying as a rational skeptic.
48	* ItsAllAboutMe: Whenever something happens to her or with her (or even when she's a passive and accidental onlooker), she insists it's her fault and others have to console her for it. Probably done to make her compassionate and responsible, but it comes across as if she thinks she is the cause and crux of every matter.
49	* LoveMakesYouEvil: 1906 Ingrid was very nearly convinced to become evil by Archibald [[spoiler:but was accidentally killed by Wendy before she could fully become evil]].
50	* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Freya's red, in accordance with the FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling dynamic.
51	* SkepticNoLonger: Her eagerness to use spells grows as soon as she experiences that magic is real first-hand.
52	* TheSmartGuy: In contrast to Freya's EmotionalPowers, Ingrid is very book-smart. Sometimes too much for her own good.
53	* SmartPeopleKnowLatin: Het Latin knowledge comes in handy when she tries to create or modify spells and it complements her role as TheSmartGuy.
54	* TVGenius: She's supposed to be smart, so she rattles off some long words (like "cognitive dissonance"), and berates Freya for working in a bar and getting married. She also "identifies the dialect" in a medieval book in French and spontaneously starts speaking Old Norse in the last episode.
55	* WhatTheHellHero: Wendy scolds Ingrid several times for biting off more than she can chew when it comes to magic.

63
64	----
65	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Her attraction to black-sheep-of-the-family Killian while being engaged to future doctor Dash is played as this. [[spoiler: Ultimately subverted, as Killian is a good, compassionate person and not the rotten apple he's painted as]].

70	* CassandraTruth: Prior to learning about witchcraft, Freya was convinced she had aura vision and that she met Killian in a dream the night before her engagement party. Nobody believed her. As they didn't when she claimed to possess magical powers as a child.

76	* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Ingrid's blue, in accordance with the FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling dynamic.
77	* SexGoddess: Mostly in her book incarnation, where she's said to have a lot of experience thanks to having [[ReallyGetsAround slept around a lot]] during [[ImmortalityPromiscuity her many lives]]. She even mentions that very few men have been able to keep up with her in bed.
78	* SexMagic: In the book, she has several sex-related abilities due to her status as a LoveGoddess, such as being able to see images of a person's last sexual encounters.
79	* SiblingTriangle: She finds herself in a LoveTriangle between her fiancé Dash and his younger brother Killian, whom she finds herself irresistibly attracted to much to her frustration and confusion.
