W.I.T.C.H. (TV series)/Characters
The Quintessence Guardian, and the main protagonist. She holds the Heart of Kandrakar, which gives the other girls the power to transform into their guardian forms.
- A-Cup Angst: both in the comics and the series she makes it clear how much she prefers her Guardian Form over her real body.
- Badass Normal - In season 1, but in season 2, not anymore since she gets her Quintessence powers. Averted in the comic, where she has those powers from the start.
- Beware the Nice Ones: In the comic books, after getting mind raped by Phobos, she replied trying to disintegrate him, sparing him at the last moment to invert the Grand Theft Me he had pulled
- To be fair, the Guardians default method of defeating villains in the comic is to go for the kill, unlike the cartoon were they usually just subdue them.
- Technopath: And appliances.
- Will also counts. There's even a villain who claimed that fifth element is willpower!
- Notably averted in the story that showed us an older Will. She was still much less well-endowed and also skinnier than her Guardian forms, which would mean the Guardian forms comes with this as an actual power, it doesn't use an older version of the character.
- Given some of their comments about their appearance, the Guardian form is fixed from their appearance complexes.
- Heart Is an Awesome Power: But in the second season she gains Shock and Awe and technopathic skills. Plus, the show Guardians can only transform when Will uses the Heart of Candracar.

- Big Breasts, Big Deal: overlaps with Buxom Is Better as Irma never misses a chance to "show off" how quick and how much she developed. The "how to draw" concept out goes out of the way to mention she's curvy and to make her bust obvious ("She's the biggest of the girls")

Completely averted in the animated series, where she's consistently depicted as just as slim as the others (if with larger breasts).
- Gag Boobs: Irma already has oversized boobs, but she tries to go "bigger" (twice) and ironically ends up embarrassing herself. Twice.

- Fish Out of Water: She's sophisticated enough to realize that tv sets are machines, not magic, but she still needed to be explained that romantic melodrama movies aren't Real Life.
- Lethal Chef: sort of. Nobody ever ate an Earth dish prepared by her because she will either flood the kitchen or burn whatever she's cooking, even the pasta.
- Mukokuseki: Probably some kind of Asian, but no one's really sure. Then again, she's not even from Earth.

- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": For much of the comic and all of the animated series, he is only known as "the Oracle." In the comic, it turns out even he himself has forgotten his real name, having placed his old identity behind him when taking up the mantle as the Oracle.

In the Elyon one-shot comic, he and Elyon encounter a group of people who still remember and hate Vathek for his villainous days, and despite Elyon's protests, Vathek willingly lets them put him on trial because he feels they are justified in their hatred of him.
- Boisterous Bruiser
- The Brute: Is set up as one in the comic, but this is Deconstructed fairly quickly as his Hidden Depths begin showing.

- Epic Flail
- Gentle Giant: Especially in later stories.
- Heel Face Turn: In the animated series, he was The Mole and on the side of the good guys all along. In the comic, he was originally Cedric's loyal Brute who was sent to the resistance as a Mole but ended up getting sympathy for their cause (as well as taking some words Will had said to heart) and genuinely changed sides.
- Our Orcs Are Different: Like most Meridian natives, he has an orcish appearance. In the comic, he explains to Elyon that the orcish-looking Meridians call themselves the "Galhot" and are the original natives of Meridan. The more human-looking Meridians are called "Escanors" and are actually descended from humans who came to Meridian many generations ago.

Reviews for "How mascot graphic designers can create mascots that connect emotionally"
1. Olivia - 2 stars
I found the "Mascot graphic designer" to be quite disappointing. The designs offered were generic and lacked creativity. I was hoping for unique and eye-catching mascots for my business, but what I received looked like stock images. The communication with the designer was also subpar, as they often took days to respond to my inquiries. Overall, I felt like I wasted both my time and money on this service.
2. Ethan - 1 star
I cannot believe I paid for the "Mascot graphic designer" service. The quality of the designs was extremely poor, with pixelated images and sloppy details. It seemed like the designer put in minimal effort and rushed through the process. The worst part was that I couldn't even request revisions or changes to the designs. Once I received the initial designs, that was it. I would not recommend this service to anyone in need of professional mascot designs.
3. Emily - 2 stars
I had high hopes for the "Mascot graphic designer," but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The designs I received were unoriginal and lacked the creativity I was seeking. Additionally, the turnaround time was much longer than advertised, leaving me frustrated and burdened with delays. The lack of clear communication from the designer further added to my disappointment. Overall, I regret investing in this service and would advise others to explore alternative options for their graphic design needs.
