Majo (witches) are the main theme to the series. The witches are a species of humans that live in the Majokai and use their magic to do just about everything in their daily life.
History
Originally the witches, wizards, and humans all lived together in a peaceful, harmonized world. But after a lot of bad luck and disease began spreading, the witches were blamed for committing terrible acts; so with no other choice, they fled to a private land to call their own.
Majotourbillion then separated the two worlds and put a curse on every witch. If a human found out that she was, in fact, a witch, she would immediately turn into a witch frog.
Appearance
A witch's appearance varies. Some may be older or of heavy-weight, while some may be youthful or extremely-skinny. This trait carries to their witch frog form, in which a witch frog's colors tend to range from various shades of greens, sea foam, or teal.
Most witches wear dark clothing with gloves, boots, capes, and caps. Their outfits are known to come into two styles. These being either a single-piece bodysuit with striped gloves and a cape, or a dress with separate pants, boots, and capes while her gloves overlap the sleeves.
Usually, a witch will wear earrings or some sort of accessory to match their Crystal ball; which will be worn on the hat, a necklace chain, or broach.
When a witch turns into a witch frog they lose their former appearance and abilities; only keeping their crystal ball as a necklace. Her eyes become a very dark color, while her lips are a various color and in most cases appear to be thick or swollen. The witch will usually have her bangs or some form of hair left from her human form; as it will grant her some magic ability.
When a witch is born, she comes from a blue rose. In baby form, the witch may or may not possess hair, and often times can be seen in single piece outfits or animal-eared outfits.
Spell Casting
When a witch reaches her strongest potential she usually no longer needs a use of a wand; simply snapping her finger. But some witches tend to use a gold or pink wand with a hand pointing on the end, where a crystal ball-shaped gem sits on the end. It is unknown as to why some witches need or use these.
Like an apprentice witch, real witches are just as forbidden from using bad magic.
Fairy
Like an apprentice, witches gain the use of a little fairy partner. These fairies, being older then those an apprentice witch is shown gaining, will often take the form of a cat to blend in with their owner whenever they are in the human's world.
Like a witch or witch frog form, a fairy's transformed state often resembles their normal form.
Many witches have appeared without a fairy, but this is also unexplained.
