Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The small town of Middleton get a shock when the local haunted house, Grey House, finds itself a new owner: the mysterious Cassandra Nightingale. Who is this woman? Where did she come from? And why does it seem that ever since she's showed up things in town have gotten a little more... magical?Starting out as several TV movies before spinning off into a television series, The Good Witch stars Cassie Nightingale (Catherine Bell) as she makes a home including finding love with Police Chief Jake Russel (Chris Potter) and a family with Jake's two young children. Of course not everyone is as welcoming including the mayor's wife Martha Tinsdale who believes that "Miss Nightingale" is bad for their town. Despite evidence to contrary...What's interesting about Cassie's story is that despite the title, it's deliberately kept vague whether she has any real powers with many of the problems of the films and show are solved in rather mundane ways. The franchise focuses on the lives and experiences of those living everyday lives in Middleton rather than any supernatural elements that may, or may not, exist in the series.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The film series began in 2008 with The Good Witch with a new film released yearly starting with The Good Witch's Garden (2009), The Good Witch's Gift (2010), The Good Witch's Family (2011), The Good Witch's Charm (2012), The Good Witch's Destiny (2013), and the The Good Witch's Wonder (2014).A year later in 2015 the TV spin-off aired, fast-forwarding to when Cassie's daughter is a teenager and her own growing gifts as witch while dealing with ordinary teenage problems.It most certainly should not be confused with the webcomic of the same name. Especially given the main protagonists are as opposite as Earth and Mars. | |

Low Fantasy | |
| The Good Witch (Franchise) / int_319cc4d7 | comment |
Low Fantasy: Rather than fancy and overt spells, the setting seems to establish magic is more a blend of Psychic Powers and almost mystical intuition]; most notably the biggest, positive and negative, changes are the result of Cassie giving advise or taking actions that inadvertently give people the chance to make the choice themselves. The level of low is thus that removing the supernatural elements wouldn't change anything about the plots. | |

Mysterious Past: After doing a background on Cassie in the first film, Jake and his subordinate Derek Sanders are surprised to discover that Cassie is not in any known database. Jake figures out that it's not her actual name, at least on paper. Later she confirms her real name is Sue Ellen Brock. Her parents were traveling performers who were killed in a car crash. She was sent back to the States and stayed in foster care before running away.. Each successful film has seen a little more her past but never any specifics. | |

Humans Are Special: When once asked if she had any magic, Cassie responded that everyone was capable of magic. She likely wasn't being literal but the franchise does emphasized that it's everyday people, not Cassie, who solves the problems they're facing with a little advice from her to get them started. | |

Jerkass: Martha Tinsdale throughout the first film where she does everything in her power to get rid of Cassie including rallying support for a town vote to close the Bell, Book, & Candle. While she never quite stops being a Drama Queen and Large Ham, she is shown in later works to be genuine in her love of Middleton and mellows out quite a bit over the years. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Martha is at first shown to simply hate Cassie for just showing up and not conforming to what the former believed to be necessary to Middleton's prosperity. Over time her Control Freak tendencies lessen and she lets her guard down, showing a true passion to helping her town if blinded by melodramatic worries. | |
