Vain Sorceress	comment	So, by studying magic or through being extraordinarily gifted genetically, you've managed to acquire the power to cast flashy destructive spells, brainwash people en masse, and pretty much bend the whole of reality to your will. What is the first thing you do? Well... if you're a woman (or in more modern depictions, a man or a woman), the first thing you probably do is use your magic to make yourself look like a Vogue cover model. As villains tend to be defined by their vices, it's only natural then, that many villainesses and more than a few villains would gravitate towards vanity. Until the 19th century, this had been predominantly a female trope, but this is no longer true: one of the most famous examples set in (relatively) modern times is a male, Dorian Gray from Oscar Wilde's famous novel. Whereas the female variant is usually a witch using magic to keep herself young and beautiful (human sacrifices optional), the male variant is more often a sexy but bloodsucking ''bad boy'' vampire as first made famous with the Byronic Hero Lord Ruthven in John Polidori's 1819 "The Vampyre", which pioneered the male vampire as the Spear Counterpart to the Vain Sorceress. While any sorceress who looks over 40 runs the risk of being ridiculed for her less than perfect looks, ancient-looking wizards, Warlocks, and male magic users are rarely subject to the same kind of ribbing. They will also be far less likely to fly off of the handle when called "Old man" or "Gramps", even when they have no grandchildren. Many of them may actually be trying to purposely cultivate the "wizened old man" look to inspire respect or get their enemies to underestimate them. It should be noted that some female characters do act this way as well, but they're going for the obvious smart-alecky hag gimmick, which only in recent years has become popular enough to be taken seriously. The Vain Sorceress might just be a particular version of the rapidly-vanishing rule that in fantasy stories, all female main characters must appear youthful in appearance regardless of age. This is especially true for female mages who are associated with big strong virile warriors as their tanks; the difference between a good mage and the Vain Sorceress is only about 30% less clothing and 30% more purple dye. The Vain Sorceress's youthfulness is often related to a specific power, where the character has to maintain their appearance by sucking energy from the young — if not be an outright vampire. Evil sorceresses tend to be far more obsessed with the perfection of their appearance and go to further lengths to maintain it than good ones will. They may even go so far as to pull a Grand Theft Me, stealing a younger, prettier body to act as the vessel for their soul. In any case, they have to be the Fairest of Them All... by any means necessary. If the Vain Sorceress can't achieve her desired beauty via her own power, she may bargain with a greater evil to receive it in exchange for services rendered. If there's a Black Magician Girl in the hero's party, the Vain Sorceress will mock her unrefined, tomboyish look and intentionally flirt with the hero to make her mad. If there isn't, she'll mock the White Magician Girl's naivete. This again goes back to her vanity: the presence of other, younger females that spend most of their time with the good-looking heroic opposition means that putting them down and preserving her top spot is naturally a high priority. Works that believe Vanity Is Feminine are just about guaranteed to have at least one Vain Sorceress running around; in such works, male characters who act this way are usually Sissy Villains. Sometimes the Vain Sorceress is the Dark Magical Girl all grown up, so the heroine is the 'good' version. If the protagonist is a young male, this can venture into unintended Freudian overtones. If the Vain Sorceress suffers from the Green-Eyed Monster, she often features as the Fairest of Them All. Usually delights in answering Revenge SVPs. Note: this trope doesn't have anything to do with shapeshifting, deceptive illusion, or the more drastic physical changes that a male or female magic user may undergo in their campaign against an enemy. This is strictly a vanity thing. (It's interesting to note, however, how much prettier and more human-looking a female mage's monstrous forms are compared to those of a male mage.) Contrast the Wicked Witch, who is equally villainous but lacks the beauty, and the Hot Witch, who has the beauty but lacks the obsession. If this person is also much older than they seem, then they are Really 700 Years Old. Such a villainess may be The Vamp, but the Vain Sorceress doesn't have to have the unchaste relationships or the overtly sexualized appearance that characterize that trope; rather, she may prefer and achieve the image of a beautiful Proper Lady. What defines this trope is the obsession with beauty, not necessarily with using it to seduce people. Compare Plastic Bitch, which uses 'artificial methods' (in this case plastic surgery) to enhance a vain and proud person's appearance. Examples

Her vanity masses somewhere above the Gigaton range, as virtually everything in her immortal life hinges on her beauty in some fashion. Much of her magic is either dedicated to enhancing her appearance, or uses her beauty as a focus, or material component, such as her many versions of charm and mind-control spells. When recovering from injuries suffered in battle, her first and most driving need is to be sure her flawless face and perfect body have come through without permanent damage. In the event of injury or scarring, she has proven that she can repair the damage magically, though it seems to be power and time-intensive.

She abducts and sacrifices "young and comely" (read: cute) Rigelian girls to keep herself young and pretty, and now she wants to sacrifice either Alm or Celica because as Brand Bearers, they might "grant" her immortality if they're made into human sacrifices.

However, it's not really a case of vanity, since her costume covers up her entire body except for her hands — it seems to be mostly for the benefit of her son, Mordred, whom she cast a spell on to grant eternal life and eternal youth. Evidently, it fixed him at that age and can't be broken or altered without causing him to instantly turn into a withered old man. Circe from "This Little Piggy" is another variant not centered on physical beauty. According to Medusa, Circe was always jealous of her cousins, the Sirens, and one of the first things she does once freed from the Underworld is proving her singing can compete with theirs.

Vain Sorceress / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld's witches are generally an exception; they intentionally cultivate the "hag" image, and very few are willing to mock them. Of course, the local rules of magic state that the natural shape of a witch or wizard quickly reasserts itself, so it's pointless for them to try to change their appearance. Although when Magrat marries the king, she briefly muses that she might have to become a Witch Queen, which probably involves wearing revealing clothes. Then again, considering Magrat doesn't exactly have much to reveal, it's probably for the best that she settled for a more sensible look and prefers ruling as a rather benevolent, if slightly too liberal and modern, queen. During the Sourceror's reign, many UU wizards initially tried to youthen themselves with the more powerful magic. Unfortunately, as mentioned above, it didn't take too well, and having fifty years of aging coming back and sucker-punching you in the gut will ruin anyone's day. Lady Lilith, Granny Weatherwax's evil older sister, looks pretty much like Esme would if she were fifty years younger. This is due to highly dangerous use of mirror magic.

Vain Sorceress / int_4ab60cf9	comment	In some of the earliest versions of the tale of Snow White, the Wicked Queen fears Snow White's maturing beauty because it symbolizes her impending death due to an ancient mythological trope that a person's child is his or her replacement — and she is Snow White's biological mother (not stepmother). So her efforts to kill Snow White are not based on physical vanity, but on a desperate hunger for immortality.

Vain Sorceress / int_4b97cdc0	comment	Liliana Vess in Magic: The Gathering. She was once an "original" Planeswalker, essentially an immortal, godlike being, and had eternal youth to go with it. However, when a Cosmic Retcon depowered the Planeswalkers and reduced them to being "merely" very powerful universe-hopping mages, she lost her power and began to age. When she, as an old lady, made a Deal with the Devil (four demons, to be exact) to regain her powers, you can bet she asked for her youth and beauty back as part of the deal.

Unlike the other examples, there's no way to make one of them pretty, and their natural appearance is utterly hideous. They express their vanity by making it so that no woman prettier than themselves (which is pretty much every mortal woman) can crew a ship in the West without calling down their wrath. They do provide a third option, however, allowing women to become the "third-gender" Tya if they want to take to the sea. They also find it hard to affect red-haired women, due to the existence of a more powerful deity of sail who happens to be a redhead.

This has the rather nasty side effect of aging her victims until they die. After Yuno kicks her ass and forces Catherine to burn up most of her mana to defend herself from his attack, her appearance reverts to that of an old lady in her 70's. At this point she becomes desperate enough to regain her youth that she decides to attack the nearest person she can find, outright demanding that they give her their mana. Unfortunately, she ends up attacking Charmy, who finishes what Yuno started under the mistaken belief that Catherine was after her food.

This example also illustrates the primary paradox intrinsic to this trope: Why would an intelligent, powerful woman like the Queen be so crazily obsessed over something as seemingly paltry as mere physical appearance? Sure, vanity might explain part of it, but to go so far as to seek the death of a rival (who is not even aware of her grudge), and undergo a painful transformation to disguise herself so that she could personally carry out a murder plot? Seems a bit over the top, but then again, that's the warping nature of evil for you.

Another episode featured the beautiful owner of a cosmetics store who oddly enough for someone so vain avoids mirrors like the plague. Her beauty is only an illusion and mirrors reflect her true appearance as an old woman. She tries to use a magic ritual that involves turning young girls into dogs and cutting out their tongues in order to make her youth and beauty real. In the end, a mirror is used to break her power which saves the girls and causes time to return to her and everything she owns including her store. The storyteller's ending line says it all:

Vain Sorceress / int_86aff994	comment	Trakeena from Power Rangers Lost Galaxy was like this in the first half of the series; in one episode, she ordered the Monster of the Week to steal the beauty from the female inhabitants of Terra Venture to enhance her own. While that failed plot seemed like a one-shot deal, the conclusion of the episode quickly turned this into a major plot point, when her father Scorpius offered her a cocoon that would increase her powers exponentially through evolution - but cause her to shed her human form. Trakeena wasn't willing to make that trade and ran away rather than do it. Eventually, however, after Taking a Level in Badass on her own (thanks in part to Villimax) she dropped this attitude and took over after Scorpius's death, and eventually did use the thing when facing defeat (unfortunately, while she was no longer vain after that, it pretty much cost her every bit of humanity she ever might have had, making her a cold-blooded demon who was worse than ever — to be fair, Deviot had, as a last resort, dragged Trakeena into the cocoon beforehand and wound up merging with her, making her far more evil that she'd been prior).

She consumed the dreams of the young and happy to stay beautiful because she caught a glimpse of her ugly future self in her Magic Mirror and was terrified. In the anime, this was partially an after-effect of said Magic Mirror putting the whammy on her. She started out as a vain yet mostly naive queen who totally lost it when the mirror showed her not only her ugly future self, but how everyone would abandon her when she lost her beauty. By the end of Super S she was crazy and vain enough to choose being imprisoned in said mirror than losing her good looks until Sailor Galaxia released her. The Ayakashi Sisters were The Psycho Rangers of the R Season, and to remark on such a role they were always taunting each other about not looking young (the eldest sister, Petz, was the most usual butt of jokes) and applying make-up to their pretty faces when off-duty. They're actually more heroic than the standard and ultimately have Heel Face Turns, becoming the owners of a small make-up store in the process. To a smaller degree, also Green Esmeraude.

Unfortunately, the spell didn't keep her from aging. Several centuries later, she's a bedridden old crone who sends out a hypnotized henchman to kidnap twelve young girls from a nearby village to prepare a ritual that will restore her beauty at the cost of the girls' lives. Her eternally-youthful reflection in a magic mirror is key to putting other people under her power.

Vain Sorceress / int_920bdb7c	comment	Mottom from Kill Six Billion Demons uses magical peaches to temporarily reverse her aging and make herself young and beautiful (or revert back to a child) depending on how much of it she eats at a time. She never goes out in public without turning herself young, as she feels her role as queen depends on her remaining ever-young and beautiful in front of her subjects. True to form, her magic is Powered by a Forsaken Child: The peaches are grown from a tree that sprouted from the corpse of her murdered husband, and requires constant Human Sacrifice of virgins to keep producing fruit. Mottom goes through dozens of young women every single time she regresses her age.

And if you're female, she taunts you and then tells you you'll get wrinkles if you frown. Averted in the same game by the great witch Mango, who is 120 years old and entitled "The Great and Beautiful", even though she looks like any other old witch in the game. So allegedly that Deneb's "death quote" in both Tactics Ogre games is more irritation than despair, and you can have her possess suitable hosts multiple times after dying in Tactic Ogre: Knight of Lodis.

Pointedly, she does not try to hide the wings that mark her as a demon. Ravel, on the other hand, is a subversion; she keeps her ancient, shriveled hag appearance despite the fact that changing her looks is as easy as breathing to her. She does assume the appearances of your female companions to tempt you and she reveals that she actually was three specific people you encountered at certain places in the Hive but resumes her old self after that. The especially interesting thing about Ravel is that while she does have extensive shapeshifting powers when she assumes the appearances of Grace and Annah it's only an illusion that doesn't extend past sight, as is revealed when she kisses you. Maybe she's making a comment on the nature of beauty.

It's not even merely natural aging; if she goes too long without a Life Energy fix, she starts to revert to her true age — roughly seventeen thousand years old. Dust to dust indeed. Danielle Moonstar once discovered Selene's deepest fear was growing old and ugly... and that with every passing century the gorgeous woman is finding it more and more difficult to keep herself so very young and lovely... It's implied that her Good Counterpart (or at least Less Evil Counterpart) Emma Frost uses her psychic powers to appear slightly more beautiful than she already is. Considering she's one of the few comic book characters to admit to plastic surgery this is certainly plausible, though with her looks it doesn't take too much effort to appear stunning.

Then her little brother Myouren died and Byakuren, horrified by the reality of growing old and dying, sold her humanity to become a Magician youkai herself so that she would remain young and beautiful forever. To this day, while she's still an All-Loving Hero to youkai, she specializes in body-enhancement spells. Akyuu also notes that magician-immortality doesn't come with any de-aging, so Byakuren's first act upon becoming a youkai was to grant herself youth out of vanity.

Vain Sorceress / int_bff01809	comment	Warhammer: The Hag Queens of the Dark Elves, notably Morathi and Hellebron, who regularly bathe in blood to keep their eternal youth. Particularly relevant for Hellebron, who's only able to get a few days of youth every year. Morathi, on the other hand, invented the process and retains her beauty at all times. The Hag Queens are a bit of a borderline case in that, except Morathi, they're not actually sorceresses, but rather frenzied blood cultists who worship a god of warfare and murder. In fact, they actually despise magic users — Morathi is just so powerful and influential she can flout the rules as she pleases. They still get the magical benefits of bloodbath-renewed youth, though, and the actual sorceresses of the Dark Elves play the trope straight as an arrow. In some versions of the background, Neferata stole Nagash's elixir of immortality to maintain her youth and beauty. A botched formula gave her her wish but also turned her into the first vampire. Her progeny, the Lahmian vampire bloodline, also qualify for the trope. A rare male example is to be had in Sigvald the Magnificent, although his vanity is preserved chiefly by being the spoiled favourite of an indulgent dark god, rather than by his own magic. Narcissistic vanity and (justified) arrogance is pretty much all there is to Sigvald, he died when a battle had left him with a scar, and he was so distracted (despite the scar being temporary) that he didn't notice the troll king sneaking up on him.

The subversion stems from the fact that she reveals she was ALWAYS capable of making this change, but never wanted to — in fact, she's incredibly annoyed by her youth and just wants to go back to being old.

When her father tries to get her into an Arranged Marriage, she vehemently opposes it because she's afraid that she would no longer be able to visit her Wicked Witch mentor and thus lose her beauty.

Vain Sorceress / int_d620c56f	comment	Sophia Leigh from Tomb Raider III is a modernized version. She's Really 700 Years Old, a beauty-obsessed owner of a cosmetics company and of a magic sceptre, powered by a neatly-carved piece of Magic Meteor. It's implied that she uses that sceptre to meddle with her company's experiments, and picks the best results for herself. In the script, she's described as "a woman who pays much attention to her looks".

Vain Sorceress / int_d7aab7c1	comment	In the anime, this was partially an after-effect of said Magic Mirror putting the whammy on her. She started out as a vain yet mostly naive queen who totally lost it when the mirror showed her not only her ugly future self, but how everyone would abandon her when she lost her beauty. By the end of Super S she was crazy and vain enough to choose being imprisoned in said mirror than losing her good looks until Sailor Galaxia released her.

Magister Negi Magi normally has the appearance of a 10-year old girl (being a vampire, she doesn't age), but switches to a sexy adult woman form if she wants to be taken seriously - at least by adults - or wishes to flaunt her adult form's sex appeal (particularly to 10-year-old Negi, and often while naked; she seems to like seeing his flustered and embarrassed reaction).

Vain Sorceress / int_f081d1b	comment	Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics had an episode, "The Crystal Ball", where an evil witch murdered a beautiful woman and stole her identity. To keep herself beautiful and young, she keeps a beautiful princess trapped in her castle, and performed an unholy ritual every night where she bites into her neck and drains her of her lifeforce, and leaves her a rotting corpse. For reasons unexplained, the princess revives within a matter of seconds after the ritual is performed. When the murdered woman's sons find out what is going on, she turns two of them into animals, but the youngest escapes and is able to destroy her. In the English and Hebrew Dub, the scenes with the biting were removed, and she simply switches ages with the princess. This is actually closer to the original story. The Spanish changed it to drinking her youth but showed the biting.
