Summary

Female leads are all around themanhwa fantasy genre, and some of them have tremendously powerful skills. That said,female manhwa characters with magic powersare a little bit hard to find, but in a genre plagued with male protagonists, these ladies shine like the sun, using their skills to enchant and destroy their foes, proving that witches and female magicians rock as much as wizards and warlocks.

Some of themost powerful female magic users in manhwahave access to abilities that would make readers think twice before facing them in a duel. Some of them even look harmless but hide a mysterious power behind their seemingly cute appearance, while others are masters of their own armies or the best students of their academy.

Her attitude changes drastically when she fights, andshe also exhibits some dragon-like characteristicsthat are incredibly suspicious. In battle, she exhibits typical dragon-like abilities: flight, spitting fire, and over-the-norm magic manipulation.

She is an Elementalist and Airen’s teacher in the mystical arts, but she is also her dearest friend and companion. Though she most of the time resembles a harmless pet, she can get really serious and fast when Airen faces danger. It would be foolish to try to harm him in her presence, since her demeanor quickly shifts from a cute companion to an overprotective wild beast at the snap of a finger. It remains to be seen if she is truly a dragon orjust an overpowered shapeshifting cat.
