TheWitch (Japanese:魔女Witch) is amagicalclass which originated inFire Emblem Gaiden. In addition to possessing formidable prowess as an offensive magical class with their highmagic stats, Witches are one of two classes to possessTeleportation, which allows them to teleport themselves somewhere else on the map before, inGaiden at least, continuing on to perform another action. InGaiden, this ability effectively gives them infinite movement, as their self-warping ability has unlimited range.
The Witch class is exclusive to female units. InGaiden, it is an enemy-exclusive variant of theMage class, and while there are two recruitable Witches,Sonya andDelthea, both their classes change to Mage upon recruitment. InFates, Witches return as a playable class, and any female unit is able toreclass to Witch by using aWitch's Mark, which is obtained from theDLC chapterWitches' Trial.

Trivia
- InGaiden, Witches use the same battle and map sprites as femaleMages, and are internally the same class as them; whether a unit is a Mage or a Witch is determined by its affiliation.
- The appearance of generic Witches inFates looks similiar toMarla andHestia.
- While most Witches inEchoes: Shadows of Valentia have access to theTeleportation skill, it actually appears as a personal skill, rather than a class skill, and certain Witches, such asMarla andHestia, lack the skill. This is further proven as if a player edits the game to make their characters Witches, the skill won't appear.
