Which Sounds Better, "Fire Witch" or "Flame Witch?"

[DJ_Rhaposdy]

I've been reading over my story Former Isekai Hero was Corrupted by His Overpowerdness and Now the People Need Me, a Prince of This World, to Defeat His and Save our Land and found a bit of a continuity error in the nickname for one of my characters, a powerful fire mage. I had originally named her the Fire Witch after a character in a King Crimson song, but when renaming the chapters, I called her the Flame Witch because I think its more phonetically pleasing. For the sake of continuity, I fixed the error and made her the Fire Witch. However, I thought I'd get a second, third, fourth, and maybe even a fifth opinion.

Let me know what you think! Should I keep her as the Fire Witch, or should I change it back to the Flame Witch? Oooor, should I change it to a different name. The story has a German naming convention, so I'm open to suggestions if it suits the character better.


Her real name is Gertrude von Beltzer. Here's an idea of what she looks like:

As the Fire/Flame Witch

Former Isekai Hero was Corrupted by His Over-Poweredness, and Now the People Need Me, a Prince of this World, to Defeat Him and Save Our Land

That boy was supposed to save our world from the wrath of the Demon King. And while the King is dead, an even worse threat has arisen: the boy himself! I don't know how he came to this world, but I'm going to be the one to take him out...

Fire Witch.

I've always been a fan of pyromancer.

Witch of Embers
Cinder Witch
Inferno Witch

I'd go with fire witch because I try to write in a way anyone can understand, though I prefer flame witch out of the two. Pyromancer is another good one, as are both Witch of Embers and Cinder Witch. Could also go with Witch of Conflagration, Burning One, Reactive Witch, Flaming Lady, etc.

Lots of ways you could put it depending on both how direct you want it, and what level of language you are aiming for. Additionally, consider how much affinity they have - you could have ash/ashen, ember, candlelight, torch, campfire, bonfire, wildfire. Perhaps instead of witch you could use servant, mistress, lady, queen, empress.

If you want impressive, consider something such as Empress of the Eternal Conflagration. If you want more humble, something along the lines of Lady of Flame or Candlelight Witch might be better.

Fire Witch has snark potential to be called Fire Bitch.

Just comes with the territory. Flame Bitch doesnt have that wickedly delightful a ring to it.

That is true but it can be changed to flame wench which brings other things to mind.

 

[DJ_Rhaposdy]

Witch of Embers
Cinder Witch
Inferno Witch

Ooh! I like those names! Especially Witch of Embers, which I might change to Ember Witch or Witch of the Ember.

Magic Arsonist

That is definitely the most accurate to what Gertrude does in the story.

So many good suggestions! Lady of the Flame may be a name she's called when she's not acting as an antagonist.

I was just thinking about calling her something like that! The protagonist, Anno, is too polite to call her that, but I have a few characters with a crasser sense of humor.

I'm gonna go with the flamed bitch. I mean Flame Witch.

But if you're collecting name ideas, here are a few: Witch of Conflagration, Wildfire Witch, Blazing Witch, Tsundere, Ashen Witch, Pyro Witch.
Burning Witch might also work unless Witches are already burned in-lore. Might make things confusing otherwise.

Gotta love how you threw in Tsundere right in the middle of such good suggestions! As far as lore goes. As of now, witches are not burned, just disliked. The word is used as an insult for mages.

 

[sanitylimited]

hot witch.
cold fire is far too comon. thus you need a less subtle name

 

[Lloyd]

Flame Witch

 

[Sola-sama]

Witch of Purgatory
Purgatory Witch
Blazing Heaven Witch (refer to a witch whom have once burned the very heavens)

Don't forget there is a difference between being called The Fire Witch and the Fire Witch - I think one is a title and one is a name?

How about Feuerhexe it's just fire witch in German but it looks rad.
