Cathy is a mysterious talking crystal ball owned by the Headmaster of the magic school in Witchy Precure!. She has a unique personality, often speaking in polite language, but is also whimsical and a little prideful. Cathy acts as a trusted advisor to the Headmaster and sometimes helps Mirai Asahina and Liko Izayoi with advice and fortune-telling. Despite her wisdom, her predictions are usually vague and hard to understand, sometimes even for herself! She sometimes fusses or complains when the Headmaster is not around, and has a love-hate relationship with the Head Teacher. Cathy’s form will even change along with the Headmaster—when he turns old, so does she, and when he becomes young again, her appearance also returns to normal. She can appear in multiple crystal balls at once, making her an important link between characters. Cathy’s history with the Headmaster goes back hundreds of years, making her a long-lasting and curious character in the story.
Cathy appears inside a crystal ball, where the silhouette of a female witch is visible.
She can float and move on her own, not just sit still.
When dusty, she coughs; when it’s hot or cold, she reacts to the temperature, showing very human-like behaviors.
If the Headmaster becomes old, Cathy’s projected face also gains wrinkles and looks older.
When he becomes young, her reflected image becomes young again.
Cathy speaks politely and acts as a good advisor.
She is whimsical, sometimes proud and can be a little sarcastic, especially with people she doesn’t get along with, like the Head Teacher.
Even though she gives advice, she tends to complain when asked to do tough or long fortune-telling tasks.
When she’s in a good mood or likes the people asking, Cathy puts extra effort into her fortunes—though she can still be a bit grumpy about it.
She is playful and sometimes shows a cheeky side by making jokes or teasing others.
Cathy is the spirit inside the crystal ball owned by the Headmaster.
Her real name is Cathy, but most characters just call her “Miss Crystal.”
Only the Headmaster, who seems to have known her for a very long time, calls her by her real name.
She has been with the Headmaster since his youth, and there is a hint that she has been around as long as he has—hundreds to thousands of years.
Cathy can give predictions about the future, but her forecasts are always written poetically and are very unclear.
Even she does not always know what her predictions mean.
Her powers are independent—the skill of the user does not matter. Only Cathy determines the result.
Doing fortune-telling takes effort for her, and the bigger the question, the longer and harder it is.
Cathy can communicate through several crystal balls, acting as a communication device like a magical phone. All the crystal balls share the same mind—her own—so she can only talk to one group at a time.
- Headmaster: Cathy’s closest and oldest companion. She supports him and gives him advice, but also nags or jokes with him. Their fates are somewhat linked, as seen when they both grow old or young together.
- Head Teacher: Cathy does not get along with the Head Teacher. She often teases her, sometimes using sharp words.
- Mirai Asahina and Liko Izayoi: Cathy advises them and helps them with fortune-telling or advice, especially with their Linkle Stones.
- Other users: Other crystal balls, like the one hidden in a trunk given to Liko Izayoi, allow Cathy to communicate with others far away.
Cathy is not just a one-time character—she exists inside every magic crystal ball in the story.
When one group is using a crystal ball to talk to her, other calls go unanswered.
Cathy’s real name was revealed in Episode 11, but fans found out even earlier from toy commercials.
She is used as a toy by Bandai, and the toy lights up with her silhouette when turned on.
Cathy knows stories from the Headmaster’s youth, proving she has known him since long ago.
