Alright, so 'Which Witch is Which?' – that's the first book in the W.I.T.C.H. graphic novel series, right? The main five are Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin. Will's the new girl who becomes the Heart of Candracar and basically their leader; she's got the power over energy. Irma handles water and is the funny one, Taranee's the smart, fire-wielding one who's a bit shy, Cornelia has earth and air (wait, is that right? I think she's earth and later gets air? Or was it just earth? Anyway, she's the fashionable, slightly haughty one), and Hay Lin is the artistic one with air powers and a super supportive grandma. The villain in that first arc is definitely Nerissa, the former Guardian who's trying to break free. You also have Matt, Will's crush, and the guys from the other side, like Caleb and... ugh, my memory's fuzzy on the boys' details. The plot kicks off because Will moves to Heatherfield and the powers basically find her, pulling the whole group together to stop Nerissa's return. It's very much an origin story, so the character dynamics are still getting established, but you see their personalities clash and start to mesh.
I always found it interesting how the powers reflected their personalities so directly – Will's uncertainty about leadership mirrored in her struggle to control the Heart, Cornelia's need for control with earth, Hay Lin's free spirit with air. The comic art really sells their distinct looks, too.
