Anime features many treatments of the Wise Woman archetype.
Many Wise Women are Demi-Goddesses:
Examples:
Enma Ai from Jigoku Shoujo;
Vanilla from Galaxy Angel;
(arguably) both Kyouka and Gekka from Kyouran Kazoku Nikki;
Many Wise Women are Sybils and Clairvoyants:
Examples:
Yin from Darker Than Black;
Hinoto from X/1999;
Felli from Chrome Shelled Regios;
Many Wise Women have a Childlike Emotional Aspect:
Examples:
Lain from Serial Experiments Lain;
(arguably) Robin from Witch Hunter Robin;
Kyouka-sama from Kyouran Kazoku Nikki;
Some Wise Women are Superheroic:
Examples:
Miyu from Vampire Princess Miyu;
Ruri Hoshino from Nadeisco;
Felli from Chrome Shelled Regios;
Yuki from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya;
Some Wise Women are Queens and Commanders:
Teletha from Full Metal Panic;
Some Wise Women are Mysterious or Amnesiac Femmes Fatales:
Examples:
Miharu from Gasaraki;
A few Wise Women are Childish Gadgeteers:
Examples:
Ed from Cowboy Bebop;
Shishidou Sakura from Sora Wa Kakeru Shoujo;
Note that just being a witch does not make a character a wise woman:
Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service did NOT know much;
Arisu from Magical Girl Squad Arisu did NOT know much;
(arguably) Robin from Witch Hunter Robin did not know enough;
Note that just being a goddess does not make a character a wise woman:
(In the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) Yuki is clearly a wise woman, and Haruhi is clearly ignorant;
