Like every species, there are good and bad in all of us, but witches - in the case of fairytales - are evil, or wicked. These characters are often linked to evil magic, broomsticks and a hideous cackle-type laugh - just like the wicked witch in 'The Wizard of Oz'.
Good characters with magical powers are often called 'fairy/fairies(pl)'. As in 'Cinderella', the fairy godmother came to her rescue. Also, in 'The Sleeping Beauty' the three fairies took care of the princess.
All of the above are common names for women with magical powers.
Witches are generally thought of as evil and bad in different cultures, whereas fairies are considered good and friendly.
'She elves' are the female elves in JRR Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings.
A woman with magic powers is referred to as a sorceress, while a man is a sorcerer. A witch is always a woman, while a man is a wizard. Witches are often associated with evil, therefore bad. But there are good witches too. One must specify, "she was a good witch". In the story of Cinderella, the good witch was referred to as Cinderella's "fairy god mother". A fairy god mother is an older term, not used much more, Nowadays we say witch or sorceress. A witch is usually evil, but not always and a sorceress just refers to female with magical powers, neither good or evil.
魔力を持った女性のことはsorceressと言います。男性の場合はsorcererになります。
witchは常に女性で、男性はwizardと言います。witchは悪と結び付けられることが多いです。ただ、良いwitchもいます。"She was a good witch"（彼女は良い魔女だった）のようにはっきりと言わないといけません。
シンデレラでは、良い魔女は、シンデレラの "fairy god mother"（妖精のゴッドマザー）と表されました。fairy god motherはどちらかと言うと古い表現で、今はあまり使われません。現在は、witch又はsorceressと言います。witchは、悪いのが普通ですが、そうでない場合もあります。sorceressは魔力を持った女性を表し、良くも悪くもありません。
A woman/girl who has magical powers is appropriately called a 'witch'. The magical powers practiced by witches are mostly evil. What witches practice is called witchcraft. Witches usually take pleasure in bewitching other people. They use their magical powers to make other people suffer seriously. That makes them happy. A witch can also be referred to as a sorceress.
So, you may say to someone:
Please don't annoy that woman because she is a witch and she can bewitch you.
or
I don't think that girl will find a husband because she is a witch and men fear her.
or
There are stories that the sorceress flies around on a broomstick at night wearing a black cloak and a pointed hat.
魔力を持つ女性は、'witch'（魔女）と言います。'witch' が使う魔力は、大半が邪悪です。'witch' がすることは 'witchcraft'（魔術）と呼ばれます。
