The only thing that's carried over is their FatAndSkinny design, and even that's downplayed as Hilda is more pleasantly plump than actually fat.
* FatAndSkinny: Zelda is skinny and Hilda is plump if not outright fat. Which is of course the reverse of their classic comics incarnation, where Hilda was the skinny one and Zelda the fat one.
* GranolaGirl: They can come across as this, Zelda especially.
* SiblingYinYang: Not the most pronounced example of the trope, since they seem to be on the same page more often than not, but still present in that Zelda is a somewhat aloof and uptight [[TheStoic Stoic]] while Hilda is more of an easygoing BigFun aunt.

* CatsAreMean: Not only completely on board with Sabrina humiliating and ruining Jughead's day; he's if possible more gung-ho about it than she is. And he reveals a somewhat bloodthirsty streak when she's about to break out the big magic:
-->'''Salem:''' I'm all for it, Sabrina, but... you know witches aren't allowed to reveal themselves to the mortal world.\\
'''Sabrina:''' True, but there is ''one'' way we can do that and not break the rules. [[AreYouPonderingWhatImPondering Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Salem?]] \\
'''Salem:''' Definitely.\\
'''Sabrina:''' Amnesia spell!\\
'''Salem:''' Ensuring that there are no survivors! ...I mean, amnesia spell!\\
'''Sabrina:''' ''Salem!''\\
'''Salem:''' I'm just sayin'.
* CatsAreSnarkers: Reacts to Sabrina's antics with dripping sarcasm.
* CoolCat: As always, though Sabrina calls him out for pretending he's fancier than he really is.
-->'''Salem:''' Oh, child, if only thou hadst seen what I hadst seen.\\
'''Sabrina:''' ''Hadst''? Don't pretend to be fancy, Salem. You may have been fancy once, but you're just a cat now.\\
'''Salem:''' I'm still fancy.
* DependingOnTheArtist: In the ''Jughead'' comic he's depicted as a black-and-white tuxedo cat, much like his classic incarnation. I the ''Sabrina'' comic he's pure black, like he was in the TV series.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Doesn't make a proper appearance in the ''Jughead'' comic until issue 10, but appears on the cover of issue 9.
* HypercompetentSidekick: Surprisingly enough. He seems to have it more together than Sabrina does. When she gets into all sorts of awkward situations trying to distract Jughead and Reggie from her magic use, Salem just goes for the simple tactics: He gets Hot Dog to chase him, and that provides all the distraction they need.
* NonhumanSidekick: To Sabrina, as per usual.
* OnlySaneMan: Certainly views himself as this, though he doesn't particularly ''enjoy'' being the voice of reason.
-->'''Salem:''' This is penance. This is fate getting me back for all I put uncle Mort through.
