She's also less of an IneptMage, due to having had her powers since childhood, and likely due to animation allowing for more freedom.



* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Chloe

* HeterosexualLifePartners: With ChloeChloe, so much so that one episode involving them falling out has a situation paralleling a DivorceAssetsConflict.



* BadassAdorable: She's not afraid to go along with Sabrina's magic and she will stick it out until the end. She even stood up to Gem in the halloween episode.

* DeadpanSnarker: She often rivals Salem in the snarking department.
* EveryoneIsChristianAtChristmas: Lampshaded. Chloe's father dresses up as Santa every Christmas and has Chloe dress as an elf. Gem wonders why, since their family celebrates Kwanza.



* InformedDeformity: Sabrina under the influence of BrutalHonesty says that Chloe's ass will "look huge" in her blue dress. She looks just as slender as the other characters.
* LesserStar: In "Witchy Grrls" she becomes this of the Flavour Babes, as the only non-Spellman member, and playing the French horn rather than the showier instruments.



%%* SassyBlackGirl

%%* SassyBlackGirl* SassyBlackGirl: Of the OnlySaneMan variant, though she has some sass that comes out such as when Sabrina (thanks to magic) disses her dancing.
--> "May I suggest that when you get home, you take a looooooooooooooong nap, grumpy!"



* TokenBlackFriend: She does have some importance as Sabrina's SecretKeeper and, while she is primarily there as the best friend and doesn't get episodes to herself, the former allows her to take part in adventures and occasionally save the day (such as in "Wiccan of the Sea") and we do meet her father and learn other things about her.



%%* SealedEvilInACan



* SealedEvilInACan: While not necessarily 'evil', he is framed as very sinister.

** This happens in the show itself within the episode "Witch Switch". Sabrina changes lives with Gem, not realising that this would give the latter her magic. She turned Hilda and Zelda to stone, made Harvey her mindless slave and has a NearVillainVictory.

Added DiffLines:

* EatingTheEyeCandy: In "At the Hop", she happily declares that Salem's human form is hot.
* ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow: The purple eyeshadow she wears indicates she's not to be trifled with.
* GoodIsNotSoft: While she's not evil, she has a temper and likes to dish out CoolAndUnusualPunishment to Hilda and Zelda - one episode has them initially assuming that Salem's fleas are just her casting an itching spell on them to be a troll.
* HiddenDepths: On spending a day in Sabrina's life, she admits that being a teenager is hard and "I don't know how you do it".


Added DiffLines:

* PurpleIsPowerful: Although more prominent on her second design, her first still has her magic being purple and her face turns that colour when she's angry, as well as having a purple sash on her costume.
* SameCharacterButDifferent: She is reintroduced in the ''Friends Forever'' movie with a new design, an American accent and something of a nicer personality.
* UnexplainedAccent: She has an English accent that's apparently specific to a region of the Netherworld.

* TheBadGuyWins: "Picture Perfect" ends with Sabrina winning the student of the year award, but then giving it up by admitting she cheated. Instead Gem wins, despite her having also cheated. However, in that episode Gem's cheating (using her money to make herself look good) was not as bad as Sabrina's cheating (using magic to make her rival look bad), that's why Sabrina feels guilty and lets Gem win at the end. And it didn't matter much, because [[MeaninglessVillainVictory nobody stuck around to listen to Gem speech]] anyway.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He disappears in ''Sabrina's Secret Life'' with no explanation. However, one could guess that he left because by then, Hilda and Zelda were legally adults at that point, and didn't serve a purpose anymore. The 35th issue of the 2000 comics reveal that Quigley moved to Ireland after he inherited a castle that was haunted by his ancestor there. He decided to live there and this is where he fell in love with a gardener.
