* TheSlacker: Near all his early appearances are just him hanging around his car and playing on his keytar. He has aspirations of being a musician and he gets better with his playing as seen in "Starcushed". But doesn't seem to bother putting in any more effort than really needed and his lackadaisical attitude eventually tip off Star that he's all looks and no brains. The fact that he drops out of high school and works at a fast food joint later in the show implies that, unless he realizes he truly needs an education, he isn't going to get far in life.

*{{Adorkable}}: Her interactions AdultsAreUseless: Played with. They're generally absent from Marco's life and as such do very little to keep him safe from his and Star's dangerous adventures. They also remain ignorant of the very clear indications that Miss Heinous wants Marco dead and are mostly concerned with appeasing her when she shows up at their house so that they can prepare for dinner with their cool neighbors. However, they do take steps to help rescue Marco when they learn that he's been kidnapped in "Storm the Castle", and after learning about him starting a princess rebellion and making enemies who threaten his and Star's lives, they decide to be more actively involved. In Season 3, Angie starts to address Marco's issue with not having Star around, and shows real concern that the way Marco is conducting himself after returning from Mewni isn't healthy.

* JustTheWayYouAre: In "Naysaya", she agrees to go to the movies with Marco despite him having just spent hours telling her all of his most pathetic, vulnerable insecurities. In "Bon Bon the Birthday Clown", she recounts this and Marco's many other embarrassing, {{Adorkable}} moments when she's explaining that she admires how much he [[TheDeterminator manages to keep going on]] despite them.
* LoveEpiphany: As depicted in ''[[AllThereInTheManual Star and Marco's Guide to Mastering Every Dimension]]'', the moment when Jackie realized that she reciprocates Marco's crush on her was during Star's interview with her about it.
* LoveRevelationEpiphany: After Marco is forced to admit his crush on her in "Sleepover", Jackie admits she doesn't know how she feels about her previous crush anymore. In "Naysaya", she invites him to go see a movie with her, and the episode "Bon Bon The Birthday Clown" has Jackie asking him out on a date.
* MellowFellow: "Easygoing" seems to be her default mood. In ''Star and Marco's Guide to Mastering Every Dimension'', Star calls her "surprisingly alert for someone who looks like she just woke up."
* {{Motifs}}: Jackie has several connections with water such as her sea green eyes, blue hair stripe, sea shell necklace and sea foam green dress in "Bon Bon the Birthday Clown". According to concept art, she was planned to appear in "Hungry Larry" dressed as a mermaid. When she breaks up with Marco, it's on the piers at the seaside.
* NiceGirl: Jackie is likable, easy-going, patient and understanding. When Marco accidentally breaks her skateboard in "Cheer Up, Star", she is clearly upset, but awkwardly rides away on the front half of the board after telling Marco it's okay rather than get angry. She takes the whole "Naysaya" incident very well, fetching paper towels for Marco after he asks for them in the most awkward way, and listens to a ''long'' list of embarrassing confessions without judgement. Even her breakup speech to him in "Sophomore Slump" is surprisingly calm.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Not completely, but her eyes are drawn differently to everyone else's and have more definition in the irises.
* NoodleIncident: In "Just Friends", while returning the baby ducklings to their mother in the creek, Star and Jackie both mention and bond over having lived in that same creek at some point. While Star's story is a ContinuityNod to when she went on the lam as a fugitive in "Star vs. Echo Creek", the details of Jackie's story and why she was living in the creek are not explained.
* ObliviousToLove: She didn't know about Marco's obvious crush on her until he confesses it in "Sleepover". ''[[AllthereInTheManual Star and Marco's Guide to Mastering Every Dimension]]'' has her suggest in an interview with Star that she was always aware of it on some level, but didn't really know for certain until "Sleepover".

* RelationshipUpgrade: In "Bon Bon The Birthday Clown", she asks Marco out on a date, where they end up kissing.
* RomanticFalseLead: She was Marco's target of affections throughout Seasons 1 and 2, with both getting together at the end of the latter while Star grew increasingly jealous. They break up shortly after the start of Season 3.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: In Season 1, Jackie doesn't have much of a role besides being the girl Marco's crushing on. This is even lampshaded by Marco in the episode "Sleepover", when he admits he never truly to got know Jackie beyond the image of her he built up, but he would like to try. Jackie is given more fleshed-out characterization from that point forward.
* ShesGotLegs: Her legs are noticeably curvier in comparison to other female classmates. "Freeze Day" reveals that they weren't as muscular in the past. It might be a result of her skateboarding.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan:
** She developed a crush on some dude at skate camp because he was a NiceGuy.
** She proceeded to show interest in Marco for the same reason, as the above mentioned crush -- Marco's an honest NiceGuy who always tries his hardest.
* SkunkStripe: A sea-foam green one, since it's her favorite color.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS:
** In "Freeze Day", a glimpse of Marco's childhood shows a gold star chart with Jackie's name spelled as "Jakie", though this could simply be attributed to a toddler's misspelling.
** A more complicated example would be the placement of the hyphen in her full name. In "Naysaya", Marco mentions that he filled a notebook with his first name and her last name because he couldn't decide between "Marco Diaz Lynn-Thomas" or "Marco Lynn-Thomas Diaz", implying that her last name is "Lynn-Thomas". However, the ''[[AllThereInTheScript Star and Marco's Guide to Mastering Every Dimension]]'' book gives her full name as "Jackie-Lynn Thomas" and calls her "Jackie-Lynn" multiple times, implying that this is her first name. Considering that it's never mentioned ''when'' Marco filled that notebook, and the fact that even up to the present day he assumed that her drawing of a green watermelon was of the moon, it could be possible that her full name is properly spelled "Jackie-Lynn Thomas" and Marco simply didn't know at the time that the Lynn was not part of her last name.
* SymbolMotifClothing: She always wears a seashell necklace and has shown multiple times to have connotations with water, such as her dress in "Bon Bon The Birthday Clown" looking like the ocean (according to Star), and in "Hungry Larry" Jackie was originally planned to make an appearance in the episode dressed as a mermaid. On a minor note, her green eyes and blue hair stripe might also be a connection to water.
* TrouserSpace: She inexplicably managed to have a skateboard and two helmets hidden under her dress during her date with Marco. And when invited to join Star and Marco at a Love Sentence concert, she somehow has ''three'' skateboards hidden... somewhere. Plus an extra helmet for Marco (presumably only refraining from pulling a third helmet out because Star magic-ed up one for herself).
* TwoFirstNames: Her last name Thomas is also a male given name.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: Her eyes are drawn with more detail than most characters', and in ''Star and Marco's Guide to Mastering Every Dimension'', Star says she has the second most beautiful eyes in Echo Creek Academy (first most beautiful being Oskar's).
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: [[AllThereInTheManual According to]] ''Star and Marco's Guide to Mastering Every Dimension'', that seagreen streak in her otherwise blonde hair is natural. Although it could be a case of UnreliableNarrator from part of Star, considering that in "Freeze Day" it's shown that Jackie didn't always have it.

** In "Starcrushed", her interactions with her new boyfriend Marco are noticeably goofier than her usual relaxed demeanor, showing a silly side that she previously kept more to herself.

Changed line(s) 81,95 (click to see context) from:
* AllThereInTheScript: ''Star and Marco's Guide to Mastering Every Dimension'' reveals their last names and Dolittle and O'durguson, respectively.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Alfonzo's name, dark skin, and accent imply that he may be Hispanic.
* CasanovaWannabe: Ferguson thinks he's a ladies man, but he's not.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Issue 4 of the comics gives them one, with them following Star and Marco on an adventure again and getting a fairly prominent role. It also explains what they've been up to since Star stopped taking them on adventures with her and Marco (Fooling around with her stuff while she and Marco are out and walking the Laser Puppies.)
* DemotedToExtra: They only appear as background characters in the second season. Janna more or less takes over their role as the additional human that tags along on Star and Marco's adventures. This flat-out becomes the subject of a joke in "Collateral Damage" where Star calls on them in a crowd, saying that she hasn't talked to them all year but they're still always in the background doing their thing. We then only see their waving arms sticking out of the crowd. This was mostly due to Daron Nefcy wanting to use them as little as possible admitting that she didn't like them and that the only reason why they were added in the first place was due to [[ExecutiveMeddling the insistence from Disney]] to give Marco male friends. They were said to have bigger parts in Season 3, but this ultimately amounted to them appearing only once in "Sophomore Slump" with their appearance essentially serving as their proper sendoff. Still, it was more attention than what they'd received in the season prior.
* FatAndSkinny: Alfonzo's the skinny to Ferguson's fat.
* InterspeciesRomance: In "Pixtopia", Ferguson fell for (and almost married) the Pixie Empress. Later Alfonzo marries her instead.
* TheLoad: The two are thoroughly useless. Star stopped taking them on adventures due to this.
* NonActionGuy: They are both utterly useless in fights.
* OnlyFriend: In "School Spirit", Marco [[AngerBornOfWorry angrily]] tells Ferguson that his TooDumbToLive behavior is why he only has two friends. With the ''Deep Trouble'' comics showing that Star has [[WeUsedToBeFriends stopped considering them friends]] by some point prior to Season 2.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Ferguson.
* Oireland: Ferguson might be from there, as he has red hair, green eyes, freckles and a last name that starts with "O'".
* ThoseTwoGuys: Commonly seen together.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: The ''Deep Trouble'' comics show that a falling out with Star was the in-universe reason for them being DemotedToExtra in Season 2 -- Star stopped taking them with her and Marco on adventures because of their immature behavior. She gets even more reason to distance herself from them when she finds out that they've been breaking into her room and screwing around with her stuff, and she speaks of them rather disdainfully even before learning about that. Star's offhand line about how Marco would still be hanging out with them [[ItMakesSenseInContext if she were never born]] implies that Marco spends much less time with them. He doesn't look too happy to see that they've been breaking into his house to raid Star's room either. Finally [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] when the episode "Sophomore Slump" reveals that Marco is still friends with them and hangs around them.

We then only see their waving arms sticking out of the crowd. This was mostly due to Daron Nefcy wanting to use them as little as possible admitting that she didn't like them and that the only reason why they were added in the first place was due to [[ExecutiveMeddling the insistence from Disney]] to give Marco male friends.

to:
* AllAmazonsWantHercules: {{Adorkable}}: Her interactions with Marco when they're dating.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Jackie-Lynn has tan skin that is similar to Marco's.
* AmicableExes: With Marco. They start dating in "Bon Bon the Birthday Clown", but Jackie breaks up with him because she knew he wanted to be on Mewni. When they meet up again in "Britta's Tacos", Marco is afraid that he was horrible boyfriend to her, but she reassures him that he was a "standard boyfriend" and that they just didn't work. At the end of the episode, Jackie [[ShipperOnDeck advises]] him to go after Star while Marco smiles at her and Chloe skating off together while holding hands.
* BiTheWay: She wasvery interested in Ludo's muscular minotaur henchman, although a relationship with Marco that lasted until the early Season 3, but in Season 4, [[spoiler:she hangs with girl named Chloè that she met in France, and she is [[https://twitter.com/colorpulp/status/1122951431911174145 confirmed]] to be dating her.]]
* BrutalHonesty: In "Sleepover" after the Truth or Punishment box inflicts BodyHorror on everyone at Star's sleepover, she, along with Janna, Pony Head, and (eventually) [=StarFan13=], admit that Star's brownies were awful.

* HeroicBSOD: In "Starcrushed" when Star confesses her love to Marco, Jackie doesn't gasp or say anything, she just looks at the situation with a shocked, distraught expression and thousand yard stare, prompting Janna to give a worried glance to check if she is alright.
* HiddenDepths:
** According to "Bon Bon the Birthday Clown", she's apparently a bit of a history geek, though Marco moves on to his next scripted question before she can elaborate more on it.
** In "Starcrushed", her interactions with her newform in "Interdimensional Field Trip".
boyfriend Marco are noticeably goofier than her usual relaxed demeanor, showing a silly side that she previously kept more to herself.
*BadassTeacher: Posses InnocentlyInsensitive: She wasn't aware of Star's crush on Marco while she was dating him and didn't realise how it was affecting her.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: She gently breaks up with Marco when she realizes that he can't readjust to Earth and she doesn't want him to stay on Earth for her sake.
* JustTheWayYouAre: In "Naysaya", she agrees to go to thephysical powers movies with Marco despite him having just spent hours telling her all of a troll, his most pathetic, vulnerable insecurities. In "Bon Bon the Birthday Clown", she recounts this and works as Marco's many other embarrassing, {{Adorkable}} moments when she's explaining that she admires how much he [[TheDeterminator manages to keep going on]] despite them.

* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Sheepisode "Bon Bon The Birthday Clown" has a very cynical and pessimistic outlook Jackie asking him out on life, and a date.
* MellowFellow: "Easygoing" seems tothink be her default mood. In ''Star and Marco's Guide to Mastering Every Dimension'', Star calls her "surprisingly alert for someone who looks like she just woke up."
* {{Motifs}}: Jackie has several connections with water such as her sea green eyes, blue hair stripe, sea shell necklace and sea foam green dress in "Bon Bon the Birthday Clown". According to concept art, she was planned to appear in "Hungry Larry" dressed as a mermaid. When she breaks up with Marco, it's on the piers at the seaside.
* NiceGirl: Jackie is likable, easy-going, patient and understanding. When Marco accidentally breaks her skateboard in "Cheer Up, Star", she is clearly upset, but awkwardly rides away on the front half of the board after telling Marco it's okay rather than get angry. She takes the whole "Naysaya" incident very well, fetching paper towels for Marco after he asks for them in the most awkward way, and listens to a ''long'' list of embarrassing confessions without judgement. Even her breakup speech to him in "Sophomore Slump" is surprisingly calm.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Not completely, but her eyes are drawn differently to everyone else's and have more definition in the irises.
* NoodleIncident: In "Just Friends", while returning the baby ducklings to their mother in the creek, Star and Jackie both mention and bond over having lived in that same creek at some point. While Star's story is a ContinuityNod to when she went on the lam as a fugitive in "Star vs. Echo Creek", the details of Jackie's story and why she was living in the creek are not explained.
* ObliviousToLove: She didn't know about Marco's obvious crush on her until he confesses it in "Sleepover". ''[[AllthereInTheManual Star and Marco's Guide to Mastering Every Dimension]]'' has her suggest in an interview with Star that she was always aware of it on some level, but didn't really know for certain until "Sleepover".
* PutOnABus: In Season 3 once she breaks up with Marco and is left behind when he goes to Mewni, not appearing until a bit in season 4.
* RelationshipUpgrade: In "Bon Bon The Birthday Clown", she asks Marco out on a date, where they end up kissing.
* RomanticFalseLead: She was Marco's target of affections throughout Seasons 1 and 2, with both getting together at the end of the latter while Star grew increasingly jealous. They break up shortly after the start of Season 3.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: In Season 1, Jackie doesn't have much of a role besides being the girl Marco's crushing on. This is even lampshaded by Marco in the episode "Sleepover", when he admits he never truly to got know Jackie beyond the image of her he built up, but he would like to try. Jackie is given more fleshed-out characterization from that point forward.
* ShesGotLegs: Her legs are noticeably curvier in comparison to other female classmates. "Freeze Day" reveals that they weren't as muscular in the past. It might be a result of her skateboarding.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan:
** She developed a crush on some dude at skate camp because he was a NiceGuy.
** She proceeded to show interest in Marco for the same reason, as the above mentioned crush -- Marco's an honest NiceGuy who always tries his hardest.
* SkunkStripe: A sea-foam green one, since it's herjob to prepare her students for favorite color.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS:
** In "Freeze Day", adull and disappointing future.
* StoutStrength: As a troll. Turns out beneath that layerglimpse of flab is some ''serious'' muscle.
* TookALevelInBadass: After getting in touchMarco's childhood shows a gold star chart with her new troll heritage in "Interdimensional Field Trip", she helps save the class from a string monster.
* TookALevelInKindness: In season two, evenJackie's name spelled as "Jakie", though she still retains some of her grumpiness, she is shown this could simply be attributed to be way a toddler's misspelling.
** A moreeager to teach complicated example would be the placement of the hyphen in her students full name. In "Naysaya", Marco mentions that he filled a notebook with his first name and more supportive of them (like in "Mathmagic", where she honestly congratulates Star for trying to solve a math problem). This is a big improvement compared to her early appearances in season 1, where she was portrayed as a miserable woman who clearly hated her job and last name because he couldn't care less about decide between "Marco Diaz Lynn-Thomas" or "Marco Lynn-Thomas Diaz", implying that her students.last name is "Lynn-Thomas". However, the ''[[AllThereInTheScript Star and Marco's Guide to Mastering Every Dimension]]'' book gives her full name as "Jackie-Lynn Thomas" and calls her "Jackie-Lynn" multiple times, implying that this is her first name. Considering that it's never mentioned ''when'' Marco filled that notebook, and the fact that even up to the present day he assumed that her drawing of a green watermelon was of the moon, it could be possible that her full name is properly spelled "Jackie-Lynn Thomas" and Marco simply didn't know at the time that the Lynn was not part of her last name.
* SymbolMotifClothing: She always wears a seashell necklace and has shown multiple times to have connotations with water, such as her dress in "Bon Bon The Birthday Clown" looking like the ocean (according to Star), and in "Hungry Larry" Jackie was originally planned to make an appearance in the episode dressed as a mermaid. On a minor note, her green eyes and blue hair stripe might also be a connection to water.
* TrouserSpace: She inexplicably managed to have a skateboard and two helmets hidden under her dress during her date with Marco. And when invited to join Star and Marco at a Love Sentence concert, she somehow has ''three'' skateboards hidden... somewhere. Plus an extra helmet for Marco (presumably only refraining from pulling a third helmet out because Star magic-ed up one for herself).
* TwoFirstNames: Her last name Thomas is also a male given name.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: Her eyes are drawn with more detail than most characters', and in ''Star and Marco's Guide to Mastering Every Dimension'', Star says she has the second most beautiful eyes in Echo Creek Academy (first most beautiful being Oskar's).
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: [[AllThereInTheManual According to]] ''Star and Marco's Guide to Mastering Every Dimension'', that seagreen streak in her otherwise blonde hair is natural. Although it could be a case of UnreliableNarrator from part of Star, considering that in "Freeze Day" it's shown that Jackie didn't always have it.
* YouthfulFreckles: Jackie has freckles under her eyes.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Jackie-Lynn has tan skin that is similar to Marco's.
* AmicableExes: With Marco. They start dating in "Bon Bon the Birthday Clown", but Jackie breaks up with him because she knew he wanted to be on Mewni. When they meet up again in "Britta's Tacos", Marco is afraid that he was horrible boyfriend to her, but she reassures him that he was a "standard boyfriend" and that they just didn't work. At the end of the episode, Jackie [[ShipperOnDeck advises]] him to go after Star while Marco smiles at her and Chloe skating off together while holding hands.
* BiTheWay: She was
* BrutalHonesty: In "Sleepover" after the Truth or Punishment box inflicts BodyHorror on everyone at Star's sleepover, she, along with Janna, Pony Head, and (eventually) [=StarFan13=], admit that Star's brownies were awful. She apparently learned her lesson, because in "Bon Bon the Birthday Clown", she does not hesitate at all to let Marco know that the chocolate milkshake snack he
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: She has known Marco since kindergarten, but she remained oblivious of his crush until he reveals it in "Sleepover". They start dating in "Bon Bon the Birthday Clown" but later break up.
* ChronicallyCrashedCar: Or in her case, her skateboard, which tends to keep getting broken.
* CrazyPrepared: She's
* AnAxeToGrind: An ax becomes her weapon of choice once she learns
* GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies: In "Naysaya", she clings onto Marco's arm when they go see a horror movie together.
* HartmanHips: Her legs are not the only noticeably curvy part of her body.
* HeroicBSOD: In "Starcrushed" when Star confesses her love to Marco, Jackie doesn't gasp or say anything, she just looks at the situation with a shocked, distraught expression and thousand yard stare, prompting Janna to give a worried glance to check if she is alright.
* HiddenDepths:
** According to "Bon Bon the Birthday Clown", she's apparently a bit of a history geek, though Marco moves on to his next scripted question before she can elaborate more on it.
** In "Starcrushed", her interactions with her new

* BalefulPolymorph: Accidentally transformed into a troll by Star. Star can't figure out how to reverse
*
* CursedWithAwesome: At first she is devastated about being turned into a monster but after learning that trolls live on average 400 years (meaning she technically turned back into a ''teenager'') and are hundreds of times stronger than a human, she changes her mind.
* DeadpanSnarker: Especially in "School Spirit", when Star asks her what is her favorite weapon, she replied with complete disinterest, "battle axe".
* GeniusBruiser: Shown to be one in "Interdimensional Field Trip"; she uses both her new trollish strength and her school-teacher wits to defeat a fearsome monster.
* IAmWho: A slight version of this, as she never knew how [[CursedWithAwesome great trolls are]] until she entered a museum of them in "Interdimensional Field Trip".
* {{Jerkass}}: She acts as jerky teacher to her students, even taking her anger out on them by giving a quiz just because the monster she liked apparently broke up with her.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite being grumpy, strict, and disapproving of fun, she does care for her students and
* NoNameGiven: Only referred to as "Miss Skullnick" until "Girls' Day Out", where she reveals her first name as Margaret.
* SadistTeacher: Mostly due to grumpiness from not being able to get a date. However, in Season 2, she became more of a well-meaning SternTeacher after she TookALevelInKindness.
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: She
* MellowFellow: "Easygoing" seems to
* {{Motifs}}: Jackie has several connections with water such as her sea green eyes, blue hair stripe, sea shell necklace and sea foam green dress in "Bon Bon the Birthday Clown". According to concept art, she was planned to appear in "Hungry Larry" dressed as a mermaid. When she breaks up with Marco, it's on the piers at the seaside.
* NiceGirl: Jackie is likable, easy-going, patient and understanding. When Marco accidentally breaks her skateboard in "Cheer Up, Star", she is clearly upset, but awkwardly rides away on the front half of the board after telling Marco it's okay rather than get angry. She takes the whole "Naysaya" incident very well, fetching paper towels for Marco after he asks for them in the most awkward way, and listens to a ''long'' list of embarrassing confessions without judgement. Even her breakup speech to him in "Sophomore Slump" is surprisingly calm.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Not completely, but her eyes are drawn differently to everyone else's and have more definition in the irises.
* NoodleIncident: In "Just Friends", while returning the baby ducklings to their mother in the creek, Star and Jackie both mention and bond over having lived in that same creek at some point. While Star's story is a ContinuityNod to when she went on the lam as a fugitive in "Star vs. Echo Creek", the details of Jackie's story and why she was living in the creek are not explained.
* ObliviousToLove: She didn't know about Marco's obvious crush on her until he confesses it in "Sleepover". ''[[AllthereInTheManual Star and Marco's Guide to Mastering Every Dimension]]'' has her suggest in an interview with Star that she was always aware of it on some level, but didn't really know for certain until "Sleepover".
* PutOnABus: In Season 3 once she breaks up with Marco and is left behind when he goes to Mewni, not appearing until a bit in season 4.
* RelationshipUpgrade: In "Bon Bon The Birthday Clown", she asks Marco out on a date, where they end up kissing.
* RomanticFalseLead: She was Marco's target of affections throughout Seasons 1 and 2, with both getting together at the end of the latter while Star grew increasingly jealous. They break up shortly after the start of Season 3.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: In Season 1, Jackie doesn't have much of a role besides being the girl Marco's crushing on. This is even lampshaded by Marco in the episode "Sleepover", when he admits he never truly to got know Jackie beyond the image of her he built up, but he would like to try. Jackie is given more fleshed-out characterization from that point forward.
* ShesGotLegs: Her legs are noticeably curvier in comparison to other female classmates. "Freeze Day" reveals that they weren't as muscular in the past. It might be a result of her skateboarding.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan:
** She developed a crush on some dude at skate camp because he was a NiceGuy.
** She proceeded to show interest in Marco for the same reason, as the above mentioned crush -- Marco's an honest NiceGuy who always tries his hardest.
* SkunkStripe: A sea-foam green one, since it's her

* SymbolMotifClothing: She always wears a seashell necklace and has shown multiple times to have connotations with water, such as her dress in "Bon Bon The Birthday Clown" looking like the ocean (according to Star), and in "Hungry Larry" Jackie was originally planned to make an appearance in the episode dressed as a mermaid. On a minor note, her green eyes and blue hair stripe might also be a connection to water.
* TrouserSpace: She inexplicably managed to have a skateboard and two helmets hidden under her dress during her date with Marco. And when invited to join Star and Marco at a Love Sentence concert, she somehow has ''three'' skateboards hidden... somewhere. Plus an extra helmet for Marco (presumably only refraining from pulling a third helmet out because Star magic-ed up one for herself).
* TwoFirstNames: Her last name Thomas is also a male given name.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: Her eyes are drawn with more detail than most characters', and in ''Star and Marco's Guide to Mastering Every Dimension'', Star says she has the second most beautiful eyes in Echo Creek Academy (first most beautiful being Oskar's).
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: [[AllThereInTheManual According to]] ''Star and Marco's Guide to Mastering Every Dimension'', that seagreen streak in her otherwise blonde hair is natural. Although it could be a case of UnreliableNarrator from part of Star, considering that in "Freeze Day" it's shown that Jackie didn't always have it.

We then only see their waving arms sticking out of the crowd. This was mostly due to Daron Nefcy wanting to use them as little as possible admitting that she didn't like them and that the only reason why they were added in the first place was due to [[ExecutiveMeddling the insistence from Disney]] to give Marco male friends.

His real name is Charlie Booth, and he actually hails from the drab town of Bakersfieldville.

!!Tropes applying to both
* AdultsAreUseless: Played with. They're generally absent from Marco's life and as such do very little to keep him safe from his and Star's dangerous adventures. They also remain ignorant of the very clear indications that Miss Heinous wants Marco dead and are mostly concerned with appeasing her when she shows up at their house so that they can prepare for dinner with their cool neighbors. However, they do take steps to help rescue Marco when they learn that he's been kidnapped in "Storm the Castle", and after learning about him starting a princess rebellion and making enemies who threaten his and Star's lives, they decide to be more actively involved. In Season 3, Angie starts to address Marco's issue with not having Star around, and shows real concern that the way Marco is conducting himself after returning from Mewni isn't healthy.
* AesopAmnesia: They haven't absorbed the lesson that they need to keep an eye on Marco or at least spend more time with him.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Marco sometimes gets bothered by their extreme enthusiasm.
* {{Foil}}: To the Butterfly parents. While Star's parents are stricter and stiffer, Marco's parents are more laid back and open minded. As an added bonus, the Diazes wear warm color clothing, while the Butterflys wear cool color clothing.
* HappilyMarried: They are very affectionate with each other.
* HighSchoolSweethearts: In the "#Marco LIVE Animated Live Chat", Marco said in response to a fan. They loved each other for a long time.
* ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime: Allowing a foreign exchange student to live in your house when said exchange student is a teenage girl the same age as your son is probably going to have serious consequences, something that Rafael and Angie are shown to have realized in hindsight given the looks on their faces after Star makes her AnguishedDeclarationOfLove to Marco.
* LikeParentUnlikeChild: They are free spirits who embrace new experiences even if they are dangerous; in contrast, their son Marco is a very safe person, to the point he is almost doing it unconsciously.
* NiceGuy: The two are very cheerful, and welcome Star into their home with open arms.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Rafael and Angie in "Heinous" acted very angry and strict to Star and Marco when pinning down Miss Heinous and Gemini who they believe have done nothing wrong. Star and Marco thought they broke into their home about to torture them. They didn't have time to deal with Marco and Miss Heinous so they want him to resolve his issue with Miss Heinous. Plus, they take Miss Heinous' advice to heart to keep an assertive eye on Star's and Marco's inter-dimensional adventures despite nothing has changed after that. Rafael has took some fatherly advice to Marco in "Starcrushed", and in "Return to Mewni", part of The Battle for Mewni TV special, Angie tries to cheer up Marco after Star's sudden departure.
* OutOfFocus: For the first half of Season 2 and Season 3.
* ThePollyanna: Almost nothing gets these two down. Every new weird and dangerous thing Star introduces into their lives, they ecstatically embrace.
* ReplacementGoldfish: Their second child is pretty explicitly an attempt to replace Marco after the latter has moved to Mewni; they even go so far as to name the new kid Marco, Jr.
* SickeninglySweethearts: They are usually seen as a lovey-dovey couple. In Star and Marco's Guide to Mastering Every Dimension, Star says that they can be usually be found cuddling on the couch. The episodes "Diaz Family Vacation" when it was their anniversary and in "Raid the Cave", in a surprise cameo, really show how affectionate they are after years of being happily married.
* UnnamedParent: Only referred to as "Mom" and "Dad" by Marco and "Mr. and Mrs. Diaz" by Star. Mr. Diaz's name was revealed to be Rafael in "Storm the Castle" while Daron Nefcy [[https://twitter.com/DaronNefcy/status/647091057327370241 confirmed on Twitter]] that Mrs. Diaz's name is Angie. She was first addressed by name onscreen by Jackie in "Bon Bon the Birthday Clown".

* CarpetOfVirility: Mr. Diaz has a lot of body hair, which his wife likes to play with.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Like his son, Mr. Diaz has matching brown hair and eyes.

* {{Keet}}: Like his [[GenkiGirl wife]], he's a free spirit.
* LatinLover: Being Mexican, Rafael is seen sometimes being romantic and falling in love with his wife, Angie. One reason why he still loves Angie is because of her beauty. Also, his chest hair really attracts her as she starts playing with it. In ''Star and Marco’s Guide to Mastering Every Dimension'', it is said that he and Angie can be usually found cuddling on the couch. Even after years of marriage, he still loves her passionately.
* PapaWolf: Although it wasn't fully seen, Mr. Diaz (along with [[MamaBear Mrs. Diaz]]) ''did'' put on armor and was ready to storm Ludo's castle to save Marco. This is shown in a lot more detail in "Hungry Larry", where Mr. Diaz at first appears to be terrified of Hungry Larry and struggling to comprehend what was happening but he's revealed to be in a TranquilFury that is able terrify Hungry Larry and forces him to leave in a hurry.
* TranquilFury: In "Hungry Larry", Mr. Diaz is able to defeat and terrify Hungry Larry when the latter had eaten his family and Hungry Larry even says that there's nothing scarier than a man who's lost everything.

* BerserkButton: She's normally easy-going, but she becomes frighteningly angry when Marco doesn't give her a real hug (this might have also had something to do with her pregnancy affecting her mood).
* FieryRedhead: Downplayed, as Angie is an energetic free-spirit, not HotBlooded.
* GenkiGirl: Like her [[{{Keet}} husband]], she's a free spirit.
* HistoryRepeats: She's deeply ashamed of her brief period of pretentiousness and conceit after she spent a summer in Europe during her youth and tries to warn Marco against being similarly snooty and hurting those close to him due to his recent Mewni adventures. However, at the end of ''Sophomore Slump'', she decides to let Marco return to Mewni to have his "French Summer" even if it means it might result in him having to experience some harsh and disillusioning life lessons in the process as it was for her. Which, sure enough, happens in the subsequent episode.
* MamaBear: Although it wasn't fully seen, Mrs. Diaz (along with [[PapaWolf Mr. Diaz]]) ''did'' put on armor and was ready to storm Ludo's castle to save Marco.
* RapunzelHair: Mrs. Diaz's hair reaches past her waist, and it's in a ponytail.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Mrs. Diaz has reddish-brown hair and pale green eyes.
* AdultsAreUseless: Played with. They're generally absent from Marco's life and as such do very little to keep him safe from his and Star's dangerous adventures. They also remain ignorant of the very clear indications that Miss Heinous wants Marco dead and are mostly concerned with appeasing her when she shows up at their house so that they can prepare for dinner with their cool neighbors. However, they do take steps to help rescue Marco when they learn that he's been kidnapped in "Storm the Castle", and after learning about him starting a princess rebellion and making enemies who threaten his and Star's lives, they decide to be more actively involved. In Season 3, Angie starts to address Marco's issue with not having Star around, and shows real concern that the way Marco is conducting himself after returning from Mewni isn't healthy.
* AesopAmnesia: They haven't absorbed the lesson that they need to keep an eye on Marco or at least spend more time with him.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Marco sometimes gets bothered by their extreme enthusiasm.

* HappilyMarried: They are very affectionate with each other.
* HighSchoolSweethearts: In the "#Marco LIVE Animated Live Chat", Marco said in response to a fan. They loved each other for a long time.
* ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime: Allowing a foreign exchange student to live in your house when said exchange student is a teenage girl the same age as your son is probably going to have serious consequences, something that Rafael and Angie are shown to have realized in hindsight given the looks on their faces after Star makes her AnguishedDeclarationOfLove to Marco.
* LikeParentUnlikeChild: They are free spirits who embrace new experiences even if they are dangerous; in contrast, their son Marco is a very safe person, to the point he is almost doing it unconsciously.
* NiceGuy: The two are very cheerful, and welcome Star into their home with open arms.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Rafael and Angie in "Heinous" acted very angry and strict to Star and Marco when pinning down Miss Heinous and Gemini who they believe have done nothing wrong. Star and Marco thought they broke into their home about to torture them. They didn't have time to deal with Marco and Miss Heinous so they want him to resolve his issue with Miss Heinous. Plus, they take Miss Heinous' advice to heart to keep an assertive eye on Star's and Marco's inter-dimensional adventures despite nothing has changed after that. Rafael has took some fatherly advice to Marco in "Starcrushed", and in "Return to Mewni", part of The Battle for Mewni TV special, Angie tries to cheer up Marco after Star's sudden departure.

* SickeninglySweethearts: They are usually seen as a lovey-dovey couple. In Star and Marco's Guide to Mastering Every Dimension, Star says that they can be usually be found cuddling on the couch. The episodes "Diaz Family Vacation" when it was their anniversary and in "Raid the Cave", in a surprise cameo, really show how affectionate they are after years of being happily married.
* UnnamedParent: Only referred to as "Mom" and "Dad" by Marco and "Mr. and Mrs. Diaz" by Star. Mr. Diaz's name was revealed to be Rafael in "Storm the Castle" while Daron Nefcy [[https://twitter.com/DaronNefcy/status/647091057327370241 confirmed on Twitter]] that Mrs. Diaz's name is Angie.

And that's on top of thinking Scandinavia is a single country and not just a region consisting of several countries.

In fact, Scandinavians have puffins, lederhosen is German and clogs are Dutch.

He is in actuality a full blooded American who poses as various nationalities to [[ItMakesSenseInContext trick families into taking him in so he can hone his skills as a chef]] by practicing various regional (for whatever nationality he's posing as) dishes on them.
