- Quest for Identity: A major theme of the webtoon is Sara discovering more about himself and embracing his best version.
- Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Downplayed since he's still rather young, but he used to love his mom being a Magical Girl when he was five, and often dreamed of being a Magical Duo with her when he grew up. In the present though, he's mortified by her being a Magical Girl, and resents how she's not "normal". While he later admits he does still love that she's one and still wants to be one himself deep down, the fear of facing scorn from his classmates caused him to bury those feelings. It's later implied to also be side-effect of his fathers emotional abuse towards him and his mother.
Magical Mom
Pailin Wongsuwan
The titular heroine, she wishes the best for her son.
- Action Mom: She is called Magical Mom for a reason, being a superhero and a mother.
- Adaptational Name Change: Unlike the original short film, where she was always known as Magical Mom, here she starts off with the alias of Magical Luvli.
- All-Loving Hero: A large theme of the series is "Empathy instead of brutality", and this is reflected in how Pailin strives to reach out to enemies rather than just beat them.
- Big Beautiful Woman: She's put on some weight since Sara was little, but she's still treated as good looking, Sara's class finding her cute when she goes to give Iris The Glomp.

- Innocently Insensitive: When she turns into "Magical Luvli" again for Career Day, she gets so caught up in nostalgia and wanting to have fun with Sara like they used to, she fails to pick up on how mortified Sara feels and his class making fun of him, causing him to lash out her.

Sara's Dad
Name Unknown
The father of Sara. He believe justice needs to be strict in how it is dealt.
- Abusive Parents: He believes it necessary to be hard on Sara, and wants him to be hard as him.
- Deconstructed Character Archetype: He's one to the The Cowl Anti-Hero archetype occasionally found in Magical Girl series like Tuxedo Kamen. He's dark, broody, believes in eliminating threats quickly and harshly, and a recognized hero... all of which translate into terrible traits for a husband and father, as he diminishes Pailin's own achievements, embodies numerous traits akin to toxic masculinity regarding raising Sara, is more often than not absent in their lives, and is ultimately an emotional abuser more than anything.
- Hate Sink: It is clear he isn't meant to be likable as he looks down on Pailin's positivity while calling her a fake hero and wants to mold Sara into his idea of what a hero should be.
- Politically Incorrect Hero: He dismisses Pailin's time as Magical Luvli as being nothing but a joke, even though she was Thailand's top hero. He similarly demonstrates traits of toxic masculinity, a Stay in the Kitchen mindset towards Pailin, and advocates for harsh punishment over Pailin's belief in empathy over brutality.
- Sinister Surveillance: The finale of Season 1 reveals that he has secret security cameras set up in and around the house. It lets him find out how Sara has become Adora Flora and is being trained by Pailin as Magical Mom, something he's not happy about.
- Would Hurt a Child: The reason Pailin backs out of calling him to help with a monsterfied Lucas. She realized he would likely use lethal methods against him.

- Back for the Finale: After vanishing during the prologue, she returns at the end of the season 1 finale to call Pailin over the previous offer to get back in touch.
- Batman Gambit: After seeing how Pailin's job as a daycare worker isn't exciting the class and how she wants to look cool for Sara's class, Iris convinces Pailin to turn into Magical Luvli again, hoping it would embarrass Sara enough to get him to lash out at her and distract her. His doing so manages to actually break her heart, weakening her enough for Iris to throw her around easily.
- But Not Too Foreign: She's half-Thai, half-British.
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: Her hatred of Sara and his father while lamenting how Pailin has "fallen" sound like that of a jilted lover pissed off their ex stopped having fun and settled down.
- Evil Former Friend: Iris was once best friends with Pailin before becoming a supervillain following Pailin starting a family.
