River Kendall

Then when he actually gets a chance to perform with his group, then immediately bomb by not getting a single spotlight from the judges and don’t make it past the first round. Worst of all, these two major failures one after the other put a major strain on his romance with Amaya until it comes to a head with a seriously self-conscious River questioning why someone like her would see someone like him and anguishly declaring that he needs a break from the two of them after the stress of everything happening to him.

Click here to see her Rainbow High appearance.

- Best Friend: The closest of the As to Avery. Which makes it hurt her more than anyone when she ends up betraying them by swapping over to Shadow High.

Dia Mante
Voiced by: Alex Cazares
I like my fashion loud, and my music louder.
- It's All About Me: During her introduction, she notes that if the spotlight isn’t on her, then it’s pointing in the wrong direction. This attitude ends up costing her when she becomes the first boot of her team when her domineering insistence on being the team leader and pushing for her design ideas while ignoring and shooting down her teammates inputs rubs them all the wrong way and leads them all to send her back to class. Even Maria herself notes that while her final product may have been good, her unprofessional behavior during the process of making it ended up hurting her team more than anything and that she needed to learn to make sure everyone was heard in a group project if she wanted to make it big.

Reina “Glitch” Crowne
Voiced by: Stephanie Southerland
Find your voice and get loud!
- Beneath the Mask: Onstage, Glitch is shown to be a cool, slick and confident hostess full of sass, showmanship, and stage presence. Offstage, however, the real Reina is shown to be much more quiet, reserved, and unsure of herself, constantly struggling with performance anxiety and finding her own voice.
- Meaningful Name: She appears to teleport and "glitch" around the Shadow High auditorium in her debut episode
- Performance Anxiety: The Rainbow Vision Hostess is revealed to be nowhere near as self-confident as she appears offstage and regularly suffers from this beneath a mask of coolness. This is especially true when it comes to singing, as her first attempt to conquer at Rainbow Vision ended in disaster for her when she froze up on stage… making it rather awkward that singing a song in the finals is a requirement for her hosting gig.
- Reused Character Design: She uses a fair ton of recolored models from other characters like her ponytail which is from Jade's runway look, her earrings are Nicole's, her combat boots are Ainsley's and her outfit is from the Black and White Background Girl.

- Amusing Injuries: Gets hit behind the neck with a football (presumably thrown from the second floor) during a time-lapse sequence in episode 9.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Was introduced as Skyler’s loving boyfriend in episode 3. But episodes 5-6 reveal he doesn’t feel the same way about her anymore, and cheats on her with Ruby.
- Butt-Monkey: "Girlfriend Take Over" onwards Colin is put as a background character at best and a punchline at worst. Case-and-point, anytime he comes up on "The Vi-Life" he's painted in such light and everyone (even Skyler) is unapologetic about it. Karma (the idea, not the character) is working its way here.
- Casanova Wannabe: He tried to manage two dates, one with his girlfriend Skyler and another with Ruby, but his plans got screwed when the two friends wanted to have a double date.
- Official Couple: With Skyler... until episode 6.
- Oh, Crap!: From Violet catching him with Ruby on camera, to Skyler and Ruby going up on stage after reconciling and indirectly referencing his double-timing... Safe to say Colin is going to be single for a good while.

Ms. Lou Wright
Voiced by: Rebeka Thomas
- Felony Misdemeanor: Fail a project or break a school rule, you will be expelled with no mercy. Bella learns this the hard way in Episode 7. And due to Sabrina performing solo instead of a group with the other Rainbow Divas at Rainbow Vision, this blatant breaking of rules disqualifies her.
- The Glasses Come Off: She takes her sunglasses off when she tells Bella she has been expelled in episode 7.
- Good Cop/Bad Cop: The "bad cop" teacher, as she's aloof and more stern compared to Ms. Morton. Ironically inverted when dealing with Bella's leave, Ms. Wright drops the bomb in an uncharacteristically as-gentle-as-possible manner and seemed greatly disappointed in her student.

- The Faceless: Subverted, her face is shown in the second episode of "The Vi Life".
- Good Cop/Bad Cop: The "good cop" teacher, although she abides by Rainbow High's rules she's more approachable toward the students and has more interactions with them.
