    The Main Characters 

Star Butterfly

  • In "Diaz Family Vacation", in a few seconds she manages to make a fairly detailed unicorn head paper cutting, possibly indicating that she has a talent for making paper cuttings.
  • "Wand to Wand" shows that she enjoys building model ships in bottles.
  • In "Lint Catcher", she sings about how much she enjoys her burrito. She's good at singing (she sung the outro song but this is her officially singing in the series).

Marco Diaz

  • He is shown to be knowledgeable about Victorian-era interior design.
  • He's also shown to be quite the film buff (in a rare VHS store, he clarified that he didn't mean the award-winning film when he asked for a pair of scissors).
  • Most dudes don't care about the differences between shades of the same color. He specifically dubs "Plum Purple" and "Prussian Blue" as his favorites.
  • In an effort to impress Jackie during "Sleepover", he shows that he can play jazz piano on his electric keyboard.
  • It's shown in "Friendenemies" that the kid can really sing.
  • As shown in "St. Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses" and "Death Peck", he has quite a knowledge of art.
  • The episode "Deep Dive" hints that Marco may have a hidden dark side to his careful, insecure nature. Something of note is that when he uses Star's wand, which changes its shape to reflect the person who uses it, the wand takes on an oddly sinister form, with a spear-tipped, spiked faceplate, decorated with a pair of bat wings.

Tom Lucitor

  • While his bedroom in "Mr. Candle Cares" does have a torture wheel, everything else is what a wealthy teenager would have, including arcade machines, a ping-pong table, and posters on the walls.
  • According to Manfred and Star in "Club Snubbed", Tom is one of the best dancers on Mewni. They aren't lying - by the time Tom dances with Star, their dance ends up with a beautiful combination of fire and butterflies.
  • "Is Another Mystery" reveals that Tom himself has been subjected to Fantastic Racism, due to being half-monster. The fact he insists on being referred to as a demon and hides his tail indicates he has a fear of being treated as different, lesser than others or in the same camp as the mainstream monsters. It also explains that the treatment he received in "Starfari" was not a case of being mistaken for a monster; he is one, but he had to pull rank to save face.
  • He's also a huge fan of Love Sentence, a Boy Band, and even has a shrine dedicated to them. This is what allows him to start bonding with Marco, a fellow fan.

Janna Ordonia

  • "Sleepover" reveals that her favorite color is pink, but she won't admit it to others because she hates contributing to gender stereotypes.
  • In "Jannanigans" she admits that her weirdness is at least partially an act that she puts on to help her feel in control, and she is actually very stressed out by unexpected strangeness.

    Mewni 

Globgor the Prince of Darkness

  • The Prince of Darkness has a phenomenal singing voice and even harmonizes with Eclipsa when they sing together. He and Eclipsa are also revealed to be masterful culinary artists, having baked a disturbingly lifelike cake resembling a Mewman as a gift for Star and Tom.

Dennis Avarius

  • Dennis seems to be rather talented in basketball, even if it's a sport that originated in Earth.

Brian

  • "Friendenemies" shows Brian can play the keytar.

    Butterfly Family 

Moon Butterfly, The Undaunted

  • "Escape From The Pie Folk" showed that Moon is talented at baking pies. Based on her amnesic self, this was her hobby and pasttime. Makes more sense when you consider how her mother was like.
  • In "Moon Remembers" she demonstrates a near virtuoso-level degree of skill on the guitar.

Eclipsa Butterfly, The Queen of Darkness

  • She's a capable guitarist, singer, and songwriter, and she has surprisingly modern taste in music for someone who has been Taken for Granite for centuries. She and Globgor are also revealed to be masterful culinary artists, having baked a disturbingly lifelike cake resembling a Mewman as a gift for Star and Tom.

Meteora Butterfly

  • The strait-laced former headmistress obsessed with prim and proper perfection listens to heavy metal music and even headbangs! And that's not even getting into her true backstory.

Dirhhennia the Heaped

  • Dirhhennia was apparently quite charismatic as it was the only one of her stats that wasn't N/A.

Celena the Shy

  • She's a talented potion/charm maker and tarot card reader. Her chapter in The Magic Book of Spells is lined with poems and songs that she wrote herself.

    Earth 

Rafael Diaz

  • "Sleep Spells" shows that Mr. Diaz is a talented sculptor.
  • "Storm the Castle" reveals the Mr. Diaz has a book of medical illustrations.

Jackie Lynn Thomas

  • 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 boyfriend Marco are noticeably goofier than her usual relaxed demeanor, showing a silly side that she previously kept more to herself.

Brittney Wong

  • At the end of "Mr. Candle Cares", she is seen with the titular counselor, apparently discussing whether her life has already peaked. In "Collateral Damage", the distress these thoughts cause her seem to have caused her to start overeating, as she is noticeably pudgier and seen eating something clearly unhealthy.

Oskar Greason

  • The song he writes in "Mewberty" indicates some obvious mother issues. One of the lines includes "I don't like your boyfriend, mom."
