"Stars always glimmer on the sky with hope.
Mortals on the worlds write all of their wishes on the skies."

Ezmeralda
Star Warriors
is a webcomic created by Scott Fraser.
Star Warriors provides examples of:
- Anthropomorphic Shift: In order to better serve as a Star Warrior, Ezmerelda is changed from a fox kit to an anthropomorphic fox.
- Arm Cannon: Ezmeralda gets this to replace her right arm.
- It came to be when Ezmeralda uses the hunter's rifle to defeat Ares's Dark Wish. It's implied Weaver knows or did something about it.
- Batman Can Breathe in Space: Somewhat averted since the Star Warriors are already dead anyway.
- Subverted with Rubiline, who is implied to have died by his space helmet cracking in space.
- The Cameo: Several, between community members, real people, and characters from other webcomics.
- Civilized Animal: In the first interlude, Aister (who would eventually become Doraidis/Miracle) is this. Even teaching the other foxes human mannerisms.
- Elemental Powers: Along with the classic four, there is also Lightning, Light, and Dark. Though a warrior's element is said to derive from their fears in a lore page.
- Killed Off for Real: While star warriors are dead already, they can be "killed" again by Obliteration.
- Skepsi gets obliterated by Savra and Skipper is implied to be obliterated by Aqua in Anthrax's flashback.
- Legendary Weapon: Anthrax often dreams of wielding the Stylourgia. Though he doesn't seem to know what the weapon looks like.
- Make a Wish: Wishes are the main driving force of the star warriors' modus operandi. And there are a lot of them out there!
- Mysterious Parent: Doraidis/Miracle is Ezmeralda's mother. Though she is a star warrior before Ezmeralda, she seems to have a lot going on. What that is is hard to tell, because the rules of the warriors at large prevent them from being in contact.
- The New Guy: Weaver is the better example as the new warrior. Though it's difficult to say how long she has been a star warrior.
- Ezmeralda is also a new warrior after Chapter 0 (which is set sometime further into the comic). Though circumstances made her color and element form faster than most others.
- Our Genies Are Different: Not really genies, but given the wish granting aspect. However, star warriors don't grant wishes the way you expect. Though it varies from case to case, it usually boils down to motivating or talking to the wisher in a way to get them to actively pursue their wishes.
- Passion Is Evil: Not necessarily evil, but it is painted to be a detriment to star warriors.
- God forbid you actually smile in front of Savra.
- Perpetual Smiler: Sylvain, to the point Ezmeralda calls it creepy when they first meet.
- Pintsized Powerhouse: Anthrax, despite being a relatively average sized rat, has made it to sit at the council of Arcanes. Though being the smallest character in the cast is usually Played for Laughs, especially in bonus content.
- Power Tattoo: The Star Warrior characters all have glowing marks that reflect how they died and their recent wounds leading up to that point.
- Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Ezmeralda is a Guest Fighter in Dreamkeepers: SKIRMISH along with Belfry, Zill, and Mordecai to name a few.
- Warrior Heaven: The premise of the comic, but on a cosmic scale with some wish granting thrown in.
- The Watson: Ezmeralda fills this role often, as basic concepts of the Star Warriors organization have to be explained to her (and the audience).
- Weaver can fit under this as well, though in her case, more complex details pertaining to the Star Warriors' missions are covered. Especially late in Chapter 5, where she puts things together that helps reveal important lore of the story's universe.
- Wish Upon a Shooting Star: Most if not all the stars in the cosmos are mortal wishes.
