History Characters / StrangeMagic

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She is a princess, and the hair to the throne to boot; she is also the first to confront the goblins taking over the elf's festival (doing better than its official security) and then flies in the Dark Forest to rescue her sister, and does better than her father's army.

* SiblingYinYang: She is the cynical, aggressive, tomboy to her sister Dawn's optimistic, bubbly, girly girl.

* TomboyPrincess: She is a cynical, pants-wearing, sword-wielding fairy princess.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: When she becomes a TomboyPrincess as a result of her CynicismCatalyst, Marianne adopts a lot of tomboy traits like wearing pants and [[HeroesPreferSwords learning to wield a sword]]. However, she also starts putting on eyeliner, showing that she isn't completely unfeminine.

* WideEyedIdealist: She starts out like this, though she has the excuse of being giddy on her wedding day. She happily proclaims that once she becomes ruler she'll be able to successfully negotiate with the goblins so that everyone can go wherever they want to, brushing over the longstanding fantastic racism on both sides. She's much more cynical after she finds her fiancé cheating on her.

* {{Adorkable}}: Almost unbearably awkward when dealing with genuine romance. [[JukeboxMusical Unless he's singing,]] and then he can be endearingly vulnerable.

* OnlySaneWoman: When surrounded by her ditzy sister, well-meaning but out-of-touch father, and the nameless civilians who think that [[YourCheatingHeart Roland]] deserves a second chance, it is easy to see her as the only reasonable person around.

* YourCheatingHeart: With an unnamed fairy girl on ''the day of his and Marianne's wedding.''

* LaserGuidedKarma: The unnamed girl who Roland [[YourCheatingHeart cheats on]] Marianne with is subjected to this. Since Marianne is the princess of their kingdom and is getting publicly married to Roland, the girl is a knowing home-wrecker. The film punishes her by having her be [[LovePotion love potioned]] into loving a frog. Though considering what [[JerkAss a jerk]] Roland is, this is probably an improvement.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She is flighty, very high energy, and given to going on tangents. It's probably caused by being held in solitary confinement for so long.

* HeroesPreferSwords: As you'd expect, she rushes into the Dark Forest to save her sister from an EvilOverlord with her courage and sword.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With the Bog King. He towers over her.

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She is a princess, and the hair to the trone to boot; she is also the first to confront the goblins taking over the elf's festival (doing better than its official security) and then flies in the Dark Forest to rescue her sister, and does better than her father's army.

* RealMenWearPink: Bog eventually admits that he liked the boutonnière that was made for him.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: The King can fight like a pro and leads the raid into the Fairy Kingdom.

* BeautifulDreamer: Takes a nap in the Bog King's cell while her darling Boggy-Woggy watches, but he really just wants to make sure she's asleep and won't start singing again when he leaves.

* BrainyBrunette: One of the most sensible characters of the movie has brown hair and it makes a contrast with their ditzy sister.

* InterspeciesRomance: [[spoiler:She (a fairy) begins one with the Bog King (a goblin).]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Snarky, hot-tempered, and abrasive. She's also brave, protective, and selfless.
* LovingAShadow: Marianne admits that she was so distracted by Roland's good looks, that she didn't bother to get to know his real personality.

** It's also the name of a type of anemone, which in Flower Lanuage symbolizes loss of hope and feelings of abandonment, but can also mean anticipation of something good. That right there is Marianne's story in a nutshell.

* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler:With the Bog King.]]

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She is the first to confront the goblins taking over the elf's festival (doing better than its official security) and then flies in the Dark Forest to rescue her sister, and does better than her father's army.

* SiblingYinYang: The cynical, aggressive, tomboy to Dawn's optimistic, bubbly, girly girl.

* TomboyPrincess: Pants wearing, sword wielding and generally lacking traditional femininity.

* BattleCouple: With [[spoiler:the Bog King]] - both of them hold their own in the first fight scene they share, but it's when they team up to defeat Marianne's ex-fiancé that they truly show that together they're a force to be reckoned with. [[spoiler:The Bog King]] is naturally terrifying given what kind of creature he is, but Marianne shows that she can be just as ferocious and threatening.

* BirdsOfAFeather: The main attraction between her and the Bog King is their similarity. Both enjoy having a WorthyOpponent, they have been burned by a previous romance and since have seen love as nothing but a ridiculous feeling.

* DarkIsNotEvil: After [[CynicismCatalyst catching Roland cheating on her,]] Marianne started wearing darker clothing than the other fairies.

* IWorkAlone: Being betrayed by her first love convinced Marianne to give up on love. She takes it to suicidal heights when she leaves for the Dark Forest alone, against her father's wishes.

* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Matching brown hair and eyes.

* BlackBestFriend: Starts out mostly defined by his support for Dawn.

* BigBad: The whole plot kicked off with him cheating on Marianne and later manipulating Sonny in his attempt to use the love potion on her.

* NeverMyFault: Roland immediately blames Sunny for drawing the ire of the Bog King by making a love potion, even though he was the one who convinced him to do it.

* RedRightHand: Get a good look at his wings when they're open. They have an unsettling, skull-like smile pattern spread across them.

* PetTheDog: He takes Dawn as his prisoner but he then treats her fairly nicely. He compliments her, accepts the gifts she gives him when she is loopy on LovePotion, and even makes sure that no one wakes her up when she falls asleep. Although, [[MostAnnoyingSound it also got her to stop singing to him...]]
