* UnstablePoweredWoman: Played with. Nancy becomes increasingly unhinged and AxCrazy when she invokes the spirit to gain more power. However, it's indicated she wasn't the most stable girl to begin with and she's fixated on gaining power right from the start; it's her belief that having magical powers means she can do whatever she wants that makes things worse rather than her just having powers. When Sarah expresses reluctance at invoking the spirit herself because it "made Nancy crazy", Lirio states that it's actually all down to the individual witch and Nancy takes her power to "a dark place". [[spoiler:After her powers are bound, Nancy completely loses it and is confined to a mental hospital, insisting she can fly]].

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Due to her insecurities, she had a history of alcohol and drug abuse, but when she invokes Manon's powers, she compensates her insecurities by abusing her near-omnipotent powers.

* ClassicalElementsEnsemble:
** [[WordOfGod According to the script]], the four girls all have an ElementalMotifs associated with one of the classical elements that hold a prominent place in Wiccan tradition. Sarah represents Earth - as the most grounded and mature of the girls. Bonnie represents Fire - and she was once burned by one. Rochelle represents Water - she's an avid swimmer. Nancy represents Air - she is wild and unpredictable.
** When they cast a spell, each one invokes their element, in their incantation. Rochelle: "Hail to the guardians of the watch towers of the West, powers of water and intuition." Nancy: "Hail to the guardians of the watch towers of the East, powers of air and invention." Bonnie: "Hail to the guardians of the watch towers of the South, powers of Fire and feeling."



* FourElementEnsemble: Nancy is air, Bonnie is fire, Rochelle is water and Sarah is earth.



* ElementalMotifs: Air, according to the script. She is said to be the most unpredictable of the girls and is certainly destructive with a nasty temper.



* FourElementEnsemble: Air, according to the script, as Nancy recites the incantation ("Hail to the guardians of the watch towers of the East, powers of air and invention.") She is said to be the most unpredictable of the girls and is certainly destructive with a nasty temper.



* ElementalMotifs: Earth. She invokes this element in the invocation of the spirit, often wears earthy-coloured clothing and is the most 'grounded' and 'down-to-earth' of all the girls.



* FourElementEnsemble: Earth. She invokes this element in the invocation of the spirit, often wears earthy-coloured clothing and is the most 'grounded' and 'down-to-earth' of all the girls.



* FourElementEnsemble: Air, according to the creators, as she "sees things others don't". She also becomes quite 'flighty' after curing her scarring.
** During the incantation when they call the corners, Bonnie calls "Hail to the guardians of the watch towers of the South, powers of Fire and feeling."

** Sarah's mother died in childbirth, she struggles to make friends and suffers from depression and once tried to kill herself. Mere days/weeks after arriving at her new Catholic school, she gets nasty rumours spread about her after she turned down the offer of sex with a popular Football Player who Sarah thought genuinely liked her.
** Nancy lives in a crappy trailer park with her irresponsible Alcoholic mother and abusive Alcoholic stepfather. She is regarded as a freak at school, partially due to her {{Goth}} appearance and mainly because her {{Jerk Jock}} boyfriend (the same guy who spread rumours about Sarah) broke up with her after they had sex and then told the whole school about it, resulting in Nancy being badly bullied and slut-shamed. It’s also implied he gave her an STI. Nancy is also not the most mentally stable girl and becomes increasingly unhinged.
** Bonnie was involved in an accident as a child resulting in severe burn scars around her body, for which she undergoes numerous painful treatments to no avail and is implied to be bullied over them, giving her serious self-esteem issues (she even calls herself a "monster" at one point). 
** Rochelle loves swimming and is a star on the swim team; but she’s unable to enjoy herself because the resident AlphaBitch Laura and her GirlPosse are also on the team and bully her every chance they get (with at least Laura being motivated by racism).
* FanservicePack: Round about when they start properly using magic, all the girls begin dressing in more revealing outfits and behaving somewhat more provacatively. Special mention should go to Bonnie, though, as she starts out being very insecure and bundles herself up in layers of clothing. After magically removing her burn scars, she gets a big confidence boost and [[SheCleansUpNicely begins strutting about in more flattering clothes and makeup]], getting lots of attention from the boys at school. Bonnie even has the nerve to catcall a random guy.
