12	The titular characters. They are genie sisters who grant Leah's wishes.
13	----
14	!!Shared tropes
15	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In "Zeta in Training", Zeta must grant Shimmer and Shine three wishes as part of her second chance as a genie-in-training and, at some point, asks them what the biggest and most powerful gem looks like and they unwittingly reply with "Wish we knew", allowing Zeta to use their last wish to get said gem.
16	* BenevolentGenie: They try their best to grant wishes for Leah.
17	* ButThouMust: Once they hear a wish, they must grant it no matter what.
18	* DivergentCharacterEvolution: The girls have much more distinct personalities from season 2 onward.
19	* DumbassNoMore: While they were never really dumb, a lot of season 1 plots revolved around them misinterpreting Leah's wishes and scrambling to fix them while in season 2 this almost never happens and they understand wishes perfectly.
20	* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: Saying Shimmer and Shine love anything glittery or covered in sparkles is probably an understatement.
21	** Their names are even adjectives used to describe sparkling or glittering things.
22	* GenkiGirl: Both girls are quite energetic, but Shine really takes the cake.
23	* LiteralGenie: At worst, they misinterpret what Leah wishes for. Because they're genies-in-training, they tend to fall into this. They grew out of it by Season 2.
24	* MagicalIncantation: They chant one whenever they grant a wish.
25	-->''Boom, Zahramay! Numbered wish of the day! Shimmer and Shine, The wish here divine!''
26	* ThreeWishes: They collectively can grant three wishes a day. During her second chance as a genie-in-training, Zeta has to grant them three wishes.
27	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Shimmer is the girly girl to Shine's tomboy.
28	* TookALevelInBadass: Both girls' wish granting skills are much better in season 2 onward.

30	!!Tropes specific to Shimmer:

44	->'''Voiced by:''' Alina Foley
45	A human girl who has genies.
46	----
47	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor[=/=]WastefulWishing: She sometimes words her wishes in a way that can be misinterpreted by the genie sisters.
48	* [[spoiler:BecomingTheGenie: During Season 3, she wishes to become a genie for a day, so she can grant wishes and help people. Zeta ends up holding her bottle, and wants to use Leah's new power for evil, but she twists around her wishes.]]
49	* GenkiGirl: She acts very excitable when happy.
50	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: See TheHeart below.
51	* TheHeart: It's subtle, but she tends to bring out the good in others through sheer determination and kindness.
52	* [[spoiler:JackassGenie: During the time she spends as Zeta's genie in season 3, she purposely misinterprets her wishes so she can't use them for evil.]]
53	* MagicalIncantation: When summoning Shimmer and Shine in the first season, she chants: "Shimmer and Shine, my genies divine. Through this special chant, three wishes you'll grant!"
54	* NiceGirl: She's never mad when Shimmer and Shine mess up her wishes.
55	* ThirdPersonPerson: [[spoiler:In "Genie for a Day", the personalized part of her wish-granting chant is "Leah will grant, a wish with this chant".]]
56	* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She enjoys playing Arcade Games and trying to skateboard, but she also loves to play with dolls and do ballet.
57	* VocalEvolution: Leah’s voice becomes noticeably deeper and more adolescent as her voice actress aged -- in the first season she sounded 6-8 years old, now she sounds like she's at least 13.

69	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Is this in the first season on Leah having genies.
70	* MistakenForOwnMurderer: In "The Mysterious Tower", Zac finds a necklace that turns him into a Ziffilon-like monster. Kaz briefly assumes the monster ate Zac.

85	[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shimmer_and_shine_zeta_the_sorceress.png]]
86	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LaceyChabert, Creator/RyanBartley (young)
87
88	A sorceress who wants to be the most powerful being in the world. She has a sister who quit sorcery to be a genie.
89	----
90	* AdaptationalAttractiveness: [[https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/8/8b/Shimmer_and_shine_Zeta_the_sorceress_bikini_Official_Art.jpg In this art from the S&S crew.]]
91	* AmbitionIsEvil: She wants to become the most powerful being around, and will go to almost any lengths to achieve this goal.
92	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: During Season 3, Leah wishes to become a genie for a day, and Zeta uses a potion to get Leah to grant her wishes, but she purposely misinterprets them so Zeta can't use her wishes for evil.
93	* CueTheRain: In "Now You See Her", after a forced landing, Zeta is glad that at least it's not raining. Nazboo congratulates Zeta for the subsequent rain. Zeta later tries to tell him at least it's not snowing but snow falls right before she says "snowing".
94	* CuteWitch: She's a sorceress who's rather pretty.
95	* DemotedToDragon: In Uzma's debut episode. Zeta thought she was in a BigBadDuumvirate, but Uzma had her fetching potions for her.
96	* DidntSeeThatComing: In "Genie for a Day", it never occurred to her that Leah (who was temporarily a genie) would actively resist granting any bad wishes she would make.
97	* DidntThinkThisThrough: A common flaw in her plans. She often steals magical artefacts without knowing how to properly use them, resulting in her losing control of them. And in "Zeta in Training", she tricks the girls into wishing for the biggest, most powerful magic gem there is. Said gem is so big that it almost crushes her.
98	* EnemyMine: She teams up with the genies against Uzma when the latter threatens Nazboo, and later when she tries to steal the magic of Zahramay Falls.
99	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes:
100	** While she doesn't show it often, she truly cares about Nazboo.
101	** She also cares about her sister Gigi, even after learning that she decided to become a genie rather than a sorceress like her.
102	* EvilCannotComprehendGood: The main reason Zeta failed to become a genie and ultimately gave up on it is because she can't understand the idea of doing something good for someone else. She's baffled that "selfless" is a real word.
103	* EvilFormerFriend: In "Samira and Zeta", it's revealed that Samira and Zeta used to be friends until Zeta grew resentful of Samira's progress as a genie-in-training.
104	* EvilIsPetty: In "The Silent Treatment", she switched Leah's voice with a bird's out of spite for the genie's pets tripping her up.
105	* FatalFlaw: {{Pride}}. She thinks she's smarter and more capable than she actually is, leading her to make poor decisions, overestimate her abilities, and underestimate her foes.
106	** Her obsession with gaining power leads her to chase after anything she thinks can make her more powerful. In "Pet Games", she entered the titular contest with Nazboo's family, due to automatically assuming that the "special prize" for the winning team would be something that would grant her more power.
107	* GreenEyedMonster: In "Samira and Zeta". Her reaction to Samira doing better than her in their genie training was to try and sabotage her out of spite.
108	* ItsAllAboutMe: She doesn't care if her schemes ruin everything for everyone else, as long as she profits from them. "Zeta in Training" suggests this was the reason she washed out of genie training.
109	* JackassGenie: In "Zeta in Training", Zeta gets a second chance as a genie-in-training and tries to get someone to make a wish she can use to make herself more powerful.
110	* LaserGuidedKarma: Suffers from this a lot, but especially in "The Silent Treatment"; After switching Leah's voice with a bird's, she accidentally gets shrunk by a potion. Wishing magic was the only way to reverse the effect, forcing Zeta to help restore Leah's voice, while also enduring Shimmer and Shine cooing over how "cute" her small self was (and almost getting eaten by the bird).
111	* MesACrowd: In "Double Trouble", she used the Doubling Gem to create duplicates of her. This backfired when she found it impossible to get along with her copies, as each one was as arrogant and self-centred as she is.
112	* MoralMyopia: She regularly lies, tricks and steals to get what she wants. But whenever she is defeated, she has a habit of complaining that it's "not fair".
113	* NobleDemon: Though she is the villainess of the series, and doesn't always show it, she is capable of being a decent person, particularly because of Nazboo.
114	* OverlyNarrowSuperlative: She claims to be "the most powerful sorceress in Zahramay Falls". By all indications, she seems to be the ''only'' sorceress in Zahramay Falls.
115	* PetTheDog: In the climax of "Samira and Zeta", she's surprised to find the feather Samira gave her when they were kids, thinking she'd lost it, and she smiles before placing it on a table...in front of a picture of herself and Samira as friends no less.
116	* SelfServingMemory: In "Dragon Tales", she embellishes the story of how she and Nazboo first met in order to make her actions seem more impressive.
117	* SitcomArchNemesis: Is this starting from the 2nd season.
118	* SmallNameBigEgo: She's convinced she's a great and powerful sorceress who deserves to rule Zahramay Falls. In reality, she's just a bumbling schemer with moderate skills.
119	* ThreePointLanding: In "Dragon Tales", Zeta's flashback of how she and Nazboo first met features her performing this landing upon arriving at Mantikar. It turns out to be [[SubvertedTrope just one of the lies she made up]] to inflate her ego. She crash-landed there.
120	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl:
121	** The tomboy to Samira's girly girl.
122	** She has a similar dynamic with Gigi.
123	* TooDumbToLive: Zeta flies around in a motorcycle that runs out of fuel without giving her enough time for a safe landing.
124	* TroublingUnchildlikeBehaviour: "Samira and Zeta" shows that, even as a child, Zeta was obsessed with becoming the most powerful person in Zahramay Falls.
125	* UngratefulBitch: In Volcano Drain-o", Leah and her genies saved Zeta from an erupting glitter volcano. Zeta didn't bother to thank them at first, only grudgingly doing so after Nazboo insisted.

132	----
133	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Kaz expresses his desire to have a pet Ziffilon and says how hard it is to get one, Zac says he can help. Kaz must be outright told Zac means wishing for it.
134	* MagicalIncantation: Has one whenever he grants a wish.
135	-->''Boom, Zahramay! Numbered wish of the day! Flash and pizzazz, the wish here by Kaz!
