88	* DisneyDeath: In the cartoon, Rancora nearly kills her by draining her positive energy to the extent that Adora can't heal her, but Vega's Power Crystal revives her.

92	* ObsessedAreTheListMakers: Vega checks her lists thrice to be sure they're correct.

94	* RedOniBlueOni: In the animated series, she's the blue while most of the other main girls are red.
95	* SciFiBobHaircut: Wears her hair like this.

97	* TheSmartGuy: In the animated series.

106
107	* TheAce: While Sage has the most natural talent with energy manipulation, Scarlet's wish-granting potential and power is off-the-charts.

112	* HiddenHeartOfGold: She's generally cold and aloof, but deep down, she's just as caring and selfless as her peers.
113	* IneffectualLoner: Which makes the rest of the girls nervous around her. It is deconstructed into her weakness; Scarlet may treasure her alone time, but when she needs help or just somebody to talk to, she has and will continue to push everyone away.
114	* InTheHood: Scarlet's signature outfit includes a hoodie. When she wears it up, it's usually a sign that she wants to be left alone.
115	* IntriguedByHumanity: So much that her dream is to live on Wishworld (aka Earth).
116	* LonersAreFreaks: Scarlet has to constantly put up with this outlook from her peers, including the Star Darlings. Vega even named her a suspect in her investigation into the energy crisis in the animated shorts.
117	* NightmareFetishist: For what counts as nightmares on Starland, anyway. Scarlet likes [[CallARabbitASmeerp bitbats]], animals that Starlings normally find frightening. She even bonds with some in the Star Caves.
118	* PlotAllergy: She's allergic to glowfurs, as they cause her skin to itch.
119	* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: She's not actually evil, but she is an odd loner who does nothing to counter the other girl's negative opinions of her.
120	* SurvivalMantra: Her Mirror Mantra is "It's time for some star power."
121	* YouDontLookLikeYou: Scarlet's doll has long dark purple hair tied in a ponytail instead of short fuchsia hair with dark stripes.

132	* {{Invisibility}}: Her power in the TV special.
133	* LonelyRichKid: Cassie's uncle and foster father is a successful and wealthy author, but she finds life in his mansion empty with just them and Itty. This was a big factor in Cassie's decision to apply for boarding school.
134	* MakeMeWannaShout: Cassie's power is to raise or lower the volume of sounds.
135	* NeverBeHurtAgain: A mild case of this is a FreudianExcuse for her shyness. After her parents died, Cassie has trouble getting close to other people for fear that they will eventually leave her too.

152	* {{Determinator}}: Piper wants to be the best version of herself possible, and to share it with the world by being a writer.

165	A confident, competitive girl who wants to be the best athlete in Starland. Astra shows her feelings through body language, making expressing herself verbally difficult.

184	* FatalFlaw: She can be extremely stubborn, and she's slow to adapt to change.
185	* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Downplayed with her and Gemma. While she is more calm and collected, Gemma isn’t outright stupid or foolish.

198	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She can sometimes have her head in the clouds.
199	* EnragedByIdiocy: Downplayed; Adora has little patience for people who, unlike her, let their emotions guide them instead of cold logic, but she rarely lets her irritation show. After all, behaving otherwise would be hypocritical.
200	* TheFashionista: She uses her love of science to help her in this regard.
201	* HealingHands: Her special power is to heal others. In the TV special this extends to Starlings as well.

218	* NeverBareHeaded: She's never seen without her classy fedora, which happens to be a family heirloom.
219	* ScheduleFanatic: Downplayed. Clover's not a fanatic, but she lives according to her routines and plans, and spontaneity is outside her comfort zone. This was developed as second nature in her circus, where everything is according to a plan.

231	* TheDitherer: Her wandering mind turns decision making into quite the challenge for Gemma.
232	* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Downplayed with her and Tessa. While she is notably more scatterbrained and talkative than her sister, she’s not straight-up foolish or irresponsible.

254	* EvilMentor: In later books the girls begin to worry she's this, as she apparently told [[spoiler:Ophelia to infiltrate the group and pose as an orphan]], among other crises. It turns out to be [[spoiler:Rancora posing as her]].

263	* NumberTwo: She's the only one besides the Star Darlings and Lady Stella who knows the scope of the energy crisis and the truth of their missions.
264	* ShoutOut: Her tendency to stutter brings [[Literature/HarryPotter Professor Quirrel]] to mind, [[spoiler:as does her reveal as a front for the villain]].
265	* WalkingSpoiler: Her true role makes it difficult to discuss her without revealing the twist.
266
267	!! Vivica

276	* TheDragon: Later books have her working under Rancora to cause trouble.
277	* GreenEyedMonster: Goes out of her way to make the Star Darlings miserable because she's furious that they are a part of what she thinks is some secret club and she's not.
278	* HeelFaceTurn: Hinted at in ''Stealing Starlight'', where she starts to overcome her jealousy of the Star Darlings and remembers how hopeful she was at the beginning of the year.

291	A first-year Star Darling who's not part of the main cast, she was brought in to replace Scarlet. She has orange-yellow hair tied in pigtails. Ophelia is nice, but lacking in wish potential and knowledge of Wishworld.

294	* ExtremeDoormat: She lets Leona talk about herself a lot so she doesn't have to speak up.

306	* WhamLine: She reveals that the orders to attend Starland Academy apparently came from Lady Stella.
307	* YouDontLookLikeYou: In the book series her hair is described as yellow and orange, but in the web series it's pink and red.

318

328
329	* AdaptedOut: She is not seen or mentioned in the cartoon at all.
330	* GenerationXerox: She looks exactly like an older version of Sage, down to the eyes, hair, and pointy chin.
331	* NeutralFemale: She just stands there and holds up her Wish Energy calculator as the girls battle Rancora.
332
333	!!Lady Astrid
334	The headmistress of Starling Academy when Stella, Indirra, and Cora attended. After completing her cycle of life, she appointed Stella the new headmistress in her will.
335
336	* BecauseDestinySaysSo: Astrid said she couldn't accept Cora back at the Academy, not only because of what she'd done, but because doing so would undermine the prophecy.
337	* PoorCommunicationKills: Lady Astrid only showed Stella the prophecy involving her and Cora after it became relevant by happening.

350	* MeaningfulName: Rancor is a synonym for hatred.
351	* ObviouslyEvil: From her name to her appearance, everything about Rancora screams "evil."
352	* TragicVillain: She was negatively affected by an extreme amount of negative energy. Prolonged exposure caused her to thrive on it, and she vowed revenge on Lady Stella and Starland as a whole. Making matters worse is that the whole thing was prophesied, meaning she had no way to avoid it.
353	* UsedToBeASweetKid: She used to be Lady Stella's best friend, and a promising Starling.
354	* VampiricDraining: In the cartoon, she can drain positive energy and turn it into negative energy in order to empower herself, with extreme drainage being lethal to her victims.
