She also has a Deviantart page under the same name where she has a collection of fanarts she has done for the project [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8083851/1/Disney-High The series can]] [[http://nina-d-lux.deviantart.com/gallery/36819481 be found here]].

3The story is a modern take on all the most popular Disney movies, with the characters being students in high school. A lot of plots from the classic movies have been modified to fit the high school setting (For example, Ariel has a crush on Eric and makes a deal with the school's resident bully, Ursula, into helping him notice her by 'transforming' her look)

5The main characters feature:
6* The Seniors: Flynn, Phoebus, Esmeralda, Pocahontas, Quasimodo, Aladdin, Naveen, Lottie and Tiana.
7* The Juniors: Aurora, Snow White, Cinderella, Phillip, Charming, Shang and Eric.

15!!''Disney High'' provides examples of:
16
17* AbusiveParents: Flynn. His mother is not necessarily abusive, but she does leave him home alone and seems neglectful. There is no mention of a father. Somewhat justified considering he was an abandoned child in the movie.
18* AccidentalAthlete: Mulan ends up joining the Athletics club to avoid joining the Maths or chess club like her parents want her too.
19* ActionGirl: Audrey, being the only other girl apart from Mulan on the athletics team.
20* AlphaBitch: Surprisingly for a high school story this seems to be [[AvertedTrope averted]].
21* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Averted. Belle is turned off by Adam's rough ways and there's no hint that he's popular with girls, despite Mulan saying he's attractive. Un-averted with Rapunzel as she shows interest in Flynn, though that might be because she doesn't notice/is oblivious to, his bad boy status.
22* AllGuysWantCheerleaders: Averted with Naveen, who shows more interest in Esmeralda and Tiana than he does Lottie.
23* AllWomenLoveShoes: Cinderella, slightly averted in that she is more interested in Charming, who happens to work in the shoe store.
24* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Averted. After falling asleep with Makeup on, Rapunzel wakes up with panda eyes and a pillow covered in foundation.
25* BetaCouple: Aurora and Phillip are already together at the start of the story.
26* BigFancyHouse: Jasmine lives in one of these.
27* BigManOnCampus: Gaston is this.
28* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Adam and Belle. Flynn and Rapunzel.
29* CannotTalkToWomen: Aladdin, a little bit. At least with Jasmine.
30* ComedicUnderwearExposure: Jasmine at Flynn's party, though it's only comedic to the other party goers. Jasmine herself is mortified and it's not particularly played for laughs in the story.
31* ConfiscatedPhone: Mulan gets hers taken away in Maths class which leads to her missing the memo about Athletics try outs, leaving her drastically un-prepared.
32* ConvertingForLove: Ariel changes her style to be noticed by Eric.
33* CoolGarage: Eric's house has one that his band uses for practices.
34* CoolTeacher: Jane Porter. Teaches art and is well liked by her students because she is young and kinder than a lot of other teachers.
35* ChildhoodFriends: Pocahontas and Esmeralda.
36* ConMan: Flynn. He successfully scores a free meal from a waitress by pretending to forget his wallet and instead just uses his charm. It's implied he gets away with this often.
37* ControlFreak: Tiana comes off a little like this.
38* CuteBookworm: Belle.
39* TheCutie: Rapunzel. Lampshaded by Esmeralda, who fawns over her when she does something she thinks is adorable.
40* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Ariel.
41* DarkIsNotEvil: Characters that were villains in the movies are now just portrayed as mean teachers or bullying students etc. instead of being flat out evil.
42* DeadpanSnarker: Phoebus comes across as this quite often. Jasmine has her moments, and surprisingly Snow White's character has been altered to become this.
43* {{Determinator}}: Ariel.
44* DerailingLoveInterests: John Smith was introduced first in the story, but John Rolfe was also introduced later. It is not clear who Pocahontas will end up with, since the story might mimic the canon movie ending, or go with the more popular pairing of Pocahontas and John Smith.
45* DoggedNiceGuy: Quasimodo.
46* DontYouDarePityMe: Flynn when his friends worry over how his Mother left him alone for weeks to go on holiday with a new boyfriend.
47* DramaClub: The senior drama class. Played for laughs as no one in the class takes acting seriously and only take the elective as it's seen as an easy A.
48* DrillSergeantNasty: Shang, who takes his role as Athletics captain very seriously, as he knows he only got it because his dad is head of the sports department. He is determined to prove himself by making the team successful.
49* EducationMama: Mulan's mom is this.
50* EntitledToHaveYou: How one of the Stabbington brothers feel towards Rapunzel after he felt he had tried to be nice to her all night at Flynn's party.
51* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Mulan teases that Belle has a crush on Adam, which she denies.
52* FieryRedhead: Again, Ariel.
53* ForeignExchangeStudent: Naveen.
54* FriendlessBackground: Belle.
55* GirlPosse: Jasmine, Mulan, Ariel and Rapunzel form one. There's also Aurora, Snow and Cinderella, as well as the cheerleaders.
56* AGoodNameForARockBand: Eric's band used to be called "The Lost Boys" (a ShoutOut to ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'', as his character is a member) until Audrey, and later Ariel, also joined. Now they are called "The Second Star on the Right" which they shorten to "The Second Stars" which we're told Peter's girlfriend Wendy came up with.
57* GroupHug: When Ariel joins Eric's band, Peter grabs everyone for one of these.
58* GuysAreSlobs: Flynn, his room is ridiculously messy. Averted with Esmeralda, who's room is just as bad.
59* HighSchoolAU: The entire premise of the fic.
60* HeterosexualLifePartners: Pocahontas and Esmeralda can be seen like this.
61* HighSchoolDance: Pocahontas and Tiana organize one to raise money to save the senior quad, which is getting torn down to build a new parking lot.
62* HighSchoolHustler: Aladdin is said to be this at his old school, which he got expelled from for managing to steal free lunches for two whole years.
63* HomeSchooledKids: Rapunzel.
64* HotLibrarian: Meg is one.
65* HotTeacher: Jim Hawkins teaches junior Science classes and is seen this way by most of his female students
66* ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe: Rapunzel wondering why Flynn takes such an interest in her. She doesn't know that he is doing it on a bet with Phoebus and Esmeralda (Though they are only baiting him into the bet since they know he would most likely fall for Rapunzel if he got to know her, as they knew he would only deny his feelings if left on his own)
67* IllTakeTwoBeersToo: Meg and Jane order drinks at the 'casual staff party'. Meg asks for two shots of tequila and Jane starts to protest that she doesn't even like tequila... only to cut herself off when Meg downs both shots right away.
68* InsufferableGenius: Tiana comes across as this to her classmates as she complains when they slack off on their school work.
69* ItDoesntMeanAnything: Esmeralda and Naveen. It's confirmed that she has no real feelings for him, and it's implied that he doesn't have them for her either.
70* {{Jerkass}}: Gaston. Especially when dealing with Belle. Adam shows shades of this but it's more than likely he will turn out to be a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
71* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Flynn, with only Rapunzel drawing out his softer side.
72* JustFriends: Esmeralda reveals to Rapunzel and Jasmine that she used to like someone, but he only saw her as this, so she never told him.
73* TheLadette: Audrey, and to a certain degree, Esmeralda. Though that is more in her personality.
74* LadykillerInLove: Flynn.
75* LateForSchool: Cinderella in her introduction.
76* LongHairIsFeminine: Averted. Rapunzel is said to have short right from the start of the story, instead of her long blonde style she has for most of her movie, yet she is still portrayed as very girly and feminine.
77* LoveMakesYouDumb: The way Jasmine tends to see things.
78* MamaBear: Esmeralda is this towards her friends, and Especially the younger Jasmine and Rapunzel.
79* MoodWhiplash: After two chapters of a mostly lighthearted party at Flynn's house, it ends with a scene of Rapunzel suddenly in danger of being attacked by the Stabbington brothers. Luckily they are stopped, but it is a very drama filled scene in contrast with the rest of the comedic story.
80* NoIndoorVoice: Lottie.
81* NearRapeExperience: Happens to Rapunzel.
82* NewTransferStudent: Rapunzel.
83* OnlySaneMan: Pocahontas in her group of friends.
84* PassingNotesInClass: Adam to Belle, only to tell her she needs to finish a report for him though.
85* PimpedOutDress: Jasmine wears one to Flynn's party and it ends up being accidentally ruined by Aladdin.
86* PhoneaholicTeenager: To a certain degree, most of the characters. Justified as it's a modern high school story and they are used realistically.
87* PlayingHardToGet: Jasmine.
88* PrecociousCrush: Ariel and Cinderella.
89* TheReliableOne: Tiana and Pocahontas.
90* SchoolClubsAreSeriousBusiness: High school dance committees are serious business.
91* SchoolPlay: The senior drama class is putting on a performance of A Midsummer Nights Dream....set in space. Thanks to their eccentric drama teacher, Clopin.
92* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: Flynn as a senior in high school sees it as his right to be able to push in front of younger kids in the lunch line.
93* ShipperOnDeck: Esmeralda and Phoebus are the ones who push Flynn towards Rapunzel and Esmeralda encouraged Jasmine to give Aladdin a second chance.
94* SickeninglySweethearts: Aurora and Phillip, which their friends like to point out.
95* SmittenTeenageGirl: Ariel is this towards Eric, as well as Rapunzel with Flynn and Lottie with Naveen. A gender flipped version is Aladdin being smitten with Jasmine.
96* StalkingIsFunnyIfItsFemaleAfterMale: Snow jokes that Cinderella is stalking Charming when she points out that she visits the shoe shop he works at way too much. "I go in to look at shoes!" "Sure you do, Stalkerella [=McCreeperson=]."
97* StepUpToTheMicrophone: Ariel comes along to Eric's band practice to watch but after finding out she likes singing they ask to hear her perform with them for fun. They end up being impressed enough to want her in the band, since they mention Eric was only their current singer since they couldn't find anyone better.
98* SuckySchool: It's been said that the cafeteria food is awful, the football team sucks and half the teachers are in some way incompetent . This is all played for laughs though.
99* TreeCover: Pocahontas is hiding in a tree to listen in on John Smith.
100* TheTrickster: Flynn and Phoebus. It's been mentioned that they have this reputation around school, and that they once glued all the locks on the doors shut and uploaded embarrassing footage of the school's football team onto Website/YouTube.
101* UnderstandingBoyfriend: Phillip is this to Aurora after cheer tryouts go horribly.
102* WaxingLyrical: Aladdin mistakenly believes that Jasmine will only date someone who knows all the lyrics to an album by Music/MileyCyrus off by heart. When they are talking at Flynn's party and he tries to convince her he's really an Arabian prince who's only moved to the US recently, he desperately comes up with this:
103-->'''Aladdin:''' I just got here... hopped off the plane at L.A.X... with my dream and um... my cardingan. I mean... it's the land of fame excess... I was kinda worried I wasn't going to fit in.\
104'''Jasmine:''' Are you... are those the lyrics to Miley Cyrus's "Party in the USA"?\
105'''Aladdin:''' ... maybe.
106* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Jasmine on Ariel's interest in Eric.
