The operator of the spell shop at the Trollzopolis Mall, Obsidian has a very wide array of knowledge. Though she mentors all five of the BFFL as a whole and was the first of the five Ancients that the girls met, Obsidian's definitely the closest to Ruby Trollman, especially since Obsidian is Ruby's Ancient. Obsidian's advice can sometimes be cryptic, but she generally has a good reason for keeping secrets. She and the other Ancients fought Simon 3,000 years ago.Grandma van der Troll
One of the five Ancients who is not only Amethyst's grandmother, but is also her granddaughter's Ancient. Similar to Obsidian, while Grandma van der Troll is obviously closer to Amethyst than the other four members of BFFL, she mentors all five of them as a whole and is always eager to listen or help if the situation calls for it.

Zirconia
Topaz's Ancient who also happens to be Spinell's wife. She fought Simon long ago alongside the other Ancients, but it came at a cost—he imprisoned her within a tree for 3,000 years, draining her magic. At first, Topaz was in denial of Zirconia being her Ancient, but eventually came to accept it, especially when she and Zirconia bonded over a common interest in fashion.

Once the BFFL accidentally free him, he intends to finish what he began and conquer the world—but luckily, the Magic of the Five can put an end to his evil plans.
