''Star Darlings'' is a Creator/{{Disney}}-published franchise created in 2015 by Shana and Ahmet Zappa. The franchise focuses on the inhabitants of Starland, who live on a star and grant human wishes. To them, Earth is Wishworld and we're Wishlings.

Due to a wish energy crisis, it's decided that young female Starlings, called Star Darlings, will take up the difficult task of granting young Wishlings' wishes.

A series of 12 books are planned thus far, as are an animated web series, dolls, lifestyle and storytelling apps, and music.

----
!!This franchise contains examples of:
* CastFromHitPoints: Wish energy is what powers Starland, so using excessive amounts of energy granting small wishes makes Star Darlings exhausted.
* {{Constellations}}: Each Star Darling has traits associated with a constellation, as well as their birthday's corresponding Zodiac sign.
* EnsembleCast: There are 12 main girls, each with her own book, as well as several Starling adults and inhabitants of Earth.
* {{Glamour}}: Star Darlings and Starlings in general adapt human appearances on Earth, covering up their skin's natural sparkle and unnaturally-colored hair.
* HatePlague: Starting with the second book, ''Libby and the Class Election'', something in Starland has been causing the girls to argue amongst themselves. The exact cause isn't discovered in the book, but is implied to be [[spoiler:the flowers in the girls' rooms]].
* SkunkStripe: While disguised on Earth, Libby retains a streak of her natural pink hair.
* {{Smurfing}}: Several Starland terms and expressions have the word 'star' in them.
* UnfortunateNames: When trying to think of a fake name, Libby gives herself the last name Liverwurst.
* {{Veganopia}}: No one on Starland, including animals, eats meat. When Libby sees an Earth zoo exhibit about sea lions eating fish, she's unsure how to feel, having never seen carnivores before.
* WorldBuilding: Each book has a detailed glossary to explain terms, and goes into detail about the Starling life cycle.
