History Literature / StellarRangerDarkStar

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: There are a lot of Stellar Rangers and enemies thereof.

* {{Transgender}}: Cassie and Gemini. Octy is genderfluid.

* YourCheatingHeart: Hal is introduced alongside his boyfriend, Jordy. What Jordy isn't aware of is that Hal is also romantically tied to Lanessa.

->"The public can't know about the existence of magi people among them. They’d panic, among other things."
* WorldOfActionGirls: Being a MagicalGirlWarrior series, this is a given. The main Stellar Rangers are all female, and many of the minor ones are also female. There are male Stellar Rangers, but the only major one is [[TheMentor Mr. Vember]]. Male characters tend to be minor civilians, side characters, or villains (such as [[EvilOverlord Baron Stellos]] and his army). There are also several {{Dark Action Girl}}s like the Puppetrix, General Layon of the Savage Stars, [[spoiler:Lanessa de Vran Sie]], and [[CreepyTwins Vanra and Zanra]].

* BeachEpisode: The epilogue chapter has the cast taking a break on a Florida beach.

* BusmansHoliday: The Epilogue chapter is a BeachEpisode with the Rangers going to a Florida beach to relax after beating Baron Stellos. Unfortunately for them, [[spoiler:the Puppetrix]] has prepared a trap for them and desires one last battle, forcing them to save the day once again.

* FullNameUltimatum: In chapter 10, Novias gives one to Senine:

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: The Shining Stars apparently defeat a Starborn Horror- a powerful monster usually only beatable by full-fledged rangers- just before the concert, and did it easily.

* CastFullOfGay: Basically all the rangers and students are lesbians (or in June and Hal's case,
* DarkMagicalGirl: Senine.
* EnsembleCast: There are a LOT of Stellar Rangers.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters

-->I wish they were more predictable? Stellos did [[MonsterOfTheWeek the same thing the same way every time]]. The Savage Stars had a [[NobleDemon code of honor]]. [[spoiler:Lanessa]] was...[[NotQuiteDead is]], enough of a megalomaniac that Auggie could pretty accurately guess what she was going to do towards the end. [...] Whereas the Anras have a set of rules they follow, until they don’t. They have a standard method of doing things, until they don’t. They’re fractured and easy to rattle and manipulate, until they aren’t. Nothing works consistently on them, and we don’t know what they’re going to do next.

* BigBad: [[EvilOverlord Baron Stellos]] is the leader of the Hollow Hearts Army who desires to conquer the Earth and add the [[OurSoulsAreDifferent star hearts]] of its inhabitants to his collection. The reason he is doing this is because [[spoiler:he is collecting the Star hearts in memory of Kilaua, his beloved who was killed by the Savage Stars... or so it seems, but [[DiscOneFinalBoss Stellos]] was [[TheWomanBehindTheMan being manipulated]] by her all along.]]

* ArmouredClosetGay: Amber, for a while.
* BadassAdorable: Faye, especially.

%%* CallingYourAttacks
%%* CastFullOfGay
* CuteMonsterGirl: Faye again - being both a bubbly cheerleader and a chimera make her this trope to a T.

* HiddenDepths: Amber behaves like the typical AlphaBitch cheerleader in public, but is secretly a WrenchWench.
-->The cheerleader looked at herself again in the mirror. So many secrets in her life, what could one more hurt? So many things made her not who she wanted to be. She was not a vapid airhead. She was not nearly as mean as she tried to be. Truth be told, she cared more about cars than she did boys or music or any other things her peers cared about. The thought of being a freak, of being ostracized, however, was deeper than the desire to be herself.

* PerformanceArtist: Octy fits this, though the trope typically has a CampGay character in this role.

“Oh, [[spoiler:Vinnie]]. He was careless, yes. And your human machines are so..easy.” [[spoiler:Lanessa]] shrugged. “Honestly, June, [[spoiler:Vinnie]] just needed a very, very slight push and a slightly malfunctioning car. He wasn’t the person who [[spoiler:killed your parents]], he was just an instrument. I did it. To help you.”\\\

“Yes! Look at everything you’ve survived because I murdered them! [[EvilOverlord Baron Stellos]]--oh, [[spoiler:[[TheWomanBehindTheMan I’m responsible for him]], too]], by the way, the [[ProfessionalKiller Savage Stars]], the [[MarionetteMaster Puppetrix]]--which wasn’t mine, by the way, and now, the death of [[spoiler:[[MentorOccupationalHazard your mentor]]]] and the destruction of your safe place.” Lanessa sighed. “I’m so proud of you. A lesser person of your mantle would have exploded a very long time ago, or at least, have been consumed by their powers. But you...you’ve become so beautiful and strong.”

* MiserybuildsCharacter: [[spoiler:[[BigBad Lanessa de Vran Sie]]]] believes in this trope, and its the reason why she [[spoiler:caused the crash that killed June's parents]] and brought June so much suffering- it would make her strong enough to withstandanything.

“Yes! Look at everything you’ve survived because I murdered them!
