First airing in the United States in 1995, ''Princess Gwenevere'' ran for two seasons, with 13 episodes each season, produced by the same company that made ''KingArthurAndTheKnightsOfJustice''. Some call it out as a ''Sailor Moon'' ripoff, but it's a cute series for fans of the Magical Girl and MagicalGirlWarrior genres. It's obscure, but seems to have a bit of a cult following. It also heavily inspired the ''AvalonWebOfMagic'' series.

[[TheVillainMakesThePlot However, trouble strikes]] when the evil Lady Kale finds the [[TheDarkSide Dark Stone]] and uses it to banish Merlin to the realm of [[WildMagic Wild Magic]] so she can steal the magical Crown Jewels to [[CainAndAbel bring down her sister]] Anya and [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen become the new queen]] of Avalon, [[TakeOverTheWorld taking over all the magic]] for herself to rule. But Merlin scatters the jewels at the [[JustInTime last minute]], sending the Jewel Riders and Kale on a mad search [[GottaCatchEmAll to get them all]] first.
By the end of the first season, Kale is [[HoistByHisOwnPetard herself sent into the Wild Magic]], but they are still unable to rescue Merlin. Season two picks up with Lady Kale meeting [[ArchEnemy Morgana]], one of the ancient [[EvilSorcerer Grand Wizards]]. Morgana, too, is trapped within the realm of Wild Magic and so she [[VillainTeamUp strikes a deal]] with Kale to help each other out and return with a vengeance. The Jewel Riders must now search for the Wizard Jewels, defeat their enemies, save Merlin, lather, rinse, repeat.
First airing in the United States in 1995, ''Princess Gwenevere'' ran for two seasons, with 13 episodes each season. Some call it out as a ''Sailor Moon'' ripoff, but it's a cute series for fans of the Magical Girl and MagicalGirlWarrior genres. It's obscure, but seems to have a bit of a cult following. It also heavily inspired the ''AvalonWebOfMagic'' series.
----
!!This show provides examples of:
* ActionGirl: Fallon is the group's tomboy, especially [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl when compared to Tamara]].
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Sunstar, Gwen's {{unicorn}} animal friend, started out as an outcast among the unicorns because she had wings but was [[AcrophobicBird afraid of flying]].
** Shadowsong too, in virtue of being pink [[RealMenWearPink like the real stallions]].
* AnachronismStew: Aside from the usual Middle Ages confusions, their transformed costumes look like something that should take place in modern day, Lady Kale 'broadcasts' her voice as [[LargeHamRadio "Station K.A.L.E"]], while in a dream sequence Gwenevere runs into a modern supermarket and acts like it's completely normal.
* ArcNumber: Seven. There are seven Crown Jewels, seven (later eight) lands of Avalon, and seven Wizard Jewels (including the Dark Stone, which originally belonged to Morgana).
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: In the episode "The Faery Princess", Kale arrives in the land of tiny fairies and decides it's a perfect new kingdom for her to rule because of her giant size, so she attempts to destroy the king of fairies and usurp the power.
* BadassPrincess: Gwenevere (good-badass) and Kale (bad-badass and with a [[BadassCape badass cape]] too) both are princesses of Avalon.
* BadFuture: Episode "Fortune Jewel" involves one of the Wizard Jewels being able to see into the future, and thus revealing a possible one in which Morgana conquers all of Avalon (naturally, the Jewel Riders are able to prevent it from coming true).
* BeYourself: What the mer-boy learns in episode 21, "Jewel of the Sea".
* BeastMan: Ian, the young prince of the Arden Forest [[ShapeshiftingLover in love]] with Gwen, is actually a [[WolfMan werewolf]]-like creatures and [[ShapeshifterDefaultForm only changes]] into a human.
* BigBad: The enchantress Morgana, who was the creator and original user of Kale's Dark Stone. Curiously, she has also an appearance of a [[OurElvesAreBetter dark elf]] here, while Merlin [[ElvesVersusDwarves looks kinda dwarfish]].
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Gwenevere, Fallon and Tamara, respectively.
* BondOneLiner: Gwen's "You are now as cold as your heart" and "She's stone cold" about Kale being turned to stone.
* ButNowIMustGo: Shadowsong in his self-titled first appearance, although he tells Tamara that she can just call for him if she needs him.
* ByThePowerOfGreyskull: Does not apply to the use of the Dark Stone though, which works without speaking.
** Averted in episode 22 ("Trouble in Elf Town"), where, for some reason, they summon their jewel armor without speaking the transformation phrase.
* CircleOfFriendship: A running theme.
* ConspicuousCGI: Any time it shows the area around the characters while travelling, as well as some of the cuts in the intro.
* DarkerAndEdgier: The second season episode "Shadowsong" would like to think it's this when Tamara thinks Shadowsong is dead, she starts blaming herself and her Heart Stone. Fortunately, this lasts for a only less than a minute before Shadowsong awakens and Tamara can now understand him. All the while, this episode never loses its idealism for even a second, making it a subversion of this trope.
* DarkIsEvil: Obviously, that's why the Dark Stone has its name, also being the [[GoodWeaponEvilWeapon opposite of the Sun Stone]].
* DisneyDeath: Implied with Shadowsong; the result is still the same either way, fortunately.
* DragonRider: Kale uses a big red dragon named [[GrimmFairyTales Grimm]] for transportation. In a quite unusual way, however, as it carries her in a "[[SublimeRhyme dragon wagon]]" that she's sitting in.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Kale has a soft spot for including Grimm the dragon, even liking his [[EvilSmellsBad evil bad smell]].
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Obviously. And there's even an [[TheEvilPrince evil princess]].
* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry: Literally - even the cliffs of a desert canyon in "Badlands".
* EvilGloating: When Kale [[TakingOverTheTown captures the New Camelot]] and takes the Jewel Riders' powers from them in the last scene of "Revenge of the Dark Stone", all she does is [[EvilIsHammy is showing off]], then lets them escape or maybe [[NotWorthKilling just lets them go]] (what exactly happened before the next episode is not actually shown).
* EvilFeelsGood: Kale quite often, with a small dose of [[BeingEvilSucks the opposite]] too.
* EvilPlan: Morgana's ancient pre-recorded message for the other evil Wizards in the episode 12, "Revenge of the Dark Stone".
* EvilTwin: Kale is the one for Anya, which also makes her an [[EvilUncle evil aunt]] of Gwen.
* FashionShow: Episode 16, the appropriately titled "Fashion Fever", when Kale sneaks into the Crystal Palace to HypnotizeThePrincess.
* FollowTheLeader: So much that many called this show a ''SailorMoon'' [[CompletelyMissingThePoint "ripoff"]].
* FortuneTeller: The episode "Fortune Jewel" is based around Esmeralda the fortune teller (and her magic jewel).
* FreudianExcuse: Kale's evil campaign began when her sister Anya was chosen for the Sun Stone over her.
* FrillyUpgrade: After gathering the Crown Jewels, the girls discover that they have been given new "Level Two" magical armors and [[NewSuperPower new powers]] seven times more powerful than before.
* FunctionalMagic: The show centers around it. Includes MagicMusic in some episodes such as "Travel Trees Can't Dance" and "Sweet Home Heart Stone".
* HostageforMacGuffin: Sunstar is captured by Kale and held in exchange to the key to the Jewel Box, forcing the good guys to to do StormingTheCastle in the second part of "Jewel Quest".
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Fallon.
* GreenEyedMonster: Lady Kale is furious over the fact that, as mentioned before, she was denied the Sun Stone by Merlin, thus losing the throne of Avalon [[TheUnfavourite to her sister]].
* GoodColorsEvilColors: The evil magic is red.
** GoodHairEvilHair: Good Queen Anya is a [[HairOfGold blonde]] while her evil sister is a brunette.
** GoodColorsEvilColors apply to their costumes too ([[TrueBlueFemininity blue]]-and-white vs [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red-and-black]]-and-[[PurpleIsPowerful purple]]).
** As does GoodEyesEvilEyes to their eyes (Anya's blue and Kale's purple and sometimes also extremely slant).
* GottaCatchThemAll: Both sides try to find and retrieve the scattered Crown Jewels, and then the long-lost Wizard Jewels in the second season.
* HeelFaceTurn: Gwen and Kale swapping their roles through much of the episode "Dremafields" when they both are dreaming.
* HeyItsThatVoice: ''Galaxy Rangers'' fans will definitely recognize Laura Dean, Henry Mandell (the creator's brother) and [[SpeedRacer Corrine Orr]]. One troper did a double take because Orr's "Kale voice" is the same one she used for [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers The Queen of the Crown]], and Tamara's voice is the same as the one Dean did for Niko.
** Gwenevere herself is voiced by singer and Tony-nominated Broadway actress, Kerry Butler, who has starred in ''Theatre/LesMiserables'', ''{{Hairspray}}'', ''{{Beauty and the Beast}}'', and ''Film/{{Xanadu}}'', among others.
* HotWitch: Kale and Morgana, complete with FemmeFatalons and ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow.
* HourglassPlot: The whole plot of the episode "Dreamfields", taking place in a DreamLand.
* ILied: Kale in the episode "Badlands".
* InvoluntaryGroupSplit: Happens to the Jewel Riders in several episodes, such as "Wizard's Peak" and "Mystery Island", and to Kale in "Travel Trees Can't Dance".
* ItsQuietTooQuiet: Spoken in "Trouble in Elf Town".
* [[AutobotsRockOut Jewel Riders Rock Out]]: Episode 10, however the scene in question just uses the opening theme.
* ItsUpToYou: After Fallon and Tamara get turned into stone, Gwen/Starla and Sunstar are the only ones left to use the Wizard Jewels to create the One Jewel, bring Merlin home, and save Avalon from a BadFuture (fortunately, Fallon and Tamara [[IGotBetter get better]]).
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The series has yet to come out on DVD and exists on scattered VHS tapes.
** There was a DVD release in the United States (it was "region 0", but was still official) from Digiview Entertainment, but it contained only the first few episodes, some episodes were "mapped" to the wrong titles, and it ended up being the ''Starla'' version despite calling itself ''Princess Gwenevere''. This same DVD was later [[UpdatedRerelease "updated"]] to contain a couple more episodes. It has since gone out of print.
** Actually there were since then also various releases in the other countries (in their local language), and as of 2010 the whole series in English (along with other BKN series) is now legally available for viewing for free at the website Kidlet.tv, but requires free registration. As of 2012 the show is also avalable on {{Netflix}}.
* KicktheDog: Already in the first episode Kale is ordering Grimm to "fry" a pursued hawk and abuses an unicorn (which angers the girls when they witness it).
* LadyInRed: The dresses of both Kale's and Gwen's (Kale-made and magical) in "Fashion Fever".
* LargeHam: If you look carefully, you can actually see the gnaw marks on the scenery where Kale has [[ChewingTheScenery chewed on it.]] That's including an EvilLaugh galore.
** This including all the PungeonMaster stuff such as "Freeze me and I'm yours forever" and "Threy're bored to stiff" (in "Revenge of the Dark Stone"), or "And if anything happens to the [the sheep], you'll be in [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar sheep dip]]" and "You're pixie dust" (in "The Faery Princess").
* MagicalGirlWarrior: The Jewel Riders are magical defenders of Avalon and have their equally young [[DistaffCounterpart male counterparts]], the three [[HorseOfADifferentColor wolf-riding]] knights known as The Pack (who are however not much more than just sidekicks).
* MagicDance: Featured in the episode "Travel Trees Can't Dance".
* MagicMisfire: Happens repeatedly through the series, often to Kale.
* MarketBasedTitle: The international version of the show is called ''Starla and the Jewel Riders''.
* MeaningfulName: All over the place.
* MerchandiseDriven: The series was actually commissioned by Hasbro so they would make some toys.
* MineralMacGuffin: Crown Jewels in the first series, the Wizard Jewels in the second one.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Sunstar is a unicorn with wings, and in the second season we get the zebra/unicorn mix Shadowsong. The dweasels are "dino weasels".
* MobileMaze: A moving hedge maze, complete with a [[LivingStatue living hedge monster]], is scenario for the episode "Wizard of Gardenia".
* NoHonorAmongThieves: In the second episode there's forced and uneasy [[VillainTeamUp villain alliance]] between Kale and Morgana, who both want to [[ICanRuleAlone rule Avalon alone]].
* NonHumanSidekick: A lot, as the Jewel Riders and the Pack have their own, and so has Kale (Gwen's Sunstar, Merlin's Archie, Fallon's Moondance, Kale's Grimm, Rufus and Twig, Tamara's Shadowsong, among others). In fact Kale appears to have no human followers whatsoever.
* NothingCanStopUsNow: "Nothing can stop me now" said by Kale in the frsit episode. Followed by ThisCannotBe in the finale of the first season as the "new Queen" Kale thinks she has won and attempts to seize control of the Crown Jewels, but her [[CriticalFailure critical failure]] makes her [[IncredibleShrinkingMan shrink to a miniature size]] and then dematerializing her body into the Wild Magic.
* OminousOperaCape: Kale's, often complete with the CapeSwish effect on purpose.
* OurGeniesAreDifferent: The very cartoonish genie Guardian is a keper of the Hall of Wizards who plays a major role in "Wizard's Peak" and "Morgana".
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Kale's stopping herself from taking a Crown Jewel the final scenes of "Dreamfields", prompting Gwen to tell her evil aunt [[RousseauWasRight there's good inside of her]] after all.
* {{Outlaw}}: The Outlaws are a band of brigands featured in the episodes "Badlands" and "Prince of the Forest". Kale is an outlaw too, after she was banished from Camelot for trying to forcefully usurp the throne.
* PaperThinDisguise: Such perfect disguises as wearing a dress and using a false name were successfully used by Kale repeatedly, mostly to get inside the New Camelot and then into the royal Crystal Palace.
* PimpedOutDress: The girls have several, for special events.
* PowerFloats: Applies to Morgana and also to Kale when she managed to take over most of magic in the episode 12 and became [[SuperMode really powerful]].
* PowerGlows: Or at least the magic does.
* RedheadInGreen: Tamara, although she's more of a [[RoseHairedGirl pink-haired girl]] in pastel green shades.
* ShoutOut: "Trouble in Elf Town" is a shout out to the [[TheWestern classic western]].
* SomeoneElsesProblem: After he becomes human, the mer-boy decides that a sea monster is Tamara's problem. The other Jewel Riders eventually call him out on it.
* StayingAlive: Kale manages to survive being magically dematerialized and vanishing into Wild Magic - where she is then also magically restored, accidental courtesy of Morgana in her attempt to retrieve the Dark Stone.
* TalkingAnimal: Vocally only Archie, Merlin's [[TheOwlKnowingOne nerdy owl]] that is accompanying the heroines. Every [[BondCreatures animal bonded]] to an Enchanted Jewel is also able to communicate telephatically with its Jewel's user. In addition Tamara can use her Heart Stone to talk with all animals (except Shadowsong at first) and they can also speak with each other. The occasional [[FunnyAnimal humanoid animal]] creatures also talk normally.
* PrincessesPreferPink: Or at least Gwen/Starla does, but Kale's red outfits are largely pink-ish too.
* ShapeShifting: Lots! Besides Ian, there is also a shapeshifting genie guardian of the Wizard's Peak, the Jewel Raiders turn into {{mermaid}}s in one episode, Kale magically changes into an older woman for a disguise, and (in the same episode) one of the ancient Wizards is permanently {{curse}}d into the form of a cat.
* ShoutOut: One of the episodes starts off with a guest star who laments that nothing exciting happens in her town. It is an almost line-by-line recreation of the opening scene from Tom [=DeHaven's=] [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers "Galaxy Stranger"]], using the same voice actress.
* StylishProtectionGear: Travelling in snowy mountains, the girls wear outfits trimmed with [[PrettyInMink white fur]].
* SwordFight: Happens only once and even then the swords are created by holding magical jewels, LaserBlade style but somehow solid. In "Fashion Fever", Drake and Tamara attack Kale, who [[VillainousValour outfences them both]], and eventually drops FallingChandelierOfDoom on Drake, only for [[DistressedDude him to be saved]] by a rope-swing Gwen.
* TakenForGranite: Getting petrified happens to Fallon and Tamara and their animals (temporarily) and then to Kale and her crew (pernamently?) at the end of the second season. All of the living things in New Camelot are cursed into suspended animation in the finale of the first season, and Archie turns into a crystal for a while in one episode.
* TeleportersAndTransporters: Here in the form of Travel Trees that are creating entry points into the Wild Magic tunnels.
* TheBaroness: Lady Kale, whose [[ScaryImpracticalArmor dragon-themed armor]] even looks a lot like this of Baroness.
* TheFairFolk: The fearies and their own MagicalLand are the titular subject of the episode "The Faery Princess".
* TheHighQueen: Anya is a very personification of this trope. Kale would be [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen not so much]].
* TheJimmyHartVersion: At one point, "Trouble in Elf Town" features music resembling Tchaikovsky's Waltz of the Flowers from his [[Theatre/TheNutcracker Nutcracker Suite]].
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Then again, it's hard ''not'' to name a 1990s program for girls that didn't have this. But there's even a "Friendship Circle" ceremony performed twice in the first season alone.
* ThePowerOfLove: Concerns the second-season relationship of Ian and Gwen.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Rufus and Twig, Kale's dweasels.
* TokenBlack: Fallon. Officially, she's a {{Gypsy}}.
* TransformationTrinket: The Jewel Riders' Enchanted Jewels and Kale's Dark Stone, for their respective [[InstantArmor Jewel Armors]] (Kale's wearing hers most of the time, though), and Ian's jewel too.
* TransformationSequence: With the [[TransformationIsAFreeAction usual attributes]] of this.
* TreasureRoom: In the Crystal Palace there's the Jewel Keep room where all the recovered magical Crown Jewels are being safely kept (or at least supposedly, as Kale manages to get there quite easily). Another such room, the Hall of Wizards, is hidden in a cave labyrinth inside the mountain of the Wizard's Peak mountain and is visited by the both sides repeatedly.
* [[TwoTimerDate Three Timer Date]]: By Drake, the leader of The Pack who usually hits on Gwen only. To be fair to the guy, it was mostly the fault of a wicked [[TalkingWeapon talking sword]].
* UnderTheSea: Episode 21, "Jewel of the Sea".
* UselessBoyfriend: The wielders of the Forest Stones, despite having badass wolf mounts, battle armor, and training, are usually of much use other than as the local chew toys (but occasionally this [[TheCavalry wolf cavalry]] actually comes to the rescue, including in the final episode).
* VillainOpeningScene: The show opens with the scene of Kale finding the Dark Stone, empowering herself against Merlin and [[CainAndAbel her sister Anya]] and [[TheVillainMakesThePlot starting the trouble]] in the [[TheKingdom otherwise peaceful kingdom]].
* WarriorPrince: Or actually a princess. Applies to Gwenevere as well as her mother Anya once too, as the future queens are given the Sun Stone to lead the current Jewel Riders for generations.
* WeWillMeetAgain: As spoken repeatedly by Kale in a variety of ways whenever she [[VillainExitStageLeft flies off after losing a jewel]] through the most of first season.
* [[WellDoneSonGuy Well Done Daughter Guy and Girl]]: Fallon's parents in "Badlands".
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Averted as Tamara's Heart Stone was just as useful as anyone else's jewel.
* WildMagic: The source of all magic, kept in check by Merlin. With him being banished, Wild Magic is beginning to get out of hand in Avalon, causing destructive outbreaks.
* WizardDuel: Happens through the series (or at least this kind of a "duel" where the bad side is usually outnumbered).
* WizardsLiveLonger: Althrough it is never properly explained, apparently both Merlin and Morgana (and the rest of the ancient Wizards) are around for at least one thousand years.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Tamara has pink hair and Fallon has purple.

Following in the footsteps of better-known shows such as ''WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower'', ''Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders'' (known as ''Starla and the Jewel Riders'' outside the United States) was a MagicalGirl show very loosely inspired by the [[KingArthur Arthurian]] myths. It was created by Robert Mandell of ''[[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers Galaxy Rangers]]'' fame, and even used some of the same voice actors.
Our story follows [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses Princess]] Gwenevere (or Starla), the teenage daughter of Queen Anya of Avalon, and her friends [[RoseHairedGirl Tamara]] and [[TokenBlack Fallon]], as they quest to retrieve the [[MacGuffin Crown Jewels]] that keep the {{magic}} of [[TheKingdom the kingdom]] in check with the help of good wizard Merlin. The girls were chosen to be the Jewel Riders, and each has been given an [[PowerCrystal Enchanted Jewel]] that gives her special powers: Gwenevere with the Sun Stone, Fallon with the Moon Stone and Tamara with the [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway Heart Stone]]. Each girl also has an [[NonHumanSidekick animal friend]] who can communicate with her, [[BondCreatures bonded]] with their respective Enchanted Jewel.
[[TheVillainMakesThePlot However, trouble strikes]] when the evil Lady Kale finds the [[TheDarkSide Dark Stone]] and uses it to banish Merlin to the realm of [[WildMagic Wild Magic]] so she can steal the magical Crown Jewels to [[CainAndAbel bring down her sister]] Anya and [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen become the new queen]] of Avalon, [[TakeOverTheWorld taking over all the magic]] for herself to rule. But Merlin scatters the jewels at the [[JustInTime last minute]], sending the Jewel Riders and Kale on a mad search [[GottaCatchEmAll to get them all]] first.
By the end of the first season, Kale is [[HoistByHisOwnPetard herself sent into the Wild Magic]], but they are still unable to rescue Merlin. Season two picks up with Lady Kale meeting [[ArchEnemy Morgana]], one of the ancient [[EvilSorcerer Grand Wizards]]. Morgana, too, is trapped within the realm of Wild Magic and so she [[VillainTeamUp strikes a deal]] with Kale to help each other out and return with a vengeance. The Jewel Riders must now search for the Wizard Jewels, defeat their enemies, save Merlin, lather, rinse, repeat.

* MagicalGirlWarrior: The Jewel Riders are magical defenders of Avalon and have their equally young [[DistaffCounterpart male counterparts]], the three [[HorseOfADifferentColor wolf-riding]] knights known as The Pack (who are however not much more than just sidekicks).
* MagicDance: Featured in the episode "Travel Trees Can't Dance".
* MagicMisfire: Happens repeatedly through the series, often to Kale.
* MarketBasedTitle: The international version of the show is called ''Starla and the Jewel Riders''.
* MeaningfulName: All over the place.
* MerchandiseDriven: The series was actually commissioned by Hasbro so they would make some toys.
* MineralMacGuffin: Crown Jewels in the first series, the Wizard Jewels in the second one.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Sunstar is a unicorn with wings, and in the second season we get the zebra/unicorn mix Shadowsong. The dweasels are "dino weasels".
* MobileMaze: A moving hedge maze, complete with a [[LivingStatue living hedge monster]], is scenario for the episode "Wizard of Gardenia".
* NoHonorAmongThieves: In the second episode there's forced and uneasy [[VillainTeamUp villain alliance]] between Kale and Morgana, who both want to [[ICanRuleAlone rule Avalon alone]].
* NonHumanSidekick: A lot, as the Jewel Riders and the Pack have their own, and so has Kale (Gwen's Sunstar, Merlin's Archie, Fallon's Moondance, Kale's Grimm, Rufus and Twig, Tamara's Shadowsong, among others). In fact Kale appears to have no human followers whatsoever.
* NothingCanStopUsNow: "Nothing can stop me now" said by Kale in the frsit episode. Followed by ThisCannotBe in the finale of the first season as the "new Queen" Kale thinks she has won and attempts to seize control of the Crown Jewels, but her [[CriticalFailure critical failure]] makes her [[IncredibleShrinkingMan shrink to a miniature size]] and then dematerializing her body into the Wild Magic.
* OminousOperaCape: Kale's, often complete with the CapeSwish effect on purpose.
* OurGeniesAreDifferent: The very cartoonish genie Guardian is a keper of the Hall of Wizards who plays a major role in "Wizard's Peak" and "Morgana".
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Kale's stopping herself from taking a Crown Jewel the final scenes of "Dreamfields", prompting Gwen to tell her evil aunt [[RousseauWasRight there's good inside of her]] after all.
* {{Outlaw}}: The Outlaws are a band of brigands featured in the episodes "Badlands" and "Prince of the Forest". Kale is an outlaw too, after she was banished from Camelot for trying to forcefully usurp the throne.
* PaperThinDisguise: Such perfect disguises as wearing a dress and using a false name were successfully used by Kale repeatedly, mostly to get inside the New Camelot and then into the royal Crystal Palace.
* PimpedOutDress: The girls have several, for special events.
* PowerFloats: Applies to Morgana and also to Kale when she managed to take over most of magic in the episode 12 and became [[SuperMode really powerful]].
* PowerGlows: Or at least the magic does.
* RedheadInGreen: Tamara, although she's more of a [[RoseHairedGirl pink-haired girl]] in pastel green shades.
* ShoutOut: "Trouble in Elf Town" is a shout out to the [[TheWestern classic western]].
* SomeoneElsesProblem: After he becomes human, the mer-boy decides that a sea monster is Tamara's problem. The other Jewel Riders eventually call him out on it.
* StayingAlive: Kale manages to survive being magically dematerialized and vanishing into Wild Magic - where she is then also magically restored, accidental courtesy of Morgana in her attempt to retrieve the Dark Stone.
* TalkingAnimal: Vocally only Archie, Merlin's [[TheOwlKnowingOne nerdy owl]] that is accompanying the heroines. Every [[BondCreatures animal bonded]] to an Enchanted Jewel is also able to communicate telephatically with its Jewel's user. In addition Tamara can use her Heart Stone to talk with all animals (except Shadowsong at first) and they can also speak with each other. The occasional [[FunnyAnimal humanoid animal]] creatures also talk normally.
* PrincessesPreferPink: Or at least Gwen/Starla does, but Kale's red outfits are largely pink-ish too.
* ShapeShifting: Lots! Besides Ian, there is also a shapeshifting genie guardian of the Wizard's Peak, the Jewel Raiders turn into {{mermaid}}s in one episode, Kale magically changes into an older woman for a disguise, and (in the same episode) one of the ancient Wizards is permanently {{curse}}d into the form of a cat.
* ShoutOut: One of the episodes starts off with a guest star who laments that nothing exciting happens in her town. It is an almost line-by-line recreation of the opening scene from Tom [=DeHaven's=] [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers "Galaxy Stranger"]], using the same voice actress.
* StylishProtectionGear: Travelling in snowy mountains, the girls wear outfits trimmed with [[PrettyInMink white fur]].
* SwordFight: Happens only once and even then the swords are created by holding magical jewels, LaserBlade style but somehow solid. In "Fashion Fever", Drake and Tamara attack Kale, who [[VillainousValour outfences them both]], and eventually drops FallingChandelierOfDoom on Drake, only for [[DistressedDude him to be saved]] by a rope-swing Gwen.
* TakenForGranite: Getting petrified happens to Fallon and Tamara and their animals (temporarily) and then to Kale and her crew (pernamently?) at the end of the second season. All of the living things in New Camelot are cursed into suspended animation in the finale of the first season, and Archie turns into a crystal for a while in one episode.
* TeleportersAndTransporters: Here in the form of Travel Trees that are creating entry points into the Wild Magic tunnels.
* TheBaroness: Lady Kale, whose [[ScaryImpracticalArmor dragon-themed armor]] even looks a lot like this of Baroness.
* TheFairFolk: The fearies and their own MagicalLand are the titular subject of the episode "The Faery Princess".
* TheHighQueen: Anya is a very personification of this trope. Kale would be [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen not so much]].
* TheJimmyHartVersion: At one point, "Trouble in Elf Town" features music resembling Tchaikovsky's Waltz of the Flowers from his [[Theatre/TheNutcracker Nutcracker Suite]].
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Then again, it's hard ''not'' to name a 1990s program for girls that didn't have this. But there's even a "Friendship Circle" ceremony performed twice in the first season alone.
* ThePowerOfLove: Concerns the second-season relationship of Ian and Gwen.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Rufus and Twig, Kale's dweasels.
* TokenBlack: Fallon. Officially, she's a {{Gypsy}}.
* TransformationTrinket: The Jewel Riders' Enchanted Jewels and Kale's Dark Stone, for their respective [[InstantArmor Jewel Armors]] (Kale's wearing hers most of the time, though), and Ian's jewel too.
* TransformationSequence: With the [[TransformationIsAFreeAction usual attributes]] of this.
* TreasureRoom: In the Crystal Palace there's the Jewel Keep room where all the recovered magical Crown Jewels are being safely kept (or at least supposedly, as Kale manages to get there quite easily). Another such room, the Hall of Wizards, is hidden in a cave labyrinth inside the mountain of the Wizard's Peak mountain and is visited by the both sides repeatedly.
* [[TwoTimerDate Three Timer Date]]: By Drake, the leader of The Pack who usually hits on Gwen only. To be fair to the guy, it was mostly the fault of a wicked [[TalkingWeapon talking sword]].
* UnderTheSea: Episode 21, "Jewel of the Sea".
* UselessBoyfriend: The wielders of the Forest Stones, despite having badass wolf mounts, battle armor, and training, are usually of much use other than as the local chew toys (but occasionally this [[TheCavalry wolf cavalry]] actually comes to the rescue, including in the final episode).
* VillainOpeningScene: The show opens with the scene of Kale finding the Dark Stone, empowering herself against Merlin and [[CainAndAbel her sister Anya]] and [[TheVillainMakesThePlot starting the trouble]] in the [[TheKingdom otherwise peaceful kingdom]].
* WarriorPrince: Or actually a princess. Applies to Gwenevere as well as her mother Anya once too, as the future queens are given the Sun Stone to lead the current Jewel Riders for generations.
* WeWillMeetAgain: As spoken repeatedly by Kale in a variety of ways whenever she [[VillainExitStageLeft flies off after losing a jewel]] through the most of first season.
* [[WellDoneSonGuy Well Done Daughter Guy and Girl]]: Fallon's parents in "Badlands".
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Averted as Tamara's Heart Stone was just as useful as anyone else's jewel.
* WildMagic: The source of all magic, kept in check by Merlin. With him being banished, Wild Magic is beginning to get out of hand in Avalon, causing destructive outbreaks.
* WizardDuel: Happens through the series (or at least this kind of a "duel" where the bad side is usually outnumbered).
* WizardsLiveLonger: Althrough it is never properly explained, apparently both Merlin and Morgana (and the rest of the ancient Wizards) are around for at least one thousand years.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Tamara has pink hair and Fallon has purple.
