* GoodColorsEvilColors: The evil magic is red. This applies to their costumes too ([[TrueBlueFemininity blue]]-and-white vs [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red-and-black]]-and-{{purple|IsPowerful}}).

* GoodHairEvilHair: Good Queen Anya is a blonde while her evil sister is a brunette.

** Shadowsong too, in virtue of being pink [[RealMenWearPink like the real stallions]].

* BigBad: Kale is the only reoccurring antagonist in the first season and the Jewel Rider's enemy. The second season introduces the enchantress Morgana, who was the creator and original user of Kale's Dark Stone.

* GoodEyesEvilEyes: (Anya's blue and Kale's purple and sometimes also extremely slant).

* TheHighQueen: Anya is benevolent and beloved queen. Kale would be [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen not so much]].

''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'' 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 Tamara and [[TokenBlack Fallon]], as they quest to retrieve the [[MacGuffin Crown Jewels]] that keep the {{magic}} of 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 Heart Stone. Each girl also has an [[NonHumanSidekick animal friend]] who can communicate with her, {{bond|Creatures}}ed with their respective Enchanted Jewel.

[[TheHeavy However, trouble strikes]] when the evil Lady Kale finds the [[TheDarkSide Dark Stone]] and uses it to banish Merlin to the realm of WildMagic so she can steal the magical Crown Jewels to [[CainAndAbel bring down her sister]] Anya and [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen become the new queen]] of Avalon, taking over all the magic for herself to rule. However, Merlin scatters the jewels at the [[JustInTime last minute]], sending the Jewel Riders on a quest to [[GottaCatchEmAll get them all]] before Kale does.

However, Merlin scatters the jewels at the [[JustInTime last minute]], sending the Jewel Riders on a quest to [[GottaCatchEmAll get them all]] before Kale does.

By the end of the first season, the Jewel Riders win but 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 in order to defeat their enemies and attempt once again to save Merlin.

%%** In the first season, Gwenevere herself is voiced by Kerry Butler, a singer and Tony-nominated Broadway actress who has starred in ''Theatre/LesMiserables'', ''Theatre/{{Hairspray}}'', ''Theatre/BeautyAndTheBeast'', and ''Film/{{Xanadu}}'', among others.

* ConspicuousCG: 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 you to think it's this when Tamara thinks Shadowsong is dead, she starts blaming herself and her Heart Stone. This lasts for a only less than a minute before Shadowsong awakens and Tamara can now understand him.

* DisneyDeath: Implied with Shadowsong; the result is still the same either way, fortunately.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Kale has a soft spot for including Grimm the dragon, even liking his [[EvilSmellsBad evil bad smell]].

* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry: Literally - even the cliffs of a desert canyon in "Badlands".
* EvilFeelsGood: Lady Kale quite often, with a small dose of [[BeingEvilSucks the opposite]] too.
* 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).
* EvilPlan: Morgana's ancient pre-recorded message for the other evil Wizards in the episode 12, "Revenge of the Dark Stone".

* OutOfCharacterMoment: Lady 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.

* RedheadInGreen: Tamara, although she's more of a pink-haired girl in pastel green shades.

* [[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]].

* 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.

* [[WellDoneSonGuy "Well Done, Daughter!" Guy and Girl]]: Fallon's parents in "Badlands".

* 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.

** GoodColorsEvilColors apply to their costumes too ([[TrueBlueFemininity blue]]-and-white vs [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red-and-black]]-and-[[PurpleIsPowerful purple]]).

* NothingCanStopUsNow: "Nothing can stop me now" said by Kale in the first 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.

Our story follows [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses Princess]] Gwenevere (or Starla), the teenage daughter of Queen Anya of Avalon, and her friends 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]].

* TokenBlack: Fallon. Officially, she's a {{Gypsy}}.

** 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").

* 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".

* 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.

* LighterAndSofter: Robert Mandell has a background in horror and even directed an episode of ''Series/TheXFiles''. His two animated series, ''Thunderbirds 2086'' and ''Galaxy Rangers'', were sci-fi, action-adventure, and often shockingly violent. ''Jewel Riders'' has its dark moments, but it was ''much'' more lighthearted in tone.

* NothingCanStopUsNow: "Nothing can stop me now" said by Kale in the frsit episode.

* FollowTheLeader: So much that many called this show a ''Anime/SailorMoon'' [[CompletelyMissingThePoint "ripoff"]].

* EvilFeelsGood: Lady Kale quite often, with a small dose of [[BeingEvilSucks the opposite]] too.

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 ''Anime/SailorMoon'' 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 ''Literature/AvalonWebOfMagic'' series.

By the end of the first season, the Jewel Riders win 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.

* 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".

* HeyItsThatVoice: ''Galaxy Rangers'' fans will definitely recognize Laura Dean, Henry Mandell (the creator's brother) and [[Anime/SpeedRacer Corrine Orr]].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}}'', ''Theatre/BeautyAndTheBeast'', and ''Film/{{Xanadu}}'', among others.

* 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}}.

* FollowTheLeader: So much that many called this show a ''SailorMoon'' [[CompletelyMissingThePoint "ripoff"]].

* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Averted as Tamara's Heart Stone was just as useful as anyone else's jewel.
