• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Yes, she can be arrogant and self-absorbed, but is also loyal and always there for her friends.

• Bookworm: Is always seen with piles of books and holo-books.
• Brainy Brunette: Zigzagged. Her hair's normally blue unless she's on Earth, when it's becomes dark brown. Either way, she's intelligent and resourceful.
• Compelling Voice: While most Starlings can use this skill to get around Earth, Vega's power is outright Mind Control via her thoughts, not words.
• Disney Death: In the cartoon, Rancora nearly kills her by draining her positive energy to the extent that Adora can't heal her, but Vega's Power Crystal revives her.
• Fatal Flaw: Her pride. Vega has so much confidence in her intelligence and methods that it doesn't cross her mind that her first assessment of the facts could be wrong until it falls short.
• Go-Getter Girl: With the best grades and most hard-working attitude out of every girl in school, Vega certainly wants to achieve big things.
• Icy Blue Eyes: Has bright blue eyes and is described as coolheaded and logical.
• Obsessed Are The List Makers: Vega checks her lists thrice to be sure they're correct.

• Workaholic: Vega isn't happy unless she's working, and enjoys solving puzzles and doing a good job.

Scarlet

Voiced by: Sarah-Nicole Robles

A mysterious loner who is fascinated with all things Wishworld. Scarlet's parents are classical musicians, and without much to keep her occupied Scarlet took to doing things at her own pace. She's the drummer of the Star Darlings band.

• Deadpan Snarker: Roughly everything that comes out of her mouth is snark.
• Does Not Like Spam: Hates garble greens, a Starland vegetable similar to spinach.
• Emo Teen: Has this attitude in general.
• Gravity Master: Her special power is to affect the gravitational pull of objects and make them heavier or lighter, which also lets her pick locks.
• Hidden Heart of Gold: She's generally cold and aloof, but deep down, she's just as caring and selfless as her peers.
• Ineffectual Loner: Which makes the rest of the girls nervous around her. It is deconstructed into her weakness; Scarlet may treasure her alone time, but when she needs help or just somebody to talk to, she has and will continue to push everyone away.
• In the Hood: Scarlet's signature outfit includes a hoodie. When she wears it up, it's usually a sign that she wants to be left alone.
• Intrigued by Humanity: So much that her dream is to live on Wishworld (aka Earth).
• Loners Are Freaks: Scarlet has to constantly put up with this outlook from her peers, including the Star Darlings. Vega even named her a suspect in her investigation into the energy crisis in the animated shorts.
• Nightmare Fetishist: For what counts as nightmares on Starland, anyway. Scarlet likes bitbats, animals that Starlings normally find frightening. She even bonds with some in the Star Caves.
• Plot Allergy: She's allergic to glowfurs, as they cause her skin to itch.
• Red and Black and Evil All Over: She's not actually evil, but she is an odd loner who does nothing to counter the other girl's negative opinions of her.
• Survival Mantra: Her Mirror Mantra is "It's time for some star power."
• You Don't Look Like You: Scarlet's doll has long dark purple hair tied in a ponytail instead of short fuchsia hair with dark stripes.

A daydreaming, artistic writer with supernatural abilities. Piper tends to get visions and dreams of the future, which are rarely wrong. She has an innate ability to read others' moods.

• Big Eater: Since good food is one of Tessa's great loves, she indulges in many snacks between meals every day.

Adora

Voiced by: Lib Barer

An out-of-the-box thinker who enjoys science and wants to be a famous fashion designer. Even more than Vega, Adora is aloof and logical to a fault at times, and she has trouble dealing with others' emotions.

• Cloudcuckoolander: She can sometimes have her head in the clouds.
• Enraged by Idiocy: Downplayed; Adora has little patience for people who, unlike her, let their emotions guide them instead of cold logic, but she rarely lets her irritation show. After all, behaving otherwise would be hypocritical.
• The Fashionista: She uses her love of science to help her in this regard.
• Healing Hands: Her special power is to heal others. In the TV special this extends to Starlings as well.

Clover

Voiced by: Julie Nathanson

• Never Bare Headed: She's never seen without her classy fedora, which happens to be a family heirloom.

• Constantly Curious: The main reason she struggles with keeping her focus on one thing. Gemma tries to keep this trait in check, seeing it as a sign of immaturity, but she just can't help herself.
• Country Mouse: Same deal as Tessa, but Gemma is more interested in the idea of making friends than the culture.
• The Ditherer: Her wandering mind turns decision making into quite the challenge for Gemma.

The Headmistress of Starling Academy and the one who brought the Star Darlings together.

• Broken Pedestal: The girls begin to think that she's an Evil Mentor in the later books after hearing that she told Ophelia to spy on them and pose as an orphan. It's ultimately averted with the reveal that it was actually Lady Rancora all along.
• Child Prodigy: As a teen her wish-granting potential was exponential, and she helped discover and grant Inspirational Wish Orbs.
• The Chosen One: Lady Stella was prophesied to save Starland as a teen.
• Deadpan Snarker: In the first webisode, she remarks that the Star Darlings have bigger things to worry about than their high school reputations when they begin to fret that they can't tell any of their classmates about their special lessons.
• Evil Mentor: In later books the girls begin to worry she's this, as she apparently told Ophelia to infiltrate the group and pose as an orphan, among other crises. It turns out to be Rancora posing as her.

Lady Cordial

Voiced by: April Stewart

The head of admissions at Starling Academy, she wasn't interested in making friends with the staff. Cordial acts as Lady Stella's second-in-command, and assists the girls on their Wish Missions. In the books, she tends to stutter on words beginning with "s." She's Rancora in disguise.

• Body Horror: In the web series, Lady Cordial's skin cracks off as the Star Darlings wear her down. Then Rancora bursts out of Lady Cordial's body and discards her empty shell.
• Let's Get Dangerous!: She steps up to the plate as much as she can in later books, telling the girls exactly what's going on as far as she's aware and firmly telling them that the energy crisis will not come to pass. Ends up being subverted, as she was causing the crisis.
• Number Two: She's the only one besides the Star Darlings and Lady Stella who knows the scope of the energy crisis and the truth of their missions.
• Shout-Out: Her tendency to stutter brings Professor Quirrel to mind, as does her reveal as a front for the villain.

• Alpha Bitch: Vivica wants to be the most popular girl in school, and antagonizes the Star Darlings out of jealousy.
• Butt-Monkey: In the web series, she's generally on the receiving end of comic mistreatment. Not that she didn't deserve it, of course.
• The Chosen One: According to the prophecy, a Dark Starling will rise and decide the fate of Starland. Rancora believes it's her, and so tries to keep her under control. The canceled book One Star Too Far would have revealed Sage was turning into a Dark Starling thanks to abandoning Viviva on Earth, and Vivica forgiving her would free her from corruption.

• The Dragon: Later books have her working under Rancora to cause trouble.

• I Just Want to Be Special: Stealing Starlight reveals she wanted to be seen and admired like the Star Darlings, and turned to Rancora so she could get the attention she desired without any competition.
• Ignored Epiphany: She eventually remembers how happy she was at the start of the school year, before deciding nothing's changed and she still needs to bring the Star Darlings down.
• Opposing Sports Team: In the books she also has her own band, Vivica and the Visionaries, and serves as a rival to the Star Darlings band.

• Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!: Would barely begin to describe her.

Ophelia

A first-year Star Darling who's not part of the main cast, she was brought in to replace Scarlet. She has orange-yellow hair tied in pigtails. Ophelia is nice, but lacking in wish potential and knowledge of Wishworld. It's revealed that her and Scarlet's results were mixed, meaning she isn't a Star Darling after all—which Ophelia is very relieved to hear. However, her role continues beyond that...
