- Expy: The trio is awfully similar to the main trio from Charmed (1998). bonus points for both girl trios finding the magic book in an attic.

- Addictive Magic: She quickly becomes addicted to the use of magic in Season 2. Her friends even stage an intervention for her.
- Big Sister Instinct: Despite their constant arguments and differences, Kelly truly does love her younger brother Buddy, and will defend him from harm without hesitation.
- Character Development: She spends the first two seasons as a self-centered protector who's not only addicted to cookbook magic and perfectly willing to do whatever it takes to solve the mystery, not caring about who he hurts, she was also overly independent, and often viewed herself as superior to others, turning down their sides of the story. These points were even lampshaded when Kelly goes full baddie in Season 3. However, she does get over it and learns how to properly work with others, and even gives up her magic addiction after some time.
- Control Freak: Kelly can be pretty controlling with the magic.
- Fallen Heroine: She turns into an insecure, evil mastermind bent on keeping the cookbook forever, thanks to being the victim of the downside used to restore the magic spice garden and save magic from the last season's antagonist.

- The Ace: She's shown to be very smart when it comes to schoolwork. In fact, she once stated the lowest grade she got was a B, and that was in a dream.
- Brainy Brunette: Has brown hair and is the studious, organization-driven one of the trio.
- Character Development: She starts off as an academic Control Freak, who was determined to get straight As in each of her classes, is always stressed out over the littlest things, and would constantly overwork and didn't always get along with her teachers. But later on, she stops being so overly paranoid with her surroundings and begins to mellow out and adjust to any changes that may occur
- Control Freak: Hannah takes her schoolwork very seriously. A little too seriously.

Darbie O'Brien
Played By: Abby Donnelly; Lenore Brown (young)
- A Birthday, Not a Break: In Just Add Birthdays. Not only does Darbie have to keep a half-their-aged Kelly and Hannah out of trouble, but she also had to break into Mama P's pantry to get the ingredients for the cure. Doing it at night also helps.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: She's a pretty nice girl, but she's quick to turn to the magic cookbook every time something goes wrong, for all she knows, the side-effect could make the problem worse. Hannah calls Darbie on this in one episode. Plus, she hates math and tried to put her math teacher under an itch spell, which Hannah quickly rejects. In one episode she said that if they taught magic in school she wouldn't sleep in class. Except. yes she would.
- Character Development: She used to be The Load of the trio, who didn't serve much of a role aside from being the comic relief. Not to mention she was an absolute pushover and could never stand up for herself. This changes dramatically in the later seasons where she not only displays Hidden Depths and starts to actually contribute and support the gang in helpful ways, she also Grew a Spine and becomes a true independent hero in her own unique way.
- Does Not Like Spam: One episode stated that Darbie doesn't like Jell-O.
- As a matter a fact, there's quite a bit of food Darbie doesn't like, and only eats because of the magic that comes with it.
When Hannah was 12 years old, she, along with Kelly and Darbie, came across a mysterious cookbook in Kelly's attic. The trio decided to cook a few recipes from this book and noticed that these recipes were magical. The girls later learned that they are the protectors of the cookbook.

Reviews for "Interactive Learning: Vtech Myla the Magical Unicorn's Alphabet and Numbers Games"
1. Jane - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with the Vtech Myla the Magical Unicorn toy. It looked so cute and magical in the advertisements, but when I got it for my daughter, it didn't live up to the hype. The buttons were not very responsive, and the unicorn's voice was quite annoying. It also didn't offer much in terms of interactive play, which was a letdown. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this toy, especially considering the price.
2. Mark - 1/5 stars - This toy was a complete waste of money. My daughter was excited to have her very own magical unicorn, but this one just didn't cut it. The sound quality is terrible, and the songs it plays are so repetitive and annoying. The unicorn's movements are also not very smooth, and it often gets stuck on its own wheels. The only positive thing I can say is that it is soft and cuddly, but that alone is not enough to justify the price. Don't waste your money on this disappointing toy.
3. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I bought the Vtech Myla the Magical Unicorn for my niece, thinking it would be a hit, but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. The unicorn's voice was grating, and my niece quickly lost interest in it. The interactive features were not engaging enough to hold her attention for long. The toy also didn't seem very durable, as a few small pieces broke off within the first week. I wouldn't recommend this toy for children who are looking for true magical and interactive play.
