Characters / Strange Magic
Marianne is the protagonist and is the heir to the throne of the Fairy Kingdom.
- Action Girl: After her Cynicism Catalyst, she becomes a sword-wielding Screaming Warrior. She is brave enough to take on the Bog King in the Dark Forest all alone, and she proves to be his match.
- Affectionate Nickname: "Tough Girl" from the Bog King. At first, he uses it as a sarcastic insult, but after falling in love with her, he uses it more endearingly.
- Battle Couple: With the Bog King - both of them hold their own in the first fight scene they share, but it's when they team up to defeat Marianne's ex-fiancé that they truly show that together they're a force to be reckoned with. The Bog King is naturally terrifying given what kind of creature he is, but Marianne shows that she can be just as ferocious and threatening. And they end up becoming the Official Couple.
- Beast and Beauty: The fairy beauty to the Bog King's Beast, although apparently Marianne isn't much of a catch by goblin standards.
- Big Sister Instinct: It's implied that she spends the time-skip constantly hovering over her little sister to make sure her numerous suitors walked the straight and narrow. She also threatened the Bog King with death after he kidnapped Dawn.
- Birds of a Feather: The main attraction between her and the Bog King is their similarity. Both enjoy having a Worthy Opponent, they have been burned by a previous romance and since have seen love as nothing but a ridiculous feeling.
- Brainy Brunette: She is of the most sensible characters of the movie and has brown hair, contrasting her rather ditzy blond sister.
- Break the Cutie: Roland cheating on her really hurt her. Cue her singing how much she's over him.
- Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: Zig-Zagged with the Bog King. They both comfort each other about how their own bad experience with love had deeply hurt them.
- Cannot Spit It Out: Despite obviously being in love with the Bog King, all she can say is that she'll never see the Dark Forest the same again. It takes a crowd song to convince her to confess.
- Cynicism Catalyst: Roland cheating on her caused Marianne to give up on love.
- Dark Is Not Evil: After catching Roland cheating on her, Marianne started wearing darker clothing than the other fairies. She is a snarky, cynical, and fairly aggressive Action Girl who selflessly fights for her family and homeland.
- Deadpan Snarker: She has a lot of dry wit, such as mocking Dawn's serial flirting by reciting the Long List of suitors in alternating sugary and tough tones.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: Marianne relearns to love over the course of the film. It's the same with the Bog King. The two defrost each other simultaneously .
- Face Your Fears: Marianne develops a fear of the Dark Forest after being attacked by goblins there, so much so that she receives traumatic flashbacks when she goes near it. After her sister is kidnapped, she's forced to enter it to save her. She falls in love with the Bog King and he shows her the beauty of the Dark Forest which helps her get over her fears.
- Heroes Prefer Swords: She rushes into the Dark Forest to save her sister from an Evil Overlord with her courage and sword.
- Interspecies Romance: She is a fairy who falls in love with the Bog King, a goblin.
- I Work Alone: She leaves for the Dark Forest to attack the Bog King alone, against her father's wishes.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She is snarky, hot-tempered, and abrasive. She's also brave, protective, selfless, and can be very gentle with her loved ones.
- Loving a Shadow: Marianne admits that she was so distracted by Roland's good looks that she didn't bother to get to know his real personality.
- Meaningful Name:
- Besides being the name that one of the pop songs uses, it also means "bitter" in Latin and "rebellious" in Russian.
- It's also the name of a type of anemone, which in Flower Language symbolizes loss of hope and feelings of abandonment, but can also mean anticipation of something good. That right there is Marianne's story in a nutshell.
- Let's see: Fell in love with a handsome jerk and is heartbroken to find out. However, she falls in love with someone similar to her but just didn't realize it 'til later on. Does this remind you of anyone?
The Bog King is the son of Griselda, the king of the Dark Forest and the secondary antagonist-turned-anti-hero.
- Amazon Chaser: He's quite surprised when Marianne punches him. The King also compliments her sword skills.
- Animal Motifs: Despite being a goblin, he looks like a mosquito.
- Anti-Hero: He transitions into this when attempting to cure the love potion and fighting Roland, who has become the greater threat. He can be mean, and grouchy but he's definitely not evil.
- Anti-Villain: He appears to be a love-hating bad guy, but gradually shows that he's got a softer and more compassionate side. His bitterness and anger mostly come from his earlier heartbreak.
- Battle Couple: With Marianne - both of them hold their own in the first fight scene they share, but it's when they team up to defeat Marianne's ex-fiancé that they truly show that together they're a force to be reckoned with. The Bog King is naturally terrifying given what kind of creature he is, but Marianne shows that she can be just as ferocious and threatening.
- Beast and Beauty: The Beast to Marianne's fairy Beauty. It's played with as the movie shows that his standard of beauty leans towards his race - according to his culture, Marianne is the one who would be seen as beastly.
- Benevolent Boss: While he mows down the mushrooms when the information they pass onto him was corrupted and generally terrifies his underlings, he seems to get along fairly well with the goblins under his rule. He seems to know each of them by name, he lets his guards off-duty when it was clear that they are too tired to do their jobs, he fights his own battles and he takes part in Dawn's kidnapping with them. In-turn the goblins all seem to be very loyal to him, as no one seems to object to his ban on love, they share his disgust with Dawn, even trying to help encourage him when it is clear he is in love with Marianne.
- Birds of a Feather: The main attraction between him and Marianne is their similarity. Both enjoy having a Worthy Opponent, they have been burned by a previous romance and have since had very dismissive feelings towards love.
- Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: Zig-Zagged with Marianne. They both comfort each other about how their own bad experience with love had deeply hurt them.
- Cannot Spit It Out: Despite being obviously in love with Marianne, he tells her that she's always welcome to the Dark Forest. His mother has to repeatedly prod him into actually confessing.

- Character Tics: Roland likes to twist one his curls between his fingers in order to show off how good looking he is.
- Abhorrent Admirer: Because of the love potion, Dawn keeps throwing herself at the Bog King. He's annoyed with her singing Silly Love Songs to him and is well aware that her feelings are not real.
- Cute, but Cacophonic: When under the effects of the love potion, to the point where the goblins will do anything to make her stop singing. She sings better once no longer under its spell.
- The Cutie: All of Dawn's traits, from her looks to her personality, are pure and adorable. Even the Bog King, a self-proclaimed Evil Overlord, couldn't bring himself to be mean to the little princess when faced with her sweetness.
- Dumb Blonde: She comes off as silly and ditzy; all the more so when compared to her brown-haired sister.

- Nice Girl: There's not a mean bone in this sweetheart's body.

- Princess Classic: She's got all the traits: sweet, feminine, and innocent.

- Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: The Huge Girl to Sunny's Tiny Guy. Sunny is half Dawn's height, making her tower over him.
- Uptown Girl: She (a princess) becomes an Official Couple with Sunny (a presumably poor elf).
- Action Survivor: He's a normal elf who breaks into the Bog King's castle twice. Thanks to some outside help and The Power of Love, he makes it both times.
- Dogged Nice Guy: He's an unorthodox version of this trope because, as much as he wants to start a relationship with Dawn, he's also been hard at work helping her with her various crushes over a presumably long time (because there have been a lot of them).

- Victorious Childhood Friend: In the end when Dawn's love for him breaks the potion's spell .
- I Was Quite the Looker: So she claims when her life supposedly flashes before her eyes. We never see so for ourselves.
- Jewish Mother: Distinctly comes off like this, what with the voice, the nagging, the attempts to get her son to get married, and the passive-aggressive nature of her complaints.
- I Want Grandkids: Constantly trying to play matchmaker to the Bog King.
- Morality Pet: The first clue that the Bog King is not as evil as he appears? His mother loves him, and he treats her kindly in return, even when she annoys him.
- Open-Minded Parent: Because she wants her son to have a lover, she�s willing to introduce him to three potential partners, all whom are different creatures. Later on, she wholeheartedly approves of her son having a fairy girlfriend.
- Shipper on Deck: Bog/anyone to the point where she isn�t picky about the species of her son�s lover. She�s initially all for Bog/Dawn when Dawn, hopped up on love potion, declares her love for Bog and sings �I Can�t Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)�, but she quickly ships Bog/Marianne as soon as she sees them in a Duel to the Death and getting flirty about it.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Averted. She doesn't look a thing like her son. She does mention in passing that he has "his father's smile" though, suggesting that he takes after his father in appearance.
- Token Good Teammate: Played with. She's the only member of Bog King's court who isn't portrayed in a villainous light at the start, but it soon turns out that none of the Bog King's people (Bog King himself included) are actually "evil" per se.
- Cloudcuckoolander: When first introduced, Sunny asks him his name. The Imp just shrugs, laughs and then runs off.

- The Imp: Well, yeah, this is his name but he also fits the trope with his mischievous behavior although he is no one's sidekick.
- It Amused Me: There doesn't seem to be much of a purpose behind his tricks.
- Shipper on Deck: Likes to pair couples together, albeit with a preference for Interspecies Romance.
- Spanner in the Works: Steals the love potion from Sunny right as the Bog King shows up.
- Adipose Rex: The Fairy King who is so overweight that he can't fly for anything but short bursts and requires a litter to fly him around.
- All There in the Script: The Fairy King is not named in the movie but according to the animators his name is Dagda.
- Creator Cameo: Appears strikingly similar to George Lucas, who wrote the original story and produced the film.
- Hypocrite: He tells his daughter not to value looks, but is completely shocked and disgusted over his daughters falling for a goblin and and an elf. It may just take some getting used to.
- Large and in Charge: Has a hefty build and is the king.
- Papa Wolf: While he didn't get to fully show it, the King was willing to save his youngest daughter.
- Parents as People: Cares for his daughters a great deal, but sometimes isn't good at listening to their wishes.
- Shipper on Deck: For Roland/Marianne, though he doesn't seem to be aware that Roland cheated on his daughter. He's no longer on deck when he sees Roland pour love potion on her.

- Fog Feet: She has a genie-tail instead of legs.

- Motor Mouth: She has a rapid-fire delivery.
- Spell My Name with a "The": The Sugar Plum Fairy.
- Token Minority: Seems very Indian in design for some reason.
- True Blue Femininity: Her color scheme is purely blue.
- You Didn't Ask: When she reveals the reason why the love potion didn�t work on the recipient of Bog�s affections, she says essentially this with him just assuming he�s too hideous to love.
- Giant Mook: The aptly named Brutus is the largest of the Bog King's minions, towering over his fellow goblins. He's big enough to use the smallest goblins as earplugs!
- Laser-Guided Karma: The unnamed girl who Roland cheats on Marianne with is subjected to this. Since Marianne is the princess of their kingdom and is getting publicly married to Roland, the girl is a knowing home-wrecker. The film punishes her by having her be love potioned into loving a frog. Though considering what a jerk Roland is, this is probably an improvement.
- Pantsless Males, Fully-Dressed Females: The goblins. Only Griselda and one of the potential girlfriends are wearing any sort of clothing. Averted with Stuff.
- Satellite Love Interest: The unnamed fairy Roland cheated on Marianne with is. the unnamed fairy Roland cheated on Marianne with, and that's all there is to know about her.
- Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: Averted with Stuff. She lacks traditional feminine features such as long eyelashes or any distinct curves and is almost always naked. She also has a deep voice, which only adds to Thang�s (and presumably the audience�s) belief that she was male.
- Unsettling Gender-Reveal: Played for Laughs near the end. Thang learns that Stuff is actually a female troll, and he is quite shocked.
It is currently unknown if Griselda was ever Queen or even if she held any high authority in the Dark Forest before Bog, but she does seem to hold some level of authority to the castle's staff.
