Tropes

 * Abusive Parents: Maria's parents were this to her.

Trivia

 * Creator's Favorite: in an interview, Stella revealed she loved the character of Charlotte.
 * Creator's Pest: in another interview, Stella revealed she despised creating Griffinface.
 * Dawson Casting: given the fact all teenage characters in the series are voiced by adult voice actors, this was inevitable.
 * As a comparisation, by the time the first game was launched, Cathy Cavadini (Charlotte) and Elizabeth Daily (Darklia) were both 45 years old.
 * Playing Against Type:
 * Cathy Cavadini went from the intelligent and TBD Blossom on The Powerpuff Girls to the TBD Charlotte in this series, leading to some people joking about it.
 * Andrea Baker, better known for voicing the girlish, boy-obsessed and somehow ditzy Clover in Totally Spies!, voices the tomboyish and feisty Maria in this series.
 * Relationship Voice Actor:
 * Cathy Cavadini and Elizabeth Daily went from sisters (Blossom and Buttercup on The Powerpuff Girls) to arch-enemies and then close friends (Charlotte and Lily/Darklia).
 * Andrea Baker (Maria) and Jennifer Hale (Kaity) previously worked together on Totally Spies! as Clover and Sam (and Mandy), respectively.
 * In the Maria game, Katie Leigh (Alex on the first two seasons of the aforementioned show) has a supporting voice role as Francine.
 * Clancy Brown (Tattoous) and Mark Hamill (Necromus) were once Superman and Batman's arch-enemies Lex Luthor and the Joker, respectively. Now, the first is a mentor to the protagonist and the second... well, an evil wizard.
 * Rule 34 - Creator Reactions:
 * Stella McDonnell is aware of the adult fanfiction and fanart involving her characters and once actually held a contest for fanfiction to be an alternate world or something like that.
 * She even drew some adult art of Charlotte/Maria and Lily/William, her two personal ships, and even of Collin/TBD from Collin the Speedy Boy, Kitrina/Tristan from The Dinosaur Princess and TBD from Howler.
 * She justified that on an interview by answering "I'm a person like anyone else and even the nicest person has some perverted thoughts. I'm no exception".
 * On the other side, Warner Bros. wasn't happy about this and threatened legal action by trying to take down some of those adult fanworks for copyright infringement.
 * What Could Have Been: Stella toyed with several concepts including making Maria a twist villain, involve no technology at all, Darklia staying evil, TBD. If Maria was to be evil, Charlotte most likely would end up with William instead.

YMMV

 * Crack Pairing: TBD
 * Ron the Death Eater: several fanfictions use this trope.

Nightmare Fuel

Ho Yay
