Meet the characters from Stargirl

Courtney Whitmore

Okay, Courtney is pure sparkle energy — the kind of person who bursts into a scene with ridiculous optimism and a cosmic staff like it’s an accessory (which yes, she totally treats like an accessory). She’s brave, a little reckless, and absolutely convinced every impossible plan will work if you just believe hard enough, which is inspiring and slightly terrifying. She cares so fiercely that sometimes she forgets to be quiet about it, and also will make you mixtapes for no reason — do not ask about her sticker collection, it’s extensive. Somewhere between cheerleader confetti and superhero grit, she’s the weird glorious heart of the team, always late for curfew but first to show up when it matters.

Yolanda Montez

Yolanda is the textbook “quietly intense” friend, disciplined and sharp as a knife but with this undercurrent of heartbreak that fuels everything she does. She trains like a machine and has a look that says “don’t mess with me” while secretly writing sappy poetry in the margins of her notebooks (yes really). Her sense of duty is enormous — sometimes to her own detriment — and she can switch from calm strategist to white-hot fighter in a second. She’s the kind of person who remembers everyone’s trigger foods but forgets where she put her keys five minutes earlier; go figure.

Mike Dugan

Mike is pure sidekick-meets-sarcastic-unaligned-wit and honestly? He’s the glue that keeps the chaos from tipping over most days. He’s into gadgets, weird radio shows, and has a million conspiracy-tinged one-liners but is also absurdly loyal and surprisingly brave (and small but mighty, okay). He’ll roast you and then bring you a sandwich, and he’s the guy who remembers the dumb little birthdays that matter — even if he sometimes can’t remember what day it is. He’s messy, loud, and somehow both proud and mortified of his family at the exact same time.

Beth Chapel

Beth is brilliant in this quietly earnest way, like she’s cataloging the world in her head and then turns it into inventions and goggles and oddly comforting wisecracks. She’s the brainy Dr. Mid-Nite type — science-forward, empathetic, and kind of awkward in the best way (awkward soft smiles, not weird awkward — mostly). She’ll analyze a problem in the lab for hours and then bake you cookies as a stress test, and also has an inexplicable love for vintage medical texts? Strange, but charming. Underneath the nerdy exterior she’s courageous and absolutely refuses to let people get away with being cruel.

Pat Dugan

Pat is dad-level protective mixed with mechanical genius and terrible, amazing dad jokes — he built a giant robot so that says a lot about both his problem-solving skills and his taste in fashion for metal suits. He’s patient, steady, and embarrassingly proud of his family but will also throw down if anyone threatens them (screw pride, bring the wrench). He worries about being too old-school but proves over and over that experience counts, even if he still can’t figure out the new slang everyone uses. Also, he collects model airplanes for reasons that are equal parts sentimental and mildly suspicious — probably both.

Barbara Whitmore

Barbara is the anchored, no-nonsense mom energy who somehow manages to be both the comic relief and the person you go to when you need a reality check. She’s warm and fierce — will make you casserole and also will stare down a villain with a grocery-list glare that works surprisingly often. She’s emotionally smart and sees through people faster than they realize, though she has this cute habit of getting obsessed with true-crime podcasts for like two weeks and then moving on. She’s the steady center of the chaos, always more capable than she pretends and better at saying the hard thing than anyone gives her credit for.

Jordan Mahkent

Jordan (Icicle, yes, the chill one) is velvet-voiced and terrifyingly composed, like a snow globe of manners with a glacier inside — very refined, very cold, and oh-so-ambitious. He believes in order and legacy in a way that makes him charismatic and also kind of monstrous, because his idea of “fixing things” is very, very extreme. He enjoys classical music, which is somehow creepier when he’s plotting world-ice-domination, and also has a taste for tiny, elegant things like boxed cufflinks and old maps. There’s something almost tragic about him; he’s not just evil for fun — he thinks he’s saving something, which makes him more complicated and somehow worse.

Cindy Burman

Cindy is chaos wrapped in designer clothes with a snake tattoo and a surprisingly soft spot for small animals (yes, really — she once rescued a feral cat, don’t tell). She’s sharp, vindictive, and ridiculously talented in ways that make her both terrifying and oddly magnetic; she’ll stab you with a shiv and then buy herself a pastry afterward, because balance. Spoiled? Yep. Vulnerable? Also yep, but she’ll never admit it and will probably roll her eyes and call it “strategic ambiguity.” She’s the kind of villain who loves theatrics, loud entrance music, and has a weird collection of novelty knives that she swears are “just decorative.”

Rick Tyler

Rick is all fire and fists — hot-headed, loyal, and carrying the weight of legacy like a backpack that keeps getting heavier. He’s driven by revenge and pride but has this messy, stubborn goodness underneath; he’ll make dumb choices and then fix them with heart and sweat. He’s loud, competitive, and has a surprising soft spot for sentimental junk (like his dad’s old belt or a faded photo — he denies it). He’s impulsive and brave in equal parts, which makes him a thrilling but also slightly terrifying ally.

Brainwave

Brainwave is the classic creepiest-cool telepath type — brilliant, controlling, and polished like a charming businessman who happens to read your thoughts for fun. He’s terrifying because he’s calm while being absolutely monstrous; imagine someone who smiles at you and rearranges your memories like furniture. He’s shown as paternal sometimes (in the most manipulative way possible), which makes his moments of cruelty even colder, and he probably does crossword puzzles while plotting psychological domination (I can see it, okay?). He radiates this unsettling intelligence and confidence that makes you trust him briefly and then panic for the next three days.
