Characters

^{The Team}

StarPower is a pink axolotl salamander and Stardust’s sister. She roams the universe with her human friends, Aurora and Ray. Her magical ability is being able to enlarge to sizes bigger than stars and shrinking to be pocket-sized, as well as shapeshifting. She speaks by repeatedly saying “bubble.” She was born on Starmander Creek with her sister and other salamanders.

Stardust is a green mudpuppy salamander and StarPower’s sister. She lives in Friendship and pairs up with Ray. She speaks by repeatedly saying “twinkle.” She'll even tell yes by nodding or no by nodding side to side. To give directions, she would leave glitter on the screen. She was born on Starmander Creek with her sister and other salamanders..

Aurora is the human host and a Star Ranger. Born on the gas planet Bory Alice, she is the warm, enthusiastic partner of StarPower. As a Star Ranger, she engages directly with viewers to teach science and explore new worlds. She is known for her upbeat delivery and infectious joy that emphasizes accessibility and emotional connection.

Ray is Aurora’s courageous apprentice and the caregiver of Stardust. Born on LaserMoon, they often get ahead of themself on any adventure, inevitably getting stuck in a messy situation. They are an action-adventure hero with a big heart. They hope to earn their Newton Badge one day to be a Star Ranger.
