Stargirl's defining character trait is her self-love. Most teenage girls are afflicted with low self-esteem, self-loathing, and fears that they will never be good enough. Stargirl is different in that she is self-confident and embraces things in her personality that others find strange or weird. Everything from Stargirl's attire to her choice of friends is unique, and that is what makes her memorable character.
