Star Butterfly

Princess Star Butterfly, titular name Star the Underestimated, is the protagonist of the Disney Channel and Disney XD's animated series Star vs. the Forces of Evil. She is an intergalactic princess from the Kingdom of Mewni.

Physical Appearance
Star is a fair-skinned fourteen-year-old girl with light blue eyes and long blonde hair that goes down to her knees. Her cheeks have posh pink hearts, which sometimes change into things that reflect her emotions, such as hourglasses when she is bored, grey skulls when she is pumped for battle, white skulls when she is depressed, or light bulbs when she has an idea.

With nearly all her outfits, she wears a red or pink headband with horns.

During her Mewberty period, Star had purple hearts appear all over her skin, until she eventually turned completely purple and acquired an insect-like appearance. Her hair turned pale lavender twisted into two buns, her eyes were replaced with glowing hearts, and gained four extra arms and butterfly-like wings. After her Mewberty phase, she reverted back to normal, but left with a small pair of wings on her back, often hidden by her hair. In her second Mewberty form, Star's eyes become yellow four-pointed stars, her skin becomes a lighter shade, and gains an extra two pair of arms like before along with large fiery gold wings. Her hair also appears as a lighter shade of blonde in two long bun braids. After she gains full control over the form, her eyes appear as their regular blue, and she does not glow.

Personality
Star is extremely energetic and friendly. She loves having fun, and she usually has an optimistic outlook on life. She loves to help others and whenever she sees that someone is upset, she does her best to cheer them up. She is a bit reckless, as she enjoys fighting monsters and doing wild things. She is also stubborn at times, as she often does things her own way and not listening to other people's rules or even take advice. Strangers, in her eyes, are just friends she has not met yet, and she feels bad if she hurts someone's feelings, whether intentionally or not. However, Star can be egocentric, wanting attention and getting frustrated with things that bother her. Thus, she gets jealous very easily. Star has a happy-go-lucky attitude and always puts a smile on everyone's faces. She also works very hard towards her goals, so much that she will sometimes go sleep-deprived.

As the series progresses, Star becomes less prone to resorting to magic to fix a situation, and shows a willingness to become stronger, more serious, and not running away from her problems, despite this sometimes resulting in her underestimating her enemies. After Toffee's defeat, she decides to focus on becoming a better princess, and starts to act more serious and mature as a result.

Season One
Star's adventures start off on her fourteenth birthday, where her Mother bestows upon her their family's greatest heirloom, the Royal Magic Wand. Unfortunately due to being reckless and irresponsible, she causes so much chaos and destruction that her parents decide to send away. At first she thought her parents were sending her to St. Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses, but to her relief they were sending her to Earth, where she can learn her magic safely. Star was dropped off at her new school in a place called Echo Creek, where she met Marco Diaz, a student at her school and would be living with during her stay on Earth. During their first meeting, Star immediately took a liking to Marco and declared him a friend, but Marco at the time was not so keen about her because of how chaotic she was, especially with her magic. Marco finally lost it when Star accidentally sucked his room into a black hole, that he decided to run away from home, abhorrent of his new roommate. Feeling sorry, Star found Marco outside a shop, and acknowledged the hardship she had put him through. She was planning to find another family to live with, but after a brief battle with Ludo and his monster army, Marco expressed a change of heart toward Star, and a preference for her to remain a resident of his home.

Through the course of the first season, Star and Marco go on many adventures, and Star tries her hardest to adjust to life on Earth which for her proves difficult. She even misunderstands many things during her time on Earth, such as thinking Echo Creek Academy's football team was going into a fight to the death with a rival team called the "Warriors" or mistaking a product known as the "Banagic" as an actual magical object. A few times, Star is encountered by Ludo and his monster army who are out to steal her wand, but never succeed. She also tried to help Marco with some of his personal problems. It would not be until the near end of season one where Star would meet her most greatest enemy of all, Toffee.

When Marco was kidnapped by Toffee, Star set out to rescue him, accompanied by Ludo and Buff Frog. Apparently Toffee was proven to be far too smart for Star that she was forced to surrender her wand to him, only to learn that he wanted her to destroy it. Using a whispering spell, her wand destroyed itself and blew up Ludo's castle along with Toffee and Ludo's former monster army. However, a new tiny unicorn came along to recharge the wand, giving it a new appearance, with half of the star face missing.

Season Two
Star continued to live with the Diazs, practicing her magic under the tutorials of Glossaryck and handling school life. Star remains reckless and irresponsible, but over the course of the season develops more maturity. Star even struggled with her newly restored wand. Even though it remained reliable, it had not been the same since the day it was destroyed. It was now powered by a unicorn corrupted by an evil force, and did not work properly when Star feels negative emotions.

Star's friendship with Marco slowly became very strained, especially when he started dating his long time crush, Jackie-Lynn Thomas. In the episode "Sleepover", a game box called Truth or Punishment revealed that Star had a crush on Marco just as it got crushed by a dump truck. Throughout the second half of season two, Star struggled with her growing feelings for Marco, and tried her hardest to ignore them. Marco would not know about Star's crush on him until "Face the Music", when the songstrel, Ruberiot, wrote a song about Star for her Song Day. His song revealed all of Star's deepest and darkest secrets, including her crush on Marco. After that, Star and Marco's friendship became even more strained and the two of them desperately tried to avoid each other. During an end of the school year party, in "Starcrushed", Marco asked Star straight out if she had a crush on him, and answered no. She just wanted the two of them to be friends, to which Marco agreed with. However, after Star's mother showed up in her room to take her back to Mewni and with news that Toffee had returned, Star confessed to Marco in front of everyone that she does have a crush on him before tearfully leaving Earth.

Season Three
In "Battle For Mewni", since leaving Earth, Star and Moon try to revive the Magic High Commission and fail, and after Star gets fed up with her mother's indecisiveness about what to do, Moon confesses that Toffee was responsible for the death of her mother and reveals she made a deal with Queen Eclipsa in order for the spell to defeat Toffee, in return for her freedom, which was never completed. Continuing to be frustrated by her mother's lack of a plan and instead wanting to take on Toffee immediately, the two find new shelter with Buff Frog and her plan to sneak away with Buff Frog's help backfires when he understands Moon's concerns of protecting Star. His babies end up helping her escape only to be shocked by her lack of a plan and just preferring to go for it regardless of the risk. She sneaks into Butterfly Castle after it was taken over by Ludo who was still being possessed by Toffee, and uses the Whispering Spell to go in after him, only to find herself in a trap as Toffee, who had tainted all the magic in the universe, uses her to bribe her mother into returning his finger and he leaves Star to drown in the tainted magic. She awakes with Glossaryck, where she realizes she might have died, but finds a glimmer of remaining magic in his soup cauldron, and uses it to create a baby unicorn and return to Mewni in a new butterfly form, which she uses to incinerate Toffee, who is then crushed under a tower by Ludo.

Since then, Star has remained on Mewni and said goodbye to Marco, and has intended to mature and become a better princess, getting back together with Tom in "Club Snubbed", and meeting Eclipsa in "Stranger Danger", whom she helps gain a fair trial after feeling she didn't deserve to be crystallized upon learning she was only crystallized for falling in love with a monster, as well as meddling in black magic which she didn't believe was that evil. Marco even returns to Mewni in "Lint Catcher" after breaking up with Jackie, and is made her squire so they can hang out again. The two continue on with their adventures and Star eventually wishes to unite monsters and Mewmans together in peace as of "Starfari" after seeing the logical fallacies of what monster is judged and what monster isn't, and through this discovers in "Monster Bash" that her enemy and former headmistress of St. Olga's, Miss Heinous, is Eclipsa's half-monster daughter Meteora Butterfly. She finds the truth during Eclipsa's trial in "Butterfly Trap" that her family, unrelated to Eclipsa, was fostered by Eclipsa's Mewman ex-husband because he shunned Meteora for her hybrid nature and swapped her out with her ancestor Festivia, and was distraught that her family shouldn't have the kingdom. In "Is Another Mystery", she is further saddened when Buff Frog, his family, and many other monsters are leaving their dimension giving up hope. In the season finale, Star sends Marco to stall Meteora, who was growing in power by feeding on the life force of others planning to take back the throne, while she searches for her mother in the Realm of Magic she entered in "Deep Dive" after going there following a defeat fighting Meteora in "Tough Love", finding her but is once again held back by the realm's effects despite backups. She is transported back by her unicorn creation, and has to confront Meteora in Butterfly Castle. She barely puts a fight against her, until Eclipsa borrows her wand and uses it to stop Meteora and regress her back into a baby. Star lets Eclipsa keep the wand to correct the crime committed on her long ago, and learns from a revived Glossaryck that she intends to reunite with her monster husband Globgor, who was crystallized in the Monster Temple long ago.

Season Four
Since putting Eclipsa back in charge of Mewni, Star ends up searching all over Mewni for her mother alongside Marco and her father, now capable of using her spells without a wand. After ending up searching the same prison tower twice, she finds out from a monster that her mother's appearing in a 'Pie Festival', which River cautions not to trust because the Pie folk are renowned con artists that scammed him once before. She ends up going nowhere when she finds that the Pie folk are just exploiting her everywhere. After they watch a mock play that makes fun of River and Star, they find Queen Moon playing as herself. (TBC...) (This will be the final season of the show. Sad, since it's such an engaging show, but it gives us opportunity to expand. Currently watching the first episode.)

Role in the series
Star and her friend Marco Diaz have become acquainted allies for the Shell Lodge Squad since the events of Alternate Meets Original when they saved an immigrant from the Alternate UUniverses named Saetha from the bitter brother of Toffee, Coffee, and serve as one of their eyes in other dimensions. She even becomes a monster herself in the episode Saetha's Wedding after being transformed by Globgor's creation Chaemera, and at first she likes it, but the form changes her mind to be more monstrous and angry.
