Eclipsa Butterfly

Eclipsa Butterfly also known as Eclipsa the Queen of Darkness is the overarching protagonist of Star vs. the Forces of Evil. 
Once presumed to be Star Butterfly's sixth great-grandmother and Moon Butterfly's fifth great-grandmother, she is later revealed to be Meteora Butterfly's mother. She is first alluded to in "Into the Wand".
She is voiced by Esmé Bianco in the English version of the cartoon, and by Angela Brusa in the Italian version of the cartoon.
==Overview==
Originally thought to be Star's ninth great-grandmother, Eclipsa was revealed to be the last queen of the original Butterfly dynasty before being succeeded by a line of usurpers. 
Eclipsa garnered a reputation for being quite rebellious and was even believed by many to be outright evil, due to her unapologetic use of taboo dark magic, and for having rejected her arranged marriage to a nobleman, abandoning her kingdom to elope with her monster lover, Globgor, whom the mewmans greatly feared. Eclipsa and Globgor had a daughter together before the forbidden couple was crystallized a full three centuries before the start of the series, with their daughter being given away, growing up to become the villainous Miss Heinous. 
Eclipsa has since regained her freedom through a bargain struck with Moon, which set in motion a series of events that eventually led to Star willingly surrendering both the wand and the throne of Mewni to Eclipsa. 
==Powers & Abilities==
Eclipsa is extremely powerful with the Wand. She created numerous spells and can take down a Solarian Warrior with the Wand's power. Eclipsa never learned to use magic without the Royal Wand.
==Personality==
When first introducted, Eclipsa is preceded by a terrible reputation, but from questionable sources—the most specific and repeated "crime" attributed to her was miscegenation. Once freed, Eclipsa practically turned herself in and showed a lot of goodwill to Star and others, but doesn't care if people consider her evil. Later on, she is shown to be a hero at heart and is trying to be a good queen. Likewise, she has shown to do acts of great selflessness (i.e., attempting to kill her enraged daughter to protect Star and save the kingdom), holds no grudge over those who hate her, and is willing to help those in need, especially her loved ones.
Eclipsa believes that knowledge of dark magic and the unknown isn't inheritantly bad; only used by bad people. In fact, her spells are the only thing that can kill Tofe.
It's rare Eclipsa shows genuine anger, always maintaining the etiquette of a polite lady. This includes when she's accosted by the Magic High Commission after they find her; even smiling and asking Moon how things turned out for her. What sets Eclipsa off is the selfishness of others, be it the Commission or even her daughter Meteora. To defeat a solarian warrior Eclipsa used the Spell with No Name to vanquish it. After defeating the solarian warrior an exhausted Eclipsa explained to to star that she swore to never used the spell due to fearing she’ll turn into her mother. While destroying the magic Eclipsa noticed the spirit of her mother behind her, but she used her mewberty wings to block her. However, when she grabbed Meteora and confronted her she became overjoyed and saddened at the same time. This could imply that Eclipsa and her mother have a somewhat complicated relationship.
==Trivia==
*Her English voice actress, Esmé Bianco, interpred Ros in Game Of Thrones.
**Gemma Whelan (her mother's voice actress) interpred Yara Greyjoy in the same show.
*Ironically, while Eclipsa adores monsters, her mother hated them.
*It is implied that Eclipsa is born to never married parents since her father was never stated as her mother’s husband.
*The Magic High Commission were the real villains of her story, having Rhombulus imprison Eclipsa and her husband Globgor in crystal; all just because Eclispa ditched her arranged marriage to be with a monster and had a child with him.
