The Starlet

The Starlet is one of the Ghosts that emerged along with the T1-G1 Virus on Cinder Island in the comic series "Cinder Isle". She was a male sorcerer who had been born with the Gender Curse in life but after her death Alistair Huntington found her body and removed the curse postmortem, unknowingly taking a few of her lingering soul fragments with it and sealing it in his vault. Years later when the vault was breached, and her decayed curse mixed with spring water that would flow through a fault line cave leading to Cinder Island she would emerge as a ghost along with several others and wander the Island's forests for over a year. She encountered a few other ghosts and people but due to her fragmented soul she never realized what and where she really was and acted as if she was still a costume manager or actress (actor) as she had been in life. 
She was the first ghost to be encountered by the trio Shane, Zoey, and Gavin and used her powers of transforming clothing to make them all dressed in costumes she thought were for a play she was helping prepare for (Parody of Beauty and the Beast). Unlike some of the other ghosts she never became clear headed enough to know she was dead and thus remained one of the more problematic ghosts even the others like the Mistress had to deceive to keep under control. She was eventually laid to rest and sent to the After Life by a revived Alistair Huntington. 
== Design/Appearance ==
The Starlet appears as a 1950s styled actress dressed in a knee-high white dress and heals. She has styled and pumped-up blonde hair and is very skinny curvy. She appears to be around her late 20s to early 30s and like all ghosts is seen as semi-transparent and glows with a faint light. 
== History ==
The Starlet's backstory is never fully explained or explored, and little is mentioned or hinted at in terms of who she was in life. All that is known is that she was born as a male sorcerer who inherited the Gender Curse and died at a young age under unknown circumstances. After her/his death Alistair Huntington found her grave and cured her of her cure post-mortem. However, due to having lived cursed and having unresolved issues in life, fragments of her soul lingered and were removed along with her curse and sealed in the vault as well. 
Years later an earthquake would open a fault line cave from Alistair's Curse Vault to a lake on the nearby Cinder Island and the resulting leak of the decayed curse fluid would cause the Starlet's soul fragments to manifest as a Ghost along with several other lingering souls. The Starlet like most other ghosts early on had realization of what and where she truly was and as she wandered the islands forested areas, she remained under the impression she was still working on plays and movies and had to get other actors in wardrobe. 
She was the first ghost encountered by the Trio of Zoey, Gavin, and Shane and finally proved to the other what Shane had claimed about his earlier encounters. On Halloween night when they were passing through the woods the Starlet appeared to them and mistook them all for actors in a stage play who she needed to put into wardrobe. The three of them were costumed as a trio from Star Battles (Star Wars Parody) but the Starlet was under the impression they were set for roles in a romance play (Beauty and Beast Parody). She was quick to use her ability to transform clothing to redress them all individually. She put Zoey in a large yellow dress, Gavin in a medieval prince suite, and Shane in a medieval hunter's coat. Despite their arguments the Starlet was too delusional to understand or acknowledge their protests. The trio ran off frightened and stuck in their costumes for at least a couple hours or so leaving the Starlet back in the woods. 
The Starlet was seen again helping another ghost known as the Mistress. The Mistress has become more self-aware and knew the truth about them both being ghosts, but in an effort to sleep with a man again by possessing the body of a mortal woman she used Starlets delusions to her advantage and asked her to alter her clothing to a sexier outfit to entice the object of her desires. The Starlet did this easily and then disappeared. 
She was not seen in person again, but it was stated by Alistair that he found and sent her to the afterlife after having regained enough of his power. Thus, the Starlet was laid to rest and hopefully found peace in the afterlife, but it remains unsure if she ever realized what she truly was or she remained delusional until laid to rest. 
== Traits/Personality ==
While her exact back story is never explored it's likely due to the Gender Curse that Starlet had lived as a man and perhaps was not an actual actor in life and only the costume manager for other actors. However, his/her deep desire was to be an actress witch likely plays into her personality focused on getting the appearance perfect for others and making the best show possible. 
The Starlet seems to be very focused on appearance and clothing and is so obsessed with the perfection of it that she ignores any argument against it. While this plays into the issue of her being delusional due to her fragmented soul she does seem to display a clear obsession with her work and what she feels is her duty to ensure a good performance. While she is not as hostile as other delusional ghosts like the Queen or the Ex her clouded mind and obsession with her work made her more of a nuisance than an enemy. 
== Abilities/Powers ==
The Starlet was a gold blooded sorcerer in life and thus her powers as a ghost are more focused on transformation. Unlike traditional SF transformation that focuses on body alterations, her power seems focused only on clothing. She is able to transform and even conjure practically any form of clothing and accessory, even make-up. She is also able to levitate the people she is transforming but this may be an innate power of her being a ghost. She also uses a few standard powers possessed by all ghosts such as intangibility, invisibility, and a limited degree of flight.

== Trivia ==
* The Starlet's general design seems based off the trademark appearance of famous actress and model Marilin Maroe witch further supports the theory of her being from the 50's era.
