==Biography==
===Early Life===
Annie January was born around 1996/1997 to Donna January, who gave her daughter Compound V so she could develop powers of her own. During her childhood, Annie was taken to superhero festivals to encourage her to become one, and also was a contestant in the Little Miss Hero pageant. During one of these events, she spread a rumor that her fellow competitor "Sparkler" slept with the judge to become one of the finalist. While Annie won the pageant, she wouldn't know the full consequences of her actions until years later. Alongside her childhood friend Drummer Boy, she joined Young Americans, a superhero team that consisted of teenagers that were opposites of Teenage Kix. She began a relationship with Drummer Boy around this time, and it's mentioned that they lost their virginity to each other.
===Season One===
Following Lamplighter's retirement, Vought decided to found a new and young superhero to join The Seven. Annie managed to be selected following an interview, and was introduced to the Deep, whom she admits always had a crush on. While being shown around The Seven's tower, the Deep decides to take advantage of her during the situation, and then proceeds to blackmail Annie into pleasuring him if she wants to remain on The Seven. Following the incident, Annie suffers from shock and depression, but her spirits are mostly risen when she meets Hughie Campbell at the park. She is then assigned to investigate the docks with the Deep, whom she stands up to after learning he isn't Homelander's number two. The two work together to take down several thugs, and Vought soon arrives and ceases the opportunity to show the two publicly.
Later on, Starlight encounters two men attempting to rape a woman and fights the two, but she is scolded by Ashley Barrett since the incident was recorded. She later has a meeting with Madelyn Stillwell, who reveals that the victim saw the video and came forward that the two men were attempting to rape her. With her popularity increasing, Vought creates a new uniform that is revealing, but Annie reluctantly wears since Stillwell explains that she can't be a member of The Seven if she doesn't wear it. Despite having to come to terms with losing some of her morals to remain on The Seven, she begins a romantic relationship with Hughie, whom is a member of The Boys and wants to get revenge against A-Train. While attending the Believe Expo, Starlight reveals that she was sexually assaulted, but doesn't reveal the Deep's name. However, Stillwell orders the Deep to reveal that he was one he committed the act, and he is taken out from The Seven.
Some time later, Starlight learns of Hughie's involvement in killing Translucent and with The Boys, and later confronts him about the situation. During the conversation, she is shot by Butcher, but survives due to her durability. Though angered at Hughie, she agrees to help him rescue his teammates Mother's Milk, Frenchie and the Female from Vought's captivity. During the battle, Starlight is attacked by A-Train, whom suffers from Compound V abuse and has to be resuscitated. Annie tells Hughie to leave with his teammates as she tries to help A-Train, as Vought arrives soon after.
===Season Two===
Seeing Vought's power being corrupt, Annie becomes an asset to The Boys, providing Hughie with information while still acting as a member of The Seven. She manages to obtain a sample of Compound V by blackmailing her childhood friend Gecko, and releases the information to the world that supes are made by the compound instead of being made. The Seven later work on trying to stop The Boys, who lose their transport thanks to the Deep using his whale. She corners Hughie in a tunnel as Homelander orders her to kill him, but she doesn't as he is distracted by Butcher. Homelander later confronts her about this in the tower's elevator, but she manages to prevent him from killing her.
She meets with Hughie and Mother's Milk, deciding that she wants to come their trip to find a supe named "Liberty". The trio discover that The Seven's new member Stormfront is Liberty, and Hughie relies the information to Butcher. Returning home, Annie learns that Stormfront knows that she released the truth about Compound V, thus putting her in the supe's sights. Fearing for her safety, Annie goes to The Boys and asks Frenchie to remove the chip from her neck. She then works with them in entering the Sage Grove Center, and has an argument with Butcher being similar to Homelander. Despite their bickering, the two worked together to get Hughie to a hospital after he's injured by an escaped supe. 
When reuniting with her mother, she is captured by Black Noir and taken to The Seven's tower, but is saved by Queen Maeve and Hughie. She is then labeled a criminal and a traitor to The Seven, forcing Annie to hide from the public and work with The Boys to find a way to stop Vought and Stormfront. After the witness Jonah Vogelbaum is killed at the trial, Annie and Hughie are given information on Stormfront's past to the Nazi Party by A-Train, who wants back in The Seven. After the information is revealed to the public, Annie works with the group to rescue Becca's son Ryan. When Stormfront arrives, Annie, the Female and Queen Maeve beat her ruthlessly until she flies away. After Stormfront's defeat, Annie is brought back into The Seven, and rekindles her relationship with Hughie.
===Season Three===
Starlight's popularity and ratings have increased following her return to The Seven, and Stan Edgar decides to promote her to co-captain of The Seven alongside Homelander. Despite her and Hughie's concerns, Annie decides to take the position as she wants to be a role model for young girls. However, this causes Homelander's mental state to further deteriorate, as he has an outburst at his birthday party following the death of Stormfront. His popularity returns with the white population, resulting in him regaining power to the point that he feels that nobody can stop him. He starts by announcing to the public that he and Starlight are dating, and she decides to go along with the charade so she can find a way to stop him for good.
Deciding to find allies within The Seven, Annie recruits Maeve and Supersonic to fight against Homelander, but this backfires when A-Train informs Homelander of their plan. Homelander then brings Starlight to Supersonic's mutilated corpse, telling her to end her plan if she doesn't Hughie to end up like Supersonic. The next day, Annie ridicules A-Train for his actions, considering him a coward for his attempts to please someone who despises him. Following the explosion in New York that kills several people, The Seven learns that if was Soldier Boy, who was believed to have sacrificed himself back in the nineteen eighties. Meeting with Hughie, he reveals their plan and that he's taking V24, a temporary dose of Compound V that gives the user a power for twenty-four hours. She is shocked by the revelation, and argues with him about the situation.
Later on, Starlight is contacted by Mother's Milk, revealing Butcher's plan to confront Soldier Boy's former teammate Crimson Countess. Reaching there at night, she finds Mother's Milk unconscious, but she is taken away by Hughie by using his teleportation power. The the argue about keeping secrets with each other, but are interrupted by the explosion of Countess' trailer, seeing Soldier Boy leaving the ruins. Annie prepares to attack the supe but is stopped by Hughie, whom reveals that Soldier Boy is there weapon as he could stop Homelander for good. She attempts to persuade Hughie to no avail, as Campbell leaves the area with Butcher and Soldier Boy. Despite this, Starlight continues to put on the charade with The Seven and works with Mother's Milk, who wants to get revenge against Soldier Boy for causing the deaths of his family.
Wanting to know where Soldier Boy will go next, Mother's Milk deduces that since he is hunting down his former teammates, he will probably head to the TNT Twins' mansion. Before they can head there, Annie is called back to The Seven, where she is confronted by Victoria Neuman following an interview. Neuman reveals that she know that Annie and Hughie know of her superpower, and wants to team up with January in exchange for her influence. Annie refuses, having become tired of playing dirty and telling Victoria to kill her if she wishes so. Afterward, Starlight and Mother's Milk go the TNT Twins' mansion, where they see numerous supes participating in the herogasm. At the event, Annie works on trying to reduce the causalities once Soldier Boy appears, and blackmails the Deep into finding why Homelander sent him there. She also encounters Hughie and argues with him, and Campbell reveals that he is bothered by her powers despite having previously denied so.
The argument is interrupted by the mansion exploding, and Starlight prevents Hughie from stopping her from returning there. While she convinces Mother's Milk to help her attend to the wounded, Homelander arrives and is nearly killed by Soldier Boy, Butcher and Hughie, but escapes. After the incident, Annie sets up a live broadcast where she reveals the threat Soldier Boy poses, the abuse that she and Queen Maeve suffer from Homelander, and that she is leaving The Seven. Meeting with Frenchie and the Female, they ask her to give them a dose of Compound V so Kimiko can get her powers back. She agrees and returns to Vought tower, where she records a live broadcast of Homelander threatening her. While obtaining Compound V, Annie learns that of the side effects of V24, and contacts Butcher to warn him and Hughie.
Knowing that Butcher will ignore her warning, Annie decides to save Hughie, but finds him unconscious in a gas station bathroom. During the drive, Annie and Hughie reconcile and head to Mother's Milk home to meet with him and Queen Maeve. The group then head to Butcher's where they confront him, but they are then put into a safe by Billy so that he, Maeve and Soldier Boy can confront Homelander. Managing to escape, the group assist Butcher in fighting Soldier Boy, and they are able to knock him unconscious by using gas and Maeve tackling him out of the building. Following the incident, Annie meets with a depowered Maeve, whom tells the supe that she doesn't need her anymore. Returning to The Boys, Annie is welcomed to the team as their newest member.
===Season Four===
Starlight becomes the victim of a relentless misinformation and harassment campaign executed by Firecracker; the spread and audience of the lies is increased dramatically as - under Sister Sage's masterplan - Firecracker is appointed into the Seven, and granted television, news, and greater online permeation. When Starlight confronts Firecracker at Vought Tower, the latter is angry she isn't remembered; Firecracker explains that when they were competitors in teen beauty pageants, Starlight spread a falsehood about her sleeping with judges to be allowed entry into the contests to overcome her low socio-economical status. Starlight is horrified by the revelation and expresses sincere remorse, trying to rationalise it as a folly of youth and her mother's pressure, yet still apologising for her actions. Firecracker spitefully rejects the apology, and promises to keep going until her rival's life is completely ruined.
Despite holding a grudge about Starlight's lie, Firecracker found it inspiring, since she learned that if a lie is repeated enough, it doesn't matter if it lacks evidence because people will still believe it. Vought News Network provides a live broadcast for Firecracker to promote fundamentalist Evangelical views, although, the primary purpose is merely to continuing slinging mud at Starlight. Through Vought's contacts, Firecracker discovered that Starlight had an abortion, which she exposed to the public, while also framing it as an accusation of Starlight being a "baby-killer." Being overwhelmed by constant degradation with lies, the exposure of a heartbreaking truth breaks Starlight's patience; she confronts Firecracker on stage, who smugly believes it is for a debate, but instead Starlight begins to violently bash the shock jock. 
According to Sage's plan, the cameras filmed Starlight beating Firecracker; Starlight would continue to lose control, until MM grabbed her arm to stop her, and make her aware of the optics. However, damage was done, thus Starlight's reputation took another hit, with her framed as an irrational and "out of nowhere" attacker against someone allegedly utilising their First Amendment rights. A bill that would prevent supes from entering military, police, and other law enforcement positions was killed due to the Starlight's outburst, thereby Sage's plan succeeded. Another consequence is that US Presidential candidate Robert Singer is forced to cut ties with Starlight, costing him another ally in fighting Vought.
The Boys recruit convict Stan Edgar, offering a Presidential pardon, yet primarily the reveal of his granddaughter being made a supe, making him agree to helping them. Edgar directed the Boys to a farm he owned - now owned by his adopted daughter, Victoria Neuman - which he deduced would be the location of the secret lab that she made to study and possibly create a stronger strain of the supe-killing virus from the Woods lab beneath Godolkin University. When they find the lab abandoned and signs of bloody struggle, they are intercepted by Neuman and a few of her guards; Neuman criticised Edgar for helping the Boys, which he astutely retorted by implying about how she betrayed him first.
Edgar convinced Neuman to cooperate with the Boys in their search of the farm, in the hope of finding the virus and/or the lead scientist, Dr. Sameer Shah. The farm animals had received Compound V due to a lab hamster breaking containment and poisoning the ground water with V. While the guards all die, the main group make it to the safety of the barn, in which they found Shah. Due to Neuman's intimacy with Shah, the Boys realise that he was her daughter's father, which Edgar confirmed with spite due to believing a violation of trust with his employee engaging in romance with his daughter.
Shah explained about the breach in containment and him being the sole survivor; he revealed that he had one dose of the virus left. Due to the threat of the vampire sheep outside, there was the choice of infecting the nearby dead body with it to feed to the creatures, and hope for the best by rushing past the sheep, keeping the virus for further advancement. Ultimately, it was decided that the body would be infected to kill the sheep; it took until night, but the sheep consume the body, making the group feel safe enough to flee. The sheep all died horribly, however, in the rush, it appeared as though Shah had died since all they could find of him was his severed leg.
However, Butcher had actually kidnapped Shah, and was walking with his old CIA buddy Joe Kessler. Butcher threatened Shah to make the virus again, and offered to let him go afterwards. 
During a party of the rich elite and selected members of the Seven at Tek Knight's mansion, Hughie infiltrated undercover as Webweaver; Hughie was exposed by Tek, who threatened to surgically cut holes into him to rape. Fortunately, Annie and Kimiko are able to stop Tek and rescue Hughie. To interrogate Tek, they bound him to one of his sex contraptions, with Kimiko stabbing him with a scalpel, however, since his masochism was so extreme, no pain could give him anything but pleasure. A trapped gimp broke his bonds, and made them understand that the laptop could access Tek's bank accounts, thus they use it to donate to causes he hates, like charities for the less fortunate and support for racial minorities. Tek cracked, confessing that he didn't know what the plan was, only revealing that Homelander and Sage wanted his prisons, of which he holds the greatest amount for a private company. Hughie and Annie exclaim their realisation that Homelander aimed to convert the prisons into internment camps for humans. Tek's butler, Elijah, was enraged by the revelations of genocide, so strangled Tek; Elijah assured the Boys that it would look like an autoerotic asphyxiation accident, therefore leaving them leave unblamed and he chokes Tek to death.
When Butcher and Kessler went to the secret location that held Shah, the scientist confessed that in the lab they discovered it was impossible to make the virus strong enough to kill Homelander without it uncontrollably mutating and becoming airborne to kill every supe in the world. Kessler expressed excitement, while Butcher's conscience in the form of his late wife, Becca, tried to dissuade him from genocide; however, Kessler exposed that he was also not a real person, but a dissociative identity born from the V24 tumours that absorbed a half-dose of Compound V, yet claimed that he represented what Butcher truly wanted, that is complete extinction of supes. Due to disagreeing with genocide, Butcher revealed his kidnapping of Shah to the Boys; while they were outraged, he made the argument that the virus was the priority, so tasked Frenchie with helping Shah, and Kimiko would guard them.
After the mission, Hughie confided in Annie about how he was molested, but mainly as a prelude to admit that he wasn't feeling well due to the recent passing of his father. Hughie sobbed with grief, while Annie gently comforted him.
Homelander and Sage send the Deep an Black Noir II to kill the Boys, though at the base were only Annie and Butcher. Deep ranted about his grudge against Annie, accusing her of trying to "cancel" because of the sexual assault that he doesn't believe to be a crime or even wrongdoing; while Annie and Butcher are unintimidated by Deep, they are alarmed when what appeared to be Black Noir appeared. Butcher and Annie are at a disadvantage, until A-Train rushed in, knocking the Deep away from Annie; MM collected the minigun and fired at the flying Noir II, who was smashed out the window. Annie brutally beat Deep, shoving her hands into his gills to lift him up, before slamming him down; Annie grabbed a barbell to bash Deep unconscious. This allowed the Boys and A-Train to retreat before Noir II recovered.
Sage had conscripted the Shapeshifter in imprisoning Annie and taking her place to assassinate President Robert Singer, as to elevate VP Victoria Neuman into Office. Due to Annie's inability to harness her powers, she was helpless as the Shapeshifter ambushed her disguised as a Starlighter. The Shapeshifter kept Annie chained by shackles and alive, since they needed to occasionally physically touch her for their transformation to avoid decaying. The Shapeshifter mocked Annie before they left.
Annie struggled to manifest her powers, but failed, leaving her to futilely yank at the chains. The Shapeshifter returned, mockingly showing that Hughie had unknowingly proposed to a fake; Annie called them a psychopath, though they pedantically and angrily express their belief they are sociopath. The Shapeshifter revealed their original change, when in preschool, they had touched the teacher, so changed into her; a part of their powers involved memory absorption, so she gained the teacher's memories, and as a child had the sensory recollections of her life, including sexual ones. They recount that they have changed so often that they don't know their original face or identity anymore, however, feel confident in their judgment that everyone is a bad person because they all believe their actions are justified. The Shapeshifter then taunted Annie by accusing her of being sanctimonious and believing herself superior to everyone, and believing that any bad thing she did was someone else's fault; when they mock her for being weak and inviting molestation upon herself, Annie cried as the emotional abuse accumulated.
The Shapeshifter taunted that Annie wasn't the first choice as the scapegoat, but opportunity arose; they leave to complete their mission, while Annie tugged at the chains again. Eventually, Annie was driven to partially glove herself, which allowed her to slip out of the shackles. The Shapeshifter had been delayed enough for Annie to stop them, and fight; while Annie still couldn't muster her light powers, she could use her strength to battle them. Annie managed to break the Shapeshifter's neck, killing them, thereby preventing the assassination.
Annie was upset at Hughie for unknowingly cheating, even if technically it wasn't cheating, but rape. Annie vented her repressed emotions about her insecurity, fear, and fatigue over fighting a seeming helpless battle. Now feeling moderately cleansed, Annie told Hughie that she wasn't mad at him, yet reasonably insisted on getting tested for sexual transmitted diseases that were likely infesting the Shapeshifter.
Shah managed to escape by injecting a viral sample into Kimiko's leg; however, Frenchie was able to amputate the leg before the virus spread into her body. Butcher ordered that Frenchie use the virus in the leg to recreate it, which was arduous but Frenchie managed to create a new dose of the supe-killing virus.
Annie was skeptical when Victoria Neuman called Hughie, requesting a meeting for her to agree to an alliance to fight against Homelander, who had threatened her daughter, Zoe, and whose ambitions were exceedingly more psychotic than she initially believed; despite Annie's doubt, Hughie's impassioned speech about stopping their dependence on violence as every solution, and achieve their goals through compassion, managed to convinced the present Boys, with Annie reluctant but agreeing with his logic of being human. Neuman arrived with one guard and her daughter, Zoe, at the decided meeting place; Neuman promised that she will be worth helping, and in turn will help as many times as needed.
The meeting was interrupted by the sudden arrival of Butcher, who had eerily recovered from his previous deathly ill status; Butcher declared no deals, however, Hughie attempted to reason with him, using himself and Butcher's late brother Lenny as reasons that he was capable of more than just violence. While Butcher placed a hand on Hughie's shoulder, he merely pushed him aside, before numerous tumorous tendrils burst from Butcher's chest, encircling Neuman. When the bodyguard fired at Butcher, it did nothing, and a loose tendril knocked the gun out of his hand; Zoe attempted to attack, but another tendril bashed her head, causing her to crash into metal shelves, which fell on her as she was unconscious. The Boys, including Annie, attempted to step forward, but were intimidated back by snarling tendrils. Butcher lifted Neuman into the air and tore her in half at the waist, dousing Hughie with blood and the floor with guts.
Butcher's appendages retreated into his chest, sealing shut. Frenchie aimed the rifle with the supe-killing virus dart at Butcher, threatening that by taking V, Butcher could be killed by it, but the latter simply took the rifle, and retrieved the virus for his possession. Butcher went to leave, but before doing so darkly mentioned that they are welcome.
With no other options forward due to Neuman's death, the Boys split up into small teams to go into hiding, and wait until they can regroup. However, Sage had discerned their actions, so sent black op troops with at least one Vought supe to apprehend them. When Hughie and Annie were cornered, she finally regained control of her powers, and he gave a nod of understanding, thus she used her new ability to fly away. Annie and Butcher were left the only Boys that evaded capture, with Butcher's dissociative identity Kessler malevolently smiling about holding the virus that could kill every supe.
==Personality==
At her core, Annie is an idealist and one of the very few "Supers" who truly care about helping others and doing what she believes is right. She cares little for publicity being uncomfortable with the amount of attention she gets from the media as well as being pressured to change her costume to be an over-sexualized role model for young girls. She also felt like a fraud during her early time as a member of The Seven, as she had yet to perform any notable heroic acts.
Annie was Christian, but is not extreme in her beliefs as shown when she attends a Christian carnival and is disillusioned by the homophobic propaganda. This led to her questioning her faith and not caring about it as much. She confessed that as a teenager, she would drink heavily, since it took a lot to even feel a buzz. She also lost her virginity to a fellow teen superhero, Super Sonic.
She quickly developed a connection with Hughie, but became disillusioned when she learned he was in The Boys, and believed that he never loved her, only acted like he did to use her (while he actually *was* using her, it was after coercion from Butcher and his grief from the death of his previous girlfriend). Similarly, she was shocked and angered when learning the truth of Compound V, as it broke her faith in God, as well as aggravated her existing resentment at her mother for her years of exploitation and vicarious living through her. Regardless of being disillusioned, she was forgiving, so did reestablish a relationship with Hughie based on honesty now, plus she worked hard to ensure her mother from freed from the clutches of Vought and Homelander. 
After Firecracker's relentless lies, which ended in one truth about Annie undertaking an abortion, she violently beat Firecracker for exposing her private life; however, Annie still felt guilty for orchestrating a bullying and misinformation plot herself when they were both rivals in teen beauty pageants, so partially forgave her and apologised repeatedly. One person she refused to ever forgive was the Deep for his sexual assault of her, and aggressively rejects his admittedly self-serving attempts to apologise; when Deep and Black Noir II were sent to kill the Boys, Deep went into rant about feeling victimised by Annie and retracting his prior self-serving apology, and mock her. Rather than anger, Annie seemed genuinely baffled that Deep was so stupid; even so, when she was knocking him out, the power of her strikes or use of dumbbell indicated that she did harbor rage against her assaulter. 
Part of her ability to forgive is her capacity to see the best in people when it is present, therefore she was a crucial figure in encouraging the redemption of Queen Maeve; while the faux-Amazon reacted negatively towards her in private, Annie still sensed there was a good person buried under her cynicism and hedonism. Her tenacity gradually help convince Maeve to believe in the heroism that she had once abandoned long ago.
While her initial efforts to rebel against the corrupt system were clumsy and often impulsive, eventually she became capable of hiding her intentions from the company, and she learned how to plan ahead. She is terrified of Homelander, yet was able to stand up to him for quite a while, even against other obstacles like Stormfront and even pretending to be his girlfriend for the press despite the fact she was also disgusted by him.
After escaping captivity caused by the Shapeshifter, who took her place for a while, Annie was upset at Hughie for not noticing the switch and engaging in sexual activity with the fake; while Hughie apologised and revealed details of difference that he did notice, she remained angered. Part of her anger was projection due to trauma from the abduction, and the Shapeshifter's negative evaluation of her using her memories; after some consideration, she forgave Hughie, although understandably insisted that he be checked for STI's before the next time they are intimate.

==Trivia==
*Unlike in the comics, where she is sexually assaulted by Homelander, Black Noir, and A-Train, she is a victim of The Deep in the TV series; it was changed as the showrunners felt it would be too gratuitous for a live-action version, and actually be less effective in delivering the message.
*She seems occasionally to be based on Starfire, Stargirl and Mary Marvel from DC comics and Captain Marvel and Dazzler from Marvel comics.
* Erin Moriarty claims to have read the vast majority of the original comics, and says she loved being chosen to play Starlight.
**Erin confesses that she loves to wear the new costume hated by Starlight, saying it is "sexy and flashy! The way Starlight should be".
*Her final big attack in the season 3 finale became a meme because it had a really long charge time, but the effect on Soldier Boy was only knocking him back, with him rising again without problem after 2 seconds.
*The method of flight she accomplished in the season 4 finale was similar to how Iron Man propels himself, via venting energy through his suit's hands (though, in his case, he also used his suit's boots).
