== Charactah Account ==
Star is a magical princess from the other-dimensional Kingdom of Mewni who is sent to Earth by her parents for safety's sake in lieu of sending her to St. Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses after misusing the magic wand she received on her fourteenth birthday. Lives with her earthly hosts, the Diaz Family.
Star also loves to fight against monsters, but eventually comes to realize that monsters aren't so much as mindless enemies, but rather an entire race of people who have been systematically mistreated by Mewni's government. In turn, she resolves to fix the government's mistakes by trying to bridge the gap between monsters and Mewmans, being a very forward-thinking princess. She eventually abdicates the throne for Eclipsa, the rightful queen at the time, and becomes her primary advisor.

== Trivia ==
* Besides the opening and ending sequences, Star has appeared in every episode except "Is Mystery", "The Hard Way", "Moon the Undaunted", "Book Be Gone", "Marco and the King", "King Ludo", "Sophomore Slump", "Holiday Spellcial", "Tough Love", "Down by the River", "Kelly's World", "Princess Quasar Caterpillar and the Magic Bell", "Ghost of Butterfly Castle", "Meteora's Lesson" "A Spell with No Name", and "A Boy and His DC-700XE". She appeared in "Ludo, Where Art Thou?" only by proxy as a doll created by Ludo. In "Skooled!", only her voice is featured.
* At the beginning of the series, Star is 14 years old. As of "Stump Day", she is 15.
* In earlier conceptual versions of the series, Star was a grade school student who didn't have magic powers but believed she did. After someone suggested that she make Star older and have real magic powers, Daron Nefcy changed her into a princess from a different dimension.
* In an early concept of Star, she had a pet cat named Cashew.
* According to series creator Daron Nefcy, Star's favorite color is yellow. This is supported by the episode "Sleepover", although Star later states in the same episode that her favorite color is constantly changing.
* In earlier conceptual versions of the show, Star and Marco were enemies instead of friends, and Marco was named "Sol".
* Star herself has confirmed in "Mewnipendance Day" that she and the other people from Mewni are not humans. Rather, they are a humanoid species called "Mewmans".
** Although it was revealed in "Mama Star" that the first Mewmans were human settlers who had found their way to Mewni.
* Star has the tendency to open closed doors by kicking them, which annoys her mother.
* In "Ludo in the Wild", Star is shown jumping extremely high. However, this could be because she is on Mewni, she is a Mewman, or she is merely a hallucination of Ludo's.
* Star Butterfly's character was influenced by many anime heroines that Daron Nefcy admired, such as the female leads of Sailor Moon, Magic Knight Rayearth, and Revolutionary Girl Utena.
* In season 1, Star's tongue is dark red, but in season 2, it is a lighter shade of red.
* In the Korean dub, Star yells out, "Shabang Shabang!" prior to casting a spell. It means "Sparkle Sparkle!" in Korean.
* In the Japanese dub, Star (as well as many characters from Mewni) speaks with Kansai/Osaka dialect.
* In the Filipino dub, Star (as well as the majority of the characters) speaks with a slight Batangueño dialect.
* Star's birthday falls on Stump Day. However, Star doesn't traditionally celebrate her birthday on Stump Day so that she can observe the holiday and not anger the Stump.
** For this reason, it is likely that Star's 14th birthday was postponed to January (according to the mewman calendar), considering that when she moved to Echo Creek, the school was open.
* In Star and Marco's Guide to Mastering Every Dimension, it is revealed that Star chews on her wand because it tastes like caramel corn. The book also says that the wand tastes different to each wielder.
* "Butterfly Trap" reveals that Star, along with any other queen who ruled after Eclipsa, is not a true-blooded member of the Butterfly family due to Festivia the Fun, the replacement heir for Eclipsa's half-monster daughter Meteora, being a peasant.
** However, because her father River was a prince of the Johansen family and her 5th great-grandfather was Prince Musty Mountains, she is still a princess by birth.
* "Lake House Fever" reveals that Star got her horns on her second date with Tom. Star vs. the Forces of Evil: The Magic Book of Spells supported this as she states in the book that she bought them herself while on said date with Tom.
* According to Star vs. the Forces of Evil: The Magic Book of Spells, Star has at least some ancestral ties with demons due to her third great-grandmother Rhina Butterfly's marriage to John Roachley, a second cousin to the Lucitor family.
* Star's attributes in The Magic Book of Spells are:
** Strength: 13
** Intelligence: 16
** Wisdom: 11
** Dexterity: 16
** Constitution: 15
** Charisma: 18
* Star had the shortest reign as Queen of Mewni, right after Lyric Butterfly, who abdicated the throne early to her daughter Skywynne because she was bored.
* In the Big City Greens episode "Present Tense", a doll of Star can be seen in the claw machine at the arcade.
* Star's Butterfly form bears a stronger resemblance to the swallow-tailed moth rather than a butterfly.
** This is possibly hinting to the fact she is not a true descendant of the Butterfly lineage, but rather of Festivia's lineage.
* Star speaks the first and last lines in the series.
* Star appears in the Disney Broken Karaoke musical short "Sidekicks" (a parody of the song "Kicks" from the 2022 Disney+ film Sneakerella), and she is set to be featured in the crossover animated series Chibiverse alongside many other Disney Channel characters.
* According to a Q&A session with the show creators, when asked what the main characters are doing since the series ended, they said Star would be traveling the globe, exploring herself, and learning to do things without magic. They also suggested that she may discover that magic isn't actually dead.
