## Depictions in the series

### Miracle Movie Flares

Jerry first appears in meeting two Friheten boys – Luna and Jason, on the set of the new Italy Hospodines movie. She introduces herself as the niece of the film's director – Mr. Erik, as well as his personal gofer, often tasked with getting him coffee and preparing film shoots. She is also the keeper of the keys to every area in the movie studio. Being a big fan of the Italy Hospodines, Jerry wants her uncle to cast her as Empress Constantine in the movie, but he passes her over in favor of star actress – Chesney Olivia.

When several mishaps occur around the studio, such as the sabotage of a Principality of Rome volcano set and the theft of several important movie props, the Starlight Glimmer girl is revealed to be the irresponsible culprit. She admits that she did these out of bitterness over not being cast as Empress Constantine and her resentment toward Chesney. While she is forgiven by her uncle, Jerry gets banned from the studio. As she is escorted off the set by studio security, she looks back at Luna and the Petrovburg Heroes with malice.

### Magical Mirror Flares

Sometime after the events of Miracle Movie Flares, Jerry has a job at the Petrovburg Plaza as a movie theater usher. Though her uncle got her the job out of pity, she is very unsatisfied with the menial position and resentful toward Luna and the Petrovburg Heroes for ruining her chances of becoming famous. While trying on sunglasses at a mall kiosk, Jerry looks in a hand mirror enchanted with Aulia's curse magic and sees her idealized self as a famous movie star. Under Aulia's control, Jerry becomes obsessed with the mirror to the point of vanity.

While cleaning up popcorn, Jerry discovers that the mirror can trap things inside it. When the Petrovburg Heroes appear before her, she vents her frustrations at them for ruining her life and imprisons them within the mirror. Later on, when confronted by Princess Martin, Jerry imprisons her as well. With the Frihetens trapped together in brambles, the power of their geodes activates more of the mirror's magic and transforms Jerry into a giant, monstrous version of her fantasy self.

Once transformed, Jerry becomes so lost in the fantasy that she believes the people she's terrorizing are adoring fans and paparazzi. Susanti attempts to reason with the Starlight Glimmer girl, but she refuses to listen. When Susanti offers Jerry friendship, instead of fame, Jerry undoes all the magic that the mirror created, freeing the Petrovburg Heroes from their prison and turning herself back to normal. Jerry apologizes to the Friheten Seven for her actions, and they forgive and accept her as their new friend.

## Special story depictions

### Holidays Unwrapped

Jerry is mentioned by Celestia as "Starlight Glimmer" in the Saving Celestial Pie segment, and she appears walking through the plaza at the beginning of the Dashing Through the Plaza segment.

## Personality

When first introduced as the Starlight Glimmer girl, Jerry is portrayed as very friendly and innocent. Like two of her partner boys – Luna and Jason, she is a huge fan of Empress Constantine, having met her once and gotten her to sign her copy of the latest Italy Hospodines books. She also appears to be a big movie enthusiast, having worked on the sets for all of her uncle's movies, and evidenced by her film reel-shaped hairpins. She shares her movie interest with the Fluttershy blades.

However, toward the end of Miracle Movie Flares and in Magical Mirror Flares, Jerry's true colors come to light. Her desire to be cast as Empress Constantine and become a famous movie star is so strong that she is willing to sabotage the production of a film. When her dreams are not realized, she lashes out at those responsible, demonstrated when she uses a magic hand mirror to trap Luna and his friends in brambles. Jerry also shows considerable indifference for her job as a theater usher, willfully ignoring her boss, groaning over any tasks given to her, and wanting the annoying customers to go away.

In her transformed state, Jerry's views on the world become warped to the point where she perceives screaming people as adoring fans. However, she does express deep remorse at the ends of Miracle Movie Flares and Magical Mirror Flares, her actions stemming from a desire to be liked by others.

Jerry's favorite food is Bon Mot peanut butter praline crunch bars, which are also Chesney's favorite snack.
