Eclipsa Butterfly was the 20th Queen of the Butterfly Queendom. She is best known for abandoning her kingdom to go with her monster husband, having a half monster daughter, and having a quasi second reign. She also lived for over 300 years after being crystallized for the majority of it.

### Early Life

Eclipsa Solaria Butterfly was born on the 4th of Warnicorn 495 years after Mewnipendence to Queen Hekatia Butterfly and King Consort Edmund Cross. She was the only night queen born during the day, this was because the largest moon Darlene was in front of the sun during a solar eclipse. She possessed teal hair and grey eyes from her father as well as having red spades on her cheeks.She also had very very pale skin. To this day it is debated whether this was gotten from her mothers use of dark magic to help her birth or if it was an extremely slight case of albinism inherited from her great-great-great-great grandmother Queen Galaxia the Clairvoyant. From a young age, Eclipsa was a calm, approachable, and sympathetic girl, with a great willingness to forgive people. However she also had an impulsive behavior, doing whatever it took to achieve her goals. She was curious, adventurous, and snoopy. It was common to see the princess sneaking around the castle to gather gossip she heard from servants to tell her parents. She had a strong bond with her father Edmund who she loved to walk with in the Garden of Roses with and play the coronation ceremony. Her father also loved to read her “The Tales Beyond the Sea of Alphonse the Worthy,” Eclipsa favorite story when it came to putting her to bed. Her obsession with chocolate also began with her father giving it to her. However with her mother Hekatia she was more distant. From the age of 5 she reports “Mother is busy again.” Eclipsa around this time discovered hidden passages in her castle, two being in her room. 503 years after Mewnipendence is an important date. The princess reports “Tonight i had a dream that i was following my mother to a hidden room, she was standing in front of a hold in the wall, and when she looked for me when i made a noise and when i saw her leave, i went to take a look at that and i stretched out my hand, and then i woke up, with my mother beside my bed holding my hand. I have something black in my hand now just like mom. She told me to hide it with makeup. It would be our little secret.” The following week, during the Mewnipendence parade, the mysterious disappearance of her mother occurred. Her mother was found and Eclipsa went to sleep. As the years passed and as she approached adulthood her adventurous and challenging side grew, leading to several attempts to sneak out of the castle to explore what lay beyond the walls of the capitol. 507 years after Mewnipendence Butterfly Castle was invaded by a diverse group of monsters. During the confusion, Eclipsa saw her father killed while he was trying to slow the invade of the monsters. At the sight of this the princess fled into the Garden of Roses. She was surprised by a size shifter, a type of monster. The size shifter after seeing the princess fall on the ground and crying in fear, dropped his weapon and tried to calm her. But before they could extend the conversation any further Hekatia and 6 knights arrived and drove off the monster. Although this was an impact event for the princess and after a period of mourning she continued her desire to know the outside world, however this didn’t cause her to neglect her safety, she was now well aware of the war between the monsters and her people. However Eclipsa knew it wouldn’t be possible to explore the outside world until she inherited the wand, especially when her mother assigned Mina Loveberry, a cadet of the Mewni Warriors to act as her personal bodyguard. Until that day the princess busied herself by taking Sitar classes as well as studying the past queen’s records that survived the Great Fire of the Firefly Library, that occurred during Queen Festivia the Fun’s reign. 509 years after Mewnipendence, Eclipsa inherited the Royal Magic Wand. It took the form of a parasol and is the longest wand to this day. When she inherited it her mother told her “Don't do anything i wouldn't do” and Eclipsa would have responded with a wink. During the wand passing ceremony feast, Hekatia informed her daughter of her intentions to engage her to a choice of three men. The three men were, Prince Wyman, of the Piefolk Kingdom, Prince Shastacan, of the Spiderbite Kingdom , and Lady Rose's youngest son, Edric Flowers. Although she was forced to pick one of the three, her mother didn’t rush or push her to pick and let her take her time. Finally in possession, Eclipsa could put her plans into practice. Her early magical studies showed her to be a person with great magic potential, creating powerful but equally morally bad spells for either self-protection or self-knowledge. Such spells were named Midnight Shriek, a spell which launched a powerful blast of light. purple magical energy through a dark purple butterfly, Low self esteem nightmare dream, a spell which made the target have extreme low self esteem, Body Swap Spell, a spell that switched the casters and the targets mind to each other’s bodies, and unnamed spells for mind reading and intrusion. Her most famous spell was the All Seeing Eye, a spell which allowed the caster to see anything in its current state and place, she used this to sneak around her bodyguard and her mother to escape outdoors. There are few or no records on Eclipsa’s excursions, but it’s known that she used spells to numb the senses of the monsters she used this on to use them safely as guides on her explorations, she used this spell on the weakest to the most dangerous monsters. The one monster she didn’t use her spell on was the monster that didn’t attack her in the rose garden. Eclipsa described the monster, who was named Prince Globgor  as “a silly monster with an apparent inability to say his own name. He is the kind and courteous Prince Globgor of the size shifters.” At the same time Eclipsa began to start the deciding process of her engagement. Her favorite choice was Prince Wyman of the Piefolk, who she said was extremely sweet. The least favorite choice of the princess was Prince Shastacan, of the Spiderbites, “his repulsive and obvious personality interest in marrying by status.” As for Edric Flowers, who she described as “the owner of an intelligent and thinking head.” However his friendship with Shastacan and the lack of time they got to know each other weighed against him. Within weeks the princess already made her choice, Prince Wyman. However an unexpected event triggered a turn around. One night Prince Wyman invited the Eclipsa to taste one of his new pie recipes, but before she could take a bite Edric appeared and stopped her. This started a fight between Edric and Wyman which prompted Shastacan to knock Wyman to the ground. Eclipsa and Edric pulled them apart, but the fight already caught the attention of the knights and The Queen herself. Edric accused the Prince of Piefolk of trying to poison Eclipsa. Wyman confessed that the monster kings had promised them land if they killed the Queen and the Princess. Hekatia told him “you’re fools if you believe the monsters would allow you to rule the land they fight for.” Hekatia then ordered the prince’s entourage to be executed and sent pies with butterfly ornaments to the pie island with a letter ordering the Piefolk to never threaten the Royal Family and the Butterfly Kingdom ever again. Prince Wyman’s final destination is unknown. Edric's effort to investigate Wyman thus sacrificing his scarce time to get to know the princess Butterfly and try to win her, for the sole purpose of protecting her captivated the princess. The next week Eclipsa spent most of her time with Edric, who days after surprised the princess positively with his “peaceful and rational personality, always preferring words to swords, different from most of the Mewmans. I wish I had known him earlier. Maybe mom's idea wasn’t so bad after all, but she doesn't need to know that.” After 2 weeks Eclipsa informed her mother of his decision. Hekatia officially announced Edric Flowers as her daughter's fiance. Shastacan cried in disappointment, as if he really believed he had a chance, which led to the princess to giggle. 513 years after Mewnipendence Hekatia passed away.

### Reign as Queen

Though not suddenly, Eclipsa was not prepared for the news and the consequences and responsibilities that followed it, she was only 18. Eclipsa barely had time to end her grief before she was placed to perform her Royal Duties a week after her mothers death. As a princess she always longed to end the Great Monster War as queen and create peace. Unfortunately things didn’t go as planned. In addition to being overwhelmed by her older and more experienced Mewnisters forced her to make decisions that went against her peaceful intentions, especially due to the major monster military advanced after her mothers death. The pressure of the marriage didn’t get to her as much due to Lord Edric, with whom Eclipsa always found rest and relaxation. Queen Eclispa’s favorite pastime was walking through the Garden of Roses

   with Edric taught her the secrets of gardening. On the other hand all contact between Globgor and Eclipsa suddenly stopped. The Queen wrote letters but she got no response. Even the All Seeing Eye couldn’t find him. After news that the size shifter troops had been destroyed at the Battle of Red Bridge, Eclipsa fearing the worst she tried to move on. The wedding took place 514 years after Mewnipendence. It was marked by the large presence of security, to prevent a monster attack from taking place. The marriage proved extremely advantageous to Eclipsa, who not only gained a loving husband but also a faithful advisor and skilled king. One example of this is when Edric convinced the Mewnisters to invest in a system of new drains, sewers, sinking wells, and fountains after the old ones were damaged by the war. Eclipsa also reported that since their marriages the monster and Mewman troops became less hostile and generals agreed to negotiate. 516 years after Mewnipendence news came to the queen that the

    size shifters pulled themselves out of the Monster Coalition and officially withdrew from the war. A week later Eclipsa received a letter from Globgor. She met her old monster friend days later. She hit him with a spell and allowed him to explain himself. Globgor justified his disappearance on the basis of his fathers death and him attempting to convince his people that the war was meaningless. Although Eclipsa forgave him, their meetings became less frequent, and they talked mostly through letters. Eclipsa would be genuinely frightened when Edric found the letters between her and Globgor. Although the queen desperately tried to explain herself, Edric calmly handed her the letter saying her friendship was very important for the future. Edric suggested she invite Globgor to the Butterfly Castle. Globgor declined however, fearing reprisals from his people, either monsters or mewmans.

    Edric never knew of Eclipsa’s and Globgor’s secret meetings, something that brooded over her inside. 521 years after Mewnipendence Eclipsa discovered she was pregnant. When she told Edric he cried and hugged his wife’s knees. The news also had been received with great joy but the court. Another generation was secured on the Royal Throne. Eclipsa shared the news with Globgor on one of their secret meetings, however he didn’t seem happy with the news. 522 years after Mewnipendence gave birth to her sweet little girl she named Luna Butterfly. On Luna’s 5th birthday Eclipsa gave her daughter a silver ring decorated with a small rose quartz carved into a flower with the inscription “To my most precious rose.” 528 years after Mewnipendence on her 33rd birthday, Eclipsa would finally receive her coronation ceremony, something that had not happened due to the battles and conflicts. The ceremony had been a gift from Princess Luna who stormed into the meeting room Before her mother arrived and asked the Mewnisters to give her mother a proper coronation, captivating them with her sweetness. What she didn’t expect was that that would be the last happy memory Luna had of her family. Months later, the royal family had been invited to a ball that would bring together the heirs of various kingdoms in the Plague Kingdom. Edric agreed to go in Eclipsa’s place due to her managing a war, and brought Luna. About a month after their departure Eclipsa had been taken by overwhelming news: Plague's Tragedy. A fire of gigantic portions that had overwhelmed the ball and the guests such as Princess Luna and her Father. The confirmation came when a box containing Luna’s ring. The news filled Eclipsa with pain and suffering. For days the queen wasn’t seen leaving her room. Although she did secretly meet her old friend Globgor, to find comfort and support in. However things went from

    worse to awful following Spiderbite Kingdom's withdrawal from the war, claiming the war was a lost cause now that the Butterfly Kingdom didn’t even have an heir. This caused the Mewnisters to pressure her into marrying King Spiderbites brother Prince Shastacan. Against her will and appreciation Eclipsa was forced to marry Shastacan. Without ceremony or a feast they were married by royal decree. Not only was the marriage unsuccessful it didn’t help Eclipsa focus on her Royal Duties, causing her to neglect her duties on a critical level, even sneaking out to meet Globgor daily. Such meetings brought a sense of happiness to Eclipsa’s life, something she hadn’t felt since Luna’s and Edric’s death and her loveless marriage to Shastacan. Eventually Globgor eventually revealed his feelings for Eclipsa, something he held within himself for years, but never told her out of respect for Edric and Eclipsa. This revelation made her finally understand the feelings she held within herself about her old friend. With nothing to bind her except a political marriage with a person of a deplorable personality. Eclipsa responded by leading them into a hidden relationship which would have gone too far one night under a heavenwood. However Eclipsa would face her biggest crisis a month later, starting with the discovery of her pregnancy with Globgor’s child. Knowing she could keep a secret child hidden for long, the idea of running away from Globgor and abdicating the throne was maturing inside Eclipsa’s head. But things got out of hand when Lady Forest and her son and Lord Redbird and his two daughters were kidnapped by Septarian and Mud Dweller troops.  A hostage exchange had been required by rouge monsters. The Mewmans however didn’t have hostages in the same number and value, but still agreed to negotiate. When Eclipsa and her generals arrived with only 4 hostages of equal value. General Seth said nothing, and proceeded one by one with the exchanges. However when the last hostage was exchanged, Eclipsa attempted a peaceful release of Lord Redbird, Seth smiled and said “You have a good, Your majesty. Let me give you one in return.” One of his men decapitated Lord Redbird and threw his head before the queen. Shocked by the scene, and after hearing Lord Redbird’s daughter’s cry behind her, Eclipsa raised her wand at Seth with fury, who was walking back from his army, and whispered the words she heard in her dreams since the night since she got her scars. “I call the darkness unto me, from deepest depths of land and sea. From ancient evils unawoken, break the one that can’t be broken. To blackest night, I pledge my soul and crush my soul to burning coal. To summon forth a deathly power, to see my hated

     foe devoured.” A dark jet of energy cut through the air and hit one Seth’s men who had jumped in front of Seth, and became a macabre pile of bones. Then the monster and Mewman troops fell into a giant sea of steel. Eclipsa was taken back to the castle where she demanded to be alone in her room. Having reached her limit and could no longer handle this whole situation, she sent a letter to Globgor about her decision to flee that night while the kingdom slept. In her last moments in the kingdom, she wrote the darkest spell, as it was known, in the book of spells. To this day this is known as the most powerful spell in the book of spells. She also wrote her abdication letter, wishing luck to whoever the Mewnisters choose as their new monarch. With the clothes on her body, a medallion with a photo of her late family, and her baby in her stomach, Eclipsa met Globgor in the secret passages in the tower in the Garden of Roses known as the Rose Tower and fled to the abandoned Monster Temple. She was 34 and was queen for 17 years.

### Post Queenhood and Arrest

Eclipsa gave birth to the first Mewman-monster hybrid 530 years after Mewnipendence. She was born with lavender hair and magenta snake eyes, clawed fingers and toes, and a thin dark purple hair. She had periwinkle spades on her cheeks. Eclipsa named her Meteora Butterfly ll after her grandmother, hoping that the name would bring good memories in a future where monsters and newman's coexisted. Eclipsa and her family would meet their unfortunate fate on a day full of unfortunate coincidences. After Globgor left to get food he was delayed home by a flood. Eclipsa decided to go to the town on her own to get supplies leaving Meteora under the care of her hired monsters. Less than an hour after her departure a group of Frogmen monsters approached the temple seeking refuge, the guards denied them entrance and a fight began. During this knights from the Butterfly Kingdom were out trying to capture a group of monster outlaws. When they were redirected by the same flood and came across the fight between the Frogmen and the monster guards. Already outnumbered, the knights killed the 5 remaining monsters, and set off to search the temple. There they met little Meteora, taking her back to the castle when they recognized the famous royal marks. At night when Eclipsa finally returned to the temple and found the remnants of a struggle there. She ran to the nursery and found it empty, where she wept to sleep and was found by Globgor the next morning. The initial suspicion was that Seth kidnapped her daughter but that proved to be false. Soon they discovered that knights from the Butterfly Kingdom had taken Meteora, Eclipsa was overwhelmed by desperation by the thought of her daughter being in the hands of Shastacan, made her demand they invade Butterfly Castle. Globgor however urged caution and to think of a better plan, which angered Eclipsa. It was then while Globgor was asleep that Eclipsa used her Mind Control Spell and possessed him. She used his body to march towards Butterfly Castle. Eclipsa didn’t care cautiously and furtively, breaking the castle walls and causing a great commotion. Eclipsa did not find Meteora but did find Shastacan who she questioned about where her daughter was. Shastacan said he put an end to her. Overcome by anger, and with the spells side effect, she ate Shastacan alive. Not believing Shastacan’s word Eclipsa searched the castle in search of her daughter when she found a group of knights guarding a door. After getting the guards out of the way and breaking into the room, shock came. Her eldest daughter, Luna, shrunk scared in the coroner of her room but most of all alive. Eclipsa would have tried to talk to her when her former bodyguard Mina Loveberry stepped in between them. Emotionally shaken she returned to the monster temple followed by Mina Loveberry and the Magical High Commission. Rhombulus crystallized Eclipsa’s body then Globgor's immediately undoing the spell she was using to control Globgor's body. Globgor was held captive and crystallized in the monster temple's secret chamber and Eclipsa was brought to the Crystal Dimension where all of the Magical Prisoners were taken.

### Decrystallization, Second "Reign", and Death

Eclispa would stay crystallized for 300 years there. 813 years after Mewnipendence Eclipsa had been decrystallized at the request of the young Queen Moon Butterfly, who had come in search of the necessary knowledge of The Darkest Spell for the young queen to use against a septarian. Though with her memory hazy she helped queen moon relating to the young queen and her pain. However she remained clever and used a magical contract with Queen Moon so that once her enemy was killed she would be set free.. Eclipsa was soon recrystallized soon after the magical contract was made. However the Queen of Darkness’s freedom would only come 29 years later, 842 years after Mewnipendence. Though finally free, Eclipsa felt lost, as if something had been taken from her and she returned where she believed she would find the best answers, Butterfly Castle. At the castle she would meet the now adult Queen Moon and her daughter Princess Star Butterfly as well as the Magical High Commission. Instead, the request Immediately request lies. She had been protected by Princess Star who earned her under the right to a trial. She would spend her custody in the Rose Tower where she earned the sympathy of Queen Moon and Princess Star after the discovery her daughter Meteora was alive. A series of events between 842 and 843 years after Mewnipendence, Including Meteora’s destruction of Butterfly Castle and Meteora’s return to baby status after one of Eclipsa’s spells, led to acting queen Star Butterfly to relinquish the throne in the name of Eclipsa, an act unconstitutional and unofficial. It would also lead to Globgors release at her coronation ceremony, which was also unconstitutional and unofficial. These events along with others will be covered in the chapters of Queen Moon and Queen Star. Eclipsa, Globgor, and Meteora would all die during the War of Worlds 844 years after Mewnipendence, the shortest but most significant conflict in the history of Mewmanity. She was technically 349 years old but biologically she was 36. The Queen of Darkness was dead due a septarian attack. Her second reign lasted 1 year.
