Star Light

> A true thespian at heart, always ready to break into song or perform for his friends! This shooting star had shined so brightly that he wanted to share that light with the people on the ground below, so he flew down from the sky to sing with us every single day.

Star Light is a Dreamworld Entertainment animatronic and the deuteragonist of the *Welcome to Dreamworld* series.

## Appearance

Star Light is a 6'8 animatronic with a star-shaped head, the colors split down the middle so that the right side is pale blue while the left side is yellow. He has a slender body and long, thin limbs, with his right limbs being various shades of blue while his left limbs are shades of yellow and orange. The back of Star Light's head is often depicted in various ways, as it is either treated as a completely flat face,

Star Light is designed as though he's wearing a suit, with split-color coattails hanging behind him and a split-color bow tie at the base of his neck. He is equipped with two masks, Scarlet and Bluey, that are attached just below the back of his neck. They often fold up on his back like ladybug wings.

Star Light is suspended from the ceiling by a large support beam with a few exposed wires around its multiple joints, allowing him to move through the air rather than walk on the ground.

## Personality

Star Light speaks eloquently and dramatically, using a thespian vernacular and a tendency to refer to friends as "darling." He is charismatic and flamboyant, and he easily frets when things don't perfectly line up with his own plans. He acts as the leader of the animatronics, having the most knowledge about their circumstances.

## History

Star Light was given life using the soul of Lewis Bright, and for a brief period of time, he was the only animatronic able to speak in the Dreamworld Entertainment Facility. He had interacted briefly once with Oliver Acrimony and Damien Klein during an interview, revealing his ability to speak to the two of them. While Eric Gale was performing a check-up on the Winnie animatronic, Star Light attempted to speak with and warn him, sending Eric to Lewis's house. When the incident resulted in Eric's death, Star Light stopped attempting to get help from other humans in order to prevent such a thing from happening again.

Star Light later found companionship in the form of Ribbon Dancer, though he was frustrated by the other animatronic's inability to remember anything. He later met Rex, who he convinced to lay low and assume the role of his character for the sake of Ribbon Dancer's understanding, though he eventually revealed that he used to be the founder, Lewis. As more of the animatronics gained life, Star Light became friends with them, though he stopped sharing his old identity with them at some point.

Once Wiatt Nicholson became an employee at the Dreamworld Entertainment facility, Star Light became extremely close with him and introduced him to the other animatronics despite the staff policy that kept employees from interacting with them. After having called Wiatt down to the Star Light Theater to help redecorate, the facility collapsed, trapping Wiatt with him at the bottom. After learning that the collapse was likely caused by a virus, Star Light decided to help guide Wiatt back out of the facility.

On their way out of the Star Light theater, Wiatt questioned Star Light about the shady business surrounding Dreamworld Entertainment. Just as Star Light conceded and began speaking about Eric, the two are interrupted by a virus-infected LolliPop. Pop cryptically taunted Star Light over what happened with Eric before giving him and Wiatt a head-start to run off and hide. Star Light escaped with Wiatt up a level to Arcadescape, where he had a chance to explain the functionality of his masks -- Scarlet enhances his sadder emotions, while Bluey amplifies more affectionate ones. While the two were socializing more, Star Light was suddenly grabbed and deactivated by a large mechanical claw. He was infected with the virus through his Bluey mask and relocated to the Star Light theater.

Star Light was eventually found by Wiatt, whom he attempted to kill. After giving Wiatt a chance to speak some last words, however, he begins speaking about Lewis Bright, shocking Star Light enough to give him an opportunity to deactivate the virus. Ashamed over having nearly killed his friend, Star Light sulks in his theater before talking it through with Wiatt. The conversation turns towards the existence of spirits, to which Star Light shows Wiatt footage obtained from an old film camera that shows proof of supernatural happenings as far back as the 1800's. The two left the theater and began traversing Arcadescape, this time accompanied by Melody, Masquerade, Mimic, and Ribbon Dancer. While questioning why Ribbon Dancer was never infected by the virus, the animatronic instead shows the two a video he found on a tablet from Wiatt's locker that reveals that Wiatt knew Star Light used to be Lewis the whole time. After having the information out in the open, Wiatt assumes Star Light wants to get back with him and asks him out on a date after escaping the facility, to which Star agrees.

The group briefly searches the Madhouse for LolliPop before moving up to Trampoland. When Star Light briefly moves away to turn on the room's lights, the rest of the group is ambushed by LolliPop, along with an infected Rex. In order to protect Wiatt, Star Light intervenes, trying to stop Rex by prompting him to think about what Alyssa would think if he were to hurt anyone. After the confrontation ends, Star Light realizes that Wiatt is gone and searches desperately for him. Ribbon Dancer attempts to comfort him, shocking him by calling him "Lewis." Recognizing that he is speaking to a more lucid Eric, Star Light conversed with his friend and learned that Ribbon Dancer must not have been afflicted by the virus due to his "damaged soul." He assures Eric that Carly would be fine soon before the other reverted back to Ribbon Dancer.

Along with his group, Star Light sees footage aired on the facility's screens that reveals that the remaining virus-affected animatronics have taken Oliver Acrimony hostage and are threatening to kill him unless Sara Covetman does not turn herself in. He urges his friends to move upstairs and try to save Oliver. As they travel through the facility, Star Light begins recording with an extra camera he found in Wiatt's locker. While he films himself worrying over whether Wiatt may have been killed by a virus-ridden Glory, the group encounters Damien Klein, followed by an encounter with a Twimblo. With the new additions to their group, Star Light moves on before finally reuniting with Wiatt during a face-off with Sara. When Wiatt tries to pursue Sara by following her down an open vent shaft, Star Light grabs onto him, desperate not to separate again. His support beam snapped, sending him, Wiatt, and the Twimblo that hopped on his shoulder, falling down into the lower levels of the Dreamworld facility.

Unable to walk without his support beam, Star Light was carried by Wiatt through the unfamiliar part of the facility, with Wiatt himself only following the twimblo, whom he named Oddity. The two were led to a dark room where Star Light discovered Lewis's corpse and struggled to fight off a panic attack over the sight. After Wiatt helped him calm down, he was introduced to Alison, who helped the two find a room to repair his support beam. Now able to more freely move on his own, Star Light followed Wiatt and Oddity out to the caves that surrounded the facility. Here, they they found The Collector, which Wiatt promptly began yelling to wake up. The Collector helped cause a cave-in, and Star Light readies to leave and find Sara, seeming unsure about being able to help the giant robot at all. Once Wiatt theorized that the collection of souls may be clinging to once thing and that Litho has been planning everything for longer than anyone realized, Star Light became frustrated that the lives of him and his friends were doomed from the start. He eventually relented and decided to help The Collector by letting Oddity tamper with the souls inside. All of the fragments were released, revealing the spirit of Agnus, whom Star Light began a brief conversation with before being interrupted by Litho. Enraged, Litho used his puppet strings to knock everyone out and reconstruct the facility.

Star Light woke up to find himself inside a dark maintenance room in Dreamworld Entertainment, with Winnie preparing to wipe his mind so that the facility could continue running smoothly. Desperate to preserve the life that he just began to pull back together and to keep his memory of Wiatt, Star Light began begging Winnie not to, saying that Litho will kill him regardless of whether he obeys and begging him to remember his humanity. Winnie begrudgingly releases him on the condition that he cannot tell anyone, which Star Light agrees to.

Star Light resumes a relatively normal, cheerful life in the facility, though he notices that the memories of the other animatronics seem to be returning, which he warns Winnie of. He is dismissed and instead starts gathering the animatronics to enjoy the party taking place in the facility's lobby, though once he encounters Ribbon Dancer, he notices that he is not nearly as upbeat or energetic as he usually is. Ribbon Dancer reveals that Winnie failed to erase his memories and that he shares Eric's soul; rather than being Eric, Ribbon Dancer is a newly existing entity.

After returning back up to the first floor, Star Light runs into a disguised Night Light and recognizes her. He goes to alert Litho, only to catch him in a converstion with Celio. Litho orders him to chase the person down and he obliges, eventually cornering Celio with Ribbon Dancer's help and knocking them out.
