*"The proof that beauty can be a curse,*

*In the face of Venus the Fairest, lies its source."*

Venus Butterfly was the 15th Queen of the Butterfly Queendom. Venus is best known for her absolute beauty, as well as starting the Dark Ages being considered one of the worst queens of the Queendom.

### Early Life

Venus Estela Iris Butterfly was born 333 A.M. on lovers day to Queen Galaxia Butterfly and King Consort Condor Redbird. She was born right before dawn thus making her a star queen, the third one with the last two being her great-great-great grandmother Asteria the Mother of Stars and her great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandmother Estelaria the First Star. Her name was the High Mewnian word for beauty and also being the name of a planet that is seen in the sky of Mewni. She wasn’t born with a fixed color of hair or eyes and each person saw the color based on their own ideals of beauty, she also possessed female gender symbols on her cheeks as well as an extra one on her right angle that also changed color. Venus had a relaxed and cheerful personality, having no filter or shame to say what she thought. As a child she already showed a strong proclivity for affection and physical contact. It was common to see the young princess hugging her family and even the knights and servants. Venus had two siblings Minguanta Butterfly and Planet Butterfly. Her best friend was her cousin Swan Redbird, a girl with a crooked personality who she often had sleepovers with. An interesting note was that Venus’s favorite tea was a sweet blue tea made from petals from a flower called bloomoon. The princess’s beauty only increased as she grew. People would travel across the world and come just to catch a glimpse of the princess, something her parents secretly hated. One day 342 A.M. Venus and Swan

    were walking through the Blue Island of the Hundred Kingdoms of the Rainbow Isles on a royal visit. They stopped at a bloomoon tea vendor to buy the tea, the princess was going to pay but the vendor gave her the tea as a gift due to her beauty. This would plant the idea that she could get anything she wanted with her beauty alone. She started to become interested in intimate things at the age of 9 and a year later her nickname princess trouble began to take shape. She started to wear thinner and shorter cut clothing and she started to learn to control the color of her hair, eyes and marks, choosing the colors she wanted, except for Estelaria’s starry hair which secretly bothered her. This control also led to her colors changing based on her mood. During her 10th birthday ball also known as the Lonely Star Ball, she was the first princess to wear a strapless dress to the ball. Venus danced too close to her cousin Rooster, causing the guests being uncomfortable. She also met a boy named Eric Flowers, a boy of pink hair and grey eyes and a member of House Flowers. The first rumors about her behavior with boys around this time. Reports of boys doing small favors being done by the boys started coming, such as stealing small items to present to the princess. Although Galaxia and Condor had small concerns it wasn't a big deal. Her parents first got rumors that the princess had a body too developed for her age. The second was when King Condor found Venus sitting on Roosters lap but due to their age it wasn’t seen with its wickedness. And finally when Galaxia caught Venus reading a book too inappropriate for her age. It was after this that the relationship between her mother and her began to deteriorate, as Galaxia told everyone that her daughter was innocent, Venus’s rebellious side began to bloom. She saw her mother as someone who was constantly trying to overwhelm who she really was. Even as a rebel Venus never made a scene, always choosing to be sarcastic and ignoring whatever her mother said. This behavior drove Galaxia mad. Venus was known to have her first relationship with her cousin Swan. Then Blarney Stone, her High Mewnian tutor. She lost her right to be called a maiden with him, the youngest queen to do so. She was caught by her mother in the act who was so shocked she did not act at the moment. Later Venus took a severe punishment from her mother who ordered her to stop her activities. This did not have the desired effect on her daughter who just decided that her affairs would be shorter and safer. It got easier when she found secret rooms and passages that were built by Queen Hemera the Builder. Venus did in fact learn High Mewnian from the young Stone, it was through a power she discovered, she could learn languages from lip contact. The queen also issued a new law stating “severe punishment will be handed to anyone who touches the queen's offspring without the royal consent and before the age of majority.” Many imagined that Venus would be replaced by her sister Minguanta. However there was something that Venus had that her sister did not, an ability with numbers and finances. Two weeks before her 14th birthday, Venus had been walking in the castle garden when she was approached by Eric Flowers, a boy that had been obsessive over her for 2 years. Venus found it amusing to have a boy almost begging to have a relationship with her, Venus thought he was very easy. Venus decided to kiss him hoping he would leave her alone, and he did but only until the next morning when he sent her a letter saying i love you which Venus found too cheesy. Finally 347 A.M. Venus inherited the Royal Magic Wand. After the ceremony Venus was celebrating with Jordan Waterson, when she was interrupted when Eric showed up. Venus was enraged by this and ordered the boy not to look for her ever again. Venus said in a mocking tone that she would give him a chance when he brought her a rainbow flower, a semi-legendary flower found in the most isolated dimension in the universe. “So will be” were Eric's last words before he left and Venus laughed, “a big joke” though she never saw the boy since. On her 14th birthday her parents also gave her a magically enchanted chastity belt that could not be taken off unless released by her mother with her magic. However it only took the princess 3 days to remove it. This was done by instructing Glossaryck to teach her chainmail removal spells created by Urania the First One. Her parents soon figured out that she knew how to remove the belt. Her mother Galaxia tried to re enchant the belt with more of her magic but even with that more powerful magic Venus still removed it. And with that her parents began the Royal Detest, which was where Galaxia and Condor would not talk to her daughter about what she should or shouldn’t do but told her that she would have to deal with the consequences of her actions. Her parents also started separating her from her sibling. As per the prior mention of Venus’s magical abilities she was a skilled magic user, creating such spells as makeup blast and crystal dagger heart attack. 349 A.M. on a Royal Visit to the Clifford Kingdom. While both Royal Families were in a meeting room when Venus walked in wearing a dress that her mother described as “showing everything she did not want to hide.” Venus went to sleep in her room, but woke up in the younger Clifford Princes room despite having no memory of changing rooms. 350 A.M. Venus commented on how she wanted to comment on how she wanted to compete in the Queedom's tournament however her mother forbade her from competing. The queen stated “you wont get glory competing in a tournament where none of the contestants had the courage to beat her.” As the years passed Venus added more people to her “notebook” even adding those from not just the Butterfly Queendom. It was also during this period her sister Minguanta started seeing herself not as beautiful as her sister. She engaging in her first serious relationship with Bismuth Stone even which only lasted 6 months. A sad event came with the death of King Consort Condor, which led to the diminishing of her affairs and the rekindling of her relationship with her mother. However Galaxia’s trip to the Ancient Mewnian Empire and her subsequent behavior change upon return led to Venus’s change to her old ways. Her mother no longer got mad or irritated when she caught her daughter in more intimate situations. Venus served for a period as acting queen when her mother was away on her trip. During this period a mercenary group known as the silver company hired by the monster king tried to lay siege to the Butterfly Queendom. Venus solved the problem by sneaking into the general's tent with lacrimosa poison lipstick and kissed the general. It killed him and she was able to survive by using the antidote hidden in her bracelet. 355 A.M. Venus saw Galaxia sneaking into one of the castle's secret rooms, this time she decided to follow her. That night she reported “That night my mother did not send me away, but she said to write in her notebook everything she saw behind the white vision. She spoke of ashes, death, and destruction….when she seemed to suffocate. Suddenly a flash. And when I opened my eyes, she was on the floor, open-eyed, and breathing, but completely inert. Galaxia had vital signs but she was spiritually dead. But Venus refused to accept it, just leaving her mother’s bed only to go to sleep. However after 9 days, the 6th being her 22nd birthday, seeing how much Minguanta and  Planet suffered and were lonely. Venus saw she was nurturing a hope that did not exist. It was then that, while the whole Queendom slept, Venus went to her mothers bed, and with a pillow, and covered her face and choked her, until her heart stopped. This was never revealed. Venus was filled with loss and grief. She abused the bloomoon tea as well as only changed her colors to black. This demonstrates the scale of Venus’s beauty, because even though she wore simple colors and a monotonous expression she was still considered the fairest in all of Mewni. It was also during this time she could use her wand to see the true personalities of her mates.

### Reign of Queen

She finally had a coronation 356 A.M. at the age of 23, although this should be a moment of joy and shouldn’t be following a sad moment like the death of a queen. However this would be a common thing for generations to come. One of her earliest scandals as queen was her relationship with Lady Beatrice Cross, a married lady. This would be one of her biggest regrets of her life and made her decide to never have an affair with one married. This also led her to remove all her Mewnisters from their positions and replaced them with their younger children, all of which she had had affairs with. The first major event under her young Royal

    Council was the tournament, 357 A.M.. Venus, who did not allow modesty, increased Royal Spending on the tournament making it bigger and more grand. In order to have more money Venus authorized many financial support programs for the citizens, including the Financial Aid Program for Windows and Single Mothers created by great-great-great-great-great-great grandmother Queen Crescenta the Eager. This is where the decline of Venus’s popularity began and the event is also considered the official start of the dark ages. Later that year there was a ball celebrating the 25th anniversary of the end of the First Mewnian War. During the three days in the Laurel Kingdom (267 A.M. - Present) she had affairs with many of the royals visiting. Many offered to marry her but she always refused due to her considering marriage like a prison. Venus once got into an affair with a man named Reymond Cross, the next day her sister was going to present who she was engaged with to Venus. That man was Reymond Cross. After an embarrassing lunch, Venus tried to convince her sister without mentioning why not to marry Reymond. Though soon her sister figured why, the princess wasn’t angry or mad but just asked her if there was anyone in

    Mewni who hadn’t found their way to her bed. Another note was a few years ago her cousin Swan Redbird married Robb Loveberry and had two children. In 366 A.M. Robb Loveberry died after being pushed down the stairs by his wife, under allegations of self defense and mistreatment. Venus pardoned Swan from a trial, but after an in depth investigation by House Redbird investigators, it was revealed that Robb Loveberry was known for his murdered by Swan. Venus discovered that 4 of Swan and Robb’s children were actually of Swans and her own brothers, who said they were threatened by her sister. Her brother Owl and Crane revealed

    Swan poisoned her third brother Rooster after he threatened to tell the Queen the truth of her pregnancy. Venus, who was disgusted by her friend's betrayal, slapped her and expelled her from the Queendom, sending her children to live with her brothers and replacing her position with her sister Raven Redbird. After that Venus kept her head down, during the following weeks the nobles began to notice that she did not have a husband let alone an heir. Due to this Venus organized a ball to find herself a husband. The ball did not bring her one

    however her sister was able to find one of the only noble who hadn’t had a relationship with the queen to start a family with. However the night ended horrible when Venus was drugged and assaulted, as well as most of the portraits of her were missing. She ordered an investigation but that proved nothing. The answer of the missing paintings however came 40 minutes later when the paintings were, 40 of them in total were found scattered around the streets of the Queendom. Venus had all the paintings collected and ordered them to be publicly burned so that no one could see them, this became known as the paint bonfire. However the damage was already done and she started to become known as queen moth. All of this drastically changed Venus who started to use a veil to cover her face and reduced her affairs to almost 0. When her sister and brother started their families caused Venus to feel even more alone and that she was getting too old to find someone who actually loved her and to have children. It was then, 370 A.M., when she was still asleep a knight informed her about a visitor in the throne room. She discovered it was Eric Flowers, who she had not seen in years along with Todd Muzzleton, a commoner who Eric befriended during those years, who later was given a new Chivalry of House Flowers, House Muzzelton, by Queen Venus. Venus and Eric

     exchanged very few words, both being nervous, something unusual for Venus. However when Eric gave the queen the thing he had been searching for for years, the rainbow flower everything changed. A change to what was the norm for her, instead of taking Eric straight to her bed she decided to dine with him at night while he told her stories of his adventures he went on to get the flowers. The level of commitment to make things work with Eric was far greater than any before, she waited four weeks to have her first kiss with him. Venus also made an oath to herself to keep loyal only to

    him and would marry him a year later, and 39 weeks after that, 372 A.M. she gave birth to her only daughter and heir Princess Helia Butterfly at the age of 39, the oldest queen to give birth thus far. Venus had a happy and passionate marriage. She passed the crown down to her daughter 390 A.M. at the age of 57 and after 35 years as queen.

### Post Queenhood

Eric died 391 A.M.. Venus died two years later as a result of pneumonia. She was 60 but reports say she did not look over 40. The first queen of the dark ages, the third star queen, and the fairest woman in Mewni history. She was buried next to her grandmother Soupina Butterfly in the crypts of the Butterfly Castle.
