Starlily, My Magical Unicorn

Starlily, My Magical Unicorn was released in the FurReal Friends line of toys in 2015. It is the second toy released in the "Fantasy Collection", which includes Torch, My Blazin' Dragon and Skyheart, My Walkin' Dragon. This toy features plain white fur, glittering aquamarine eyes with glittering purple eyeliner and purple eyelashes, a multi-colored mane (blonde, purple and pink), a blonde tail, light-blue hooves accented with glitter, and a transparent horn with light-up features. This toy is roughly the size of a typical house cat.

## Features

Starlily has a total of 7 sensors throughout her body, including:

* Three touch sensors in her head; her two cheeks and her lower jaw
* A touch sensor on her horn
* A microphone in her torso
* A lever in her jaw
* A button in her back

Stroking Starlily's cheeks and jaw will cause her to react in a multitude of ways, including sighing, giggling, and even making sounds of frustration if you keep petting her long enough. Her horn lights up in multiple LED colors, which act as a sort of indicator for her mood. For example, when the horn is bright pink, that means she's happy. When it turns green, that means Starlily is hungry, and you have to feed her with the included strawberry-shaped treat called a "Sugarberry." She makes crunching and nibbling sounds when her jaw is depressed. Pressing the button located on Starlily's back will cause her to react with tickled giggling, frustrated grunts, or even clopping noises accompanied by a simulated trotting motion with her neck and animated leg.

Starlily also has a built-in microphone, used to detect voices in close proximity. When a voice is "heard", Starlily will respond with various attentive sounds, with "babble-back technology", as described by Hasbro. If there is music playing, Starlily will start to dance and/or sing a few little tunes of her own including a short snippet of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."

After about a minute of inactivity, Starlily will start to give tired sighs as her horn turns dark blue, and eventually she will make snoring sounds before going into sleep mode.

She also features poseable front and back legs, which can be positioned to have her sit, stand straight, or lay down.

## Mobile App

Shortly after Starlily became available in stores, a mobile app was released for Apple and Android devices, which Starlily can interact with via sonar. This mobile app takes place in the "FurEver Forest", Starlily's homeplace, and it contains four different areas:

**Sugarberry Orchards**: A feeding minigame. The objective is to pick various sugarberries from a bush and shoot them up to Starlily by flicking them to the top-right corner of the screen. Starlily responds with eating sounds, as if one were to feed her with the included plastic sugarberry.

* **Crystal Caverns**: A music minigame much in the ways of "Simon Says." The objective is to touch the colored crystals in the order of which they illuminate, creating a musical tune, which Starlily promptly sings along to.
* **Rainbow Falls**: A "bathing" minigame. The objective of this is simply to play around in the virtual water and to get Starlily "clean" by spraying the water in her direction. She responds with giddy and playful sounds. The stream of water can be changed by turning the spout to the left or right.
* **The Wishing Tree**: A central hub for all of the minigames, and a decorating center. Here, the player can decorate the ever-growing tree with various knick knacks collected by playing the minigames. The more the player plays, the more objects they collect, the more the Wishing Tree grows.

## Voice

Starliy, My Magical Unicorn features the voice of Lisa Biggs, who has lent her voice for other FurReal Friends toys released both before and after Starlily including Cuddles, My Giggly Monkey; Daisy, My Plays-With-Me Kitty; and Torch, My Blazin' Dragon.

## MLP Variation

In 2017, to coincide with the release of *My Little Pony: The Movie,* Starlily's mechanics were reused for a new toy of the character Twilight Sparkle, named My Magical Princess Twilight Sparkle. This new toy was designed with Twilight's cues, with an entirely new head sculpt and eyes, a purple and pink mane and tail, purple felt fur, yellow hooves meant to look like Twilight's princess shoes, a removable yellow tiara with purple gems, felt wings, a transparent purple horn, and an embroidered cutie mark on the toy's right flank. Instead of featuring the cartoonish pony voices of Lisa Biggs, this toy features full voice lines acted out by a soundalike of Tara Strong.

### Features

My Magical Princess Twilight Sparkle, being structurally identical to Starlily, features the same touch and sound sensors as her original counterpart, minus the lever in her mouth, as there is no accessory included to feed her with. Unlike Starlily, Princess Twilight features a button on her right hoof, which randomly activates one of four modes:

* **Song mode**: When in this mode, the toy will sing various songs from the 2017 *My Little Pony* movie including "One Small Thing," "We Got This Together," and the *My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic* theme song.
* **Spell mode**: When in this mode, this toy will simulate casting a spell by lighting up her horn and making magic sounds. Touching the toy's horn may also activate this mode.
* **Friendship advice**: When in the mode, the toy will give random bits of advice on friendship, such as being kind and tolerant of others and learning to share.
* **Story mode**: In this mode, the toy will give brief synopses of moments in the movie, such as the fight with the Storm King.
