*"What was found by the Peasant*

*When asked for help from the starry sky,*

*the power to protect her people*

*that started House Butterfly"*

Urania Butterfly was the 1st Queen of the Butterfly Queendom. Originally just a simple peasant, she found a crystal that possessed magical properties. She used this crystal to defend her people during Mewnipendence and became the Queen.

### Early Life

19 years before the Mewnipendence began, Urania was born to a peasant named Darlene. A simple girl of a family of weavers, she was taught to weave by her grandmother at the age of 10. Urania was a very independent girl

    who spent most of her nights on the roof of her house staring at the stars and the moon embroidering. She would also go to her roof when she was sad, upon which her mother Darlene would come up to comfort her. On her 14 birthday Urania embroidered a kitten with fairy wings as a gift to herself. She argued with her grandmother who called her embroidery “A worthless waste of time and line.” upon hearing this Urania fled into the nearby forest. She went to a place by a river that was special to her where she fell asleep cradling her kitten embroidery falling asleep with tears in her eyes. She woke up at night and returned to the village where she found it under attack by monsters which ended with the fire of 5 b.m (before Mewnipendence). In this attack by monsters she lost her mother and grandmother. Once again she fled into the forest carrying her embroidery. She fell to her knees when her legs had no more strength to carry her. She looked up to the sky and pleaded to the goddess to help her. Just then a shooting star cut there the sky and crashed down into the ground a few yards from where she stood. In the depths of the crater she found a meteorite which contained a 'shimmering' and glowing Butterfly Crystal. When she touched it and pulled it out of the meteorite, two jets of magic swirled around her arms where it hit her cheeks and gave her the butterfly cheekmarks. On that same night she faced three monsters, she was still holding the butterfly crystal which shot jets of magic out of it. Not meaning to do this the magic bounced rapidly around the area. One of the magic bolts struck her kitten embroidery which came to life and saved Urania. Urania then fainted from shock and weariness from using magic for the first time in her life. The next morning when she awoke she found a floating little man. With a large white beard and a pinkish purple crystal embedded in his head. Against what one might think Urania didn’t freak out. The little man named Glossaryck and explained “You asked for help and *she* came and my job is to help you reach your full potential.” Glossaryck explained he was created

    by the universe as an embodiment of magical knowledge. her desire to “protect her people” was then ignited in her. First she needed to find a way to weld the crystal without it cutting or burning her hand. In the ruin of her house she found a large knitting needle which she attached the crystal to the top of and tied it with a red ribbon. She also found her grandmother's old account book which even to this day is used as the royal family's spell book She was a very dedicated student with learning magic studying day and night. Her spells are very simple, ranging from simple blasts of energy to levitation and object transfer spells. She used the magic golden ink that came out of the crystal to record these spells. After days of training with Glossaryck she was ready to protect her people.

With Urania’s new found passion to protect her people from the monsters and her new magical abilities and magical allies named Glossaryck and her kitten embroidery she named Baby. She defended her home village with a small group between the years of 5 b.m and 2 b.m. It was during this time that the Mewmans of her village began to call her “Queen Butterfly '' in obvious reference to the marks on her cheeks. As word began to spread through the monster kingdoms of a girl with magical powers and whom her people called queen monsters began to demand action from the monster king. Though the monster king still believed a peaceful solution could be reached. Because of this more and more monsters began to directly disobey their king and attacked the village more and more. It was because of this that during the years of 4 b.m and 3 b.m that a large wooden and earthen structure was built on the slopes of the great Mewni rock. This structure was the village's defense headquarters and later the headquarters for the Mewman forces during Mewnipendence. Even more the Mewmans were growing in population and expanding their borders further and further into monster territory. The monsters saw this expansion and construction of Urania's Fort as an act of war and now demanded action from their king or they would kill him and declare war themselves. Still believing a peaceful solution could be reached he decided to go to the village and strike an agreement with the so called queen. She approached the village with a 300 monster entourage but despite his peaceful attention the guards of the village saw 300 monsters approaching and sounded the alarm. The entourage was met with a volley of arrows from above and the monster king was fatally stuck. This was accepted start of Mewnipendence.

### Life During Mewnipendence

A common misconception is that Mewnipendence happened in one day, but in fact it was five years of conflict with victories and defeats on both sides. Two notorious monster victories are the Fire of The Corn Fields and the Siege of The Monster Temple and two notorious Mewman victories were the Battle of White Peak and the Taking and Resumption of Urania's Fort. However as the war raged on the Mewmans were losing due to their scarce supplies and training and their physical and numerical disadvantages. A few days before Urania's 19 birthday a battalion of 10,000 monsters marched towards the Mewmans villages. The monster council knew the Mewmans were at their weakest. They were going to make this the last battle to end Mewnipendence. Only separated by a set of palisades the Mewmans were able to take out a good amount of monsters but it was not enough. Urania knew the defense would not hold. When the defense broke the Mewmans would die. Filled with fear and desperation Urania had an idea come to her mind. Her generals long suggested that she use her magic to improve the soldiers but she never had enough confidence in her ability to do it. It wasn’t like levitating objects or shooting magical bursts, it was dealing with lives, lives she could notafford to lose if she erred the spell. If she tried the spell and failed they would lose. She would not do it until Glossaryck told her the one thing she needed to hear “Don’t try just do it” and she did. The simple peasants weak and in small numbers turned into large knights with shining armor and polished blades of steel. The monsters were now easily beaten and started retreating into their home, the forest. The ones that could not outrun the Mewmans were easily cut down, some even crushed by the armor. The monsters waved the white flag and surrendered and retreated. Without command or instruction the knights set fire to the forest. A gigantic fire spread quickly turning trees to ash and burning many families alive and for the ones who survived they were left without anything. The images of the flames and smoke paralyzed Urania. It brought back the trauma of the fire of her home and the deaths of her mother and grandmother. “Stop it” she yelled, this was a command and the knights ceased their onslaught. The fire burned for hours and what was now left was an inhospitable forest, known now as the Forest of Certain Death. This was known as the Great Monster Massacre. The Mewmans had won.

### Reign as Queen

The people carried Uraina to the town Celestum where she was crowned Queen Butterfly, lady protector of the Butterfly Queendom. As a show of her humble heritage she decided to use her fort as her castle and the seat of the new Butterfly Queendom. She named her generals as the lords and ladies of the Mewnistry, to serve as her advisors and administer certain aspects of the Queendom. Her husband, Falcon Redbird

     was given lordship over House Redbird and served as the Mewnister of Security, Blossom the Flowerer was given lordship over House Flowers and served as the Mewnister of Justice, Frank of the Cornfields was given lordship over House Fields and served as the Mewnister of Agriculture, Crystal Stoneheart was given lordship over House Stone and served as Mewnister of Treasure, Thalassa Watersdoom was given lordship over House Waterson and served as the Mewnister of Navy, and Hawthorn the Forester was given lordship over House Forest and served as the Mewnister of Borders. In 4 A.M. Urania

gave birth to the first princess of the Queendom, Solena Butterfly who had bunnies on her cheeks, and six years after that gave birth to her second daughter Jokinna Butterfly who had question marks on her cheeks. Although monster attacks on the Queendom were extremely rare and the Queendom had its own knights, Urania didn’t stop defending her home. When Solena turned 14 her mother made the decision to pass the Royal Magic Wand to her due to that being the age she found the crystal. Before she passed down the wand she enchanted it with a spell that would transform the wand to match each the holder's personality. In 22 A.M. at the age of twelve Jokinna fell to her death from the window in her room.

### Post Queenhood

At the age of 43 and after 24 years as queen, Urania passed the crown to her daughter though she continued to help in court. As her last act she named Glossaryck as Sir Glossaryck of terms as a thank you gift for him being there all those years for her. At the age of 62 Urania died of natural causes. The citizens wept over their first queen, and their first heroine. She was buried in the crypts of Butterfly Castle.
