Visas Lapkus

Stealth

**Visas Lapkus** is the daughter of Higgs and Haku. She's a Handmaiden, one of Star's personal servants, and is the youngest member of the Handmaidens.

## History

Visas was born to Higgs while she was still serving in the Queensguard as Captain of the First Division, and shortly after Haku was imprisoned in Tartarus, the impenetrable and (supposedly) inescapable prison fortress of the Underworld (not to be confused with Typhon's home dimension of the same name). Everyone assumed Higgs was going to retire early, but when she refused to Star allowed Higgs and her new daughter to live in Butterfly Castle for as long as Higgs would serve in the Queensguard. When Higgs retired, she was dubbed a Lady of Mewni and began to teach Visas how to fight. Since she was small for her age and not as strong as other kids (Astro) Visas picked up a staff to start her training.

When she was ten, Visas earned the opportunity to train with Queen Margo. She learned Margo's Earth martial art of karate and applied it to her skills with a bo staff. Once she came back from training in the Underworld for a year Visas tried joining the Queensguard to become a Knight's squire, but no one was willing to take her.

Star, knowing how much Visas trained and wanted to impress her mother, gave the young girl what she called a "rare and supe-tastic opportunity" to serve Star personally. That night, Visas was taken on a walk deep within Butterfly Castle and into a secret room filled with beds, scrolls, and a strange orb in the center. After enduring a trial of holding onto the orb and watching her worst fears play out in front of her, Visas was accepted into a small fold known as the Handmaidens, a group of personal protectors to the Queen of Mewni.

## Personality

Visas is the (self proclaimed) most determined girl in all of Mewni, always pushing herself no matter what she does from serving Queen Star to training to become Mewni's best warrior. Her curiosity tends to get her into trouble, often to the point of pestering others until they tell her what she wants to know. It's also led her to bend, or sometimes even break, the rules to satiate her curiosity.
Although she's not into traditional "girly" things like dresses and dolls, she has a soft spot for ballet and practices it in secret. She tries her best to avoid letting anyone find out about this, believing if word got out that she liked ballet it would ruin her reputation as a warrior.

## Relationships

### Higgs

Visas wants nothing more than to be like her mom and make her proud of her. They tend to butt heads whenever it came to Visas' father and her wanting to know more about him, but as she got older Visas grew to accept that she might never know that much about her missing father. Outsiders would say that Visas is terrible for never being straight forward with her mother; others would say Higgs was an awful mother for not being there for when her daughter was growing up. Both would be wrong since Visas grew up around the caring and understanding Butterfly family and Higgs knows the difficulties of working closely with Queen Star. Whenever the two spend time together they can be found training with one another, pigging out on ice cream sundaes, or reading together. Higgs found it tough, at first, to be a single mother but overcame the challenge as Visas grew up.

### Butterfly Family

Having grown up around the Butterfly Family and being one of Star's personal bodyguards, Visas is well acquainted with every member. It goes without saying she has undying loyalty to Star, and between the Butterfly siblings she's far more relaxed around Nia. Astro, however, has encountered her resolve to best him in sparring numerous times, often causing the two to spar until they both drop from exhaustion or simultaneous injury. He became her favorite person to spar out of anyone in all of Mewni.

### Sarasim the Brave

Sarasim was Visas' hero when she was a kid and and Visas wanted nothing more than to be just like her (one of Mewni's best warriors). She was absolutely devestated when she found out that Sarasim had "died," but was overjoyed to find out she hadn't died after all. Since they're both Handmaidens they've grown closer together and Visas has started seeing her as an aunt like how she sees Star.

"I'm going to beat you this time, Astro!" Visas said, spinning her staff above her head.

"Hmhm, think again, Visas." Astro chuckled and swung Ocean's Kiss in front of him, cutting the air.
