Febe Butterfly was the 8th Queen of the Butterfly Queendom. She is best known for being the patron saint of romance and being the namesake of St. Febe's Day. She also is known for initiating Butterfly relations with the Lucitor Kingdom. She was cursed with the Curse of the Blood Moon binding her to her husband.

### Early Life

Febe Vermilliana Butterfly was born 148 years after Mewnipendence, to Queen Crescenta Butterfly and King Consort Hawk Redbird, during a supermoon night, where Mewni's largest moon was full and closer to the planet, thus making her a night queen. She possessed red hair and eyes, inherited from her father, she also had red crescent moons pointed up on her cheeks. During her youth she possessed much of her mother’s intelligence but none of her electric and impatient personality. During her childhood she developed a strong taste for the color red, earning her the nickname the “red one” before she even became queen. She also developed a liking towards romantic stories. Febe was 4 when her grandmother Polaria Butterfly died and did not have many memories of her. 155 years after Mewnipendence her mother investigated the illegitimate children of her father and began a relationship with her cousin Acorn. Febe was 7 at the time and was kept oblivious to this. When her mother was going to see her lover or Febe’s 5th cousin, she was left with her uncle Alder and her Aunt Dirhhennia Butterfly, whom she saw as a second mother. 156 years after Mewnipendence she won her sister Waxinne. Febe was very happy with the birth of her sister. 158 years after Mewnipendence, at the age 10, Febe’s dreamy romantic side was already prevalent. During a dinner with her parents and her aunt and uncle she innocently asked her parents how they met. A silence caused by embarrassment followed. After that passed

 they told the story, but in an abstract and totally absurd way. Crescenta said “I'm not to blame if I was prettier than the ex-fiance.” Dirhhennia replied “The ex fiance had stopped having headaches.” Glossaryck noted it was a fun dinner. 158 years to 160 years after Mewnipendence Febe began watching the knights and their squires. As the future queen she often received flattery. One day 160 years after Mewnipendence the squired went for training in the Forest of Certain Death. Febe decided to follow them. However she was stopped by a 12 year old squire with green hair and eyes named Rowan Forest. Febe tried to use her royal influence to allow him to let her past “as your future queen, it is your duty to obey me.” However Rowan replied “as my future queen, it is my duty to protect you.” Febe didn’t insist and promptly retired to the castle. Rowan volunteered to accompany the princess back. On the way back Febe was shocked to discover his humble side. From that day on she stopped going to see the squires and went to see her newest friend. He even taught her how to shoot with a bow and arrow. 162 years after Mewnipendence she turned 14 and inherited the Royal Magic Wand and also a necklace pendant from Rowan. Her love and fascination in the color red influenced her spells. In all of her spells contained a red associated word. One of her most famous spells was “super strawberry shake quake.” 165 years after Mewnpendence Rowan decided to ask for Febe’s hand in marriage. Knowing Febe’s dreamy romantic side, he awaited the for the best moment, which came in the form of the grand tournament of the Butterfly Queendom, which was brought to the Queendom by her great-great-great-great grandmother Queen Solena Butterfly. This tournament brought knights from 50 kingdom's. In addition to the prize for his home and the glory brought, the winner of the tournament also received a wreath typically given to the spouse or fiance of them. Rowan won the tournament and went up to the queen's stand and placed the wreath on Febe’s lap. This brought tears to her mother Queen Crescenta’s and her Aunt Lady Dirhennnia’s eyes. As well as thunderous  applause that was said could be heard anywhere in the Butterfly Queendom. 168 years after Mewnipendence Febe and her fiance Rowan traveled to the Silvan Kingdom at the request of the prince himself, a friend who they had made at the tournament.  Upon returning she revised word of her father King Consort Hawk Redbird’s death. This left Febe’s and Rowan’s engagement sideways. The princess spent most of her time caring for her mother, whose health had been fragile ever since the birth of Waxinne and Hawk’s death made it worse. Two years later Queen Crescenta died.

### Reign as Queen

After the Royal two weeks mourning. Febe was crowned queen, at the age of 22, being the first queen to be crowned unmarried. in the throne room, which was an oddity because all the queens coronations were held in the Great Celestum of the Butterfly Queendom. However Febe didn’t want to go there because of it being the place where her mother’s funeral was held. TheMewnistry noticed the queen was unmarried and tried to get her to rush her marriage. Rowan however told his fiance to take her time “it's not a ceremony that tells us whether or not we are bonded, but it's how we feel about each other.”  171 year after Mewnipendence Febe’s sister died at the age of 14 due to a disease.

     The marriage only occurred a year later, after she overcame the death of her mother , father, and sister and adjusted to the positionof queen. A year after, Febe and Rowan went horseback riding with an entourage, where they discovered the body of a young girl in the corn fields of the Queendom. The girl's father and brother said she was attacked  by a terrible creature. “As big as a calf, broad chest, sturdy neck, straight ears, greyhound muzzle, black mouth with two long lateral sharp teeth, a fringed tail, and a white list that goes from the top of its head to the end of its tail. It moved with great leaps.” After this first case, many more followed, always dealing with young people, who had been brutally killed, beheadings and disembowelment were common. Numerous hunts had been made to kill the animal, often organized by other nobles of the Queendom, such as Lord Firefly or Lord flowers, and even King Rowan himself. 175 years after Mewnipendence the queen offered a reward of 6 gold suns to whoever captured or killed the beast. However Febe would be the one to capture the beast, or as it turned out two beasts, three months later by using her “raspberry ribbon lasso” spell. However the beast was accompanied by an entourage of Demons. This group was led by King Lucitor, ruler of the Lucitor Kingdom. The beasts were actually his daughters'

     pets that had fled. Despite Febe’s and Rowan’s kind heart they were also righteous. The beasts had invaded the Queendom's land, decimated their crops, and killed their citizens. They couldn't just free the animals, it would be an insult to all the affected families. Queen Butterfly and King Luctior came to an agreement, one would be taken back to the Queendom and killed and the other returned to the underworld. As a sign of good faith, King Lucitor invited the Queen and King to the blood moon ball, an event that only happened every 667 years. After this ball the next would be attended by Febe’s great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great granddaughter. Febe researched the ball in the Firefly library. Despite the sparse sources that were  difficult to understand. From what could be understood was the “the blood moon choses two lucky souls to dance under its light, bonding them for eternity.” Febe saw it as romantic and magical, Rowan however found it to be superstition and said “my soul is already bonded to an even more beautiful red moon.” The ball took place two weeks later. The event marked the first time anyone from the Butterfly Queendom had visited the Underworld. Despite some strange traditions, like the unicorn blood bath, and the place being dark and hot, she found the experience rewarding. The height of the night was the Blood moon waltz, where Febe and Rowan only intended to be spectators, until the crimson light fell on them. Febe ignored the nausea she felt all night and danced with her king. Febe thought this night was one of her happiest, however it ended tragically. Inside of going straight back to the castle, Rowan and Febe stopped the carriage right on a bridge that had a perfect view of the moon, which was tinted red. They did this to catch a glimpse of the very rare event. “Ours souls have been bound” Rowan said before kissing her, then Febe felt a heavy impact on her chest. As she stepped back, she saw an arrow in Rowan’s chest, and it didn’t kill her just because of the necklace Rowan gave her. Rowan fell lifeless at her feet. She cried as the knight plunged into the forest after the killer. The killer most likely intended to kill Febe. In the meantime Febe lifted her eyes and wand to the blood moon, and recited a spell in High Mewnian, the language of the ancient magic users of the Ancient Mewnian Empire. To this day what Febe would have done. The most accepted version of events is that she blamed the moon and cast a protective spell on it so others would suffer the same cruel fate she did. Whether that’s the truth or not, the truth is that Febe never commented on the subject all she said was the nebulous information in the books made sense now. Still on the bridge the knights captured five mud dwellers, a group of monsters that resided by a river in the Forest of Certain Death. None of the Mud Dwellers would admit who shot the fatal arrow and overcome by resentment and impatience she had them all executed on the spot. In the castle so overcome by grief she even contemplated suicide, so much so that she even wrote a note naming her aunt Lady Dirhhennia as her successor. After another wave of nausea, she discovered her pregnancy, with her mother's spell. Febe’s happiness was so much she gave up killing herself but also felt guilt for killing the Mud Dwellers. Unfortunately the damage was already done and the effects would come in the weeks to follow. In retaliation to the Mud Dwellers proceeded to attack and plunder the rural region on the outskirts of the Queendom. Due to her pregnancy, Febe left the Queendom's security to Lord Redbird. 176 years after Mewnipendence, during the Harvest Moon Festival, the Queendom's celebration to the start of fall Febe gave birth to her heir, Festivia Butterfly, a girl with green eyes inherited from her father and purple hair which came from her paternal grandfather, a member of House Firefly. Febe remained absent from the battlefield, focusing on her daughter's upbringing.  However everything changed 182 years after Mewnipendence. The conflict had been escalating quickly. The Mud Dwellers moved from simple and small plunder to devastating attacks to the Queendom. The Mud Dwellers took the Forest Watchtower, holding the forest family and her aunt Dirhhennia hostage. The event which came to be known as the Watchtower challenge was put to an end when Sir Lord Stone also known as the golden knight, secretly entered the Watchtower, freed the hostages and opened the gates and allowed the Butterfly Army to retake the Watchtower. However, the hostilities didn’t cease after that, initiating the First Mud Dweller Rebellion. Fearing for her daughter's safety, Febe sent her to the Silvan Kingdom accompanied by Lord Stone’s son Quartz Stone.  Under the guardianship and protection of King Silvan, the prince Febe and Rowan met at a tournament all those years ago. The First Mud Dweller Rebellion lasted six years, until it ended 188 years after Mewnipendence. It was the first war since Mewnipendence after 188 years of peace. It was marked by the absence of Queen Butterfly on the battlefield. Much is due to the fact of the unpreparedness and incapacity to conduct a war, unlike her great-great-great-great-great grandmother Queen Urania Butterfly. Festivia returned to the Butterfly Queendom, with eyes no longer green but purple. 190 years as tradition dictates, Febe passed the wand to her daughter. 197 years after Mewnipendence she would pass the crown to her daughter at the age of 49 and after 27 years as queen.
