### Early Life

Soupina Florianne Butterfly later Soupina Vialaxia Florianne Butterfly was born 273 years after Mewnipendence to Queen Skywynne Butterfly and King Consort Filbric Flowers during the night, making her a night queen. She possessed pink hair and eyes inherited from her father as well as red crosses on her cheeks. As a child Soupina was a gentle girl, with an innocent world view with a peculiar personality. Whenever Soupina would do something silly or embarrassing she would give a blank face known as Soupina’s face. 277 years after Mewnipendence, Soupina's mother Skywynne got her a balloon from the kingdom's tournament, which she named baloo-balee. When the wind took it from her, Skywynne thought she would cry however all Soupina said was "baloo-balee baloo-balow i let you go, i let you go" common phrase among the royal family even to this day. Since she was a young child Soupina had always been a fan of soup. At 5 it was common to see the princess with the royal chefs. Her father Filbric, who was the royal chef before coming king, tried to teach her the secrets of food but the young princess was only interested in soup. She even learned the Mewni alphabet from alphabet soup. The princess’s behavior and attitude made many wonder if she was mentally fit to rule. Skywynne told everyone her daughter was just peculiar. Two minutes later she found Soupina talking to a tree in the garden. Soupina had a special relationship with Sir Hollow ``headless”, who had a cold temperament, serious, and violent royal guard, and his nickname was won by how he defeated his enemies. He however had a soft spot for the princess who he called little butterfly. 285 years after Mewnipendence Soupina had a relationship with Slate Stone, however she broke up with him when her mother informed her she was engaged to boy from House Waterson, Persian, a humble nice boy who she met when she was 12. Days before her 14 birthday she was mocked by people saying her wand would take the form of a spoon. However the wand to a peculiar form which confused everyone but the princess. Soupina’s magic was only limited at the beginning to spells creating soup, the only difference was their types. Things started to change when Skywynne became pregnant. Soupina was happy at first until she overheard some servants calling her strange. It was the first time of many she heard that nickname. Persian tried to convince her to try new spells. Glossaryck thought it was the perfect time to teach her to dip down, or use more powerful magic. Soupina didn’t understand what Glossaryck meant so he used the soup analogy, which there was a large bowl of soup, where the wand was the spoon, and the spoon only was able to get not as tasty pieces of food at the top but to get the better pieces you had to go to the bottom of the soup. However Soupina took everything he said literally, and undressed and jumped into a large bowl of soup. Seconds later her mother was telling some nobles that her daughter was normal, she opened the door and saw her daughter in a bowl of soup unclothed. Soupina tried to explain herself but her mother just told her to bathe and closed the door. Minutes later she would hear nobles saying she was unprepared and unable and her wand was as strange as her. All of this resulted in a mood and a behavior change for the princess. She didn’t smile as much and barely left the room, and her soup characteristics were not seen in public anymore. When it was announced, she feared her mother would replace her with the daughter, as Dirhhennia Butterfly had been by Crescenta Butterfly. When her sister was born she couldn’t be mad at her sister which made her feel even worse inside. 289 years after Mewnipendence, during the spring 600 commoners died from a mysterious illness. When the investigation turned up nothing and the epidemic spread even more and the gates of the castle were closed and access to the kingdom was restricted. Soupina’s life had a major turnaround, when she witnessed a servant's daughter fainted in her presence, convulsing, sweating and had red spots on her body. Alone and in despair, Soupina did all she knew and summoned a bowl of soup. She gave the girl the soup and waited, and soon after her red spots disappeared, and she woke up in shock. When aid came Soupina reported what had happened but reported the soups. When the girl had miraculously healed 3 days later, Soupina was in doubt if her soup had healed the girl.  This sparked the idea that Soupina would sneak out to heal the peasants. The first attempt was stopped by Sir Hollow before the princess even left her room. Soupina and her lady in waiting had planned everything out loud with her door open. Sir Hollow reminded her that her mother would notice her absence. The solution came when her mother asked about Persian, she had the idea to say she was going to spend the day with her fiance when in fact she was going to the town. Soupina reported her shock the first time she went to the village “the dirt, the stench, the innumerous foci of diseases and pests.” She also reported she healed 20 peasants with her magic soup. When she returned to the castle Skywynne commented on her dress being dirty, which Soupina passed off as a joke from Persian. At the end of the first week Soupina went to the house to treat a terminally ill boy on the request of his mother. There she found a commoner boy taking care of the sick boy. After a brief non-serious discussion with the boy who she found out was named Osmond he apologized immediately after he realized who she was. Although totally respectful of the princess’s intentions Osmond didn’t fail to mention her unpreparedness to take care of the sick. Sir Hollow offered to cut off his head, but Soupina denied and would follow his advice. The following day she would leave the castle in a simple dress, gloves, and boots and when she

    returned she would bathe and have her clothes deep washed. Her and Osmonds paths would cross almost daily which gradually led to a friendship. However these escapes to the village would only last two weeks, when she arrived back at the castle when she found her mother sitting on her bed. Her mother asked her how many commoners she healed today, she asked her mother how she knew. “Rumors of a pink haired girl who healed people with magic soup, it was kinda obvious.” In addition to Persan's mother having no knowledge of Soupina’s visits with her sons. Initially proud of her daughter's intentions, she scolded her for putting the entire castle at risk. However Soupia told her mother she would continue to go to the village, it wasn’t the first time in her life she disobeyed her mother. When Perisan met Osmond for the first time after hearing rumors that the princess was having a thing with the peasant. However there was no enmity between the two boys. Osmond came across the trio of Soupina, Persian and Sir Hollow. Osmond left only when he heard the sounds of Soupina and Persian kissing and was distruebd by Sir Hollows indifference. 290 years after Mewnipendence, after the cases of the red death a name given by Soupina decreased during the fall and winter of the last year, they were expected to increase in the spring and summer and the disease got more resistant to her soups which now only served to diminish the suffering of the sick. Osmand suggested she use a method of symptomatic treatment which proved to be the correct course, she healed fewer people than before but cured them definitely. One day after returning to the castle, the mood was grim. Soupina discovered that her mother and sister had both contracted the red death and were being kept in isolation on the request of the Royal healer. Soupina took care of her mother and sister and with her soup diet they were healed in 3 days. Still in bed but in gratitude Skywynne presented her daughter with the cloak used by her great grandmother Asteria the Mother of Stars when she went out to rescue the kidnapped children. However Soupina’s happiness only lasted less than a day when she received news that Persian was sick and died later than night. She fled crying from Waterson Port escaping the sight of Osmond and Sir Hollow. The princess wandered through the dark and unfriendly streets, when she was surprised by two strangers who tried to assault her. She tried to use her magic to defend herself but her wand was knocked from her hand. The worst didn’t happen thanks to Osmond and Sir Hollow, who arrived doing the thing he knew best, cutting heads. The incident didn’t cause any serious injury and left her to be more cautious and careful, and caused her to practice more in the defense magic of her grandmother Etheria the Knight. Her friendship with Osmond increased because of the incident. One night Soupina decided to go out with Osmond to what he called the plebian fun program. Which was very different from events which Soupina attended. It was held outside around a bonfire not a ballroom, it was commoners instead of nobles, they wore simple clothing instead of pompous things, and they danced festively instead of waltzes.  It was also the first time Soupina met Osmonds' family, his mother and six siblings. After a night of them dancing, which held the first time there was any romantic tension between them, which was even perceptible by the crowd. Soupina tried not to think of Osmond out of guilt for her fiancé just dying, though seeing him everyday did not help and rumors started to spread of the princess seeing a commoner in such a way that would reach the ears of her parents, who were already looking for a new replacement fiancé, which she didn’t want. Soupina turned

   her focus on the investigation on the epidemic at hand when the number of cases reduced in the fall. Upon investigating Soupina discovered that it was most likely caused by a plague that originated in the cornfields, which would make sense. The red death was more prominent in the spring and summer when more corn was being harvested, and in the fall and winter it was lower due to there not being as many crops harvested. The winter 290 to 291 years after Mewnipendence Soupina focused more on her magic making her soups more powerful. She discovered a teenage girl who had a severe arm infection caused by her trying to summon a demon with a blood sacrifice. Not knowing what to do she simply shouted arm return to normal in High Mewnian or reternio Armio Normalrino, which worked. It was then that Soupina discovered spells are more powerful in High Mewnian. As Soupina had predicted the red death became worse in the fall. One night she worked to help the sick so late she heard the town's bells ring at midnight. Without the presence of Sir Hollow and the family's dimensional scissors which she forgot at the castle, Osmond offered to accompany her back to the castle but a storm forced them to take shelter in a small barn. In that barn Soupina willingly lost her right to be called a maiden. The two teenagers awoke to find Sir Hollow standing over them. He terrified Osmond when he said he’d cut off everything that touched the princess. Soupina assured him nothing would happen and they began a loving relationship from that point on. At the end of the summer she realized she wouldn’t be able to eradicate the red death before the fall. Looking for ideas, Glossaryck made a playful comment about it would all go away if she made it rain soup. Soupina took this literally and summoned a giant cauldron into the castle garden and filled it with magic soup. For the next part of her plan she would need to dip down, which she had not been able to do before. She was only able to after Sir Hollow brought news Osmond had been infected. Repeating what had embarrassed her mother years ago she jumped into the bowl of soup. Soupina then emerged out of it in her Butterfly Form, being the youngest up to this point to go into their butterfly form. She used her now more powerful magic to raise the magic soup from the cauldron to the clouds. Minutes after Soupina returned to normal the soup began to fall from the cloud, which became known as The Soup Rain of 291, which officially eradicated the red death. Proud of her daughter for doing something Skywynne herself could not even do, she allowed her daughter anything she wanted. Soupina asked for the blessing of marriage and stated it was a surprise as to whom. The surprise came a week later when the queen and king met Osmond for the first time. The boy made a few gaffs and messed up the cutlery but when they saw how happy their daughter was they accepted the boy. In a private conversation the queen warned Soupina about the judgments and repaves, and Soupina only responded that she’d be living up to her title. To prepare him for the role of king, Skywynne decided to instruct him herself. After the controversial announcement of the engagement, Skywynne authorized the creation of a new noble house, known as House Cross who administered health, which was named as such by Osmond in honor of Soupina and the house was headed by Osmond.

### Reign as Queen

294 years after Mewnipendence came the day of the wedding and coronation. It was the most humble ceremony in the kingdom's history, this lack of luxury even went to her dress. She extra food was even donated to people in need, she was 21. One of Soupina’s first acts was to improve the kingdom’s health as well as replacing the Royal Healer with the Royal Doctor. 297 years after Mewnipendence Soupina was invited to join the Magical High Commission. Soupina’s reign was marked by improvements to the quality of the citizens' life, despite having the population reduced to half due to the red death. Her administration is also responsible for the life expectancy to increase. She also helped neighboring kingdoms that faced epidemics. 300 years after Mewnipendence after returning back from one of these helpings she encountered a girl in the Forest of Unlikely Spiderbites, who was poisoned by a spider bite. The girl would die if Soupina did not do something, she summoned a spell which the little snake on the wand slithered off and sucked the venom out of the girl, this spell is called “Golden Serpent poison drain. 304 years after Mewnipendence Soupina gave birth to her first daughter Galaxia Butterfly, a girl with albinism, which many suspected was caused by Osmonds plebeian gene. That year would end with an even bigger scandal. Soupina’s sister Nebula announced she was pregnant, but she confided in Soupina she didn’t know who the father was. Suspicions fell on her two best friends  Prince Laurel and Gary Loveberry. However a year later she gave birth to twins, one with Laurel’s and one with Loveberry’s traits. It was the first and only recorded time in the family where a person gave birth to twins with two different parents. To soften the situation and clear the name of the butterfly family, Soupina and King Laurel legitimized the children. The children were taken up by their fathers' families. 307 years after Menwipendence Soupina gave birth to her second daughter Pularisa, a girl with pink hair and brown eyes and red exclamation point on her cheeks. 317 years after Mewnipendence the Queen Mother Skywynne passed away. No matter how hard she tried to smile she was never the same. It was evident that her heart was never the same. Her health was affected by this and she abdicated to her daughter Galaxia who was only 17 years old, Soupina was 48 and after 27 years as queen.

### Post Queenhood
