Eclipsa Butterfly

**Eclipsa Butterfly**, also known as **Eclipsa the Queen of Darkness**, is the 29th and 38th Queen of the Kingdom of Mewni. Once presumed to be Star Butterfly's sixth great-grandmother and Moon Butterfly's fifth great-grandmother, she is later revealed to be the mother of Meteora Butterfly. She is first alluded to in "Into the Wand".

Eclipsa unofficially regains her status as Queen of Mewni after Star gives the wand back to her in "Conquer", and she officially regains her status in "Cornonation", up until she returns the wand to Moon in "Pizza Party".

## Why She Rocks

1. She sympathized with innocent monsters. Not all monsters are bad, just like people. Even if her people hated monsters, she went against it and married one.
2. She married someone she truly loved, despite her mother’s will, that forced her into marrying King Shastacan. Instead, she married the monster king, Globgor, as she had truly loved him, unlike her ex-husband.
3. She wanted Mewmans and Monsters to coexist, so she married the prince of darkness, out of love and in order for Monsters and Mewmans to be at peace.
	* She abandoned her kingdom for this, because she was already married to a Mewman King, and they did not want a monster to rule over Mewni, becoming known as Eclipsa, the Queen of Darkness.
4. She practiced Dark Magic in order to learn about it. She didn’t just want to use Dark Magic, but meddled in the Dark Arts in order to be knowledgeable on it.
5. She cares about those she loves. When she is freed and gains the Royal Magic Wand, she looks for her husband to attempt to free him. She tries to symphathize with Meteora, to find another solution without fighting her daughter, but fails when Moon tries to kill her daughter, but she stops her from doing it. Even when Star is in danger from Meteora, she tries to kill her own daughter in order to save Star, but it thankfully only reverted Meteora to an infant. She also protected her husband, Globgor from a Solarian Warrior even if it almost killed her. She even went as far as to use the Total Annhialation Spell, a spell that eventually destroys everything and anything at its path, as a last ditch attempt to save Star from a Solarian Warrior.
6. She learns to care about others. Although at first, she only does things for herself and only cares for her husband, and daughter, Eclipsa learns to put her kingdom first when she becomes queen again, and learns that she has to care about what others feel. She learns to do what’s best for her kingdom, deciding to keep her husband crystallized for their safety. She even tries to learn spells that would not only help herself, but also others.
7. She has a strong sense of self-pride. She would rather be hated for who she is, than liked for who she pretends to be. Even if the entire kingdom would judge her, and even attempted to poison her for her to be petrified, she gave her people a chance to trust her, and chose not to lock them up.
8. Despite being unfairly judged by her entire kingdom, she still tries her best to earn their trust, even after hundreds of years of imprisonment. She even decided to keep her husband crystallized, until her people were ready for him. No matter how many times she fails to gain their trust, she still tries her best for the kingdom.
9. She forgave the people that wronged her. She even forgave her mother, who was genocidal toward monsters, when she saw her spirit embracing Meteora, during the finale.
10. She protects her kingdom. During the Solarian Warrior attack, she puts her people first and protects them from the Solarian Warrior that tried to attack the castle.
11. She was the only queen not to question Glossaryck’s teaching methods. She also had an affinity for magic, rivalled only by Star’s, and takes an academic approach towards magic.
12. She gives helpful advice. When Star asks her for advice regarding Marco, she helps Star get to a decision on what she needs to do. And when Star is maturing her Mewberty form, she tells her to bravely go after what she seeks.

## Bad Qualities

1. She tries everything she can to get what she wants, even if it goes against others’ wishes, as when she used the Body-Swap Spell to enter Rhombulus’ body unknowingly in order to free her husband, and when she entered Star’s mind in order to find a piece of the Book of Spells, to find the Crystal Pulverizing Spell.
2. She abandoned her kingdom so she can run off with Globgor, despite having good intentions, she still left her people.
3. Her spells can cause harm to others, or would only benefit herself, such as the spying spell, and many other dark spells that would cause eternal dreamless sleep, among other effects.
4. Although she had no other choice, and did it to protect Star, she used a spell her mother created, which she vowed to never use, and it was an extremely powerful one that would slowly eat away at everything and anything at its path. She also attempted to use the Crystal Pulverizing Spell, whoch was her mother’s spell, to attempt to free her husband, Globgor.
