Sally Starlet

Sally as she appears in The Neighborhood Page

## Neighborhood Description

"According to an uncovered script, **Sally** had once been the brightest star in the sky, even more than those that surrounded her. However, upon looking down at a nearby celestial body from her spot, she knew there were still places she had yet to truly shine and fell from above as a shooting star. She has seemingly accomplished her aspired stardom, as there are only nine visible neighbors in Home, all of whom know her.

Sally was often focused on aspects of the theatre, such as acting or singing, which she felt she was more than well-versed at from being a star. Because of this, many of her segments often consisted of the entire ensemble of neighbors, with her playing the role of the director. The residents would act stories out on a stage, either for the viewer or other neighbors, that would be displayed in the show as story time segments. Many were focused on fairytales with an abnormal turn, either at Sally’s will or her expense. (Typically through Barnaby’s presence and desire to entertain.) In the storybook record, "Happy Haunting to Boo and Yours," Sally Starlet invented a Halloween-esque holiday called the Macabre Menagerie of Monstorous Mischief Making.

Concept artwork revealed that Sally was a live-hand puppet but required an additional hand to help move her head, as it was much larger than other puppets."

## Appearance

Sally was 3 feet tall , with a circular head ringed with yellow and orange spikes, meant to symbolize the sun's rays. She wore a long-sleeve shirt patterned with red, orange, yellow, green, and blue checks, and white cuffs. Over this, she wore a blue overall dress with three pockets. The pocket in the center was red, and had a rainbow on it, whereas the pocket on her left side was orange, and the one on her right was yellow. She had a flower on the overall button on her right side, and a cloud on the left-side button. She wore bell-bottomed blue pants, and red sneakers with yellow laces and a white toe box.

Sally had a red nose, blue eyelids, and four triangular eyelashes on each eye. Her mouth was red with a pink tongue.

## Personality

Stub*This article or section is a stub. You can help the Welcome Home Wiki by expanding it.*
She was really proud and confident, even when things didn't go as planned, declaring that failing something was her original intention despite actually not being the case. She was also really dramatic, expressive and theatrical with everything.

## Relationships

### Poppy Partridge

Poppy and Sally were pretty close to one another, and Sally seemed to help Poppy be more confident about herself.

Sally sometimes tried for Poppy to participate in her plays and lose her fears, and always trusted Poppy best when it came to baking and cooking, finding Poppy's baked goods the best in the town. Poppy felt honored and flustered of being chosen and complimented by Sally, and was delighted to help her in anything she could, even trying to be brave enough to participate in scary plays or dangerous activities despite her fears, trying to please and make Sally happy instead.

Sally would go to Poppy's house personally to propose her being the star of her plays or ask for help, in return, Poppy didn't mind putting on silly costumes for Sally's plays. They trusted one another and Poppy felt comfortable enough to let Sally grab mail for her if she was busy at the time, Sally didn't mind doing this for Poppy either.

Sally playfully teased Poppy and was satisfied and amused about successfully making Poppy blush. Sally also thought Poppy was capable of doing great things with enough motivation, and Poppy trusted Sally enough to accept going out of her comfort zone with Sally's help. While Poppy was usually timid around everyone, she seemed more embarrassed around Sally, stuttering more than usual, but at the same time enjoying being with her.

### Julie Joyful

Both of them had a lot of energy and enthusiasm, so they usually liked spending time together. Sometimes they even played by flinging each other around repeatedly,  something Frank refused to do with Julie despite her insistence. When Frank couldn't or didn't want to play a game with Julie, Sally was usually the perfect candidate for it instead. Both enjoyed playing together and Sally even invited Julie to act as the protagonist in her plays.

Even so, Julie is the most chaotic of the two, and Sally often found herself questioning Julie's ideas or got a bit irritated at her for changing the dialogue and story of her acts.

### Wally Darling

Although the two didn't interact much, it can be assumed that they had a pretty good relationship. Wally enjoyed watching her plays, but didn't like acting in them due to constantly forgetting his lines. Despite this, Sally usually brought Wally onto her plays due to his popularity and movements, as she thought that Wally could be a great leading role for her plays if it wasn't for him forgetting his lines and his voice being so monotonous.

Like Julie, Sally enjoyed calling Wally "Walliford" to sound sophisticated. Wally didn't mind helping Sally with her plays to find or create the perfect props, like a big cake. Sally sometimes nonchalantly picked Wally up and hold him in her arms as well.

### Eddie Dear

Sally acted a bit pompous, bossy and demanding with Eddie, asking him things like picking her up out of nowhere, encouraging him to held her higher and higher. Eddie, as the kind man he was, didn't protests about these strange requests and tried to help and give his time to all his friends, no matter how strange their petitions were. Sally also felt a bit jealous about Eddie's strength and tried to compete against him while Eddie just went along with her activities.

Despite Sally using lengthened names for all neighbors, she didn't seem to have one for Eddie, simply calling him "mailman" while Eddie called her "ma’am" instead. It seems like Sally undervalued Eddie to some extent and disregarded a lot of things he said and did. Even if Eddie was the only one to recognize Sally's costume during "The Macabre Menagerie of Monstrous Mischief-Making" holiday, she didn't show appreciation for this.

### Howdy Pillar

Since Howdy's Place is the only shop in the town, the characters always went there to buy his products, included Sally. Howdy didn't miss the opportunity to advertise and talk big about his products, and recommended Sally items to buy from his shop when she was indecisive about what to grab from his stock. Sally was easy to convince and she bought plenty of products from Howdy when she went there, even if she didn't even know fully what she was actually buying from him or didn't really need it.

### Barnaby B. Beagle

Sally didn't seem to like Barnaby too much and usually tossed eggs at him,  since he often messed up her acts or didn't perform well in them. She didn't like to choose him for her plays.  She seemed to be annoyed at his constant puns, especially if they interrupted her.

	+ Her Pokémon team consist on fairy types that she has trained into ferocious fighting types. She has a Clefable.
* Clown also described their own take in a Welcome Home x Alice in Wonderland AU. Sally would be the one to take the role of the Caterpillar instead of Howdy in this universe, and Howdy would be the Queen of Hearts instead. Clown explains that this is because of their personality. Sally would carry herself very poised and without the desire to hold much attention for Wally (Alice in this AU) because she has better things to worry about. She speaks very elegantly and mysteriously.
