Gwen Marie Miyako Starburst

**Gwen Marie Miyako Starburst** is a supporting character in the *Candle Man franchise*. She first appeared along with the rest of The Mystic Stars in the series of the same name created by MysticStars1201, a worker on the franchise.

## Character development

### *The Mystic Stars*

MysticStars1201 first created Gwen as a self-insert character of her real life counterpart, but as a purple, blue and pink shift-shaper that looked similar to Penny from *The Amazing World of Gumball*. After Gwen's home series, the series was changed from *Mystic Adventures* to *The Mystic Stars*, Mystic knew that with this new branding had to come a new design for Gwen.

Though Gwen's current design is similar to that of Unikitty, mentioned in a now-deleted comment on Gwen's page on The Mystic Stars Wiki and also referenced by Shaduck in *Candle Man's War Story*. In real life, Mystic has gotten comments saying that Gwen was Anais from *The Amazing World of Gumball*, only for the people to get corrected. Though later, Mystic added Gwen's ponytail and various abilities seen throughout the original series, such as her Moon Starlight Rod.

## Personality

Gwen is a very happy and positive person. She is very optimistic, always trying to see the best in most of the scenarios she is in, and in general, always tries to have a warm and fuzzy smile on her face. Not only does she desire to be happy, but she also desires to see others happy, similarly of that to Mystic, due to that fact Mystic had created her.

Gwen is also known for being morally grounded in general; she is typically the one to stop her fellow Mystic Stars members from doing anything wrong, though as the series progresses, she takes a more mischievous route in life. As she was always causing trouble with Mystic when she was young, and also taking Teddy Mouse from Candle Man's room, even if this act causes her to get her to get in trouble.

Gwen is also very sensitive and empathetic, though this was toned down in between her show of origin and the Candle Man franchise. She is very affectionate towards others, as seen in her interactions with her family, and specifically the rest of The Mystic Stars and Mystic herself, throughout the series. This love and affection may be a weakness of her; however, as a result, she is very possessive with her loved ones, and feels lonely when not around them, though this idea is only present in her creator's version of *Candle Man & Friends*, which was made to be seen more of a parody between the official version and MysticStars1201's version of *Candle Man & Friends*.

## Abilities

### Elemental powers

Like the rest of The Mystic Stars, Gwen can use elemental powers. Her only element, making her the only Mystic Star who is not a dual elemental, is Psychic, as she uses it for most of her combat.

### Mystical Star-Storm

Gwen is the only elemental user who can use the move known as Mystical Star-Storm, where she sends down meteors on her foes.

## Trivia

* Gwen being a self-insert of her character creator in *The Mystic Stars* was changed for the *Candle Man franchise*, as that role ended up being Mystic's, making Gwen the only Mystic Star member who had one of their roles from the original series that was changed, had one added, and or removed.
	+ This also applied to Darwin when it came to him and Insanova since the latter was not completed for the original series by the time he was added to *Candle Man & Friends.* Ever since Insanova was completed for *The Mystic Stars*, it was untrue.
