Main characters


Star Butterfly

) is thought to be a magical princess from the dimension of Mewni. On her 14th birthday, she is given the family heirloom - the royal magic wand - but after she causes a big accident, she is sent to the Earth dimension as a foreign exchange student. She then lives with the Diaz family. She enjoys exploring and being away from her parents and their pressure to make her into a perfect princess. Nefcy had originally designed Star as a fourth-grader obsessed with '' Sailor Moon'' and wanting to become a magical girl despite not having any powers. The design was initially just her with heart cheeks and the devil horns came later. By the time she pitched the idea to Disney she had made the character older, and an executive suggested she would have actual magical powers, leading to the current foreign exchange student concept. Nefcy says Star is very much like her, and that she has a lot of flaws and aspects of being a real girl. Star is

's first voice acting role. Sher describes Star as Disney's first-ever butt-kicking princess and identifies with her a lot: "She's always wrong. She's always messing up. But at the same time, this character has such a good heart. Star is fiercely loyal when it comes to her friends and never backs down from a fight. There's so much going on there. And that's what makes this character so much fun to voice." Disney sitcom actress

He is of mixed Caucasian and Hispanic descent, and typically wears a red hoodie, having said that he owns a dozen of them. He helps Star during their fights against the villains using mostly martial arts moves from training in a karate dojo.

Subsequently, in the season 3 episode "Marco Jr.", it was confirmed that both Marco himself, his friends and family view him as being "26 to 35" years old. As his "Turdina" persona, he has developed a love for makeup. Nefcy originally conceived of Marco to be a child obsessed with '' Dragon Ball Z'' and karate. After Star's character was changed to be a foreign exchange student, she felt Marco's character needed to balance out Star's, so he became more of a

(adult) and Katie Driver (young)) was the Queen of Mewni and Star Butterfly's mother. As a teenager, she succeeded the throne and leadership of the Magic High Commission when Toffee killed her mother, Comet Butterfly, during his attack on Mewni. She made a deal with Eclipsa to learn dark magic, but used it to sever Toffee's finger instead upon realizing that the price of its use was too high. Her experience made her overprotective of Star at times while ruling with a calm, steady and thoughtful hand. Moon is shown to be a resourceful and capable fighter in her own right, with powerful magical abilities, experienced horsemanship, keen senses and extensive knowledge of the geography and history of Mewni. After eventually learning that she and Star are of Pie Folk descent and accidentally wounded by Eclipsa when forced to harm Meteora, Moon ends up in the magic dimension and loses her memories. Despite Star's attempt to save her, she retains her amnesia upon being sent back to Mewni by the dimension's guardian, Firstborn. Moon returned to Mewni as Pie Folk, who then exploited her amnesia to bake their pies before Star saves her mother. Moon regained her memories shortly after and ultimately decided to live in the forest, due to her mistrust of Eclipsa, with River and the other Mewmen who had lost their homes under Eclipsa's rule. It is later revealed that Moon ordered Rhombulus to free Globgor and created Mina's army of Solarian warriors to take back the crown, while Mina intends them to exterminate all "monsters", including Eclipsa and her supporters, Moon wishes merely to take the throne and send Eclipsa, Globgor and Meteora into exile. She later regrets it when Mina rebelled against her in order to carry out her own plan.

(adult) and Sonny Ashbourne Serkis (young)) was the King of Mewni and Star Butterfly's father. A member of the Johansen family, he married Moon and took her family name. The Johansens are portrayed as rough, Viking-like barbarians fond of the outdoors and fighting who allied with the forces of Mewni in the war against the lizards lead by Toffee. River is of a stout, broad physique, sports a full beard, and is fond of wearing no clothes other than a loin cloth made of leaves. He is shown to be physically strong and a relatively bold, inspiring military leader, but was a poor administrator when left in charge of Mewni in Moon's absence.

Fully aware of Star's magical abilities and otherdimensional origin, they are nonetheless casual about Star and Marco's adventures through time and space, even enthusiastic at the prospect of their son being more adventurous and less of a "safe kid." They are very supportive and nurturing of Marco, with the whole Diaz family sharing enthusiasm for activities such as travelling, hosting foreign students (having hosted a Swedish boy previous to Star), cooking and art. Their casual approach with Marco has led to them somewhat losing touch with their son, unaware of the 16 years he spent in Hekapoo's dimension until Star informs them and deciding to have another child, which they first named Marco Jr., while Marco is living in Mewni. The baby turns out to be a girl named Mariposa, who later gets trapped in the Neverzone dimension with Meteora and grows up to be a teen (voiced by

Principal Skeeves

Skeeves (voiced by Jeff Bennett) is the principal of Echo Creek Academy. He is very emotional and acts more like an immature student at the school than its principal. He casually mocked Marco as the "safe kid" and unhesitantly accepted Queen and King Butterfly's bribe to let Star attend the school.

They make a brief appearance in season 3 where they have become visibly annoyed at Marco's constant references to his adventures with Star and see him off when he decides to leave for Mewni. In season 4, they reaffirm their friendship with Marco and reveal that they have made new friends with four rather handsome looking teens who have become part of their D&D group.

) is a former queen of Mewni (known during her reign as the "Queen of Darkness") and was assumed to be an ancestor of Star and Moon Butterfly before their true lineage was revealed. Three centuries before the events of the series, Eclipsa was imprisoned in crystal for the use of "dark magic" and eloping with Globgor, a monster; while her child, Meteora, was replaced with a Pie Folk girl named Festivia, who is the true ancestor of Star's bloodline. When the kingdom was attacked by Toffee, Moon made a deal with Eclipsa to learn a forbidden spell capable of killing him in exchange for her freedom. Though Moon used the spell to sever Toffee's finger instead, the lizard's apparent death in "The Battle for Mewni" frees Eclipsa. Upon discovery of her escape, Eclipsa is placed under house arrest rather than recrystallization on Star's behest to hold a fair trial. When the trial occurs in "Butterfly Trap", Eclipsa helped Star and Moon in forcing the Magic High Commission to admit their actions against her. Later, despite Eclipsa's attempts to reach her long-lost daughter in "Tough Love", unintentionally causing Moon to go missing and losing Star's trust, she ultimately uses her magic to turn Meteora back into a baby in "Conquer", with Star restoring her status as the Queen of Mewni. During Season 4, setting her palace in the restored Monster Temple, Eclipsa made several attempts to free Globgor from his crystal prison while also trying to win the respect of the Mewmen. On her coronation day, she was accused of freeing Globgor. Later she is finally reunited with him and crowned queen with the approval of the kingdom. In "Pizza Party", she was betrayed by Moon, who demands her surrender of both the wand and kingdom. At the end of the series, she helps Star to destroy all magic and is finally able to live a happy life with her husband and child.

Throughout Season 3, Glossaryck constantly mentioned his name, trying to warn everyone before coming to the point after Meteora was turned into a baby and Eclipsa reunited with his crystallized body at the Monster Temple. In Season 4, Eclipsa makes various attempts to free Globgor, even going as far to steal Rhombulus' body. It was later revealed that his army ravaged the Spiderbite Kingdom Village and ate Eclipsa's ex-husband, King Shastacan Spiderbite. On Eclipsa's coronation, Rhombulus freed him and he runs away to protect his family. He is later brought back by Star to show that he is not evil and is reunited with his family and accepted by the kingdom.

). They lived in Castle Avarius until Ludo occupied it with his minions while they were on vacation, afterward relegated to a run down house in the Forest of Certain Death. They are a very dysfunctional family, with Ludo recounting several incidents of emotional abuse and Brudo expressing no regret for "being hard" on Ludo as a child, calling him a "runt." Brudo is gruff, lazy, rude and dismissive of Lady Avarius' attempts at some semblance of noble dignity in their exile. Lady Avarius is frenetic, with rapid shifts in mood and attention, but is equally angry at Ludo. She notably has a black eye swollen shut when she first appears in the show, though no explanation is given. Dennis, contrary to his parents, shows warmth and concern for others, especially Ludo. He assisted Queen Moon in finding Ludo after confiding in her about his brother's slipping sanity. All members of the Avarius family are humanoid with avian features, round heads and beaks. They are very tall, except for Ludo. Dennis is capable of flying and even carried Queen Moon to and from Ludo's hideout. Ludo has no contact with his family but does expresses fondness when Dennis is specifically mentioned. The trauma from Ludo's childhood comes out when he fashions dolls in the likeness of his parents. After imagining them saying loving, supportive things for a while, the caricatures revert to memory and he compulsively puppets the abusive, denigrating personalities his parents actually have.

) is a major avarian from Mewni with a round head and a beak and wears a cap made out of the upper part of a creature's skull. Due to his terrible childhood and need to prove his worth, later kicking his entire family out of their home Castle Avarius, Ludo sought out Star's wand so he can use its powers to take over the universe. He commanded an army of monsters. As most of his minions are incompetent, he ends up hiring Toffee, but later betrayed when Toffee took over his operations and kicks him out of Castle Avarius. At the end of Season 1, the castle is destroyed and an upset Ludo is thrown into the void. In Season 2, after a while of soul searching in the wilderness, he acquires a new wand made from Toffee's severed arm gripping on the corrupted fragment of Star's original wand. His new minions in Season 2 are primarily a giant spider and a giant bald eagle, as well as a group of rats and monsters. He uses the wand with some moderate success on levitating, but is eventually possessed by Toffee and used to take over Mewni during the events of "Battle of Mewni". Toffee later abandons his unsuspecting host once he created his restored body. After playing a role in Toffee's demise, Ludo convinces Star to send him back into a void for more soul-searching. In "Ludo, Where Art Thou?" he is found by Dennis and Spider, having made a house of trash in the void. By end of the episode, Dennis learns to stand up to his parents and Ludo decides to remain in the void, stating that he still has a lot of issues to work out. In the Season 4 episode "Princess Quasar Caterpillar and the Magic Bell", after to falling back to his old ways, which he curses himself for, Dennis shows up and reveals he bought the deed to Castle Avarius and hired all of Ludo's old minions to rebuild it. But when Ludo's minions thinks he's going to steal the wand from Eclipsa, the reminders of his past cause him to maniacally scheme to steal it, with Dennis catching him in the act. Ludo angrily admits he hates the castle and just wants to move on from the past. When the landowner Dennis bought the deed from had conned him out of the castle, making Dennis feeling foolish for being so trusting, Ludo embraces his former villainous ways and tortures the landowner for the deed back and hires some of their siblings as construction worker, leading the brothers to being ready for a new life.

) was a Septarian, a race of humanoid lizards with regenerative abilities that make them essentially immortal,as revealed in ''Star and Marco's Guide to Mastering Every Dimension'' who had been an enemy to Star's family. Nefcy said that she and her staff "wanted Star to fight against somebody who is a greater evil", as Ludo was "super fun" but "not a scary villain". Years prior to meeting Ludo, Toffee led a Septarian army against Mewni before a confrontation with a teenage Moon Butterfly, whose mother he and his army murdered when she was attempting to sign a peace treaty, forced his army to fall back after using a dark spell designed to kill immortals that permanently severs his finger. After Star goes to Earth, Toffee convinces Ludo into hiring him as an efficiency expert in "Fortune Cookies". Toffee eventually uses his charisma to win over Ludo's minions into kicking Ludo out and serving him instead in "Storm the Castle", later capturing Marco and forcing Star to destroy her wand. Although Toffee is consumed in the following explosion, his skeletal arm remained, with a grip on the missing half of Star's wand fragment. In the Season 2 episode "Ludo in the Wild", his arm and wand fragment were found by Ludo, who uses it as a makeshift wand. However, Toffee slowly manipulated Ludo and eventually possessed him. He later took over Mewni in the TV movie "The Battle for Mewni", where he forced Moon to return his severed finger to him, completely restoring his body in the process. Toffee ended up being gravely wounded by Star before being apparently killed by Ludo, who knocked a pillar onto him.
