Cherished desire

Many years ago, the Kingdom of Roses was founded by King Magnifico and Queen Amaya on a Mediterranean island endowed with Magnifico's magical ability to fulfill the wishes of the inhabitants of the kingdom. Upon reaching the age of 18, each citizen transmits his wish and memories of him to Magnifico during a ceremony during which he keeps them in his observatory. Every month, Magnifico chooses one wish that he must fulfill in front of the city, and keeps all the rest for himself.

Currently, 17-year-old Asha, accompanied by her pet goat Valentino, dreams of becoming Magnifico's apprentice. On the day of his grandfather Sabino's 100th birthday, Asha hopes that Magnifico will grant his wish. However, during the interview with the student, tension rises when Magnifico denies Sabino's wish. This reveals the dark truth that he has no intention of returning any of the wishes to their owners and, in addition, refuses to fulfill her family's wishes.

Despite Asha's attempts to expose Magnifico's deception, her family is still unconvinced. Frustrated, Asha makes a desperate wish to heaven by summoning a magical star-shaped creature named Star. Unaware of this, Magnifico perceives Star as a threat to Rosas and looks for ways to counter her power. Meanwhile, Star's magic brings the forest to life and reveals to Asha the connection between all living things and stardust. Together with Valentino, Asha sets out to find Sabino's wish come true, challenging Magnifico with the help of her best friend Dahlia.

As tensions rise in Rosas, Magnifico resorts to dark magic to maintain control and create a magical staff. Asha, armed with her newfound knowledge, responds to Sabino's wish, but Magnifico retaliates, destroying her mother Sakin's wish and causing deep grief. Asha, her family, Valentino, and Star flee in pursuit of Magnifico. However, it is revealed that Simon, one of Asha's friends, is Magnifico's informant and has been turned into a pawn by Magnifico by bewitching his fulfilled wish. Magnifico, fueled by repressed desires, becomes a formidable force.

Asha rallies her other friends and Amaya to stop Magnifico. Corrupt and powerful, Magnifico drains Rosas' desires and seals Star away after Asha and her comrades encounter various challenges. In the final battle, Asha begs the townspeople to make a wish, overcoming Magnifico's dark magic. The kingdom is freed, Star is freed from Magnifico's staff along with the sealed wishes, and Magnifico is sealed in it. Regretting his actions, Simon apologizes to Asha and his friends, who forgive him all. Amaya takes over the leadership of Roses while Magnifico is imprisoned. In gratitude, Star creates a magic wand for Asha. She vows to continue the just fulfillment of her wishes, and the Star returns to the sky among the other stars.

1.Asha
2.Queen Amaya

Asha is a tall, slender, beautiful Afro-Iberian woman with tanned skin, 17 years old, with freckles on her cheeks and nose, dark brown narrow eyebrows and hazel eyes. She has long, fluttering eyelashes and plump two-tone coral lips, and her most notable feature is thigh-length dark chocolate hair braided in pigtails, styled on the right side and dreadlocks on the left side of her head. She wears small pendant earrings with purple beads and roses on diamond-shaped pendants, as well as two purple necklaces. She wears a dull lavender dress with a two-tone purple triangular pattern, purple seams, and small dull gold embellishments on the V-neckline and short sleeves, over a purple long-sleeved dress studded with dull golden sequins resembling stars. Along the hem of the dress there is a pattern in the form of rhombuses and triangles in three shades of purple and purple. At the waist, she wears a purple belt with dull gold diamond-shaped studs and the same rose-shaped buckle, which are connected by tassels hanging at the front. Asha wears two purple bracelets on her left ankle, which match her necklaces, as well as her pointed high-heeled shoes in dark purple. Sometimes Asha takes a small beige handbag with a dull purple printed diamond, which she attaches to her belt.

While hiding from Magnifico, Asha wears a lavender cloak with a hood and a purple bow.

After Star gave Asha the wand, her hair and dress were covered in white sequins, giving her a radiant appearance.

Asha was born in Roses, the daughter of a philosopher named Thomas and a seamstress named Sakina. As a child, Asha often heard her father tell her about the stars and how they relate to all living things. When Asha was eleven years old, she met Dahlia, a ten-year-old girl who, six years before the events of the film, became the royal baker. They met while chasing a mischievous goat who stole cookies baked by Dahlia for the queen. When Asha and Dahlia rescued the cookie, they divided the broken one between them, and Dahlia realized that she had a friend. Later, when Asha was twelve, her father died of an unknown illness, and her paternal mother and grandfather, Sabino, took care of her upbringing.

When Asha was seventeen, she began working as a tour guide, meeting travelers and immigrants in the kingdom of Roses.

Asha is an energetic, passionate girl who is very proud of the history and traditions of her kingdom. As a guide, Asha is very welcoming with people from different countries and does everything to make them feel at home in the kingdom of Roses. At first, Asha, like everyone else in Roses, had a high opinion of King Magnifico and his ability to grant wishes. However, upon hearing that Magjifiori was refusing to grant her grandfather's wishes, and learning that the king only granted wishes for his own benefit, Asha changed her mind about him, realizing that Magifiori had been mired in corruption during the long years he had held power and magic over Rosas. This prompted Asha to oppose the king and try to change the way of life in the kingdom for the sake of everyone's well-being and happiness.Asha grew up in a kingdom where all dreams and desires come true, so she is very idealistic and freedom-loving. Deep down, Asha is a very compassionate and selfless girl who is very attached to her family, friends, and everyone around her. Her caring nature, according to Dahlia, may be her weakness, which got Asha into trouble when she started speaking out against Manifico, endangering not only her life but also the lives of her loved ones. However, Asha's love, unselfishness, and kindness are also her greatest strengths. In an effort to help her people and loved ones, she not only called on the Star to help improve life in Rosas, but also to change the kingdom's society for the better, allowing people to fulfill their desires without restrictions or expectations.

Asha, now 17, is excited not only because her grandfather is turning 100, but also because King Magnifico is going to apprentice her, the second most important position in the kingdom. Upon entering Magnifico's office, Asha finds a spellbook containing the magic that the king appears to be holding. Taking her to his chambers, Magnifico shows her a wish list of all the inhabitants of Rosas, but when Asha finds his grandfather's wish and asks Magnifico to grant it - just hoping that his music will inspire others - he refuses because he thinks it is "too vague". He also reveals to her a dark secret: he erases the memories of the townspeople's desires, robbing them of ambition and making them dependent on him. This leads to tensions between him and Asha, which only intensifies when he refuses Sabino's wish and strips Asha of his apprenticeship status.Later that evening, Asha tells her family about Magnifico's dark side, but her family does not believe her. Asha accidentally offends Sabino by wondering if Magnifico really keeps his wish safe, even if it never comes true, and runs out of the house in desperation. When she reaches the tree her father took her to, Asha desperately makes a wish on a shooting star in the hope that all the inhabitants of Roses will actually have a chance to make their wishes come true. But to her surprise, her wish turns out to be so great and pure that she receives the gift of the star itself, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic luminous ball that looks like a star. Later, it is revealed that her name is Star. She also learns that his fairy dust brings to life everything she touches and gives her the ability to talk to any living creature she comes across...

This happened to her pet goat Valentino, who gained the ability to speak. In the morning, Asha learns that Star has come to help her get back all the wishes that Magnifico has.

Unfortunately, Star's presence is noticed by everyone in Roses, including Magnifico, but he sees it as an even greater threat to his power. Despite the fact that everyone else took it as a light show, Queen Amaya decided that it was Magnifico's doing, he confesses to her that it is not his doing, and promises to fulfill the wish of the one who points out the traitor. While all of this is happening, Asha introduces Star to her friends, and with the help of her best friend Dahlia, the three of them - Asha, Valentino, and Star - sneak into Magnifico's office, take Sabino's wish, and escape before Magnifico can find them, though Star makes a mess of his office and sets something on fire. and then grants her grandfather's long-awaited wish, but Magnifico unexpectedly comes to them, who, in a fit of rage, breaks Sakina's wish, which makes her feel broken and miserable, and her family decides to escape to a neighboring island. However, Asha, Star, and Valentino, determined to prevent Magnifico from harming others, return to Roses to stop him. Due to the threat, he fell into paranoia and, in desperation, used a recipe from his spellbook to create a staff of dark magic that would absorb Star's powers, but in the process became corrupted himself. To her horror, she learns that one of her friends, Simon, betrayed her to Magnifico to grant his wish and make him a knight, but Magnifico ended up brainwashing him. Hiding in a secret hideout, Asha and her friends, along with a frightened Amaya, devise a plan to stop Magnifico and reclaim all wishes.

Deciding to distract Magnifico while the others try to free their wishes, Asha receives another unexpected surprise from Star: he gives her a wand and enchants her with his magic, turning her into magic. Now Asha can fight on equal terms with Magnefico. After a long chase around Rosas and trying to learn how to use her magic, Ashi's stick breaks and she is cornered by Magnifico, but she soon realizes that Magnifico knows about her plans. Magnifico, who was chasing her, is revealed to be Simon in disguise, who blocks her path as she tries to return to Roses. Fortunately, John the Bear knocks him down, and Asha hurries back to Roses, leaving Simon to be torn apart by the talking rabbits.When Asha returns to the city, it was too late: Magnufico foiled a robbery by her friends, captured her, and forced her to watch as he mercilessly devoured the Star with his staff and plunged the entire kingdom into darkness so that no one would make a wish on the stars or add karma to Asha. Magnifico seems to have won, but Asha, who was held by Magnifico, remembers that the forest animals that Star gave the ability to speak taught her that everything is made of stars. She summons the people of Rosas for help to stop Magnifico, and soon enough, despite Magnifico's attempts to stop them from making a wish, she manages to gather all the magic, free Star, and imprison Magnifico in his own staff.

After defeating Magnifico, his magical powers weaken, and a new day begins over the kingdom. Residents, including Asha's mother, can make wishes again. Asha soon meets Simon, who regrets telling Magnifico about Star and realizes that she can't forgive him, but she still forgives him because she understands why he did it. As for Magnifico, he is trapped in a shard of a mirror that was attached to the top of his staff. Amaya locked him in a dungeon, where he would hang from the wall until she became the sole ruler of Rosas.After Rosas was saved, its inhabitants took a new look at the fulfillment of their wishes. But when Star found out that she was going to return to heaven, Asha received a new wand as a gift, which Star turned the broken wand into by fixing it. At the urging of her loved ones, Asha promised Star that she would continue to help others fulfill their wishes as a fairy godmother, helping everyone achieve their dreams.

Magic: Star gave Asha's wand to fight Magnifico, who was later revealed to be Simon, who had been brainwashed to distract Asha. In the film, she uses her wand as magic to resize objects/animals, create clothes, and transform/animate objects. At first, Asha is embarrassed to use the wand, but over time, she begins to succeed until the wand breaks. She receives a real magic wand from Star, who turned a broken wand into a magic wand, despite the fact that by the end of the film, she had a hard time conjuring.

Amaya is a dark-skinned woman with brown eyes, rosy cheeks, pink lips, and long dark brown hair that is braided into a long braid and adorned with blue beads. On the right side of her face, next to her lips, she has a mole. She is dressed in a creamy blue dress encrusted with precious stones and a gold crown.

Amaya is a beautiful, kind, and confident woman. She protects Asha, who aspires to get one of the most coveted positions in the kingdom of Roses - to become a king's apprentice. She loves her husband, King Magnifico, and is devoted to him, but is not afraid to share her opinion with him. [2]

In the book A Recipe for Adventure, it is stated that she wanted to serve the people of Rosas, but Magnifico decided that she wanted to serve him. In addition, she is kind and fair, she helped Dahlia get a job as a castle baker and rules with love. It is also mentioned that Amaya can read and link basic spells, and has read all the books in King Magnifico's office.

Loves:
Her people, helping others, generosity, kindness, happiness
Dislikes:
Her husband who used a book and healed himself, her cursed husband, his evil deeds, forbidden magic, her people in danger

Magnifico is a tall, handsome man with tanned skin, pale blue eyes, short, smooth, neatly combed gray hair (it was black in his youth), thick eyebrows, a goatee, and a mustache. He is dressed in a cross between white and gold, with beige loafers on his feet.

When Magnofico was young, he lived with his family in a peaceful country. However, his parents were murdered and his homeland was completely destroyed by greedy thieves, and then he swore that he would do everything possible to protect people from what he himself had experienced. Therefore, Magnofico began to study several types of magic to protect himself and other people. He then met Amaya, fell in love with her, and eventually married her. Together with Amaya, he founded and built the kingdom of Roses on the island. They accepted all who traveled or visited the island as their compatriots, and the population revered their rulers, especially Magnifico, who was adored by all, to his great joy. which he conducts once a month. What they didn't know, however, was that he only fulfilled those desires that were beneficial to him and his kingdom, and kept the rest locked up in his office so that they would never be fulfilled, especially those that he considered a threat to his rule. In addition, he kept a book of forbidden magic in his office in case he was threatened.

Magnifico is a charming and charismatic man who positions himself as an innovator and inspiration worthy of the kingdom of Roses. Initially, Magnifico sought to protect his kingdom and the well-being of his subjects, wanting to create a place where people would be safe and happy. As a child, he experienced the trauma of losing his home and family, and this motivated him to do everything possible to never face such losses again. This pushed him to study magic in order to gain the power to protect all that was dear to him. He shared this with Asha. Seeing her sincere desire to help people during the interview for the position of his student, he seriously thought about making her his student, showing true humanity. Likewise, Magnifico genuinely loves his wife, Queen Amaya, appreciates her friendship and advice, and is willing to listen to her words when he falls into despair. 🎵 He deceives himself into thinking that he is still a man of the people, but in reality, he is smug and arrogant and believes that only he knows what will be best for everyone in his kingdom. Although he is still driven by past trauma, he is ultimately driven by a paranoid fear of losing control of everything he has worked for. Therefore, he will not tolerate any potential threats to his power. In particular, this applies to the wishes that Magnufico persuades the crowd to entrust to him. He goes through these many desires to see which ones will benefit his kingdom (or just himself) and which ones he will see as a potential threat to his power, even if it's as simple as playing and inspiring with music. He calls such a desire indefinite.

Magnifico has a low opinion of people and their desires in general. He believes that since most people believe that their wishes are not fulfilled too often or unfairly, he convinces them to give their wishes to him and forget about them so that they do not remember what they are missing. Under the pretense that he relieves people of the suffering of unfulfilled dreams and believes that it helps maintain order and stability, as the fulfillment of some wishes can be dangerous, he is actually trying to appease the kingdom as he does not grant most wishes and does not return them, even those that he will never fulfill. in addition to himself, to do magic. When a mysterious light shone in the night sky above Rosas, he immediately decided that it was a threat and used his power over people to "encourage" them to share any information about this phenomenon with him. When his subjects begin to question him and demand that their wishes be granted, Magnifico finally snaps and expresses (in the song) his displeasure, showing his true selfish and spiteful nature and how he really treats everyone around him. In the end, a desperate drive to maintain power leads him to resort to forbidden magic in a mad attempt to capture Star.

The use of Forbidden Magic exposed all of Magnufik's darkest traits, including his arrogance, narcissism, paranoia, lust for power, and especially cruelty. When he destroyed Sakina's desire right in front of her family, inflicting pain and despair on an innocent woman out of pure anger against Asha, he reveled in his superiority over others and the power he gained by simply destroying desire. His paranoia reached such proportions that even Amaya could not escape Magnifico's suspicions until she struggled to reassure him that she would never ally with the traitor Rosas (she might have looked like she was referring to Asha, but she was actually referring to her husband, who Amaya saw had gone insane). He still craved power and continued to destroy desires to absorb their power, exposing their owners to pain and despair, but he still sought to obtain the Star to become invulnerable. He also showed cruelty by fulfilling Simon's desire to become a knight, but in doing so, he deceived him by bending him to his will and making him his slave.

In the end, Magnifico threw all his lies aside for salvation and pretense, showing everyone what a monster he had become. He declared that there would be no more desires, no hopes, no more dreams, and that no one would ever be able to question or challenge his power. With the help of magic, he cast clouds on Rosas so that no one could make wishes on the stars anymore, and bewitched everyone in the kingdom, including his own wife. He also used magic to hurt Asha and demonstrate his strength. He was absolutely sure that no one could stop him, and he tried to break her spirit, to force her to surrender.

However, Magnifico underestimated the power of hope and determination. Asha did not give up and even inspired all the Rosas not to lose hope, not to give up and make a wish that freed Star from the power of Magnifico's staff and turned his magic against him, imprisoning him in his own staff. But he never learned his lesson. Therefore, Amaya, smiling and laughing along with the other residents, thanked her ex-husband for what he deserved by hanging him on the wall in the dungeon.

Magnifico is looking for an assistant/apprentice, and his latest candidate runs away in tears, having failed to impress him. He talks with Asha, who tells him about herself, including her weakness. He also mentions that he knew her father before his death. Magnifico then takes Asha to his office and shows her the millions of orbs that contain the wishes of all the Rosans. In one of the orbs, she finds her grandfather's wish—to inspire people by playing the guitar. As she explains her grandfather's wish, she suggests it might be dangerous, although Sabino would never do anything wrong. Asha then asks if most wishes come true, and Magnifico replies that they are safely stored with him forever. He also confirms her theory that many wishes don't come true. She tells him that he could simply release them, and then those who created them would try to fulfill them themselves. Magnifico replies that people come to him because they can't realize their dreams because they're too complex or unrealistic, and he makes them forget what they originally wanted, essentially stripping them of part of their identity and deceiving them. Asha is shocked that he does this to make people forget their best memories. Furious, Magnifico declares that only he can decide what each of them deserves. During the wish-granting ceremony, he refused to grant Sabino's wish and refused to accept Asha as an apprentice. That same night, Asha makes a wish, calling on a star for help, and the star, revealed to be a sentient being, answers. Magnifico sees a flash of light and realizes it's a threat to his power.

The next day, Magnifico announces to the citizens of Rosas that there is a traitor in the kingdom. Dahlia (the baker who bakes Magnifico's cookies and one of Asha's friends) distracts him with a question before the townspeople begin questioning him about the inconsistencies in his story, the safety of their wishes, and whether another wish-granting ceremony will be held. Magnifico, barely containing his anger, tells them they can get what they want if they catch the traitor, but anyone who helps them will be punished and will never get what they want. Returning to his office, Magnifico complains about being disrespected and boasts of his accomplishments, unaware that Asha, with Star's help, has fulfilled her grandfather's wish. Despite previously promising Amaya never to use the book of dark magic he keeps, he uses it in a fit of rage and absorbs its power. Some time later, Simon (another friend of Asha's) informed Magnifico that it was Asha who made the wish for Star. He then appeared at Asha's family home just as she was returning Sabino's wish and destroyed Sakina's wish before Asha, her family, and Star could escape. Returning to her castle, Amaya assures him that Asha is not a traitor. Magnifico then loses his temper and points his staff at his wife, accusing her of betrayal, to which Amaya reacts fearfully.

At the wish-granting ceremony, Magnifico reveals that Simon told him of Asha's existence, shocking all his friends, including Asha and Star. He grants Simon's wish to become a knight, but twists it by brainwashing Simon, to the horror of his friends and Amaya. Having turned Simon into his minion, the evil king orders the townspeople to find Asha and places her friends on the wanted list. Reunited with her friends, Asha devises a plan to free all the wishes and save Rosas. Amaya joins them, realizing her husband has gone too far with his plans. While Asha, Star, and their friends distract Magnifico and try to free the wishes, Amaya and Dahlia go to Magnifico's office to find a way to rid him of the dark magic. But the book says the consequences for those who use magic are irreversible, and they conclude that saving the king is impossible. Realizing it's not Magnefico who's chasing her, but Simon, who's been brainwashed into impersonating him, Asha runs to save Star, but Magnefico grabs her, and Dahlia calls for help. Grabbing Asha, Magnefico captures Star and absorbs him into his staff. The evil king then declares a new rule: no more wishes, hopes, dreams, or attempts to escape. He binds everyone, including Asha's friends and family, and even Amaya herself, in green magical bonds and forces them to kneel, maniacally rejoicing in his victory. While Asha, bound hand and foot, calls on the people of Rosas to help stop him, Dahlia and Amaya do the same. The others begin to chant, and Magnifico tries to stop them, but his attempts are in vain: all his wishes are granted, and he is forcefully pulled into the staff.

When everything returns to normal, Magnifico is revealed to still be alive, but now trapped within a small shard of glass that broke off from the staff. Found by Amaya, Magnifico demands that she immediately free him from the shard, but Amaya politely (but angrily) refuses, much to Magnifico's dismay when he hears her "no," which enrages him after everything he's done for her and Rosas. He angrily asks, "Is this the gratitude I get?" to which Amaya replies that it's what he deserves as she takes the shard, knowing that Magnifico deserves eternal punishment for all the atrocities he committed in their kingdom. Amaya then gives the shard to a guard and orders it hung on the wall inside the dungeon, much to Magnifico's displeasure and horror, who states that the dungeon smells terrible.
