Asteria The Mother Of Stars

Festivia's firstborn and heiress, Asteria was the first 'Star' to be born since Estelaria. Known for her love of astronomy and strong maternal instincts, a Teen Pregnancy resulted in Asteria ascending to the throne at only sixteen years of age, the youngest queen at the time. In a cruel twist of fate, illness rendered the young queen and mother infertile. Despite the inability to have more children, Asteria's motherly nature remained strong, giving her strength when she embarked on her historic rescue of nearly a hundred children that had been kidnapped by monster forces in an attempt to abduct the princess.

Alternative Calendar: Besides her rescue of the abducted children, Asteria's other most notable contribution during her reign was the creation of the 'Asterian Calendar.' Each month coincided with the dwell time of the ten constellations in Mewni's elliptic sky. Years remained divided into ten months of alternating thirty-six and thirty-seven days (as was the case in the previous calendar), but each month was named after which of the ten constellations was central and brightest during that period. Arranged Marriage: Not her but she started the trend of arranging the princess' future husband. In her case she picked Germain Fields for her daughter because she was looking for a boy of strong noble lineage with no history of serious illnesses to avoid what happened to her with Orion. Dawn of an Era: Opened the Age of Heroes. Dead Sparks: The lack of intimacy due to Asteria's gynecological problems frosted their teenage passion, and despite having her blessing for it, Orion having mistresses caused a schism between them. Fictional Constellations: Based her proposal for a new calendar on them. Their names are, in order: Butterfly, Pig-Goat, Admirestar (a type of telescope), Warnicorn, Dwolf, Rabbit, Dragonette, Razor Crane, Gravnok and Corn. They also function as a Fictional Zodiac. Friend to All Children: Not being able to have more children, she visited and patronized many orphanages. Her strong maternal instincts went beyond her own child to all those kids she rescued and kept safe in the Sanctuary during a storm. Love Martyr: Downplayed. Being unable to have sex, she allowed her husband to have mistresses. When she accidentally caught him taking a woman to their secret room, she started to regret her decision. Magical Star Symbols: Similar her predecessor Estelaria, Asteria had star cheek marks, though hers were inverted. Mama Bear: Being unable to have more kids made her fiercely protective of Etheria, to the point she'd sleep next to her during winters.
