King Orion is the wise ruler of Spriteland, the kingdom far out in space where the Star Sprites are native to. He is a kind and forgiving man with a very silky mustache. Orion is a pretty busy man, but when he's not doing things related to kingdom management, he's all ears and is open to conversation. He insists on maintaining order, but he tries to be open to trying out new things. When Peach sent word across space to Spriteland to ask the Star Sprites for help and Leo wanted his daughter to represent them, Orion decided he would give her a chance. When Orion was younger, he was a hunter. 

King Orion and his wife, Queen Corona, work together to run Spriteland. Corona is smart and bright, and she likes making small talk. She has a strong sense of justice; she insists on creating a safe environment for everyone. She abides by the rules she and Orion set up. She is not fond of Apollo's attitude and does her best to keep him under control. She loves to read, and the star above her head is often very shiny. If she were in a Mario & Luigi game, she would want to play a minigame with the brothers since she's heard they're great at that from what Starlow says. 

Prince Apollo is Orion and Corona's son, but he is not a serious person. He is mischievous, and maybe, he tries too hard to be cool. He wants to look good for the people, and he flaunts how "on fire" he is. He swaggers around a lot, and he's got some attitude. He acts rather questionably, which concerns his family and lands him in trouble. Apollo hates that, and he also dislikes when his family "embarrasses" him. Apollo writes rap songs and uploads them to StellarSound, but honestly, the only reason anyone would follow him is because they respect his status.

Princess Sputnik is Orion and Corona's daughter and Apollo's twin sister. She is smart, charming and sweet, and she is more obedient than her brother. She knows that their parents will pick one of them to succeed them one day, so she tries to get Apollo to pull himself together so that their parents will actually have options. Sputnik doesn't get along very well with Apollo. She is learning everything there is to know about being a ruler, and she tries to make responsible decisions. She enjoys looking at the stars in space.

Goldry is a very good friend of Starlow's; she might even be her best friend. In my M&L fanon, Starlow really loves her representative job. She is very enthusiastic about staying with the Mario bros. and company on Earth, and she loves it enough to want to move there. Seeing Goldry and her parents is kind of her only motivation to go home to Spriteland. Goldry is a bookworm who is humble and clever. She is sharp-witted, and she will read up on anything she wants to know. She is loyal to every one of her friends, Starlow being no exception. She will tell her about anything that happens in Spriteland and get excited when she sees her. Goldry's favorite subject to learn about is astrology. Her name is a portmanteau of "gold" and "starry."

Astrielle is Starlow's mother and a good engineer. She is very intelligent and is good at working with machinery, but she is also emotional, caring and sympathetic. She doesn't like having to see her daughter leave for her job, but she understands that Starlow loves to adventure with the bros. and bring her starlight to Earth. She would love to meet Mario and Luigi. If someone is going through a hard time, Astrielle will show them love and kindness. She tries to be a shoulder for people to cry on. She is working for an organization that builds machines that use star power to improve people's lives; she helps to wire those machines together. 

Xander is a young employee of that machinery organization, and Astrielle works with him. Xander is mostly absorbed in his work and doesn't like to socialize. He's irritable and bitter, but it's easy to lighten him up. Xander usually turns to Astrielle for some comfort whenever he feels that his job is too hard or that people won't notice his hard work. He is very loyal to the organization, so he just wants them to recognize his work. Xander is a defensive person, so if the organization needed someone to protect it, he would. Star Sprites typically don't need to wear glasses, but Xander has very bad eyesight. 

Iris is a graceful and pleasant girl from outside Constellation City, the most populated area of Spriteland. She treats everyone with respect, and she is brave and self-assured. She does not have the same abilities that Star Sprites usually have, which is something she has dealt with since birth (it does not come from the purple ribbon she wraps around her star). She has always had a tooth gap. Iris is a lover of all things purple, which is why she almost always wears purple shoes and a purple ribbon. Xander is madly in love with her.

The Zodiac are King Orion and Queen Corona's royal guards. They represent the 12 zodiac signs, and they watch over the people of Spriteland. Because Spriteland is a kingdom that devotes itself to exploration, they also look after other planets and galaxies. Like all Star Sprites, their abilities are derived from their star energy. They are each armed with weapons that suit them. To help them battle more efficiently, they are able to take human form. They are all fully grown adults. You might think they live in the castle, but they don't, and they get up in the dark to go to work. Ra1nb0w-Ph0en1x knows a lot about astrology, so they helped me write their personalities out. 

Ari is the ram. She is very brave as well as confident, but she has to be in a space where she feels comfortable enough to feel confident. She can be impatient sometimes. Ari tends to dive headfirst into things without thinking about possible consequences. She is not good at leading people or coming up with ideas. She thinks carefully about what she says to people. She lives with her aunt in her large house. Her weapon is a handheld battering ram. 

Taura is the bull. She is hardworking and shows determination. She shows dedication in all that she does for everyone, and she is usually obedient, but also pretty stubborn. Taura does smile, but she is also quite aggressive. She is athletic, but sometimes lazy. She has trouble being honest with people since she is afraid she might hurt their feelings. She isn't very smart. She lives with her cousins in a multifamily home. Her weapon is a sword; its blade is shaped like a bull's horn.

Gem represents the twins. He is not very intelligent, but he's energetic, and he has good communication skills. He is flexible, meaning he is able to adjust to different situations. He isn't someone you can trust with keeping your secrets, though. He's also unreliably forgetful; if someone asks him to do something, he'd accidentally forget about it after some time. He lives with his twin brother, Nye, who wants to be with him forever. He dually wields two small knives as his weapons.

Canci is the crab. He has a generally sweet nature. He is one of the smarter members, and he gives good emotional advice. He is a cautious and generous person, and he is not one to hold a grudge against people that try to harm him. He is a little bit too saccharine and overemotional about things. He's a bit possessive of things that are important to him. He is quite secretive, and because of that, others can get a bit suspicious of him. He lives in a small house with his adopted children. His weapon is a shield in the shape of a crab shell that can shift into a crab claw spear.

Leo is the lion, as well as Starlow's father. He is prideful in both a good way and a bad way. He's brave and confident, and he likes to try out new things. He's loyal, strong and polite. He is a tiny bit self-centered. He is the first person that the other members turn to for answers, but he doesn't always give the best ones. Starlow is so enthusiastic about bombarding you with annoying combat tutorials because she has learned what she knows about combat from Leo. She has also gained her knowledge of Earth and her extreme love for it from him. He lives with Astrielle in their house, and Starlow stays with them whenever she comes home. His weapon is a whip that looks like a lion's tail.

Viga symbolizes the maiden. She is neat and tidy, but she is not very good at noticing little details. She is very patient, as well as kind and graceful. She is also modest and loyal. She is kind of judgmental and isn't very good at giving criticism; it comes off more as her hating on someone. She is a bit stubborn like Taura, picky about certain things and somewhat uptight. She lives alone in her own house. She is also aromantic and asexual. Her weapon is a parasol.

Libi represents the scale. She has a strong sense of truth and justice. She is a sociable person. If you upset or anger her, she will not visibly look mad; she'll bottle up her anger and get back at you when the timing is right, with the same level of damage. She's a bit controlling and comes off as emotionless at times. She used to study law before she decided to become a guard. She lives with her elderly father in his apartment so that she can take care of him. Her weapon is a pair of nunchucks that have extensions on each side; these extensions are attached to small cups that look like the cups on a scale.

Scorlo is the scorpion. He is a very aggressive person, and he is not manipulative. Out of all the members of the Zodiac, he is the least understood by the public. He is a little bit insecure, so he rubs off as intimidating much of the time. However, he is very determined, loyal and brave. He is very easy to make upset, but he is actually a kind and loving person. He lives in a townhouse with his friends. His weapon is a slingshot that he uses to fire tranquilizer darts. 

Sagi is the archer. They are creative and friendly, and they tend to be optimistic. They are pretty outdoorsy, but they don't really like to travel to far off places. They are a very sweet and nurturing person, and they would be a great parental figure. They can be a little bit too blunt, and sometimes, they're emotionally cold. They have their ways of making their flaws work for them with their innovative skills. They are no stranger to confidence. They live with their wife in a house close to her outdoor gear shop. They are agender. Their weapon is a bow and arrow, but it doesn't fire arrows that pierce people. 

Capri is the sea goat. He's a goal-oriented, ambitious and helpful man. Like Ari and Viga, he can be stubborn. He is also impulsive, but he still works hard to keep everyone afloat. He is normally disciplined and tries to remain calm, but he gets sort of brutal if he's provoked enough. He lives in a beach house with his wife and their sons, one of which is transmasculine. His weapon is a trident with goat horns beneath the three spears.

Aqua symbolizes the water bearer. He is an open-minded guy who tries to bring out the best in everyone. He treats everyone with kindness, and he joined the Zodiac in support of humanitarianism and the general welfare. He has a rather short temper like Scorlo, and he is absent-minded, so he isn't always aware of what's going on. Sometimes, when he's on patrol, he'll head away from his post to do something else for a bit. He lives with his father and stepmother by a river. His weapon is a net cannon shaped like a water bearer's jug.
