Go To

The Queens of Mewni series proved to be so popular that many fanfic writers made their own versions or sequels to it following the format set by Jgss0109.


    open/close all folders 

Examples Include:

     Common Across Multiple Series 
  • Adapted Out: Many stories ignore Cleaved or have it undone.
  • Missing Mom: In many stories, Aurora dies young due to complications brought on by being a human/mewman hybrid.
  • One-Steve Limit: Many of these spinoffs have characters with similar names to each other, such as Astra, Planetia, Helena, Heliador and Estelena/Estelenia. As well as that, the Age of Downfall is a popular name used on several of the spinoffs for the 'second Dark Age'.
  • Recurring Element: Many spinoffs share similar themes to each other, such as:
    • Queens with similar names, see One-Steve Limit, or similar cheekmarks to each other.
    • A second 'Dark Age'
    • A future monarch paying off the massive debt the Butterfly Kingdom accrued in Queens
    • The first lesbian marriage of a queen, or the first polygamous marriage, or both
    • The first male queen of Mewni
    • A queen defying tradition by marrying a man who is or would be a monarch in his own right. (Although in one case the queen herself never expected to be queen, so not quite the same thing.)
    • The first half monster queen, the first half demon queen, or both.
  • Spin-Offspring: Most, but not all, of these spinoffs begin with Aurora's heir. One begins with an alternate heir for Star instead. Also technically counts as Fan-Created Offspring of Aurora.

  • Abusive Parents: Alaric was beaten by his father, who blamed him for the death of his mother and for interfering in the arranged marriage between Planetia and Dominic. This would form the basis of the first major trial of Planetia's reign.
  • Antagonistic Offspring:
    • One of the biggest mysteries of Mewni is how someone so kind and generous such as Aura the Generous could produce such a monster such as Estelena, the Star of Downfall, who would end up overthrowing her own mother. (Fans point out that she does have a paternal grandfather, the aforementioned Alaric's father, who was a real piece of crap, so clearly she took after him.) At the very end, at Aura's coffin, Estelena would regret everything she did.
    • Estelena would herself be overthrown by her daughter Hyperia for conceiving an illegitimate child.
  • Babies Make Everything Better: averted with extreme prejudice. What ultimately killed Aura was finding out she has a granddaughter she would never meet.
  • Badass Pacifist: Caelia the Harmonious, who had a knack for solving conflicts peacefully.
  • Barrier Maiden: Dimensia's most well known spells involved her making shields and barriers to defend with, and her greatest project was the Butterfly Barrier, which encompasses the entirety of the Butterfly Kingdom. It going down unexpectedly was how Astra knew her mother died.
  • Battle Couple: Dimensia and Guinevere.
  • Because You Were Nice to Me: The reason Asteroida and Bering got closer and would eventually marry, because he apologized to her for the bullying and they bonded over their shared love of danger.
  • Blind Justice: Even after she went blind, Planetia, Queen of Justice would continue to preside over trials
  • Body Double: Aura would have one in Arua, a girl being raised to be a prostitute impersonating Aura. The two of them would become fast friends and swap places often so Aura could see the world without her guard hovering. The resemblance was so strong and their acting skills so good that the only one who ever figured it out was Aura's sister, who was thrilled that Aura was finally 'breaking the rules' and living a little. Turns out Planetia knew the whole time too, but was hoping Aura would confess herself before she confronted them about it. Years later, during her reign, there have been theories that Aura and Arua would continue swapping places so they could both rule AND have time for their humanitarian efforts, but that's never been proven. Even Arua's death by poison involves this, as many believed Aura was the real target and her daughter had tried to kill her to seize the throne. It was actually Estelena's fiance Vulture, who couldn't tell the two apart.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: the griffindragons Mysticus was controlling through a collar, revealed when Dimensia ripped off the collar of his last griffindragon. Unfortunately, it was still crazy, and in its berserk fury killed Dimensia herself.
  • Brilliant, but Lazy: A complaint Glossaryck had was that Estelena, due to her obsession with Vulture and getting the throne, neglected her magic studies, and most of her spells, when she even bothered, were copies of her predecessors' spells.
  • Cain and Abel:
    • Solia to Helena, who stole the wand and usurped the throne on the grounds that Helena was too unstable, and who always seemed to resent Helena for getting all the attention.
    • Radia to Thea, who tried to get Thea kidnapped so she could be heiress to the throne. While fighting, Radia slipped and began to fall, and Thea tried to save her, forgetting until it was too late that she had removed her gloves. Radia would turn into a platinum statue and shatter.
    • When Hyperia attacked Estelena, she aimed right for her mother's pregnant belly, and she would later send an assassin to kill her half-sister.
  • The Cameo: Holly Forest, who appears in Estelena's love rating card with Vulture, is based on the design for Estelena's pre-reboot counterpart, Hokunia.
  • Cane Fu: Thea tended to use her wand, which took the form of a platinum cane, to whack away would be suitors. She would meet her future husband, Huxley, this way when she mistook him for another admirer, when he just wanted to see what she was looking at.
  • Content Warnings: Like for Venus's chapter in the original fic, Glossaryck puts a warning in front of Estelena's biography to warn the reader that the Age of Downfall contains some of the darkest moments in Butterfly history, and advised the reader to take their time reading these biographies. Clarification about what to expect was listed below in the author notes.
  • Cute Mute: Aura the Generous. Some think her muteness was a punishment on Planetia for using magic to seek the truth.
  • Dark Secret: The forbidden Open Book Spell enables the user to find out one of these about their target:
    • Planetia used it against King Yron, and while it's never revealed what that secret was, it was enough to drive him mad.
    • What causes Estelena to sever ties with her mother is using the spell and finding out that Aura was indeed trying to keep Estelena off the throne.
  • Dawn of an Era:
    • Astra the Famed ushers in the Golden Age, which sees the Butterfly Kingdom finally pay off the debt Star accrued and Mewni is its most prosperous. Fittingly, she assumed the throne in 1000 a.M., a thousand years after the Mewnipendence.
    • Estelena the Star of Downfall ushers in the Age of Downfall which sees the Butterfly Kingdom embrace isolationism and reaches low points not seen since the Dark Age.
  • Desecrating the Dead: After Estelena's dead body is discovered, Hyperia tosses it into the Traitor's Ditch, where it remained until the reign of Tempesta, who would give it a proper burial.
  • Drowning My Sorrows: Astra after the death of her husband. She would die of cirrhosis.
  • The Exile: Aura would spend the last years of her life in exile in the Maple Kingdom after she was forced to abdicate. She would spend it still helping the poor, but her husband notes the light had gone out of her eyes.
  • Expy:
    • Ceunia's use of glyphs, dark magic and marriage to a demon is in clear reference to The Owl House. Her father Huxley is clearly based on Gus as well, appereance-wise.
    • Word Of God admits that Asteroida is basically a Gender Flip of Maverick from Top Gun.
  • Foil:
    • Ceunia the Sorceress is one to Hekatia the Necromancer, they both were interested in dark magic and death, but while Hekatia had to learn dark magic on the sly and was more keen in resurrecting the dead, Ceunia was given the tacit and covert approval of her mother to study magic and was more interested in preventing death. And while Hekatia was eventually kicked out of Elfendor for her studies in dark magic, Ceunia refused to go altogether so future generations wouldn't be barred like those in between Hekatia and Vesper were.
    • Aura the Generous to Galaxia the Clairvoyant. Both had a condition that 'othered' them (Aura's muteness and Galaxia's albinism), both were the beloved last monarch of a 'good' age before a darker age, and both had a daughter and heiress that was too problematic to assume the throne, yet did so anyway. Yet while Galaxia knew Venus would cause trouble but refused to supersede her (ostensibly on the grounds of Venus being better at numbers, but likely because her visions saw a worse future if Minguanta took the throne), Aura initially refused to supersede Estelena's claim, but when she saw how bad she would be, would covertly work to try to keep her off the throne. And while Venus did love her mother, to the point of Mercy Killing her when Galaxia was brain dead because she didn't want her to suffer, Estelena seemed to have no love for her mother, might have tried to poison her, forced her to abdicate, and exiled her.
    • By that token, Estelena the Star of Downfall to Venus the Fairest: Both were Star Queens with very troubling behavior influenced by the Toxic Friend Influence of a Redbird. However, while Venus's trouble was promiscuity, Estelena's was an obsessive love for her eventual husband and an eagerness to please him. Venus genuinely loved her mother, enough to Mercy Kill her, while Estelena tricked her mother into abdicating. While Venus, when she did eventually marry, was faithful to her husband despite all the rumors about her, Estelena did cheat on her husband after finding out he cheated on her. And while Venus was able to peacefully abdicate to her daughter and was genuinely mourned by Helia when she passed away, Estelena's daughter would overthrow her and throw her body in a ditch, viewing her as a traitor for her infidelity.
  • Go Mad from the Revelation: Whatever secret Planetia pulled from Yron using the Open Book Spell, telling him it resulted in him losing his mind. Planetia would regret the results, regardless of the fact that she was trying to avenge her mother, and would seal the Open Book Spell away and require the authorization of the MHC to use.
  • Heel–Face Door-Slam: Estelena could have mended her ways after her mother's death, but unfortunately her husband started paying attention to her and seduced her back to her old way of thinking, he proceeded to blame the peasant class for her assassination attempt, and a chance to make amends with her father was stopped in its tracks when he's assassinated before he could reach Estelena, making her think she was abandoned again. There also could have been the chance she could have reformed after she finally realizes Vulture was manipulative and unfaithful, but her desire for revenge overrode her desire for redemption. She would finally do so after she's overthrown and sent running, trying to raise her bastard daughter to be better than herself or Hyperia ever turned out.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Solia, after Helena erased her memory and resentment.Unfortunately, Solia still had followers that tried to put her back on the throne.
  • Heroic RRoD:
    • Thea the Wealthy's overuse of her Midas Touch starts turning herself into platinum, and while a spell by her daughter slowed the growth, Thea would undo the spell and fully turn into a statue to protect her.
    • Ceunia using dark magic in her research caused her recurring health issues and black veins, and when she passed the wand to Asteroida she knew she wouldn't have much longer to live.
    • Using the Golden Vision spell to discover the truth always took away Planetia's eyesight for a period of time, and as she got older the blindness lasted longer until it became permanent. Planetia considered the sacrifice Worth It.
  • Homosexual Reproduction: Dimensia and Guinevere pull this off thanks to a spell that temporarily turned Guinevere male. The public doesn't know about this, and think Astra's conception was a miracle by Celestia.
  • I Never Said It Was Poison:
    • How Caelia proved Sparrow was her secret admirer: when she sang a song composed by 'the Hummingbird of Spring', she paused...but Sparrow continued to sing. Caelia offered a hand to Sparrow to join her on stage so they could sing together.
    • What caused Planetia to realize her mother's disappearance might have been foul play was when she saw a letter of condolence from a foreign kingdom...dated three weeks before Asteroida was legally declared dead.
  • Inferiority Superiority Complex: One of Estelena's flaws is her insecurity, something Vulture exploits to get her to obey him.
  • Irony:
    • Aura, the queen known for her muteness, has one of the longest biographies.
    • Estelena, who disdained the peasant class, and hated Arua for her background as a prostitute's daughter, would end up a peasant herself and turn to prostitution to care for her daughter.
  • Law of Inverse Fertility:
    • Queens of the Dawn Age didn't have the best luck when conceiving heirs. Aurora and Helena had trouble due to being of hybrid heritage, Nova had trouble because she received damage to her uterus during an attempt on her life, and Dimensia was in a same-sex marriage and had to use magic to turn one of them male. Ironically, Caelia had the opposite problem: every time she tried to go on a voyage to the eastern kingdoms to finish her tour, she'd end up pregnant and have to cancel.
    • Asteroida would also suffer complications because of her hybrid heritage and Planetia would be her only child.
  • Lesbian Jock: Dimensia the Guardian, warrior queen of Mewni and the first one to legally take a wife. Her wife Guinevere also qualifies.
  • Maligned Mixed Marriage: Ceunia's marriage to Valentine, both for being a mewman-demon marriage and because Valentine was ruler of the Lucitor Kingdom.
  • The Man Behind the Man: Vulture Redbird's entire plan was to become this for his wife Estelena, and when she no longer played ball, arranged countless assassination attempts on her life so he could rule through their daughter Hyperia instead.
  • Married at Sea: Like her ancestor Polaria, Asteroida, by then an Admiral of the Butterfly navy, married Bering at sea.
  • Morph Weapon: The wand, natch, that turned into these:
    • Helena: an eight pointed star wand
    • Solia: A wand with a star inside a sun.
    • Nova: a telescope
    • Caelia: A flute
    • Dimensia: mainly a shield, though it's noted it turned into other weapons as the need arose.
    • Astra: a five pointed star with a cloth attached.
    • Thea: a platinum cane
    • Ceunia: a long staff topped by a golden moon
    • Asteroida: a rod topped with a winged eye
    • Planetia: a gavel.
    • Aura: a rod topped with a pink shell
    • Estelena: a globe encasing an eight pointed star crystal.
  • Midas Touch: Thea the Wealthy could turn anything she touched into platinum. She would have to wear gloves threaded with platinum in order to touch loved ones, but she also turned her powers to her advantage by converting items into platinum and exporting them, earning enough wealth to pay off the Great Debt.
  • Never Found the Body: Asteroida was last seen being forced into the Mewmuda Quadrangle and disappeared. She would be declared dead four months later.
  • Not Me This Time: For all the sins Estelena did commit in her life, the poisoning of her mother's chief advisor wasn't one of them, despite people believing it so.
  • Only the Chosen May Wield: The last spell Helena cast before passing the wand to Nova was specifically made to enforce this trope, by ensuring that only the Queen, her heiress, or someone pure of heart can wield it.
  • Outliving One's Offspring:
    • Astra would outlive her daughter Radia after her attempt on her sister's life caused her to die instead.
    • Ceunia was still alive when her daughter Asteroida was declared dead. She would remove the spells keeping her alive soon after.
  • Platinum Makes Everything Shinier: Thea's Midas Touch turned items into platinum, which she would use to pay off the Great Debt. Platinum would become a motif throughout Thea's reign.
  • Platonic Life-Partners: Astra's close friendship with the peasant Casey, which never went further as they felt no romantic feelings for each other. Astra's daughter would later marry Casey's son.
  • Playing Cyrano: Alaric would write letters to Planetia as his brother Dominic, all to see Planetia smile.
  • Playing with Fire: Asteroida would have pyrokinesis due to her demon heritage.
  • Pooled Funds: A rumor persists that Thea had done this with the fortune she built for the Butterfly Kingdom after paying off the Great Debt. Glossaryck refuses to confirm or deny it.
  • Rags to Riches: Daughter of a whore Arua is promoted to Aura's lady in waiting after confronting Planetia on her hypocrisy and telling her to punish only herself instead of Aura for their swapping places. She would later become Aura's chief advisor (and translator) when Aura becomes queen.
  • Riches to Rags: After she's overthrown and literally chased out of the palace, Estelena spends the rest of her life wandering Mewni, jeered at by her former subjects happy to see her downfall, and forced to turn to prostitution just to be able to feed Lumenia.
  • Revenge Before Reason: When she realizes how much her husband manipulated and betrayed her, Estelena decided she'd rather have vengeance than mend her own evil ways.
  • Secret Legacy: The content warning before the Age of Downfall implies that the person currently reading the Book of Spells is someone who only recently became aware of their Butterfly heritage.
  • Slap-Slap-Kiss: Ceunia and Valentine, who would fall in love during all their battles against each other.
  • Tampering with Food and Drink: Arua's death was initially thought to be from food poisoning, but tests proved it was actual poison. Suspicion fell on Estelena due to her animosity toward but Arua and potentially mistaking her for her mother. It was her fiance Vulture that did it.
  • Terrified of Germs: A persistent rumor about Thea the Wealthy, due to her refusing to remove her gloves. It was really to hide her Midas Touch.
  • Tough Leader Façade: While many believed Dimensia became emotionless after her mother's death, it's really her putting this front on because the kingdom is only as strong as its leader, as she believed. Only a willow tree is testament to all of Dimensia's frustrations and anger, as it's covered in scars from her attacking it.
  • Tragic Dropout: Downplayed with Nova the Cosmic: while she did have to drop out of Elfendor to assume the throne, she left because the Butterfly Kingdom needed a queen and she needed to find out the cause of her mother's murder. She would eventually return to finish her studies after her coronation, making her the first Queen Regnant to attend Elfendor.
  • Tricked into Signing: Estelena takes advantage of Aura's grief over her close friend's death to trick her into signing an abdication letter and a decree banishing her from the kingdom under the pretense of establishing a new charitable foundation.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: The Magic High Commission granted Estelena permission to use the Open Book Spell because she claimed there was a conspiracy against her mother. This decision more than anything led to the Age of Downfall.
  • Would Hurt a Child: When Hyperia attacked Estelena during the coup d'etat, she aimed right for Estelena's pregnant belly, and Estelena's death was only discovered when an assassin Hyperia sent to kill her half-sister found them.

     Mewni's New Generation by Tsukinekoi 

Disclaimer: Tsukenekoi has announced she will be rebooting the series again due to a mutual parting between her and her co-writer. In addition, she suggested she might change the character of Helena the Usurper due to real life circumstances making Helena's relationship with an older man untenable.

Can be found here, at least until the reboot begins.

  • Adopted In To Royalty: The Fae brothers are an odd example. Their mother was a princess from one of Mewni's neighbors who had gotten pregnant out of wedlock seeking asylum from her father who didn't approve. Because Mewni had aided them recently, Oneira, who was queen at the time cut a deal, the children Oberon and Puck would be born safely in Mewni, disinherited by their grandfather's line, and taken in as adopted children, and their mother sent home soon after. Once Oberon married Demetria, the brothers were stripped of the Butterfly name and give the last name Fae, and Puck was named the first Mewnister of Foreign Affairs. In addition, to honor Oberon and Puck's adoption, the house of Fae would go on to adopt at least one child per generation.
  • Age-Gap Romance: Twilia's husband Whirlpool is 10 years older than her, and Alva's husband Garland is 8 years older.
  • Arranged Marriage: The last Night Queen of the Age of Scandals, Vela the Black Jewel, was arranged to marry one of lord Gael Fields' sons. She ruled out all his legitimate sons (Briton was a bullying Jerkass, Scott was a nice person but The Bore, Irish blew his chances by dumping his girlfriend solely so he can be free and have a shot at becoming king over his older brothers and Welsh was a little kid.) Ultimately, she ended marrying Lord Field's bastard, Eire Plains (later Eire Fields).
  • Comforting the Widow: An unusual example, as Tristan and Morgan were in a triad with Heliador, but the two of them never got beyond light flirting for their own reasons. After Heliador died unexpectedly, though, the two found no one understood their sorrow like each other did, and about a year later, they would legally marry, seeking each other for companionship and support.
  • Dawn of an Era:
    • Alva the Poet would usher in the Age of Arts, a period when Mewnian culture flourished and the debt Star accrued would be paid.
    • Estelenia the Vain would usher in the Age of Downfall, a second Dark Age that saw Mewni in the midst of war with some of the most ruthless or tragic queens to ever sit on the Butterfly throne.
    • Umbria the Chaotic rather reluctantly ushered in the Age of Scandals, an era many saw as a second Age of Downfall, in which all the queens had very controversial reigns that nearly saw the end of the Butterfly Kingdom.
    • Astra the Visionary ushered in a new age, currently called the Enlightenment (though Tsukenekoi suggested she might go back to its original name, the Age of Innovation), in which Mewni enters an age of progress and reform.
  • Emperor Scientist: Three. Astra was a very science-oriented queen, something her son Heliador would continue in his reign. Heliador's granddaughter Demetria would also be very mechanically adept.
  • Half-Human Hybrid: Evenine The Queen of Monsters, much like Meteora II was a half-size-shifter on her father Talgor's side. Oneira The Voyager of Dreams, and Melinoe the Tragic were Demon/Mewman hybrids.
  • Harmful to Minors: Downplayed. Deva the Lover of Nature became a vegan at a young age due to accidentally walking in on the castle chefs butchering animals for food.
  • Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Talgor and Solistica have this dynamic. Of course, being a size shifter, Talgor can avert or even invert this any time he likes, such as this comic where he basically tricks her into letting him into her Victoria's Secret Compartment.
  • Hypocrite: Helena's entire claim to the throne was on the grounds that her half-sister Solina was a bastard, while she was born in wedlock. Years later, she tried to disinherit her legitimate daughter in favor of her bastard daughter.
  • Inadequate Inheritor:
    • Umbria was considered unsuitable as an heir due to having a child out of wedlock, and her older twin sister being much more capable, and only became queen because she was literally the only one left after a tragedy.
    • Umbria's daughter Solina was the elder daughter, but being a bastard, many thought her claim to be dubious at best. Eventually, her younger daughter, Helena (notably born in wedlock), agreed with them, and attacked on the day Solina was supposed to receive the wand, becoming the Usurper and stealing Solina's birthright from her.
    • In a twist of irony, Helena later tried to disown her own daughter Poenza on the grounds of the curse that seemed to affect Poenza and give her nothing but bad luck. Given the implications that the curse went away when Poenza married Solina's son, reuniting the two bloodlines, it's possible the Goddess agreed.
  • Missing Mom: Nightlynn's mother disappeared at the Phantom Isles after her 15th birthday.
  • Morph Weapon: Not all have been revealed yet, but of those that have:
    • Solsticia: a maypole
    • Evenine: a rod with a sunrise on the top
    • Cadenta: a ribbon
    • Nightlynn: a wand with a spiral matching her cheekmarks on top
    • Waxinna: a wand with an apple on top
    • Alva: a quill
    • Lumina: a pillar
    • Vialaxia: a hammer shaped wand with two diamonds as the faces of the hammer
    • Nocturne: a conductor wand
    • Nebulona: a paintbrush
    • Midnight: a camera
    • Moonshine: a Domino Mask
    • Melinoe: a sphere containing a broken heart and chains as the handle (Tsukenekoi specifically notes it's to enable self harm.
    • Helena: A pair of shoes
    • Vela: a wand topped with her cheek marks
    • Astra: a pair of spectacles
    • Heliador: a gauntlet
    • Oneira: a mirror to see into people's dreams
    • Twilia: Initially a pretty standard wand but once she accepted her true self the top blossomed into a crystal top.
    • Deva: a goblet
    • Nightwynne: a staff topped by her cheek marks
  • Polyamory: Heliador was in a relationship with his wife Morgan Lucitor and his knight Tristan. Later Oneira was openly married to Olive Forest and Desmond Cross.
  • Red String of Fate: The 'Her Love' portrait for Estelenia and Jay featured this. Notably, Jay's is dangling down, suggesting his is connected to no one, while Estelenia's is connected to someone off screen, likely her true love, Jay's sister Starling.
  • She Is the King: Gender-Inverted. Heliador the Boundary Breaker took the title of Queen despite being male.
  • Smart People Wear Glasses: Astra the Visionary is noted to be the first queen who needed glasses due to being farsighted, and she's an Emperor Scientist.
  • Superior Successor: In a way, Solsticia The Conciliator was everything Eclipsa hoped for relationship-wise. She ended up openly in love with a monster, even marrying him and her daughter grew up in a happy home and became queen.
  • The Usurper: Helena, on the grounds that her older half-sister was a bastard. She would even be called Helena the Usurper after her death.
  • Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: In contrast to her parents, Evenine has this dynamic with her husband Ophiuchus. Ophiuchus is not complaining.

    History of Mewni by Fan Lover Stars New 

Can be found here

  • Abusive Parents: Mephona just couldn't accept that Plutonia wasn't exactly like her, and kept pushing her to do more physical activities when Plutonia preferred reading, and would put her under house arrest if she failed to comply. She also didn't mince words about how she hated Plutonia's relationship with Aliss either.
  • The Alcoholic: Starwynne the Astronomer was a heavy drinker in her youth, until she swore off alcohol after her mother expressed disappointment in her. She would start drinking again after the death of her daughter, and it was this that ultimately killed her.
  • The Alliance: Thalia the Victorious would lead an alliance of kingdoms against the Wyvern Kingdom when Wyvern's queen declared war if they didn't swear allegiance to her.
  • Antagonistic Offspring: Princess Planetia would join the Knights of the New Order and lead the army against her mother Libra, claiming she would make a better heiress than Amore.
  • Artificial Limbs: After losing her arm during a bearbird attack, Mephona would start using prosthetic arms: first a primitive one, then one made of gold presented to her by the rulers prepared to help her to the throne.
  • Artistic License – Religion: Technically speaking, Plutonia's relationship with Aliss isn't adultery, per se, as Tormund was dead by the time the relationship happened. The semantics probably didn't matter to the angry mob, though, fed up with her tyranny and hypocrisy.
  • Better to Die than Be Killed: Planetia chooses to kill herself rather than face punishment for her rebellion, leaving a note for Libra saying Planetia's blood was on her hands and Amore would ruin the kingdom.
  • Big Brother Is Watching: Plutonia's most devastating legacy.
  • Burn the Witch!: after she and her lover Aliss were caught together (though that's technically apocryphal), Plutonia and Aliss were both burned alive for their adultery. It is, notably, this moment that's commemorated at the bottom of Plutonia's biography.
  • Civil War: One would break out between pro- and anti-Plutonian factions. It would cost Plutonia the love of her people, her husband, her lover, and her life.
  • Comforting the Widow: At some point after Tormund's death, Plutonia's relationship with Aliss became this.
  • The Conqueror: After realizing the monarchs she signed the Charter of Seven with imposed impossible terms on her, Mephona declares war and conquers all the countries involved, as well as others that denounced her war.
  • Custom Uniform: As an act of rebellion, Starwynne would use magic to modify the Elfendor uniforms of herself and her friends.
  • Defeat Equals Friendship: Sort of. Tormund challenged Mephona to a duel for Plutonia's hand, and while he didn't defeat her, he actually managed to injure her, which impressed her enough to give her assent.
  • Dies Differently In The Adaptation: Moon would survive and eventually die of old age instead.
  • Disappointed in You: Thalia having this reaction about Starwynne's rule breaking and partying causes Starwynne to have a change of heart, and she stopped her drinking and rebelliousness that day.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Libra the Equitable considered her mother's punishment for would be assassin Daniel Cross-exile in the inter-time, to be this, as she felt this violated the letter of the law and was unfair to his wife and son.
  • Fan-Created Offspring: Unusually for a spinoff, this one ignores Aurora and creates a new child for Star and Marco, Cassiope the Enlightened.
  • Fantastic Racism: Among the other crimes Plutonia the Religious committed, she also exiled the monsters and massacred those that refused to leave. Tellingly, in the future this would be recognized as a genocide and the night of the massacre would become a day of remembrance.
  • The Fundamentalist: After being kidnapped, Plutonia takes solace in religion, which led her to be called "The Religious", her pushing Celestialism as the 'official' religion of the Butterfly Kingdom (when religious tolerance had been the law of the land since Star's reign) and during her reign she would push a fundamentalist agenda on her people that led to fear and terror.
    "I asked my mother why the mewnians don't observe the precepts of the Goddess, to which she replied that no one cares about them, and everyone does what they want anyway. This is unheard of! It needs to be fought..."
  • The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry: Starwynne and Aquata, stemming from their differing personalities and Starwynne being The Unfavorite of her father.
  • Hypocrite: Plutonia, who is The Fundamentalist and pushed a similar agenda on her people, and who stripped her high celestrine of his position for getting caught at a brothel, was exposed as having an affair with a woman, the woman she replaced her high celestrine with, no less.
  • Inadequate Inheritor:
    • Many considered Kuiper completely unsuitable as Starwynne's successor because he was male. Kuiper himself didn't want the throne and suggested his aunt Aquata take it instead. Fans note that this decision, more than anything, brought forth the Age of Downfall and Mewni would probably have been better off with Kuiper as monarch.
    • Aquata would declare Mephona unfit for the throne due to her love of danger and lack of interest in ruling (that she was technically illegitimate probably didn't help), and would pass the wand to Neptune instead. This would have devastating consequences.
  • Irony: Amore, known as the Queen of Love and mender of broken hearts, would die of a heart attack.
  • Love Potion: Amore, the Queen of Love, tried to improve on Celena's potions and make one of these. It backfired when the bottle broke and the potion spread through the castle, compelling everyone to kiss their lover. She decided to give up potion making after that.
  • Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe: Given how Starwynne didn't resemble either of her parents at all, some speculated that Thalia cheated on Jack. Glossaryck just points out that she looks a lot like Jack's aunt.
  • Marry for Love: After seeing how upset Cassiope was about Moon arranging a marriage for her, Star signed a decree declaring that all Butterfly heiresses would now choose their own husbands, and not be forced into arranged marriages. Popular perception on this decree basically amounted to "it's about time."
  • Morph Weapon:
    • Cassiope: A winged wand topped with her cheek marks
    • Libra: a pair of scales
    • Amore: a key at first, later took on the form of a lock after she awakened her fiance with True Love's Kiss.
    • Thalia: Initially took on the form of a sword, transformed into a pen after she brought peace to Mewni.
    • Starwynne: a telescope
    • Aquata: an amphora
    • Neptune: a necklace
    • Mephona: a dagger
    • Plutonia: An all-seeing eye with wings and a staff.
  • Outliving One's Offspring:
    • Starwynne had to see her daughter and heiress, Ceres, die before her.
    • Mephona lost both her children before her own untimely death, her son from undisclosed causes at a young age, and her daughter when she was burned at the stake for adultery.
  • Rebellious Princess: Starwynne in her youth, who secretly threw parties and drank at them behind the school officials' backs, and revolted against some of Elfendor's rules.
  • Shipping Torpedo: Soliss and Denise Cross tried hard to keep Plutonia and Tormund from hooking up, to the point of intercepting their letters.
  • Slap-Slap-Kiss: Mephona's relationship with Hen takes on this flavor, with them initially hating each other, but bonding during their exile due to mutual interests and experiences.
  • Star-Crossed Lovers: Aquata, the Mistress of the Sea and her third husband, Scorpio Firefly. They had been engaged as teenagers, but Starwynne disapproved of the relationship and wouldn't let them marry, causing Aquata to run away from the Butterfly Kingdom. She would end up marrying King Larry Kelpbottom because she felt she had no choice (him taking her in and showing her hospitality after she got lost at sea), and tried to break off any romantic relationship with Scorpio, only to find she couldn't resist, resulting in the conception of Mephona. They end up separated again when Aquata has to become regent for her son Rigel. It's only after the death of her second husband and her being crowned Queen of the Butterfly Kingdom that she was able to be with Scorpio for good at last.
  • Succession Crisis: When Ceres died, that left Starwynne at the unenviable position of naming her son Kuiper heir, which caused outrage and nearly war when she died. However, Kuiper, who never wanted to be king anyway, and who had been communicating with Starwynne's sister Aquata, invited her to take the throne instead.
  • True Love's Kiss: When an evil witch cast a spell on Amore's fiance Richard, putting him in a deep sleep, the spell was only broken when she kissed him. The act of true love also changed her wand from the 'key' form to the 'lock' form.
  • The Usurper: Mephona the Usurper, natch, who seized the throne on the day her sister was to be crowned.
  • Widowed at the Wedding: Princess Pandora's marriage to the king of the Smith Kingdom ended at the banquet when he was poisoned. When his son Toman threatened war on the belief that the Butterfly Kingdom assassinated him, Pandora talked him down by agreeing to marry him instead. Considering she had been in Toman's company a lot before the wedding, there's speculation Pandora poisoned the king herself so she could get a younger, more promising husband.

Can be found here, with a more complete list of Queens here

  • Abusive Parents: Lumenia tortured and scared Midnight, traumatizing her to the point that she killed Lumenia, not out of any desire to reign, but just for the abuse to stop.
  • Altar Diplomacy: Vialaxia the Astronomer would resort to this, marrying her younger sisters off to heirs of other kingdoms, to strengthen the Butterfly Kingdom's geopolitical and economic ties.
  • And Now You Must Marry Me: Gender flipped. Lumenia the Tyrant was not going to take no for an answer from Skull Johansen.
  • Cain and Abel: Erevonia toward Midnight. Erevonia unfortunately took more after Lumenia the Tyrant, and would try to murder her older sister to get 'her' crown.
  • The Conqueror: Selesteria the Conqueror, who decided that the Butterfly Kingdom needed to control the world.
  • Dawn of an Era:
    • Cadenstelia the Star of Chaos would usher in the Age of Chaos, a period of turmoil that saw matricide, tyranny, and nearly the overthrow of the Butterfly dynasty itself.
    • Alva the Guiding Star brought in the Progressive Age, where Mewni's reforms saw better relations between the kingdoms and the payment of the debt.
    • Norsteria the Queen of Stars would usher in the Age of Powers, a period when the queens of Mewni were at their most powerful and influential.
    • Astre the Enigmatic would bring in the Mystery Age, in which many unusual events occur in the Butterfly lineage (including the first male Queen) and many mysteries about the history of Mewni become solved.
  • Death by Childbirth: Aurora would die while giving birth to her son.
  • Depraved Bisexual: Okay, it's unclear if Tempesta was actually bi, but she wasn't above flirting and seducing girls who dated her cousin Ace to ensure that she'd get Ace to herself.
  • Fictional United Nations: Darlene the Multicultural would found the Crown Jewels, the first time multiple nations united for diplomacy's sake, then later replaced it with the International Council of Mewni. Centuries later, Harmonia the Uniter would form the MewUN.
  • Giant Wall of Watery Doom: Tempesta losing control over her hydrokinetic powers due to a fit of rage caused a tsunami to wipe out Waterson Port, causing massive economic repercussions.
  • Heroic RRoD: Isimera, the Shadow of Dusk, already had a fragile constitution, and using such powerful magic in the Fourth Mewnian War weakened her so much she died at 25, passing the throne to her sister.
  • Homosexual Reproduction:
    • Veleusia the Vain used magic to conceive children with her wife Candice.
    • Arachne the Mistres of Darkness would use potions and spells to produce triplets with her wives.
  • Inadequate Inheritor:
    • Darlene wanted to pass over Selesteria in the succession, due to Selesteria's increasingly extremist viewpoints, but had no choice but to keep her as heiress because Voreana took vows to become a celestrine and Austeana flat out refused due to her own admiration for Selesteria.
    • Ironically enough, the MHC tried to convince Selesteria to bypass Cadenstelia in the succession because they were wary of Cadenstelia's studies into dark and chaos magic. Selesteria refused to countenance that, and was offended they even suggested it, given her own past.
  • Irony: A king with the first name Silver would produce a daughter known as the Gold One.
  • Kissing Cousins: Tempesta would marry her cousin Ace.
  • Matricide: Three of the queens in the Age of Chaos would have this fate.
    • Cadenstelia would be poisoned by Lumenia, who desired the throne.
    • Lumenia would be murdered by Midnight, after years of abuse.
    • Midnight was killed by Tempesta in a fit of rage after Midnight disowned her for sleeping with Ace.
  • Meaningful Name: The Age of Powers, also known as the Age of Empresses, is a period of history where Mewnian queens were at their most powerful and influential, and by quirks of birth saw not only the requisite Star and Day Queens but a Dawn and two Dusk Queens, with the result that Nixia the Midnight Light was the only Night Queen of the age.
  • Parental Neglect: Cadenstelia, the Star of Chaos, cared more about her torture experiments and research into chaos magic to care about her daughter Lumenia. She hadn't even wanted Lumenia, but was blackmailed into conceiving her.
  • Polyamory: Arachne, the Mistress of Darkness, would be in a triad with Marigold Flowers and Russia Fields.
  • Time Travel: Celenether the Time Walker would specialize in this kind of magic. She stopped when she traveled too far into the future and saw 'a princess that would change everything'.
  • Too Many Babies: Viridia, the Mother of Nature, would give birth to quadruplets.
