Star Sapphire(スターサファイア, Sutasafaia) is a fairy and one of the the Three Fairies of Light, composed of her, Sunny Milk, and Luna Child. She currently lives in a tree close to the Hakurei Shrine with her two partners. She often pranks humans along with her two partners, using her ability to sense animate objects from a distance to her advantage.
Star is often described as having more common sense than other fairies, being calmer, often avoiding fights, and letting her two partners getting caught as she is making her getaway. As her two other partners, she is rather fond of liquors. Star isn't very powerful, her power is to sense animate objects from afar, usually allowing her to know when trouble is coming or when to act during a prank. Unlike her two partners, her power does not weaken at any time, as stars are always present in the sky, even during the day.
Concept
Name
Star's name is based on the element which she draws power from; the stars.
Appearance
Star's appearance goes through some changes throughout the series. At first, in Eastern and Little Nature Deity, she is described having long black hair, a blue ribbon attached to it, and gray eyes, as well as butterfly-shaped wings. She wears a white and blue dress, the top part being mostly white, having a blue shoulder cloth, and the bottom part being blue. She has long sleeves and a blue piece of cloth attached around her waist, attaching as a ribbon in her back. She also wears boots.
From Strange and Bright Nature Deity onwards, Star's hair is brown, and her eyes are now yellow. She wears a frilly blue dress, having a white shoulder cloth and white long sleeves. She also has a small blue string attached as a ribbon at neck-level. In Fairy Wars, her dress is depicted as having stars on it, but these don't appear in her later appearances in Strange and Bright Nature Deity or Oriental Sacred Place
Relationships
Star lives with Sunny Milk and Luna Child in the same house. They often go out together when playing pranks, although Sunny Milk is usually the mastermind of their plans. She, along with her two partners, met a lot of the residents of Gensokyo in their daily adventures. They are also one of the few customers who actually used the services of Marisa's Kirisame Magic Shop, its owner sometimes help the trio, and the opposite as well, although she is also prone to their pranks. They are also impressed by Cirno's ability to control ice, asking her to help with some pranks, but soon after end in a small war against her.

- Main article: Fairy Wars
In Strange and Bright Nature Deity, during New Year's eve, Sunny Milk decides that she wants to bond all the fairies together to cause an incident, Sunny then crushes Cirno's house, along with her partners including Star who follows Sunny's plan and leaving a flag showcasing images of their faces to show their superiority. Afterwards, Cirno sets on sending them a declaration of war, however, the fairy trio believes that it's from the humans and train for the months to come everyday, believing they would soon fight Reimu.
The next spring, they are confronted by Cirno, who was reminded by the fairies flag that they had destroyed her house months prior, resulting in the Fairy War.
Additonal Information
Trivia
- ZUN stated that the reason why he chose Star, Sunny, and Luna as main characters is because the three of them have little fighting ability, yet are much more outgoing than Rinnosuke, making them ideal characters for introducing various aspects of Gensokyo's daily life that Rinnosuke does not participate in.
- Star, Sunny and Luna are the first characters in the series to originally appear in a comic, then later in a game.
- Star Sapphire's nonspells bear a striking resemblance to Flandre Scarlet's final spellcard, both in appearance and mechanics.
- Star Sapphire in her Eastern and Little Nature Deity iteration bears a striking resemblance to Kaguya Houraisan.
Fandom
- Around and after the time Fairy Wars was released, Luna and her partners have started to appear in more fan games as bosses of considerable power/difficulty, with New Super Marisa Land being the first game.
