Marco was curious about Mewni, and Star's magic wand. How the wand becomes the Butterfly's family heirloom? Discovering her best friend's curiosity, Star took Marco to the Grandma room, and told him about the histories and stories of the queens and...
Next to Febe's tapestry, Marco stared at the 9th queen of Mewni.
"So, that's Febe's only daughter?" He asked.
"Yep. This is Festivia the Fun." Star said.
"The fun?" Marco chuckled. "How can she be described as 'the fun'?"
"Why don't you read the pedestal for yourself?"
Festivia's pedestal rose up and glowed.

Festivia the Fun When the threat of monsters at the gate has darkened out the sun, Let the kingdom find some peace of joy in Festivia the Fun
A tall woman with long purple hair wearing green Hellenistic robes and brown boots. Her crown was a tiara with bunches of grapes attached to the ram's horns. Her wand was a goblet of gold and her cheekmarks were purple curved diamonds. Glossaryck was besides her, like the other queens.
"I still don't get it though." Marco read the pedestal many times, which he still didn't get why Festivia was called 'Festivia the Fun.
Star rolled her eyes as she started to tell her friend Festivia's story. "Festivia was born during the First Mud Dweller Rebellion, so Febe kept her inside the kingdom for her safety. But when the Mud Dwellers invaded the Forest Watchtower, which Dirhhennia was there with her family, Febe decided to send Festivia to the Silvan Kingdom, home to an old friend of her parents. The kingdom there was quite different compared to Mewni. The architecture was different, the clothes were different, everything was different! Instead of corn, what was seen in abundance in the Kingdom Silvan were the most varied types of grape."
"Wow, that's explains her crown." Marco pointed Festivia's crown has grapes on it.
"Yeah, it has grapes here." Star explained more. "When Festivia stayed there, she already excelled in the arts of music, singing, poetry, and theater. She also grew a little taller every year and adopted the silvan style of dressing. Two years later, a major accident occurred. Festivia originally has green eyes like her father, which Febe admired them, but when Festivia helped to harvest Grapeppers, a grape typical of the kingdom known for being extremely fiery, when accidentally the juice of the fruit sneezed and struck her eyes."
"Whoa, what happened?" Marco asked.
"Well, her eyes were bandaged, and after three days, she's okay, but her green eyes are now purple, because of the grape." Star said. "So, no one informed Febe about this."
"Febe would be so upset when she finds out that her daughter's eyes are no longer green, like her father's."
"Not actually. When Febe announced the end of the Mud Dwellers Rebellion, she's happy to see Festivia safe and well. She didn't really mind of her eyes anymore. Secretly, she was quite disappointed."
"It doesn't make sense to me why Festivia was called 'the Fun'."
Star got irritated when Marco asked the same question. "Alright, Marco. You wanna know why she was called 'the Fun'? I'll tell you. She always entertained her mother to cheer her up. When she got her magic wand, she used her own spells more for entertainment purposes than to protect her kingdom. Festivia was the creator of the Rubber Sparkle Bounce House and Foaming Twinkle Bubble Ripple spells. She also used to summon any kind of drink in her goblet."
"Wow, that would be so cool. You know, Festivia reminded me so much of you, Star. You used your spell for fun."
"Hey, I used my spells to fight monsters too."
"Is Festivia always this happy and fun?"
"Not all the time. Festivia had a relationship with Trojan Fields, which upsets her friend who came with her in Silvan Kingdom, Quartz stone, so he was in a relationship with Petunia Flowers. Then, festivia heard a private discussion between her mother and the Stone brothers. She heard her mother that she can't make choices for Festivia. She wanted to see Quartz again, but he's with someone, which this upset Festivia so badly. She just kept smiling, until she reached her room and cried."
"I guess 'the Fun' has sadness too, huh?"
"Everyone has, Marco." Star reflected Festivia's situation since Star herself has the same experience. "But Festivia and quartz are together again, married, which Festivia planned her own wedding, and it became one of the largest wedding parties in Mewnin history. Althoguh there's a Second Mud Dweller Rebellion after a year."
Marco growled. "Mud Dwellers. There's so dangerous! First, they nearly killed your mom, then Roman Forest, and now, Festivia?"
"Hey, Festivia didn't die there. Quartz led the army to attack the Mud Dwellers, but she still want to make people feel entertained. From then on, Festivia would go out every morning from the castle, going to the citizens of Mewni in every house and street, to bring a pause to their misfortunes. To see a child who was once frightened now smiling made Festivia finally feel 'useful' to her people. Festivia also invented in all artist of the kingdom, from mimes and jesters to singers and musicians to help her in her duty to keep the people happy and distracted. It was from this period that the queen began to be recognized as 'Festivia, the fun'."
"Now, that's what I've been waiting for!" Marco exclaimed."That explains why Festivia was called 'the Fun'."
Now, you understand why she is called 'Festivia the Fun'?"
"I do."
"Great. Just so great."
"Are there more things that I should know?"
"Uh, well, it's not important, but I'll tell you anyway. With the end of the Second Mud Dwellers Rebellion, Festivia could finally give a follow-up to her government in times of peace. Agriculture of the Kingdom Butterfly had also been greatly affected by the war, which led Festivia to make economic agreements with several kingdoms: Clifford Kingdom seafood, Coconut Kingdom coconuts, Pigeon Kingdom grains, and, of course, the grapes and drinks if the Silvan Kingdom."
"Huh, a party queen Festivia was."
"I wish I can be Festivia, Marco. Like what you said, I can run Mewni my way, the same as what Festivia did."
