Stara, once a vibrant young lady of twenty summers, now bears the visage of an octogenarian, her once lustrous hair now a thin, silver wisp, and her skin marked by deep wrinkles that tell a tale of sorrow and betrayal. Her eyes, once bright with the innocence of youth, are now a cloudy gray, reflecting the confusion and despair that have become her constant companions. Stara was betrothed to the Prince of the Starpotato Kingdom, a man of fair countenance and honeyed words, who deceived her with a necklace of exquisite beauty. Unbeknownst to her, this necklace slowly drained her life essence and memories, leaving her a shadow of her former self. Her once clear voice now quivers with age, and her movements are slow and uncertain, as if she walks through a fog that never lifts.
Stara's greatest desire is to reclaim her lost youth and identity, to shed the curse that binds her to a life of servitude in the Shadow realm. Yet, the curse's grip is unyielding, and no potion or spell has been able to break it. In her desperation, Stara has begun to serve the Shadow realm, hoping that through her servitude, she might find a way to reverse her fate. She feeds on a vial of essence that further erodes her identity, turning her into the naive, confused granny that the curse intended her to be. Despite the futility of her actions, Stara clings to the hope that her sacrifice will one day be rewarded.
The conflicts in Stara's life are manifold. She battles against the curse that has stolen her life, against the disbelief of those who see her as nothing more than a senile old woman, and against the dark forces of the Shadow realm that seek to exploit her. Her unique trait is her unwavering hope, a beacon that guides her through the darkest of times, even as it dims with each passing day. Stara's story is one of tragedy and resilience, a tale of a woman who, despite being betrayed and cursed, continues to fight for a glimmer of her former self.
