Queens of the Old Book (my versions)

Alright, I've been meaning to do this for a while and finally got around to it. I’ve designed my versions of the 26 queens who came before Skywynne! It’s a really long post, but I included pictures, poems, brief physical descriptions, and some backstory for each! I’m gonna draw my favourites again soon. Hope you enjoy.

Mo the First

The very first Queen of Mewni, A destiny foretold By the little man from beyond time, A wonder to behold

Hair: Light brown Eyes: Greek Cheekmark colour: Pink Aureole sign: Warnicorn

Mo was the first Queen and did a lot of things to set up a kingdom. She built the first castle out of wood from the stump that sheltered her and her family, and set out in pursuit of corn. She laid all the foundations for a prosperous kingdom.

---

Cassandra the Overwhelmed

When the entirety of a legacy Is up to you to make, The pressure starts to multiply Which lead Cassandra to break

Hair: Black Eyes: Green Cheekmark colour: Yellow Aureole sign: Tadpole

Cassandra was freaked out by the prospect of running a kingdom and began breaking down after the birth of her child. She did nothing to better her kingdom, and let it fall into despair. It was during her reign that people fled her kingdom and established the Spiderbites, Johansens, and the minor kingdoms like Garbage Beach and the Dock of Unending Torment.

---

Jasmine the Star Chaser

There was no star Within the sky That didn't catch Young Jasmine’s eye

Hair: Dark brown Eyes: Yellow Cheekmark colour: White Aureole sign: Silkworm

Jasmine was a star gazer and started the trend of sky named children. She created the Aureole signs and looked to the stars for answers, which somehow ended up helping her repair the kingdom from her mother’s reign.

---

Andromeda the Shallow

The suitors flooded in the halls And spread throughout the land. Yet Andromeda the Shallow Picked the worst fit for her hand

Hair: Blonde Eyes: Pink Cheekmark colour: Light blue Aureole sign: Hydra

Andromeda had suitors from all sorts of kingdoms, yet she chose the worst political choice (a selfish vain man who just wanted power) just because he was handsome. It was because of his stupid desicions and insistence on growing their land that the animosity between mewman and monster started to grow.

---

Calliope the Musician

The peasants of Mewni hear her call, The music echoing in the hall, And despite the love for her fine tune, Her show was cut off far too soon

Hair: Magenta Eyes: Teal Cheekmark colour: Yellow Aureole sign: Narwhal

Calliope was the first and only Queen to become a songstrel and began the tradition of song-day and the coronation song. Her idea was that the princesses after her would have a song written about them, then give back the sentiment by writing their own song to become queen. She died shortly after her daughter’s song day, leaving her 14 year old daughter to become the youngest queen in Mewni history.

---

Cassiopeia the Indecisive

For Cassiopeia the Indecisive The choices mounted thick. To ease the issues in her mind She called upon Glossaryck

Hair: Pink Eyes: Blue Cheekmark colour: Green Aureole sign: Pixie

Being the youngest queen ever took its toll on Cassiopeia. She had a lot of choices to make as Queen and couldn't handle the pressure, so she called Glossaryck into existence as her advisor.

---

Titania the Explorer

A world awaited beyond the shores And none would be quite bolder Than the girl who left to sail the seas Titania the Explorer

Hair: Black Eyes: Green Cheekmark colour: Pink Aureole sign: Lion Dragon

After getting married and having her daughter, Titania took to the seas and found many islands of Mewni (pie island being one of them). She made most of them part of the kingdom, and didn’t take her responsibilities as queen very seriously.

---

Artemis the Wild

Running all throughout the kingdom, A completely untameable child As bright as the suns upon her cheeks Was Artemis the Wild

Hair: Red/Orange Eyes: Yellow Cheekmark colour: Yellow Aureole sign: Lion Dragon

Artemis was a crazy kid who refused to listen to reason. Since her mother left to explore the sea and her father was stuck ruling, Artemis was left to her own devices for most of her childhood. When she got older, she'd run into battle without a second glance and married the first random guy she came across. During her rule, she made a lot of spontaneous decisions, not always for the best.

---

Terra the Wise

Always calm and always sure The kingdom could depend on her. An answer to every single plight, the Wise knew how to run things right

Hair: White Eyes: Purple Cheekmark colour: Light green Aureole sign: Deadhorse

Terra disliked her mother's way of ruling and took the time to think everything through. She had great reasoning skills and always weighed her options before making a decision. She was the wisest of the queens and never made a bad decision in all the history of her rule.

---

Luna the Fearful

The monsters lurking in the night Filled poor Luna with dread. The swirl of fear and fantasy That must have filled her head

Hair: Lilac Eyes: Purple Cheekmark colour: Purple Aureole sign: Pony Head

Luna was born as the monsters began getting restless. She was terrified that they would attack, but there were no soldiers strong enough to fight for the kingdom. Her fear of monsters evolved into other things, like fear of losing her family, and it caused her to become paranoid.

---

Neptuna the Beautiful

No man or woman on Mewni Could resist Neptuna’s beauty. A treasure of the earth, No gems to capture her worth

Hair: Dark blue Eyes: Light blue Cheekmark colour: Pink Aureole sign: Pixie

Neptuna was a beautiful queen who didn't really do much. Her greatest attempt was trying to charm the monsters into stopping their attacks, which didn’t actually work.

---

Orion Queen of Peace

When beauty alone proved not enough To convince the monsters to cease A temporary solution came from Orion, Queen of Peace

Hair: Pastel green Eyes: Brown Cheekmark colour: Pink Aureole sign: Deadhorse

Orion saw that her mother was unable to keep the peace just through her looks, so she proposed a solution. If the monsters stopped attacking Mewmans and stayed in a certain part of land, the Mewmans would stop attacking them. This worked for a bit.

---

Polaris the Unbalanced

When a system seemed to be in place The scales were tipped too far one way. And the later acts of Polaris Ensured it stayed this way

Hair: Ice blue Eyes: Teal Cheekmark colour: Purple Aureole sign: Hydra

Polaris didn't like her mother's idea of getting along with the monsters so she tried taking more land from them, which they obviously disliked. She doubled down though, making it impossible for anyone to talk her out of it, and started a war. Her ideas began spreading until the Mewni population believed they were the rightful owners of the land.

---

Venus the Sympathetic

When too much fighting lead to blood And it all became too hectic The Queen just had to step away, Venus the Sympathetic

Hair: Orange Eyes: Teal Cheekmark colour: Yellow Aureole sign: Blowhole

Venus was naturally a sympathetic person and found the war took too much on her mental state. She couldn’t stand to see her people suffer, and as a result had to leave Mewni for a bit to travel the multiverse and clear her head.

---

Astrid the Scholar

Every book in the multiverse Was gathered by Astrid’s hand. All the knowledge and wisdom To share within Mewni’s land

Hair: Blonde Eyes: Blue Cheekmark colour: Purple Aureole sign: Tadpole

Astrid loved to read and (just like her mother) traveled the multiverse to gather a copy of “every book in existence”. She wanted to have the most magnificent library ever, and succeeded. She claims to have read every book in her collection, and no one doubts it for a second.

---

Pandora the Trickster

Good intentions, a bit of play, Too much magic, a dangerous day, A prank gone wrong with too much power, All that face it on will cower

Hair: Black Eyes: Blue Cheekmark colour: Red Aureole sign: Demon

The creator of Pandora’s box, Pandora loved to play pranks. Unfortunately, she greatly underestimated her powers and accidentally created the most dangerous box in the multiverse. She hid it in her closet, and it remained there far beyond her death until her great great something granddaughter found it in the ruins of the castle and tossed it in another dimension (probably for the better).

---

Daphne the Overachiever

When doing good was not enough Daphne dreamed of things too grand. She did the absolute most of any Queen to rule the land

Hair: Purple Eyes: Pink Cheekmark colour: Lilac Aureole sign: Hydra

Daphne always wanted to do the best things for her kingdom and went above and beyond to prove herself a good queen. She never stopped at a solution, and would work hard even after the problems were solved.

---

Soupina the Strange

A spell gone wrong is a tragic song Of potential forced to change. The wonders that she must have seen, Poor Soupina the Strange

Hair: Teal Eyes: Yellow Cheekmark colour: Pink Aureole sign: Pig-Goat

Soupina showed the signs of a great queen and a powerful magic wielder, but she got stuck with her mewberty eyes and went mad. She never reached her full potential, and caused a lot of problems for Mewni.

Potato the Comforting

Her heart would always lead her home, Her priorities were straight. So to care for her maddening mother, The kingdom had to wait

Hair: Light brown Eyes: Blue Cheekmark colour: Yellow Aureole sign: Warnicorn

Potato was the daughter of Soupina and was born after she went mad. She didn’t spend much time actually ruling, and instead spent most of her life trying to comfort her mother. During her reign, the mewman monster relation grew worse with no queen to guide them, causing a lot of citizens to act on their own.

---

Galexia the Queen of Change

Perhaps Galexia saw more than the rest For she was certain she was doing her best. Her insistence to categorize creatures so strange Gained her the title, the Queen of Change

Hair: Black Eyes: Brown Cheekmark colour: Blue Aureole sign: Narwhal

Galexia began making huge changes after she claimed there was a difference between demons, monsters, mermaids, etc. It was hard to accept at first, but it caught on, and soon the Waterfolk and Lucitors were accepted as Kingdoms of Mewni. She did this so she could marry the Prince of the Waterfolk.

---

Trinity the Rebel

When the lure of life beyond the wall Is too strong to ignore, The promises of fame and glory Called Trinity back to shore

Hair: Blue Eyes: Green Cheekmark colour: Teal Aureole sign: Demon

Trinity almost didn't become queen because she had run off to the waterfolk kingdom and had no desire to return. She came back a few years later though, ready to be Queen after learning all the perks of being famous. She never took ruling seriously though, and the kingdom fell into even rougher shape. She was also the first “half monster” princess.

---

Serena the Popular

Sometimes the quickest way to peace Is to make yourself loved near and far And the one to break this secret Was Serena the Popular

Hair: Magenta Eyes: Blue Cheekmark colour: Red Aureole sign: Pixie

During Trinity’s time, the smaller kingdoms began to get angry with the Butterflies and started making demands for more power. Similar to her great something grannie Neptuna, she believed that being liked was the way to peace. Unlike “the beautiful”, Serena had to work hard to make herself loved. She befriended the royals of the minor kingdoms and created a sense of unity.

---

Celestia the Mournful

No one knows the weight of loss Celestia the Mournful had to feel. With 3 sons lost and 4 daughters gone She was unsure of what remained real

Hair: Green Eyes: Green Cheekmark colour: Blue Aureole sign: Blowhole

Celestia suffered greatly and kept losing her children before they had even reached their first year, which drove her to question everything she knew. Only her youngest daughter, Gemina, survived and ended up living a long life. Celestia’s sons were named Taurus, Aries, and Sagitar. Her daughters were Caprica, Libra, Virga, and Aquaria. Taurus was the oldest boy and Caprica was the oldest girl.

---

Gemina the Animal Lover

Some say the animals whisper In languages of their own. So Gemina kept them by her side And they guided her on the throne

Hair: Light brown/orange Eyes: Teal Cheekmark colour: Magenta Aureole sign: Narwhal

Gemina was the first (and only) Queen to go beyond speaking alligator and actually found ways of communicating with other animals. She claimed they were very wise, and trusted their council more than that of Glossaryck and the MHC. The only reason she wasn’t deemed mad was because she seemed to be right, and her decisions based on her animal friends often benefited the kingdom.

---

Helia the Direct

Helia didn't have the time To leave the kingdom a wreck, So with a firm and steady hand Became Helia the Direct

Hair: Blonde Eyes: Purple Cheekmark colour: Pink Aureole sign: Deadhorse

Helia had let the kingdom fall into poverty during her early rule, and worked to fix it. She was extremely firm and never beat around the bush, causing many to think she was rather rude. Her blunt attitude was passed onto Lyric, her daughter.

---

Lyric the Short-Sighted

A million futures can exist And for many, this will leave them vexed. But Lyric only sees the now, No need to worry about what's next

Hair: Ice blue Eyes: Ice blue Cheekmark colour: Pink Aureole sign: Pixie

Lyric made all her decisions based on what would benefit her immediately and never considered the consequences of her actions. The two most famous examples were choosing the book of fashion over the book of spells, and giving her daughter the throne at only 17. Throughout her rule too, she made many choices that ended up causing her more trouble in the long run. She let her daughter fix most of these.
