Biography

In the episode "The Five Finger Discount," Jude Lizowski falls in love with a talking leather armchair named "Betty," and his friends Nikki Wong and Wyatt Williams attempt to find him a human girlfriend in order to make him forget about the chair. Although they are unsuccessful in finding him a date, a heartbroken Jude meets Starr following Jonesy Garcia's sale of Betty. The two were immediately drawn to one another, as Starr understood Jude's predicament, whereas others had merely dismissed his attraction to Betty as bizarre and unsettling; like him, she was previously attached to a treasured piece of furniture – her desk lamp – which her mother threw away.

Jude and Starr went on their first date in "The Khaki Girl". They decided to watch a movie together at the Gigantoplex Theater, but Jude was uncertain as to how he should engage her in a kiss should the situation arise, so he consulted Jonesy for advice. The outing ended badly, however, as Jude vomited into her mouth after eating spoiled meat. While traumatized by the event, Starr would eventually overcome her embarrassment and forgive him. The incident is revisited in "Dude of the Living Dead," when Jude again throws up in her mouth during a kiss, though the boy was actually dreaming.

In "Deadbeats Poet Society," Starr helped Wyatt quell his anger over being dumped by his ex-girlfriend Serena by introducing him to a poetry group in the Grind Me coffee shop.

Jude and Starr briefly broke up on account of Jonesey's meddling. ["6teen". "Losing Your Lemon".

Realizing his mistake, Jude quickly reconciled with Starr.

In "Lights Out," Starr went goth and changed her name to "Nebula". She joined three other teenagers who shared her new interest – Morgana, Marilyn, and Axe (Morgana leads the goths) – but her goth persona put strain on her relationship with Jude, who was disturbed by her appearance, especially her gargoyle lip piercing. Nonetheless, Jude tried to cope with the change in his girlfriend, and assumed a goth persona himself under the name "Judas" to impress her. While touched by his considerateness, Starr chose to end her relationship with Jude, though both agreed to remain friends.

Starr is employed in the Galleria Shopping Mall as a roller-skating cashier at the Vegan Island eatery.

Personality

Starr is a practicing vegan, and frequently comes up with original recipes for her job at Vegan Island. She is open to new ideas, and often explores New Age-related activities.

Starr enjoys telling stories, despite being perceived as boring by most of "6teen"'s main cast. Like Jude, she is interested in skateboarding and fountain diving,"6teen". "The Khaki Girl".

As a goth, Starr adopted a more depressing outlook on existence, and worshipped Death. She was adamant that her new lifestyle be accepted, despite the fact that she recognized contradictions in what she believed it meant to be goth. R-rated horror movies did not frighten her, and she dismissed one such film as "juvenile".
