I've said this once, and I'll say it again- Star is a badass. Can you imagine the strength that this woman possesses??
It's pretty obvious she was turned against her will since she refuses to complete the transformation, but the fact that she is consistently being put through what we can see is an obviously toxic power imbalance with constant goading and growing temptation and the fact that she never cracked? Legendary. Michael could barely contain himself after what? A week? A few days? While we don't know how long Star has been a half, we never even see her vamp face because that's how much self control she has. LEGENDARY.
The pure sense of self that she has. This is shown through how morally strong she is and also through her wardrobe. Michael quickly adopts a leather jacket to fit in with the Lost Boys, but Star sticks out like a sore thumb among them even after being apart of their group because she refuses to conform (lmao) to their punk aesthetic and- YES
She is the only one who doesn't try to trick Michael. Sure, she flirts with him and it's stated that she was going to originally try to eat him, but Star is the only one of the vampires that is openly honest with Michael. She offers any information that she has, and not only tells him that the bottle has blood in it but that he's a half.
Her protecting Laddie makes me so soft like ik it was borderline misogynistic to pair her with a kid, but that scene where she goes "He's just a little boy!" Really shows how brave she is. These are two kids who have already killed Marko by this point, so they're at least semi-dangerous especially with stakes and holy water on them. Yet, she uses herself as a shield and purposely puts herself in harm's way. This shows a crap ton of bravery, but also what I would say is her defining trait- her compassion.
SHE initiated the first kiss in the movie and all I have to say is that's rare as hell in movies, especially ones from the 80s so I gotta give her props for taking the initiative
I could go on but basically- I love Star and she's actually a really great character so can we please give her more love
