Moonglow
Moonglow is the little girl who brings “Star Shine” to the world. She makes the stars twinkle, and the moon shine. She paints the night sky with her colorful hues.

Nite Sprite
Nite Sprite is Moonglow's faithful Sprite who helps her keep the night sky shiny and bright. He carries with him a large bag which holds all the gold Star Sprinkles that Moonglow uses. Unlike the other Rainbow Land Sprites, he has cresent moons instead of stars on his head. He also speaks "sprite speak" like the other Sprites.
Spelling Controversy
Fan Fact:
Many fans dispute the name for the character "Moonglow" and insist that the correct spelling is without the "W". The correct spelling is "M-O-O-N-G-L-O-W". It was spelled this way both in North America and in the UK. The UK/German Dress-up doll package is spelled "Moonglow", the back of the US Dress-up doll package is spelled Moonglow, The insert in every doll advertised "Moonglow" and in the re-release of the 2004 and 2009 dolls the spelling is "Moonglow". When asked about the spelling, Hallmark has also been the first to say the character's name as M-O-O-N-G-L-O-W.
So, where did the "Moonglo" spelling come from?
It was released in 1987, at the end of the franchise run, so no additional information was released. Most fans will and often do miss-spell the name as they feel it fits the "unique" spellings of the other characters.

Nite
Nite Sprite is Moonglow's faithful helper. This dreamy little sprite grows and protects the glowing color crystals that help Moonglow make the nighttime beautiful in its own sparkling way. There are lots of sprites to create the colors we see in the daytime--but when the sun goes down, it's the Nite Sprite's time to shine! ~ Description via www.RainbowBrite.com
Shimmer
Almost every creature in Rainbow Land goes to sleep at night ... but when the sun sets, Shimmer is just waking up! It's a good thing, too, because without her Moonglow would get quite lonely. Together, Shimmer and Moonglow travel through Rainbow Land brightening the beautiful colors of the night. By morning, when everybody else is waking up, they're both ready for a nice, long nap! ~ Description via www.RainbowBrite.com
