With her is Nite Sprite, a very dark navy blue Night Sprite who carries her Gold Star Shine crystals for her.

While Moonglow didn't play a huge role on the TV program, she was a popular character in Germany, and we will bring you more about this character soon.

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?

The package for the VHS Tape "Invasion of Rainbow Land" included the episode "Rainbow Night" and lists the character as "Moonglo". This was a single misprint as it was on the "Starlight/Starlite Saves the Day" Golden Book.

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.
