Yuᴗu
As the Star-Child grows older, he becomes more and more obsessed with his beauty and despises anything that is not as beautiful as himself. One day, he encounters an old beggar woman who asks him for help. Instead of showing kindness, the Star-Child mocks and insults her. As a punishment for his cruelty, the beggar woman curses him and turns him into a hideous creature. The Star-Child is then forced to wander through the world, facing rejection and ridicule from everyone he meets. He learns the hard way that beauty is not the most important thing in life and that true beauty comes from within. Despite his transformation, the Star-Child remains arrogant and refuses to change his ways. Eventually, the Star-Child comes across a group of children who are playing by a river. He sees a little girl drowning and, despite his grotesque appearance, he jumps into the water to save her. In that moment, the curse is broken, and the Star-Child is transformed back into his original form.
