Starla Gutsmandottir-Sorrenstein is a recurring character in Regular Show. She made her debut in the episode Muscle Woman as the main antagonist. She works at Icy & Hot Jewelry Apparel and she is married to Muscle Man.
History
Starla was first introduced as Muscle Man's ex-girlfriend. When first meeting Mordecai, she began to develop a crush on him. As indicated by a tattoo on her lower back, she also dated two other boys (excluding Muscle Man). When Mordecai broke up with her (after briefly dating her), she became extremely angry and destroyed everything in her path, including a helicopter. After being calmed down by Muscle Man, they rekindled their relationship.
It’s shown that Muscle Man and Starla went to high school together where they have dated for a short amount of time.
Appearance
Starla is a green humanoid with shoulder-length brown hair that is half down and half tied into two pigtail. She is about Muscle Man's build and is very similar in appearance. She typically wears a plain white long sleeved shirt in which her stomach hangs out of, a bluish-purple skirt, red lipstick and a pair of black shoes. She has only dressed up differently on a few occasions, such as when her, Muscle Man, and her parents had dinner at Bistro en le Parc, and when she went rollerskating with Muscle Man inBald Spot. As a teenager, she was shown to have been much skinnier and sported a different hairstyle. It’s unknown how she acquired her green complexion. She’s 4'9" although during the high school flashbacks she looks taller than she’s now.
During the 25 year park reunion, she wears a purple dress, and her hair is still in two pigtails, only most of it is tied up instead of being half down and half up, and her bangs are styled different.
Personality
Starla's personality can best be described as tough-as-nails. She will do almost anything to get revenge on someone who wrongs her and will gladly fight for her boyfriend, Muscle Man. Although she is often given more protagonistic appearances, she sometimes can be an antagonist as well. She practically destroyed the entire park in an attempt to get revenge on Mordecai for dumping her in "Muscle Woman", and she mercilessly broke Mordecai and Rigby's bones in a mud wrestling match in "Tent Trouble". Despite these two instances, however, she is often seen helping somebody out (Specifically Muscle Man). She willingly helps her boyfriend fight a bunch of evil waiters in "Fancy Restaurant", and she even encouraged him to win a hot dog eating contest against Death in "Last Meal". Also, despite being angry with him before, she now seems to be on good terms with Mordecai.
Skills/Habits
Much like Muscle Man, she has superhuman strength, especially when she is enraged. In "Muscle Woman", she is shown to be strong enough to chase Mordecai and Rigby while they are on the golf cart at high speed and generate massive shockwave with her stomping.
Relationships
Love Interests
Muscle Man
Starla and Muscle Man's first relationship went on for a while. In "Trucker Hall of Fame," it is shown that their relationship went back from High School, since they were prom dates. They ended up taking a break from each other for an unknown time. They began dating again, only for Starla to break up with Muscle Man once again due to the fact that he wouldn't show his feelings. After he finally complied to her wishes, they returned to each other and are currently in a strong and unbreakable relationship.
