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 is Muscle Man's girlfriend. They have known each other since at least high school, where they started dating and went to prom together. As indicated by a tattoo on her lower back, she also dated two other boys (excluding Muscle Man).
She is first introduced in "Muscle Woman", having recently dumped Muscle Man because he can’t express himself, which makes him extremely depressed. High Five Ghost takes Mordecai and Rigby to where she works to convince her to take Muscle Man back, as the latter two have been stuck doing his work, but she ends up falling for Mordecai. Despite being repulsed by her, he briefly dates her so that he can dump her and she’ll go back to Muscle Man. However, when Mordecai broke up with her she became extremely angry and destroyed everything in her path, including a helicopter. After being calmed down by Muscle Man, and finally expressing himself in front of her, they rekindled their relationship.
Appearance
Starla is very similar to Muscle Man in appearance. She is a green humanoid with a heavy build and shoulder-length greenish-brown hair that is half down and half tied into two pigtails. 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 in Bald Spot. As a teenager, she was shown to have been much skinnier with a curvier body, 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.
