Star and Bucks

Star and Bucks the podoboos are the two advisors of Princess Espresso, who rules the Coffee Pot Kingdom. Nobody knows much about them, mainly because they prefer to drink coffee and read the newspaper rather than socialize.

Star and Bucks really play their part in the minimanga Tsuki to sora no hoshi (The Moon and the Stars in the Sky) where The Pot is sent into anarchy, because Espresso, Star and Bucks have been separated. Star is in Nuiparenth, the Bone Kingdom, with Princess Veronica, and she befriends the evil queen. Veronica attempts to use Star to guide Princess Lotus to her palace, but when Veronica sends her out, Veronica's boo Daevi leads her out of Nuiparenth and leads her to the war torn Coffee Pot.

Bucks is in Chrysanthemum, the Flower Kingdom, with Princess Lotus Blossom II, and he becomes close friends with her. Lotus treats him to coffee (and she has honey tea) and he never wants to leave Chrysanthemum. Lotus can sense his desire to go back to the Pot, so she has her boo shaman Celeste take him to the war torn Pot.
