Previous Designs[]
Starfruit is a single slice of yellow starfruit. His yellow color fades to the center, where it has five seeds. However, over the course of the series prior to Season 4, his asset is basically two-dimensional, otherwise seen as flat.
BFDI/II Tour 2024/III[]
He has a more rounded shape, with smoother lines and a yellow color, which is lighter at the center, where it has five seeds.
Season 4 (2025; Current)[]
As mentioned before, his previous asset design is flat physicality-wise. Because of it, his design is now three-dimensional and has given flat surfaces on his sides, having visible edges all over the corners of his asset, despite in real life that an actual starfruit, when unsliced, is oval-shaped.
Personality[]
Initially, based on what MePhone4 envisioned his character could be in the first place, he is described as a somber yet passionate person, who is willing to take the opportunity of having fame and recognition by his side. Through this archetype of being notorious to many characters, he and his band were primarily consisting of fruit-based characters, taking center stage to become this series' most popular musical band a lot of characters are willing to see.
At first glance in "Rain On Your Charade", not much details or insights were brought up from him or his band about their concert. All that was ever explained in that episode is how impossible those tickets are to find. However, new details were told about the band in the episode "Mazed and Confused", by assuming that their lead singer, Starfruit, decided to left the band altogether by himself, indicating his lack of dedication and motivation to continue pursuing with the band. This all changed for the better now that he is reunited with his bandmates, and continues to pursue his dream of all the fame and recognition he wanted to have, as a celebrity.
Although, this all changed again, drastically and significantly, once further proof of their purpose to serve as band members of Spoiled Lemon was nothing but a hoax, as revealed in Inanimate Insanity II: The Movie, via one of its acts. Basically speaking that just with every character who was programmed under MePhone4 are all imaginary and none of them have control over their own behavior and character. Meaning to say, every Spoiled Lemon member conceived by MePhone4 have no other purpose, but to perform, with a lot of emphasis on Starfruit relying on popularity and fame since those are the two notable things about him, not as a character, but rather an object, only serving notoriety and recognition to those around him.
By the time Inanimate Insanity IV began, and that the game is returning for anyone participating, Starfruit takes this an opportunity trying to grow as a person rather than someone being idolized for their endeavors and hardships, serving his fans with joy and excitement. And although it seems that he is improving as a character trying to restrain himself from fame, most of the thoughts about how his character in the first place are still stuck inside of him, not allowing him to become his own person but to reminisce the fact about his alleged history of being a celebrity. This is proven to be evident in "Run the Risk!", where Lightbulb mentions about the paparazzi capturing photos of him and still seeing him as a prized possession or an idol, and not a person. Even at this point, any remarks about his fame and recognition won't subside until he is treated normally as a person, and not being used to be idolized by the public's eye.

Trivia[]
- Despite being named Starfruit, he is only a slice of a star fruit, not a whole one.
- According to the June 6, 2021 Q&A stream, Starfruit was very highly considered to debut as a contestant on Inanimate Insanity Invitational, alongside Magnet, etc.
- Starfruit's BFDI/II 2024 Tour asset can be seen in the 10th anniversary poster in 2021. The design was most likely a scrapped redesign for Inanimate Insanity Invitational, as he has an asset more similar to his debut asset in The Reality of the Situation.
