Rainbow Brite was a character franchise introduced by Hallmark Cards in 1983; with the animated television series starting the following year.
Rainbow Brite made her animated debut in a syndicated prime-time special, “Peril in the Pits,” first aired on June 27, 1984. Two more two-part specials were subsequently made, “The Mighty Monstromurk Menace” and “The Beginning of Rainbowland.”
In April 1986, Rainbow Brite became a regular series, as part of DIC’s weekly syndicated Kideo TV block; eight new episodes were made for this run. Rainbow Brite remained part of the Kideo TV lineup until May 1987.
Rainbow Brite (originally named Wisp before taking this name) and her white sprite Twink. In one of the books, it is revealed that Twink used to be red, until villain Murky Dismal threw him into The Pits, which drained him of his colors. She wields a magical tool called the Color Belt that produces a powerful multicolored energy force in the form of a rainbow. She can use it for various feats, including enabling Starlight to fly by creating a bridge for him to travel on. Starlite is Rainbow Brite’s talking horse whom she rides as he gallops across rainbows. He calls himself “the most magnificent horse in the universe.” He is white with a yellow star on his forehead, and his mane and tail are rainbow-colored. Starlite’s mane suffers from continuity errors. It sometimes begins as a blue forelock and ends with red at the withers, or vise versa depending on the drawing, show or movie.

When you miss that special someone..

Let there be space in your togetherness,

And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love:

Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

Fill each other’s cup but drink not from the same cup.

Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.

Sing and dance together and be Joyous, but let each one of you be alone.

Even as the strings of the lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping.

For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.

And stand together, yet not too near together

For the pillars of the temple stand apart,

And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.

- “The Prophet” by Kahlil Gibran
