The "Troublesome Star" is a name given to one of the Heavenly Powers among the Parliament of Stars with which Alexandra Quick treated in the Winter of 2011.
This Power converses in "short, sarcastic couplets" that directly addressed Quick by her Name of Troublesome, such as:
- Troublesome vexes, Troublesome woes,
- Twice she has called us,
- But can't say what she knows
- Troublesome's arrogant, Troublesome's rude,
- Troublesome hasn't learned humility,
- Or even gratitude
- Troublesome's fate is written in the stars;
- Troublesome's future is in her hands,
- Her fate lies not in ours
- Troublesome argues, Troublesome pleads,
- Troublesome thinks reality
- Will bend to her needs
- Troublesome has questions, but answers are not free.
- Swear a service to us, and we'll answer
- Three
- Troublesome will take a life, so say the Stars Above.
- Troublesome will save a life, but lose everything
- You love
