Looks: Stella has mid-length dark brown hair that she allows to grow long since she doesn't have the time for haircuts, magical or not. Her eyes are bright deep ocean blue and big, always alert. She is slim and athletically graceful due to years of dancing and stands about 5'4".
Personality: Stella is one of those people who walks a fine line of doing what she thinks is right or taking the easy way out. She's courageous, adventurous and brave, true to her house words, but sometimes questions the life choices she has made. She wants to do more with her life than marry young and have a large family, as her parents and sister have done so far. She itches to explore the entire world, and the thirst won't be satisfied until it's completed. She's stubborn and headstrong, but will defend someone with all she has if she believes in them. She is fiercely loyal to her family and friends, but is sometimes quick to judge others by her first impression of them. She is slowly learning though that people can be very different on the inside than how they seem outside.

Brief History: Stella is the second child born to Hogwarts alums Talisa and Thomas, who met through the Dueling Club at Hogwarts when they were thirteen and fourteen respectively. The strife between houses had softened slightly by then, but Talisa was still wary when this older Ravenclaw boy decided to pursue her. After a year of playing hard to get, she allowed him to escort her to Hogsmeade, and they never looked back. Once graduating from Hogwarts, they decided to not wait to marry, and became husband and wife just three months post-graduation, much to the displeasure of their parents. Thomas studied to become an Auror under the tutelage of ageing legend Harry Potter, and learned quickly the ins and outs of the job. Just one year after their wedding, Talisa discovered she was pregnant, and gave birth to their first child Bridget in 2043, followed by Stella three years later.
Talisa gave up her budding career as a Daily Prophet journalist shortly after Stella's birth to concentrate being a stay at home mother and raise her three girls with the tender motherly care she did not get when growing up, as her parents believed in the power of nannies and au pairs. As Talisa's parents cut her off when she ran off with Thomas, Stella was raised in a middle class flat in Canterbury, England. Talisa would take them on excursions to the historic parts of Canterbury, as well as take them to Muggle films and concerts, to properly show her daughters what Muggle life was like. The year before Stella was to go off to Hogwarts, Talisa discovered she was pregnant a third time, though she and Thomas had not been trying. She gave birth to three boys in late August, and was unable to see Stella off on her first year at Hogwarts, nor take her to Diagon Alley. Bridget took her sister under her wing, understanding how let down Stella was by her parents inability to be there for her, and made sure that Stella knew that their parents loved them, even though they couldn't be there. Stella was always attached to Bridget because of this, and was disappointed to be Sorted into Gryffindor, not Slytherin like her sister. Even so, she was able to make friends and develop her own sense of identity through the years.
Future Plans: After Hogwarts, Stella plans on traveling the world, finding work in a foreign country as a Herbologist before maybe someday coming back to settle down on her own. Though she loves her sister, she does not plan on marrying right after school.
