Stella Nox Fleuret Stella Nox Fleuret was a character that appeared in promotional material for " Final Fantasy Versus XIII " before it was reworked into " Final Fantasy XV " . Her design was reworked into the character Lunafreya Nox Fleuret , who serves a different role in the story than was planned for Stella . Rather than disappoint users by including a Stella that didn ' t match what they expected from the early reveal trailers , the developers went with a different character altogether . This way , they could also focus on creating a character that ' s their own . There was no new information on Stella since the game was rebranded " Final Fantasy XV " . When asked about Stella , director Hajime Tabata has replied : " Sorry , I can ' t [ reveal anything about Stella ] ( laughs ) . But after the release of " Final Fantasy Type - 0 HD " and " Final Fantasy XV Episode Duscae " you can expect some new and interesting information about the story . " On June 4th 2015 it was publicized Stella would not appear in " Final Fantasy XV " . Profile . Appearance . Stella had long blond hair with side - swept bangs , round pale blue eyes with purple aspects around the iris ( which , at one point in development , became purple irises outright ) and wore small silver star earrings . Her regular outfit consisted of black top , skirt , and belt , and a white sleeveless bolero . Her party outfit consisted of a white sleeveless top and a long skirt , complimented with white shoes . Personality . She had an honest and polite attitude , but was assertive and true to her beliefs due to her upbringing . As demonstrated in the Tokyo Game Show footage , she was direct and did not shy away from her problems , as opposed to Noctis , who is more reserved . According to character designer and director for " Final Fantasy Versus XIII " Tetsuya Nomura , Stella would " stand out " in some way from the other female characters in the series . Abilities . Like Noctis , Stella could materialize weapons from thin air , as she summoned her rapier from a rune similar to one used by Noctis to summon his sword , though Stella ' s rune was golden while Noctis ' s was blue . Story . Stella would have met Noctis at the signing ceremony between Lucis and Niflheim , where a great deal of their connection would have been revealed . Stella was a member of the wealthy Fleuret family and resided in the land of Tenebrae . After a near - death experience early in her life , similar to Noctis , Stella could see the light from the Kingdom of the Dead , which granted her special powers . She was shown to reluctantly fight Noctis in an early trailer , wielding powers similar to his to forge weapons from thin air . Her relationship with Noctis was to have been platonic rather than romantic . Gentiana ' s original role for " Final Fantasy Versus XIII " was that of Stella ' s messenger , and a contact point between the countries of Tenebrae and Niflheim . Creation and development . Stella ' s appearance underwent changes since she was first unveiled . Tetsuya Nomura has commented there being no specific reason he redesigned her look , other than wanting to make her prettier . When Nomura created Stella back in 2007 , he actually created something that was not his type of character , but overtime he grew fond of her . Stella initially had long , layered blond hair with a side - swept bang . In the trailer shown at the DKS3713 event , Stella wore silver stud earrings , an open short - sleeved white cardigan over a black corset - like top with a frilled black skirt and black knee - high boots . Creative Director of Roen and clothing designer for " Final Fantasy XV " , Hiromu Takahara , designed the cocktail dress and ankle boots worn by Stella during her conversation with Noctis . Hiromu Takahara originally wanted her dress to be black , but the production team changed the color to create a greater contrast with the black suit Noctis wears in the same scene . After " Final Fantasy Versus XIII " was rebranded " Final Fantasy XV " the team had to decide which elements to keep from the original story to ensure a coherent story for a single game . The team had wanted to keep Stella and pursued ways to tie her into " Final Fantasy XV " but struggled to make sense of her character and role within the new game . After a lot of consideration , the team decided not to include Stella and go with a new character named Luna , who has a different role in the story . Developers felt uncomfortable working on a well - known character if they had to completely change their role , and this is why they decided to change the character . Etymology . " Stella Nox " are two Latin words that would mean , albeit incorrectly inflected , " Night Star " .
