Stella/Relationships

== Family ==
===Stolas===
Stolas was married to Stella, but the two are implied to have never got along with each other, with their marriage having been arranged when they were both children. As shown in a flashback, Stolas was shown to be frustrated that Stella did not want to comfort Octavia after she had a nightmare. When she found out that Stolas had an affair with Blitzo, she became furious at him, calling him an embarrassment and a prick. Statements from Octavia imply that the open hostility that Stella and Stolas show to each other was only a recent occurrence, likely due to Stella's recent discovery of Stolas' relationship with Blitzo.
In a "The Harvest Moon Festival", it is revealed that she had hired Striker to assassinate him for his infidelity.
In "Ozzie's", Stella is not seen in their mansion, and it is implied that she moved out; she later admits to Stolas that she enjoys returning to their home in order to torment him.
In "The Circus", a flashback sequence prior to Stolas having a relationship with Blitzo showcases how Stella enjoyed publicly humiliating and insulting Stolas at parties with her friends, often questioning his sexual performance and physical characteristics. 
Upon Stolas confronting Stella about finally going through with a divorce, Stella was shown to be shocked at the declaration. Stella's further attempts to emotionally and physically rebuke Stolas failed. Stella expressed frustration over losing her power over Stolas, and begrudgingly agreed to leave, but not before swearing that Stolas would pay for his actions. Furthermore, during this encounter Stella attempted to physically strike Stolas, only for Stolas to block the attempted strike, which left Stella shocked. This may suggest that Stella has physically abused Stolas in the past.
In "Seeing Stars", she argued violently with him over the phone over the relocation of her possessions out of Stolas' mansion. Stella was furious of hearing Stolas telling the movers to break her things to make it fit in the truck, and how Stolas spelled out that she was acting like a bitch. Stella swore she would take everything Stolas owns.
In "Western Energy", Stella and Andrealphus arranged a meeting with Stolas in order to discuss the terms of their divorce. During this meeting, Stella and Stolas throw numerous insults towards each other. Andrealphus uses the excuse of Stolas' infidelity as to acquire more from him, however Stolas rebuked their argument with how Stella never really cared about him in the first place and thus no betrayal ever took place with his cheating.
As implied, another reason to her inviting Stolas to tea was in order to arrange for his assassination. As shown where Stella gave Stolas a smug grin upon seeing him get attacked and kidnapped by Striker. Later, in her brother's home, Stella confirmed that she arranged the whole thing.
As shown from her conversation with Andrealphus, Stella's hatred for Stolas is to the point that she gave little thought to the full repercussions of what would happen to her when he dies. As shown where she was completely focused on the satisfaction she would feel after having him killed that she completely neglected to think of how she will receive nothing from Stolas' will and everything he owns will go to her daughter. Causing Stella to begrudgingly agree to her brother's suggestion to spare Stolas and wait for a time to benefit more from him alive.
===Octavia===
Stella is Octavia's mother, however it is unknown what their relationship is outside of being blood related. Based on the amount of screentime that Stella has had so far, Stella has not been shown to be an effective parent, but may still hold positive or neutral feelings for her daughter.
In one past event, Stella was shown as being unwilling to get out of bed during the night to comfort a child Octavia after she had a nightmare when she was a child. Whether this is due to her being disinterested in tending to Octavia, or her merely being too fatigued and simply pushing the matter to Stolas, is unknown.
In the present, Stella and Octavia have not been shown to interact with each other on-screen. Octavia hinted that her relationship with her parents was much more open and loving as a child, before they started fighting. 
However, in "Ozzie's", Stolas reveals Octavia is staying with Stella during the weekend, this may imply that Stella has shown a degree of care or support for her daughter, and wishes to maintain a relationship. However, it is possible that Octavia is simply being forced to visit Stella.
In "Seeing Stars", Stella is openly against the idea of Octavia being turned against her, becoming verbally angry at the thought that Stolas might try to turn Octavia away from her. It is unknown if this anger stems from a genuine fear of losing her daughter's affection, or as a more cynical concern of losing control.
In "Western Energy", it is only through Andrealphus' input that Stella learns that her daughter stands in the way of her inheriting the Goetia fortune should Stolas die, to which Stella shows to only care about killing Stolas. This at least indicates that Stella wishes no harm upon her daughter in spite of admitting she would indeed want some kind of settlement from Stolas.
===Andrealphus===
Stella has been shown to have a fairly affectionate relationship with her brother, however Andrealphus is also quick to insult her when she acts irrationally. Stella, on her part, shows little umbrage at her brother's insults, indicating actual affection and respect for him in spite of him insulting her to her face regarding her rashness and lack of foresight.
In "Western Energy", they converse together about their plans for her husband, to which Andrealphus insults Stella several times when she becomes impulsive about her plot to immediately assassinate Stolas, as he wishes to remain discreet and patient as to profit the most from him. Stella, albeit begrudgingly, is swayed by Andrealphus to call off the hit on Stolas, in spite of her wanting her husband dead, displaying she is more agreeable to her brother even when it conflicts with her own wants and perhaps acknowledges the sense and logic of her brother's words.
== Others ==
===Blitzo===
Stella and Blitzo have very little screen time together, other than in a flashback where Blitzo falls off of a balcony and lands next to Stella and her friends, to which he simultaneously confesses and apologizes that he had sex with her husband, Stella proceeded to ignore the imp and focus on her husband.
Due to his status as an imp, Stella has an increasingly low opinion on him, especially since he was the imp who her husband cheated on her with, and as such throws various demeaning comments about him whenever mentioned.
===Striker=== 
At the end of "The Harvest Moon Festival", it was revealed that Stella has hired Striker to kill Stolas.
The relationship between Striker and Stella is unknown, but is believed to be a professional one; it is also implied that Stella did not take Striker's failure to assassinate Stolas very well, with her ordering Striker to redouble his efforts and kill Stolas by any means necessary.
Stella appears to have at least some appreciation for Striker's services, referring to him with endearments when she called to postpone Stolas' assassination in "Western Energy".
