Stella (MLU)

"Thank. Yhou."- An undead Stella to her living boyfriend, Will, after she saves him from Walter Burns's remaining allies. 
Stella is a minor, but notable character in the "Miracula Luxia Universe".
Being the daughter of an esteemed and rich family, she has never lacked anything, except for attention. Having only a few true friends amongst her own peers, she has found true care and love in the eyes of her beloved Will, even though her parents warned her to stay away from him. Their love was at first sight, and her promise to stay beside him will always burn bright, even in the moments when she is not around.
Stella is the late girlfriend of William Kaos, as well as his former chosen candidate for a future wife. Despite the fact that he cannot marry her anymore due to her condition, however, Will still deeply loves Stella and considers her to be his girlfriend, even in her undead form.
== Personality ==
Due to her family's environment and the lavish life that she has, Stella can be a little timid and shy when dealing with others. She dislikes most adults and thinks that their sole mission is to ruin the lives of every child around the world.
However, her personality is different when it comes to communicating with her peers. She can be quite friendly with them and is known to have always lend a ear to their problems, even though she cannot solve them herself.
Stella is not fond of risking her own life for others, considering it to be "too scary" for herself. However, when a certain loved one is in danger, she will do her best to drag them out of the darkness, even if it means to put her own life on the line.
In her undead form, Stella still undergoes the growth process of humans. Around the time when Will finds her, she is already around his age, if not as old as him. This is something that never happens to the rest of the Undead, as it is shown that they remain at the same age in unlife, no matter how many years fly by.
As a reanimated person, Stella retains most, if not all, of the fragments of her human personality. She shows no hostility toward others (especially her boyfriend- Will), standing in place and thinking to herself as if she is still a human being. Despite the fact that most of her communications happen via growls, she is still capable of uttering human words, albeit with notable difficulty.
Most notably, Stella is still capable of extreme emotions. For example, when members of Walter Burns- her killer- 's former group attempt to take their revenge on him, she instantly goes berserk and mauls many of the outlaws to death, protecting her boyfriend without a second thought. 
In addition, when Anna Grayson is overjoyed to see Will and lovingly embraces him, the undead Stella becomes instantly jealous, growling menacingly at Anna as a sort of borderline warning. Though she is smart enough not to attack a friend of her loved one, it is unknown what might happen if she manages to lose control when her undead instincts temporarily take over.
All things considered, Stella is a friendly, outgoing and understanding young woman, but her lavish life gets in the way of her true feelings, turning her into a being similar to the ones who are responsible for creating her. As an undead, she can be a little bit jealous and mercurial, but it is clear that she still cares about her beloved Will, revealing that her love carries beyond the grave.
== Battle Expertise ==
Stella has no expertise in weaponry or battle magic. However, she is capable of using a small amount of healing magic. And yet, it is only capable of soothing a person's wounds, not to save them from the imminent doom.
== Death ==
=== Killed By ===
* Walter Burns (Alive)
While Stella is attempting to take a bathroom break, she is captured by the ship robbers and tortured by their leader- Walter Burns. However, she deftly manages to escape from their grasp, allowing Will and Geralt to fight back against them.
A while later, she is captured by Walter personally and is forced to watch her beloved Will struggle with two robbers. Not willing to let him suffer alone, Stella breaks free again and rushes to help the love of her live fight off the two villains.
Although she manages to kill both of them with her needles, she fails to realize that Walter is still trying to execute her. When she turns around, Walter swiftly shoots her in the stomach, preventing Geralt from saving her in time and causing massive blood loss for the young woman.
As Geralt desperately attempts to save her from the jaws of demise, Stella falls unconscious. He does his best to keep her alive, but his efforts are always met with futility. Soon, Stella succumbs to her wounds and dies in his arms, her last fragments of life fading away just before he could succeed.
Later, as Will and Geralt drag her lifeless corpse to Sunrise Sanctuary, she reanimates. Will discovers her undead self on the island later on and attempts to put her down. However, due to the fact that he still misses her a lot, he is unable to pull the trigger, allowing her to roam as an Undead until he is able to come back.

== Trivia ==
* Stella's name is of Latin and Italian origin. It is derived from the Latin word "stella", simply meaning "star", but can also mean "celestial star" and "star of the sea."
** In the "Miracula Luxia" universe, it also means "child of the stars".
* Stella is the first character in "MLU" to die.
* Stella appears as a spirit in front of her beloved Will in "Miracula Luxia: The Exiled"
** This makes her the first character in "MLU" to appear in more than one ministory, even though she is dead during her second appearance.
** She also appears as an Undead on various occassions.
* Stella is the only undead character who exhibits almost pinpoint humanlike behavior, mimicking the gentle personality that she once had in life. This further reinforces the undead theory, mentioned below.
** She is also the only Undead capable of retaining most of her human inteligence and mannerisms in unlife.
* As an undead, Stella exhibits very strange behavior, much unlike her "peers". This makes her the only undead person who acts like a human being, even though she is not human anymore.
** The possible cause for the undead Stella's behavior is a semi-plausible theory, brought up by several scientists who study the ravenous beasts. Apparently, some of the memories that the former humans have within their minds remain there, even after they turn. They are capable of recognizing people that they knew in life, but only if they are very close to them. Although the usual undead behavior still persists from time to time, the reanimated human is still capable of self-control, leaving their loved ones alone and hunting for those whom they considered (and still consider) their enemies. If this is the case, this means that Stella's undead self is a rare variant and thus, very valuable.
* Stella is one of the youngest characters to reanimate in the "Miracula Luxia" universe overall.
* Stella and Will have been together ever since they were both 8 years old, making them the youngest couple in the "Miracula Luxia" universe overall.
* Stella's favorite gemstones are the Sapphire and the Turquoise.
** Much like her boyfriend, she also likes the Moonstone- a symbol of her Element.
* The teddybear that Stella is holding in her hand as a child is known as Mr. Sparkles.
* Stella is known to be afraid of the dark, but she often takes pains not to show it.
* Stella's main dreams are to become a renowned healer (or maybe priestess) and to marry the love of her life- William Kaos.
** As an Undead, Stella only dreams of standing by her loved one's side.
