Stella Diekmeyer

**Stella Diekmeyer** is a Sorcerer trainee, disciple of Archdemon Andrealphus, and one of the 12 Archangels of the Chivalric Order wielding **Zachariel**. Stella grew up on the streets with Zagan and Marc creating a bond of fellowship with them when her older brother Decarabia was away.

## Appearance & Personality

Much like fellow Archangel Chastille Lillqvist, Stella has red hair and red eyes; but right eye is an artificial silver and hair is shorter. She's in her early twenties, also tall, and curvy. Since becoming Michael's apprentice, she's chosen to wear a typical Chivalric Order uniform with personal modifications; including anointed armor.

Unlike other Sorcerers or Angelic Knights, Stella is easy-going and fun-loving; choosing to jump straight into action and not dance around the delicate topics around her.

## Background

Growing up on the streets of Kianoides, Stella befriended Zagan and Marc while her brother was trying to earn for her as a thief. In her time on the streets, Stella used a picture book to teach other orphans to read while she learned martial arts from Marc. At some point, the Sacred Sword Zachariel chose her as it's latest wielder, but she was unaware of it at the time.

Eventually Decarabia stole a magical artifact, The King's Silver-Eye, and became incredibly powerful being able to afford many things for her that she wanted in life. However, her brother's stability had taken a turn for the worse, as he began hunting all her fellow orphaned friends, killing them. Devastated, Stella fled with Decarabia assaulting her in his madness until the now Sorcerer Zagan (who did not recognize her) stumbled upon them, and killed Decarabia to rescue her.

In her grief, Stella chastised Zagan and her deceased brother for how sorcerers, with all their power, all just seem to punish and harrass those weaker than them causing Zagan to leave. Andrealphus came and took her away to train her as a sorcerer and to eventually take up Zachariel.

## Plot

### Volume 7

At some point the King's Silver-Eye latched itself on to Stella and turned her into "Decarabia" and went berserk and on a rampage. Eventually finding Zagan's Retinue on an uninhabited island. There "Decarabia" battled Zagan until Valefor used her *Marbas* spell on "Decarabia", devouring him and wresting the Eye from him. Defeated and the artifact removed from her; Stella returned back to normal in a dazed state. As she recovered and realized she was reunited with Zagan, Stella apologized for her outburst against him years earlier, rekindling their frienship.

With that, her mentor Andrealphus arrived to help her recover and gave her an artificial eye.

### Volume 8

Stella returned to Kianoides for the holiday celebration of Alshiere Imera, getting to know Zagan's new allies and family to her joy. While there, Stella ran into the orphan Lisette and saved her from an attack from one of Shere Khan's minions. After that, she decided to take her in as a "little sister".

During the invasion of Shere Khan's minions, Stella worked alongside Chastille, Barbatos, and others to repel the attack. Having saved the city, she enjoyed in the holiday celebrations with everyone.

### Volume 9

Stella had been taken to a meeting of the Archangels by her mentor "Michael Diekmeyer" in order to introduce her to the Order as his "illegitimate daughter" and successor; though she herself was disinterested in the whole event and certainly made it known to everyone present. When the Archangels were split into groups to search the Treasury with "Michael" and Kaltiainen, Stella assumed the plan was for her to kill Kaltiainen and take **Zadkiel** for herself. "Michael" though dispelled these thoughts as they continued to search for Dexia and Aristella.

When they reached the heart of the Treasury, Stella chose not to stand by and was given Zachariel to aid her in her battle proving to everyone she was an Archangel candidate. After Bifrons escaped, everyone settled down and went there separate ways; but Stella's reveal of being Zachariel's new wielder meant she was seen in a much more positive light by her associates in Raziel; much to her annoyance.

### Volume 10

Because Stella was revealed to be the new wielder of Zachariel and "Michael's" eventual replacement, Stella spent much of her time in Raziel helping Avro Jūtilainen train Angelic Knights; much to her boredom. Eventually she saw the emotional slump Ginias Galahad II was in and challenged the kid to a duel; using her martial arts, she easily won. Impressed, Ginias asked Stella to train him and she agreed, taking him with her and Lisette to get snacks.

### Volume 12

At some point when Shere Khan and Bifrons finally out their plan into action, Stella is critically injured.

### Volume 13

Though critically injured, Stella rejoins the battle to protect Kianoides when her brother, revived as a Niphilim, attacks. After a long battle, Stella manages to finally put her brother down.

## Powers & Abilities

Being a sorcerer *and* an Archangel wielder of Zachariel like her master, makes Stella an *extremely* powerful individual. Not only that, but her time living on the streets as a child toughened her up as she learned martial arts.
