Stella Faye

## Early Life

Stella Faye was abandoned by her parents at a young age, so young she doesn't remember who or what they look like. She spent her young years in an orphanage, ran by very strict mean nuns. This orphanage was over run with unwanted children and food was scarce. Young Stella had to learn to be smart, she had to learn how to fend for herself. One day Stella noticed a body of water in the distance so she snuck away to check if there were any fish. Sure enough the waters were full of fish. Some were even jumping up flopping their fins to say hello! Stella had read books at the orphanage about how fish, and learned that it was one of the best meats to eat. She knew this lake would be her savior. She jumped in the water after the fish, trying to catch them with her hands, but alas this was not successful. She knew there had to be a better way. The day was growing short and night fall was coming, she knew she had to get back to the orphanage before they noticed her missing. She hurried back for head count and got there just in time with not a moment to spare, huffing and puffing as they called her name, terrified that they might have realized she had been gone all day, but she was safe. After head count she scurried off to the library to find any book she could about fishing. She quickly found the perfect one and snuck off to her bed, Under her pillow she laid it with hopes to learn how to catch her a fish the next day.

She woke up the next day determined. watching the clock while it ticked down till the time they would be let outside to play. When the time came she sprinted out the door with the book tucked under her dress. She waited for the perfect time to sneak away to the pond. Once she arrived she pulled out her book and got to learning. She read about different baits she could use and studied the picture of the fishing poll. She dug through the trash to find some yarn, an old can and went and snapped a sturdy good sizes branch off a tree to make herself a make shift pole. She used pieces of the can to make a hook as well as the guides to keep the yarn on the pole. She strung the yarn on to the pole and tied the hook to the end. Next she needed some bait. She dug with her hands in the dirt until she found a worm, she slipped it on to the hook and sent her pole out for a cast. She waited till she felt a tug on her pole then yanked the pole up, sunk the hook into the fishes mouth and began to wrap the yarn with her hand to reel the fish into her grasps. A smile came across her face as she unhooked the fish from the line and held it in the air watching the sun gleam off its scales. She knew she would never go hungry again. Thus her love for fishing began.

## Arrival in the Commonwealth

Once Stella turned 18 she was thrown out of the orphanage and she could not be happier. She headed for the hills and stumbled upon a town called Armadillo. Here she got her first job Hired by Milly Oakley at the Armadillo Saloon. Here she was a bar keeper and waitress. Here she learned how to be a working woman, but this didn't keep her long. Her love for fishing quickly inspired her to open up her own business. A fishing company to supply the freshest fish meat across the common wealth. The left overs from selling the fish inspired her to create an absolute delicious and filling meal now known as Fish Stew. Fish stew was a hit across the common wealth and became one of the most well known dishes to this day.
