Stella

**Stella** is the main character of *Spiritfarer*. As a Spiritfarer, she helps ferry spirits to the afterlife.

## Appearance

Stella is a young brown-skinned woman with orange hair and brown eyes.

She generally wears a wide-brimmed dark teal hat with a yellow outline on the underside of it which is cut in the form of a star, a yellow elbow-length shirt, a green belt with a glowing belt buckle, teal ankle-length pants and light-green espadrilles. Her most notably feature is her supernaturally glowing belt buckle, which contains the Everlight she inherited from Charon, which allows her to use different abilities and can transform into useful objects, such as oven mittens, a pickaxe and a scythe.

Stella must interact with the passengers and see to their needs - so it sometimes is necessary to feed them, give something to them, talk to or hug them. Stella also can look up their mood in the interaction panel.

## History

Stella was born in 1974 but her place of birth is unknown. Her family immigrated to northeastern France while Stella was a young child, where she lived out her childhood and teenage years. She later moved to Québec with her mother, Marie, and her younger sister, Lily.

As an adult, Stella was a palliative care nurse in charge of helping increase the quality of life of patients with a serious illness. She accompanied those that might not have much time left, and eased their pain by being there for them, right up until she became ill herself.

In *Spiritfarer*, players catch glimpses of Stella's memories as she reminisces about her family visits to Alsace during her childhood, her newfound friendships while visiting Shirakawa-gō during her early adulthood, her patients as a health worker in Oxbury, and her anxiety-filled nightmares when she learned of her rapidly advancing cancer.

## Relationships

### Daffodil

Stella's friend and follower on the ferry is Daffodil, who appears as a cream coloured cat with blue eyes. He carries his own Everlight on a collar, allowing player two to control him in Cooperative Play. Daffodil was the family pet before Stella moved out and took him with her.

## Customization

## Trivia

* The developers had almost allowed the player to choose "Stella's" name, but then decided that it was *Stella's* story, so they made it so there was no customization on that part.
* Back when the idea of “online” for *Spiritfarer* involved one person per ship, Stella was actually two people; a brother and a sister. The sister was originally much younger, while the brother was slightly older. The idea behind it was that you would pick a character, and encounter your sibling and their ship, online, when you would meet other people. However, due to many time and budget constraints, they had to remove the idea of meeting ship-to-ship, and it left them with one protagonist, and eventually, her cat.
