Stella Afflic

*"I don’t know how to describe what I’m feeling right now, Niami. This place has let me be a kid for so long, live a perfect life and everything... I haven’t felt sad since the day I was sent here. But every time I learn something new about the Amygdala, I feel...guilty for being happy."*
**Stella Afflic** is one of the eight main HEXes in *JINX*. She is a young girl who was sent to the Amygdala plane under mysterious circumstances, and has lived there with Louise for over a decade. Within the Amygdala, her consciousness manifests as Flokke Sfera.

## Biograhy

Stella was born on March 31, 2000, to Rebecca and Isaac Afflic, in the town of Turtlehill. She grew up as the younger sister to Allen, whom she often clashed with in their shared childhood. Their confrontational natures caused them to grow distant, with Stella taking solace in her friends at school.

In 2006, Stella and Allen waited for their parents to return home from what was supposedly a short outing, soon noticing how late into the night it was. As Stella went to check in on her brother, she found him on his bed opposite a cracked mirror. He repeatedly begged for his mother, barely able to form a coherent sentence. Succumbing to a pounding heading, Allen grabbed Stella by the arm and tried to leave the house, but upon opening the front door, they were drawn into an corridor leading to Balance. Unbenounced to the kids, a large influx of multidimensional pulses surged from Prism Lake, tethered to their house, and formed a spatial displacement around them.

Amidst their freefall through Sunyata, a JINX Demon named Mendax redirected them back into the Material World, specifically to an abandoned lighthouse in the middle of Prism Lake. There, Mendax constricted the two with psychic energy. It attempted to take advantage of the energy surge from Prism Lake, using its tether to transfer energy directly to the Amygdala, the plane stacked above the Material World. Mendax's hand was placed in front of Allen's head, drawing out his cognitive power as a sacrifice to Scuro. However, Allen retaliated by unleashing a tremendous amount of psychic energy, forcing Mendax to retreat to the Amygdala. Allen's psychic rampage also caused a portal to open beneath Stella, which accidentally sent her to the Amygdala as well. By the whim of Scuro's twin Chiaro, she wound up in the subconscious demiplane of Oliver Malison, known as Mryastota Sfera, where her mere presence triggered a time-altering descent. Upon emerging in the Neuro Realm, dozens of earthen mounds rose from the desolate landscape, which was quickly covered by a blanket of clouds. Futhermore, JINX Demons created by Scuro were reformed into kindhearted souls that live above the clouds.

An entire lifetime passed during Stella's descent, flowing normally once she landed on one of the floating islands. After awaking, she was met by Louise Vestments, an envoy of the Neuro Realm's ruler, Queen Loon Molly. Stella reluctantly followed Louise to Loon Molly's castle in the town of Sero, wherein she ordered Louise to be her caretaker until she could go back to the Material World. A golden amulet named Monade then appeared over Stella's shoulder, and Loon Molly declared her to be the Golden Halo of prophecy. The prophecy read:

*When the two worlds open a path to darkness, the Golden Halo will fall from the sky and shape the land in her image; not by hand, but by the very essence of her being. Our shared light will banish evil across time and space, so long as her heart stays true, and I shall be her shield through eternity.*
