## Appearance

Stella is a short, slightly bony child with almond-coloured skin. She has an inverted triangle face structure, freckles and violet eyes. Her ears have free lobes, and she doesn't wear earrings, instead having hearing aids. She has chipped green polish on some nails, and she chews on her thumbnail. She has short, curly, uneven auburn hair that she cuts herself. It's slightly longer on the right side than the left, curly in the back and dyed green. It's long enough to cover a few cut marks on the upper portion of her cheekbone by her ear. She wears damaged wireframe glasses but often squints anyways. She also has two scars on her left shoulder-blade and a birthmark that appears to be an eight-pointed star on the nape of her neck. She wears a metallic, gold stellated octahedron as a necklace. She is noted to have bruised knuckles and a slightly damaged nose.

Her outfit consists of a long-sleeved turtleneck shirt half-tucked into a pair of asymmetrical coloured jeans. Her shirt is black with a white and grey star pattern strewn about it, and the collar and sleeve cuffs are mauve. The right side is tucked into her jeans, and the other side is hanging out. Her asymmetrical jeans are longer on the left side with a ripped knee and reach down just past her knee on the right. The left side is jordy blue and the right side is mauve, matching the collar and cuffs of her shirt. She wears eggplant purple lace-up boots that go halfway up her shins, tucked into the left side of her pants. On her belt, she wears a bright green ribbon tied into a long-tailed bow on her right thigh. She also wears a white glove on her right hand.

## Personality

Stella is an energetic and friendly child, but has poor filtering and doesn't always have good awareness of subtleties of a situation. She's confident and can stand up for herself, until it comes to talking to imposing adults or people who act like authority figures, whom she has a hard time interacting with. She's not incredibly secretive about herself, and doesn't always actively hide the fact that she's a Stand User.

From time to time, she's shown to brag about her mathematical ability, moreso using it like a party trick, but she's confidently modest about her intelligence and sometimes self-deprecative. Despite this, she's clearly quite clever and can come up with creative solutions to problems and can do maths with relative ease. Although she is very intelligent, she can also be a little naïve, believing things if enough people seem to agree they're true, even if they're just messing with her. She doesn't always have the best sense of what to keep to herself, she's rather open about things, even those that are unpleasant, except for when she's talking to adults. She tends to be more likely to hide things from adults, and, in fact, tends to become much quieter and meeker around anyone she perceives as an adult.

She tends to be very unaffected by things, but struggles with her intelligence being questioned and hates being demeaned or made fun of, often able to be broken down or overwhelmed by such things. She's shown to be very well-meaning and will often offer help or input when the opportunity arises. At times, she is shown to be particularly unselfish, forgoing her own sense of self preservation to fight back when someone she cares about is under attack and having a sense of protectiveness over people smaller or younger than herself.

## History

### Childhood

Stella was born on August 8th, 2008. When she was around a year old, her mother began separating herself from her life and her father moved with her to France. They lived rather peacefully until his sudden murder when she was three, which she was a witness to, getting injured in the event. After this, she was put into the foster system, being moved to a children's home, then to several different foster families. They all saw her mathematical ability—and by extension, her—as a means to an end. They saw her ability and associated it with hyper-intelligence, and thus tried to force her to perform unrealistically, pressuring her and often being overly strict. When she couldn't do what they wanted from her, they'd often bring her back to the children's home and abandon her.

Stuck in this cycle, she discovered Labyrinth around the age of five, supposedly as a result of the stress from feeling trapped. She'd tried to run away more than once during this period of back-and-forth, often berated for it. Eventually, she was moved to America while being 'fostered' by a man named Marvin Merveille. While the initial period of being fostered by him went fairly well, if rather similar to her previous foster parents, it went sour after a certain point, and he hit a financial rough patch. They had to move to a less-than-preferable house, and Marvin began to spend most of his time working, leaving Stella neglected, though she managed incredibly well on her own.

Bad came to worse when Marvin needed to find an outlet for the stress of working so much, and turned to drugs and alcohol. So, he would work for half the time, then come home drunk, high, or both, and take out his frustrations on Stella, verbally or physically. Even when he was sober, he would berate Stella for simply not being smart enough to get through what he thought she should be able to. Sometimes, when he came home high or drunk, he would simply kick Stella out of the house for the night. This left Stella in an odd state of living in which she wasn't technically homeless, but may as well have been at times, living frequently on the streets particularly in the summer. Her health simply wasn't the best because she just barely got enough food and was otherwise neglected.

## Skills

### Stats

#### **Physical Strength**

Being a malnourished eleven-year-old, Stella is surprisingly strong. It's still not much, though. She is still, however, physically stronger than her Stand, and, thus, does the punching.

#### **Mental Strength**

Stella is very strong-willed, but she does have weak spots—mostly concerning her intelligence. She can be broken down quickly by insults to her intelligence, and is terrified of guns.

#### **Reflexes**

Stella's reflexes are average, but her depth perception and hand-eye coordination is very good.

#### **Endurance**

Stella has heightened endurance, having built up a tolerance to pain.

#### **Speed**

Stella is very quick on her feet when her legs are not heavily damaged.

#### **Technique**

She has very good technique for a street kid with little to no training.

#### **Cooperativeness**

Can cooperate with others, even on accident!

#### **Intelligence**

She has a very heightened intelligence, but she has a complex relationship with her own intellect.

#### **Stamina**

Stella can get worn out very easily from running too much, but runs a *lot*.

### Skillset

* **Mathematical Ability:** Stella possesses the ability to gauge distances and dimensions of objects and places with absolute accuracy and precision from just a glance.
* **Spatial Awareness:** Stella also possesses the ability to have complete spatial awareness at all times, constantly knowing exactly where she is at all times, spatially.
* **Navigation:** Stella's spatial awareness and mathematical abilities allow her to have perfect navigational skills.
	+ **Maze-pathing:** Stella's abilities also give her the ability to have complete awareness of the layouts of Labyrinth's labyrinths, making her the only person who can perfectly navigate them.
* **Advanced Mathematical Intelligence:** Along with her ability, it gives her the perfect background to be incredibly advanced at maths from an academic standpoint.
	+ **Advanced Academic Background:** Due to all of the advanced schooling she was forced into, she is significantly advanced in an academic setting.
* **Multilingualism:** Stella can speak three languages, Italian and French, which she learnt from birth, and English, which she learnt later on. She's more proficient in French than Italian, due to having been raised in France, and she is decently fluent in English but still struggles writing it despite living in America for three years (likely due to not getting any help and having little motivation to learn).
* **Fighting Skills:** They're minimal, but she has them. She's capable of packing a surprisingly strong punch for someone of her stature.
* **Codebreaking:** Stella's secret interest is ciphers and codes, which she enjoys deciphering and generally thinking about.

## Trivia

* Despite it not being her legal name, Stella always introduces herself as Stella Octangula, and never uses 'Merveille' unless quite literally forced to.
* Her favourite animal is rodents :)
* When punching, she lets out a cry of 'Ula'.
