Stella/History

## Story

*"A wanderer that helped the Frostbourne in their battle against Herobrine. She is actually a member of the Coven, a long lost clan hidden away in the Mystic Forest." - Rainimator Lorebook*

### History

Before the events of Fractures, Stella was a member of the Coven with ender blood who wished to prove herself to the Ender Watchers by facing Herobrine's undead army. After leaving the Coven and becoming a Wanderer who roamed the biomes in search of potent magic, she subsequently joined the Frostbourne, being enlisted by the Grandmaster Ser Patrick in a raid on the Wither Camp.

### Fractures

#### Season 1 - Herobrine's Revenge

##### *Goodbye*

Stella made her debut in Goodbye, where she had been reading her book whilst leaning on the wall outside the War Room near Daryll. She sat in on the meeting held by the Frostbourne Grandmaster Ser Patrick and scholar Lady Azura in the Frostbourne Castle's war room as they planned their siege on the Wither Camp, visualizing it on a map of the battleground.

When the time came, Stella helped to blow open the wall for Ser Patrick and the Bandits using her TNT Ignition Spell as Azura distracted Blackbone and the Wither Skeletons stationed thereby attacking. Stella was successful in killing Blackbone by utilizing a barrage of lightning attacks and a trio of her Arcane Blades, who was rendered helpless.

She afterward assisted Lady Azura in traveling to the End by creating a portal for the two of them to get help from the Ender Watchers, going in with her upon Patrick's orders. By the time they had returned with the Ender Watchers, Patrick had been severely injured by Herobrine, who was sub-sequentially decapitated by Ceris as they watched and aided to the defeated Grandmaster.

#### Season 2 - The Last Ender Watcher

##### *Wings of Salvation*

She made a minor appearance in Wings of Salvation, sitting in next to Flint as Lady Azura pitched her idea on going to the Floating Isles, much to the dismay of Daryll and Ser Patrick.

##### *Wither Heart*

Wither Heart centralized on her and the newly rescued Rain, who was suffering from the Wither Heart Curse after being stabbed in the heart by Abigail Crysteffor in Just So You Know. Stella joined him on his mission to cure it by heading to the Coven Village, located within the Mystic Forest, in search of a witch capable of curing it.

As Rain weakened, they decided to take a rest and set camp at nightfall, where they were ambushed by the now leaderless Undead, successfully fending them off with the use of her Arcane Beams and Arcane Blades. However, time was running out fast for Rain, and upon making it to the Coven Village, he ran out of energy and was rendered immobilized on the ground.

   Stella frantically proceeded alone to get help, only to stop in shock as she discovers the Coven Village and its people had been destroyed, resulting in her being attacked by Infernius. Despite using her Arcane Beams, Arcane Blades, and her barrier spells, Stella was unable to stop him and was forced to send Infernius through a nether portal. She was able to find the Wither Book and cure Rain, before embracing him, much to his shock.

##### *Ender Wish*

Stella as well as Rain made a minor cameo at the end of Ender Wish, where they were drawn to a beacon sent up by Zeganirn, whom they found sprawled on the ground injured with The Artifacts in an ender chest next to him.

##### *Wishing Dead*

At the start of Wishing Dead, Rain and Stella are first seen on a boat arguing about whether they should or should not fight alongside Zeganirn. The argument is won when Rain says that they’ll carry the torch of the Ender Watchers together, quelling her fury at their departure.

Rain and Stella flee the Mystic Forest into the Tundra Cliffs, where they set up camp for the night. Whilst they are taking a break, Djinn swiftly sneaks upon them and flings two knives covered in demon poison towards the two. Rain is able to deflect one but is unable to help Stella, who is struck in the stomach by another and dies.

The morning after the battle, Rain pulls out and examines the knife that killed Stella while she was lying on the ground with an open wound in her belly, later carrying her through the forestry and to the Tundra Cliffs. When they arrive, Stella is revived by the Demon Curse and attacks Rain, causing Rain to fall off the Tundra Cliffs and lose his swords.

When he comes to consciousness, Stella has been taken over by the demon curse and has been turned into a netherkin, attacking Rain in a feral manner. Noticing his reluctance, she exploits this and strikes Rain in the stomach, before unleashing a Shoryuken-style attack upon him, knocking him backward. In a last-ditch attempt, knowing he can't fight her, Rain summons the Wither Book to his hand. He utilizes the book to cast a spell on Stella, which forces her humanity back into her, prompting her to unleash a deafening shriek. Rain covers his ears, leaving him open for her to punch him into a tree before she "wakes up". Realizing what she has done, she sheds tears in her shock, before fleeing.

Kane and his ally Ciara had rushed to the location of Stella and Rain, following Stella's ear-splitting shriek. Not knowing she had regained her humanity, Kane had attempted to shoot her down, however Stella fled before she could be killed, through Kane still succeeded in shooting her in the arm.

##### *Falling*

In Falling, Stella runs away back to the Mystic Forest, however takes a quick turn into the Nether. The Nether mobs do not seem to be fazed, seeing her as one of their own, causing her to question her humanity. She later arrives at the campsite, where she is intercepted by Ciara. Stella is surprised by how Ciara was able to chase after her, and soon finds herself having to fight Ciara using her new iteration of the arcane blade. Stella finds herself struggling to get a hit on Ciara, whose speed and teleportation abilities (through her karambits) are unlike what Stella has encountered. As Ciara attempts to do an aerial strike, Stella activates her Telekinesis powers, smashing Ciara on to a tree and throwing the blade in her arm, allowing her to escape.

Stella soon arrives at the Coven Village, where a dying Zeganirn lifts his head to see her. He uses his remaining energy to send something in a quad of End Chests away, as well as cure Stella. Stella lays Zeganirn to rest, giving him a poppy and mourning his death. Rain soon comes hurtling towards her, screaming out, to which Stella turns around, revealing her eyes are back to normal.

##### *Cold as Ice: The Remake*

In Cold as Ice: The Remake, she watched Ciara brewing potions for a few seconds until she witnessed Rain, who had just found out about Ceris' death.

#### Season 3 - The Endstone Crusaders

##### *Be Afraid*

In Be Afraid, Stella reads from an enchanted book while Kane and Rain packed up. She listened to Kane explaining their route to the Frostbourne Castle, excited to head back to what was now her home. Arriving at the Netherbane Tavern for the night, she attempted to lay down on a couch, but quickly sat back up when she saw Ciara staring at her. The next night, while riding through a Nether Outpost, Stella used her Pyromancy skills to take out several pigmen before riding away.

    In the morning, Stella was practicing arcane magic when Rain sat down next to her. He offered her a toasted marshmallow, which she ate. While eating breakfast, she listened to Kane explain the rest of their route. The group travels for several days, eventually making their way to the Frostbourne Castle.

Upon arriving their, Stella goes to find Lady Azura. Discovering her in the medical wing, she eagerly embraces her. Nostra, who was treating Azura's lightning wound, turns their focus to Stella. They examine her horns, observing how she has characteristics of a demon, yet was also human.

Meeting with Ser Patrick and the other Endstone Crusaders, Stella explains to Ser Patrick their plan to locate and collect the End Crystals scattered around the Overworld. When the End prophecy is brought up, Stella asks if it included her turning into a demon. Ciara and Kane sheepishly dodge the question. Stella quickly changes the subject, wondering where to begin looking for the crystals. Lance, as an Ender Frog, teleports onto the table and explains that he knows where all the End Crystals are hidden. Stella, and the others in the room listen, surprised but intrigued.

##### *Eternal*

In Eternal, in the Frostbourne Tavern, Stella is holding Lance as he slept and listened to Kane's plan, until confused, and questions why the Nether has two kings. After a while, she starts listening to Kane and Ciara arguing about Ciara trying to kill Porkshire again.

Later, some Frostbourne soldiers escort the horses the group used back to the Netherbane Tavern. Stella waves goodbye to her horse. After this, Stella with the rest of squad goes over the plan again.

Later in the tundra, Stella spawns a nether portal. Thanks to it, they travel to the Piglin Bastion, where a small army of piglins was waiting for them. Stella uses her arcane beam and blades kills a few piglins and pigmen, before knocking the Piglin General's axe out of his hands with an Arcane Blade.

    Stella with the rest of Endstone Crusaders ventures into the Crimson Forest. The Enchantress looked around with interest, until she with Kane quickly hide to avoid a Zoglin. After this, Stella, with the rest of the Crusaders quickly make their way to the Piglin Castle, passing a small village.

When Ciara went into the castle, Stella and Rain tried to follow her, but they were stopped by Kane. While they waiting for her, the Zoglin they passed earlier led the Mutated Piglin to them. After a short fight, they managed to kill the Piglin Brute, just as Ciara emerges from the throne room, End Crystal in hand.

##### *Clear Skies*

At the beginning of the episode, Stella gives Lady Azura the end crystal, which Ciara took from the Piglin Castle. When Rain left the tavern, she tries to talk to him, but he brutally pushed her away, leaving her surprised and heartbroken.

After Rain moved on from Abigail Crysteffor, she sat in the stone stairs and thought with disbelief on what happened earlier. Rain sees her and sits next to her, explained why he did what he did earlier and apologizes to her. Although she's still angry, she still forgives him and lays her head on his shoulder.

##### Back Into Darkness

During the episode Stella and the other Crusaders listened to Azura's explanations about where other End Crystals are. After that she traveled with Rain and took a short nap during the night time.

##### Preach to the Choir

At the beginning of the episode Stella alongside Rain listened to Nostra's explanation about the Wardens. When the Occult Doctor stopped talking and asked if either of them had questions, Rain would ask about the Warden's acquisition of the End Crystal, to which Stella theorized it was a trial. Seemingly amused, Nostra would ask if the Dragon Tamer found himself worthy of being the Last Ender Watcher, in turn putting doubt in his mind.

Upon entering the Lush Caves, Stella befriended a pink axolotl, and laughed when Rain fell from a dripleafs during their later descent. However, due to Rain angering the Undead Lord Azalea by damaging the vegetation of the area, they would be ambushed by the Lush Cave Marauders. Utilizing her Arcane spells, Stella would dispose of several skeletons and save both Nostra and Rain from different enemies, including Azalea in the case of Rain.

After sneaking into the Deep Dark, the group find the Crystal and work to release it from its chains. However, Stella's attempt to free the crystal inadvertently led to Nostra's mask land on a Skulk Sensor, triggering the Shrieker and alerting a Warden. In that moment, Rain, powered up by the energy wave the End Crystal emitted, engages the Warden in combat, giving Stella and Nostra a chance to free the crystal. They succeeded and proceeded to save Rain - who had been caught by the Warden moments before - and make their escape.

Despite outrunning several Wardens and escaping the Deep Dark, a mutated Lush Warden would pursue them from behind. Hindering their escape further would be a revived Azalea, whose attack on the group was instantly interrupted by the Lush Warden, knocking her away.

Rain, still injured, tried fighting the Lush Warden with the Ender Greatsword but ended up failing and being seized. Stella, after successfully distracting the Warden with her Arcane Blades, would empower herself with the End Crystal and launch a powerful Arcane Beam towards it. Having released Rain due to the blades, the Lush Warden would counter with a red Arcane Beam of its own, however, Stella still slew the Warden by penetrating its chest. After that, Stella would collapse from the amount of energy taken, leaving Rain and Nostra in shock and concern for her health.
