Stella's Murder Plot

### Origin of Stella's Revenge

On a seemingly ordinary day in The Under, a gray cat looking much like Trash Kitty appeared. However, this one had the distinction of wearing a chevron mask. She claimed she was the twin sister of Trash Kitty, but unlike her sister, had never been adopted by Erin Markey. While Trash Kitty and Vicky had been taken in and given a warm, loving home, the young kitten Stella had been left abandoned in the dumpster, alone.

At some point, The M.C. had decided to bring Stella to The Under, though it was already long after Trash Kitty and Vicky had been brought in. She believed he'd done this as a way of giving her the means to enact revenge on the two cats. Over time she inquired with Timesprites as to the whereabouts and potential weaknesses of Trash Kitty and Vicky, but didn't seem to have much luck in actually tracking them down face to face. When the two eventually caught wind of the plotting, Trash Kitty and Vicky were understandably worried, but also confused, as they had no recollection of a Stella in their past life.

### The Kitten Coven and a Search for Poison

As time progressed, Stella became increasingly impatient. She stepped up her scheming and formed her Kitten Coven. It was difficult, however, to find Timesprites willing to join. Everyone, it seemed, wanted to label her as evil and shun her. The continued rejection reopened all the old wounds of being the kitten left abandoned in the dumpster. Nevertheless, Stella refused to let the setbacks deter her. She learned that most of the cats are deathly allergic to onions, but the effects wound up being less deadly than she'd hoped. Some Timesprites also helped her discover the power of poisoned onions, but again, she was also left disappointed to discover this only sent her victims to the Island.

Stella dug her heels in deep. Through the aid of her coven as well as her husband, **Small Golden Cheese,** she managed to learn of a particularly potent poison favored by another infamous villain of The Under, Isabella. The devious skeleton eagerly introduced her to golden salt, a guaranteed way permanently kill any resident of The Under. This latter fact, however, was conveniently omitted by Isabella when she gifted the poison to Stella. As such, Stella remained oblivious to the fact that using it would obliterate her victim's very essence, rather than something akin to being banished to the Island.

### Escalation and Murder

While Stella's original animosity had been against Trash Kitty and Vicky in particular, by this point her hatred had grown to encompass the entire Catdom. There had been threats to kidnap Kitt's wife, the Queen, **Fish/Two Gold Forks**. Mysterious daggers were found impaled in the king's back while he was sleeping, stealing away all but the last of his nine lives (though these were never confirmed to be Stella's doing, nor did she ever take credit for it). Stella ruthlessly plagued the royal family with the ceaseless paranoia of always wondering when she would pop out from behind a corner and inflict untold fear and torment upon one of their kind. Things had grown so bad that Kitt resorted to engaging the Knights of the Wet Food in defense of the kingdom, and Princess Dumpstertruck had enlisted Dragoon in a chaotic pursuit of Stella.

Armed with golden salt, Stella planned her final trap. Vicky was set to be wed to the Timesprite **Golden Gerald**. Most assuredly the royal family would be in attendance. The royal family was on high alert, but figured they'd be safe with the Knights of the Wetfood in attendance. Feeling like she was in some way responsible, Trash Kitty vowed to employ her Knights of the Trash Fort as additional wedding security.

Stella knew this was her chance, and by unknown means was able to remove her chevron mask—allowing her to pose as Trash Kitty. Not long after the ceremony came to a close, Stella cornered Vicky and Kitt near Stonehenge. While taunting the two cats, Stella imprisoned **Fish/Two Gold Forks** in the cage at the Main Stage. Vicky, the Knights of the Wetfood, and the Knights of the Trash Fort all fought valiantly to protect Kitt and Vicky, yet Stella claimed she was only there to present a wedding gift. Mischievously she prepared a "seasoned" can of wetfood. Vicky was cautious and Kitt stepped in to intercept. Vicky attempted to warn Kitt, but it was too late. The golden salt had already covered Kitt's paws, and it didn't take much to take over his small body.

Vicky furiously tried to save Kitt as he struggled to make out his last words: a wish for Stonehenge to be repaired one last time. Stella watched on in annoyance, hoping at last Vicky would understand what it felt like to be alone the way Stella always had.

### Aftermath

It was only after Kitt's passing that Stella finally discovered the truth about golden salt's potency. When she learned that it had actually been truly permanent, she felt great remorse. She wished she could repair the damage between her and her sister, but Trash Kitty, as well as the other cats, were understandably cautious to ever be near Stella again. Trash Kitty eventually agreed to meet with Stella and the two sisters were able to reconcile, at least to a certain extent. Stella has stated she's very sorry for what she did and has promised that she won't try to kill anyone ever again. The other cats are less convinced. They've been working on trusting her again, but the murder of their king has left them keeping a safe distance from her at all times. Very few Timesprites found it in their hearts to forgive her actions, aside from her most loyal coven members and **Small Golden Cheese**, so Stella has been effectively left once more as the outcast. Alone.
