Mental Information
Personality: Stella’s still young, and understandably acts as such. She gets mesmerized by shiny objects, can’t resist petting a dog when given the chance, and will spazz out and squeal loudly when she finds something she thinks is utterly adorable or awesome. She also tends to be a bit shy during a first meeting. It’s not that she won’t talk, but she’ll generally be a bit nervous and tend to fidget a lot. Stella’s quite the optimist, always seeing the glass as half full. And if it’s not full enough, she believes she can always add more water to it. All in all, Stella’s a chipper, happy, and perpetually peppy person, almost to the point where she can be mistaken as being a bit ditzy. Due to her sharp senses, her attention tends to be grabbed by random things when she’s not making an effort to focus on one particular person or object. Thus, it sometimes looks like she has A.D.D., especially when she sees something she deems interesting and rushes over to examine it. Stella’s easily excited, and in her haste to get to whatever cute or cool thing she sees, she tends to trip a lot.
But just because she’s generally smiley, cheerful, and a bit ditzy doesn’t mean she’s can’t get serious, or isn’t. Though she generally appears not to be and takes things in stride, when push comes to shove, Stella can become incredibly focused. One can usually tell by the look in her eyes. The only way to describe this change is that her stare goes from gentle to intense. Due to the current state of the world, Stella was forced to mature quickly. She had to. Otherwise she wouldn’t have lasted very long or have made it across the country pretty much on her own. When she’s interacting with people, while she comes off as very friendly, Stella’s constantly observing them, trying to learn as much about them, and their intentions, while she’s interacting. Though kind of goofy she can be serious, though easily excited she’s cautious, and though she’s generally laid back she can spring into action when need be.
Mentality: Stable, optimistic.
Ideal: Stella holds loyalty above all else. She’ll go out of her way to lend a hand to people she’s close too, lie to protect them, and basically stick by them through thick and thin.
Physical Information
Build: Stella has a lean, athletic build. She’s not at all chubby, but isn’t a twig either. Her body has a feminine, hour-glass shape.
Defining Marks: None, really, aside from the standard birthmarks, unless that cute, confident smile of hers can be considered one.
Description: Stella is 16 years old, but she looks a couple years younger than that. It’s mostly due to her height, round face and button nose, as well as the fact that she ties her hair into two, scrubby pig tails with two black colored bows. Stella has a very innocent appearance. Her hair is dyed light red. She was originally trying to dye it a scarlet shade like her big sister but messed up when mixing the dye. She came to like the color though. Being half Japanese, she exhibits physical qualities of someone of a mixed descent.
Apparel Information
Head Gear: Stella ties her hair with two black ribbons she’s had with her since she was 7 years old. They were a gift from her older sister.
Shirts: Though she’ll wear whatever she deems comfortable, she tends to wear a black, sleeveless top that hugs her form tightly. On top of this she wears a slightly tattered pink hoodie she picked up after the missile impact.
Pants: Stella wears a regular pair of blue jeans, held to her waist by a leather belt. Her clothes aren’t anything out of the ordinary. She doesn’t really have a sense of fashion either.
Shoes: Stella wears a pair of white running shoes that are covered in a fair amount of dirt. Hey, they work and they’re comfortable. What else do you need?
Misc: Stella carries a photo of herself and her two sisters in her pocket which is sealed in a leather case with a clear face.
Fighting Information
Fighting Style: When she has too, Stella fights using a combination of Taekwondo and Wing Chun kung fu. She also has some experience street fighting.
Years Practiced: Stella has practiced Taekwondo for about 5 years, and had been taking Wing Chun for about 7. Her street fighting experience was all accumulated after Barker messed everything up.
Description of style: Stella began learning Martial arts at a young age, mostly because her older sister was doing it and she wanted to copy her. However, Stella quickly began to practice seriously and began to develop her style to her needs and strengths. Due to her small size, Stella learned to fight using leverage and body structure. Her style is heavily based on the concept of structure. By angling her arm and stance a certain way, she’s able to defend herself against stronger opponents while exerting minimal strength, and by keeping herself relaxed her arms and body can naturally flow and fall into the right place to defend against an opponent’s attacks. She picked these concepts up at a certain Wing Chun school in New York City that was built around these ideas and focused on “practical self defense”. This forms the core of her fighting style, and Stella is very adept at close range fighting, having a very well built defense as well and being able to simultaneously attack and defend.
Wing Chun however, is focused mostly on close range fighting. In order to expand her defense, she started to learn Taekwondo alongside her cousin until he went up and poofed off somewhere on his own for whatever reason. Not only does her Taekwondo help her fight at mid to long range, but it also has given her an impressive arsenal of legwork and a fair amount of conditioning, which covers many of the things her Wing Chun training was either lacking or didn’t have.
Stella incorporates all of these into her own personal style and is an adept counter fighter. To make up for her lack of strength, she uses the structure of her stances to draw out maximum power in combination with her attacking speed and as she defends, fires quick, rapid blows at the body’s vulnerable points. She’ll attack the knees, that nerve bundle located near the biceps, the throat, any place she can strike that might disable an opponent or end a fight quickly. Her style of fighting is highly efficient, and not at all flashy.
History Information
History:
Stella is one of three daughters born to the Stalker family, which was a not very well -known, but very well off upper class family living in the city of Manhattan. Stella grew up alongside her three sisters as well as her parents. Most of her life wasn’t really anything out of the ordinary. She spent most of it idolizing her big sister, a tall, young woman named Evelyn. Stella spent most of her time trying to copy her older sister (something that’s not uncommon when one looks up to his or her older sibling) by doing things like attempting to dye her hair red, and taking up martial arts training. Later on, when one of her cousins came to attend high school in New York, Stella spent some time listening to her cousin tell stories about the hell-hole of a school he studied at. It was called Public High School 552 or something like that. The stories were somewhat of a driving force for her martial arts training, and due to her cousin’s influence she took up Taekwondo, his martial art of choice for a bit. Aside from that she drew, read a lot, and lived a fairly normal life.
Until some douche named Barker messed up the planet, that is.
Evelyn had left to study for college in California. Stella’s other sister had gone along with their parents on a business trip, leaving Stella to watch over their home with a maid they had hired to help take care of the place. Stella just happened to be going down to the basement to dig out some old books when it felt like an earthquake hit. Boxes toppled off the shelves, one of which bonked Stella on the head and knocked her out. When she finally came too, she pulled herself out from under a pile of unpacked junk and stumbled up the staircase only to find the door completely obliterated along with the rest of her home. In fact, the whole neighborhood was basically a smoldering mess. Stella was understandable in a state of panic, much like everyone else who managed to survive. It took considerable effort for her to get herself together and try and scavenge materials and gather information about what had just happened. Upon finding out that missiles had detonated pretty much all over the world, and finding her hometown pretty much gone, Stella made the decision to make her way to California in hopes of finding her big sister alive. She needed a long term goal to focus on to keep herself together. She had little hope of her parents and other sister surviving though. All those missiles had been flying through the air and they had been in a rather big passenger plane with little evasive ability. Thus Stella made finding Evelyn her goal and, after finding a bag and filling it with what essentials she could find, set out across the country.
Despite the dangers she encountered and thanks to some luck and the kindness of a few people, Stella has finally reached California. It is however, a massive state. So where to start looking? Seeing how her sister was studying in Long Beach, that seemed like the best place to start looking.

Pass Time Information
Hobbies:
- Reading
- Drawing
- Singing
Talents:
- Awareness is one of Stella’s greatest assets. She has a keen sense of hearing and very sharp eyes. She can detect even the slightest of movement and can hear most things, even when something’s skittering quietly behind her. Most things do not go by unseen, or unheard, by her. She picks up on slight movement very well, and her awareness allows her to not only detect a person’s emotions to a slight degree, but it has also helped her predict incoming attacks when she practiced martial arts.
- Stella’s incredibly lucky. Though this may not really be considered a talent, it’s worth pointing out. For some reasons a lot of things tend to turn out in her favor. For example, if someone manages to sneak up behind her and is about to punch her in the head, she’ll likely notice a penny on the floor and bend down to pick it up just before said punch grazes her noggin. It’s also how she manages to survive the recent calamity that destroyed society as we know it.
- Stella has also shown a knock for drawing. It’s probably because of her obsession with comics, but she draws fairy well, having been practicing for years. Her drawings tend to look like images out of a Batman comic, but what she’s able to draw, she draws well.
- One could also call Stella “slippery”. She’s not literally greased up or anything, but she can squeeze through a lot of tight spots and cramped places due to her small size, leanness, and flexibility.
- When it comes to utilizing her environment to survive, Stella’s fairly decent. She may be young and not the absolute brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, but she’s still a pretty quick thinker and can find ways to utilize things around as weapons, shields, or tools.
Favorite things:
- Stella loves fuzzy animals, particularly dogs. She’ll usually make an attempt to pet, and or play with one should she come across it.
- Comic books. She simply loves these. Whenever she can get her hands on one, she’ll drop everything and read it if she’s able too. She almost obsessed with them, and gets so engrossed in them that her usually keen awareness drops until she either finishes the book or is snapped back to reality in one form or another.
- Music. Stella loves hearing a good song every now and again. She tends to hum or sing her favorite ones to herself.
- Lastly, Stella loves taking naps. She has the uncanny ability to fall asleep pretty much anywhere.
