27. [If your character had one thing to say to their parents before they died, what would it be?]

(already answered 7! :3)

5. [What are their chief tension areas?]

Her biological family, for sure. Stella made the best lemonade she could with her lemons but her mother’s suicide, her sister’s abandonment, her father’s useless… They’re all still sore subjects for her. Following that, there’s really just the fence and the War that ripped through the human world. She doesn’t take nicely to being captive, playthings for the demons and she doesn’t like that the war between these heavenly bodies (angels and demons alike) are what altered everyone’s life forever.

13. [Have they ever been so overwhelmed they had to stop and take a break from something?]

(already answered 9 :3)

3.[Does your character have an accent? What does it sound like?]

Stella’s accent is fairly standard Middle American fare. She developed speech quickly as a child and so was completely verbal by the time she was put into foster care, sent off from Ohio. While she did spend some brief time in the South, it wasn’t enough to influence her speech. You’re more likely to notice the odd conglomerate of intra-national slang that she uses than any real distinguishable accent.

7. [How does your character perceive themselves? Positive? Negative? Neutral?]

If you asked this question a few years back, maybe before moving up to Paradise, the answer would be wholly different. Back then, Stella was a “bad seed” and she thought so herself. It’s what she had been told her whole life, more or less. And up until just before the Holy War split the world in half, she more saw herself as positive – a force of good, ready with a smile and a helping hand. She’s still that same woman, but the lines are more firmly drawn and so she’s less confident to call herself “positive,” “good,” on the side of the Light. It seems to hold more meaning now, as does “negative,” “bad,” or Dark. She’s firmly in the middle, neutral. Just living her life and hoping for the best for herself and all her fellow humans.

15. [Can they multi-task or must they focus on one subject at a time?]

She absolutely can multi-task. No waitress worth her salt can only focus on one thing at a time. She was always that way, always alert and watching, cataloging different parts of her environment at once.

22. [Does your character trust people right off the bat or does it take them some time to warm up to someone?]

(already answered 12 :3)

9a. [Does your character dream or are their nights filled with an empty blackness?]

Stella feels like all she does sometimes is dream. Her nights are vivid lived fantasies, half-prophecies, lives outside that she’ll never have. She’ll wake in cold sweats or hot skin, with chills or words still on her tongue.

9b.[Describe a dream they’ve had.]

A lot of Stella’s dreams lately have been more abstract. The fence is always a key feature, gleaming and sparkling in high afternoon light. There are winged figures, some with features tipped with blood, some weighed down by tar over their wings. Almost always, the black-winged-beings have rows of razor teeth set deep into their hellishly beautiful faces. The tormented, blood-strewn angels with white wings cry and cry and scream and cry and claw at their faces until they peel their own skin from their bones and cry.

28a.[Are they afraid of death?]

She fears not living more. If she were to day today, she would be less afraid or sad and more angry. Delirious, numbing anger at the fact that her life had been stunted as collateral in this Holy Pissing Match. 

28b.[Do they have any regrets?]

Stella just about always has her nails painted. She would get teased in elementary school for biting her nails and not-awful older foster sister taught her that painting her nails would keep her from biting them. Since then, she almost never has her nails bare and they’re usually bold or bright colors.

She was, and still is, a neurotic student. Once she was able to get her own supplies, all the colors had to match (folders, notebooks, highlighters). If her notes were too messy, she would meticulously copy them over that night. Arrows, diagrams, thought-maps riddle her books.

Even if your name is just one syllable long, Stella probably has a nickname for you. She likes making people feel like they belong, and part of that is giving people little pet-names. If she doesn’t know your name, she falls back to “hon” or “sweetie.” If she’s close friends with you, she’ll often drop into “angel” and “lovebug.” Her affection is as casual as breathing and that spills over into her speech.

The last time Stella cut her hair was in the tenth grade. She’s only been getting trims ever since and she loves her hair long. She figures she’ll chop it shorter once it gets past her ass but until then, she’s not touching it. Which is a hassle, at work, since it has to be back -- always braided and usually tucked into a bun or some twist to keep it from still getting in the way.
