History
Biography
Stella always was an unusual child from the time of her birth, as she had two fathers that loved her and one another very much so. They were rather quiet about whom Stella’s mother was, always saying she was a surrogate that wanted to remain anonymous, and Stella was alright with that until she was twelve and things changed.
Stella was raised by her fathers, with both a wealth of information and plants around her, as one of her fathers was a professor of biology, and the other was a celebrated flower arranger, as a Japanese-American man. It was still clear that she was a bit odd, as she had attention issues, and she was always happiest when outside in the sun and among the plants, and talking to them happily. Her fathers never saw anything odd with it, and encouraged her more.
Things started to change as she got a bit older and entered middle school, and she started to notice more and more weird things. Like creatures that others didn’t see, and that people were following her. Her fathers assured her that she was alright, and nothing was wrong. It was only towards the middle of December that things changed drastically in her life.
How Long Have They Been At Camp Half-Blood:
Stella technically hasn’t made it to Camp Half-Blood yet, but they are on their way there. It was half-way through the school year, and she was struggling a bit as usual with her ADHD and dyslexia when she caught the attention of one of her classmates. Around half-way through the year, the classmate introduced himself as a satyr, and told her that there was a camp she needed to go to. After talking with her dads she set off for the camp, on a grand cross country trip.

💜 Andy Crane 💜
"Once you have the literal weight of the world on your shoulders, you find your best friends."
Turns out that trauma bonding makes for finding your best friend in this new and crazy world you have been tossed into. As well as both having dogs, and both having witnessed the death of someone they cared for. They also happen to be some of the youngest demi-gods at the Camp currently, and just clicked in many ways.
💞 Marygold Isley 💞
"Finding out I had a big sister was one of the best things that could happen."
Stella knows Marygold might not feel the same about her, but Stella has appreciated having an older sister to look up to and learn from. She is very much enthralled with her older sister and cares for her, especially given everything she went through on the quest. She does still worry that she might come off as annoying to her older sibling so she tries to give her space and not hang on.
🎆 Niah Bautista 🎆
"She was so brave through everything, despite everything she lost... I feel bad for her, and respect her."
Stella knows there is a whole lot Niah isn't telling her, but it is not her place. She has a ton of respect for Niah, for what they went through in the quest together, how well she held it together, and how well she fought. She also feels sad for Niah, knowing the other girl lost quite a bit in the last quest, but is giving her space, as they are not close.
