โ i was born in an abundance of inherited sadness. โ
โ i have this strange feeling that i am not myself anymore. it's hard to put into words, but i guess it's like i was fast asleep, and someone else came, dissemble me, and hurriedly put me back together. โ

hc + cats
โ.*๏ฝฅ๏ฝก๏พ ๐๐ + ๐๐๐๐๐
stella owns a ragdoll white cat with notably glossy grey eyes. she named the cat after the constellation : lyra, mostly because of how vocal this feline was as a kitten. this cat came from niflheim, as a gift from the imperial family to celebrate her miraculous recovery. of course, at the time : stella just woke up from her 4 year coma and only just begun adjusting to her new life. stella was difficult, she was traumatised, she struggled with adjusting in her body, and absolutely distrusted any of the doctors or nurse in her bedside. she threw tantrums and understandably, she was barely adjusting to her eyes newly dubbed as etro's gaze. nothing made sense, stella was terrified and confused. fortunately, however, she did find comfort in her kitten. lyra calmed her with her vocal meows, it brought her back in her mind's frenzy, and soothed her body with its tiny warmth. lyra soothed stella's heart and slowly and slowly stella began to heal.
needless to say, lyra is extremely spoiled as a cat. stella made sure she only knew the finest of luxury. the best bed, the best toys, the best meals, and collar. this cat is living its absolute best life and of course it continues to stay loyal to her mistress. lyra follows stella from gralea, niflheim to fenestala manor in tenebrae. she is a bit mischievous like her mistress, and may sometimes behave extremely rudely to those she perceives as an annoyance. over all, stella absolutely adores this cat. of course, because of their bond ---- lyra is able to sense when bhuni starts to resurface, as well as the changes stella begins to exhibit.

GUMMIPHONE CALL FROM: @asterites
stewa still pinchy his cheeks uwu
HE RECOGNIZED THE LOOK IN HER EYE JUST A HAIR TOO LATE. his delayed attempt at escape was made even slower by awkward, disobeying limbs, courtesy of his most recent growth spurt, that made it easy for her to meet her target. her pinches to his cheek had long since stopped being painful, but sora wouldn't quite call themย pleasant, either.ย โ heyโโโโย heyโโโโย c'mon! โ trapped in her clutches, he couldn't do much but wait until he was free.ย a hand reached up to soothe the affronted cheekย (ย overโโโโdramatically, with a pout too exaggerated to beย realย to matchย ).
ย โ y'know, i'm gonna be too bigย for that soon!ย โ &, despite his words, acknowledging that sent a tremble though his heart, a whisper of a reminder that he'dย missย this someday. his expression shifted, though he attempted to keep the realization out of his posture. sora's hands settled on his hips, his pout lifting.
ย โ soโโโโย go on & get your fillย nowย before you can't anymore! โ

stella's rules are really outdated ---- but one major rule i want to include that i have on jill is : please tag your nsfw / spicy image content. i do my best to filter out tags, but it's hard when the tags are all customized and not as easily filtered out.

๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ - ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐
stellaโs versus timeline differs depending on her age / circumstance :
[ ๐๐๐๐๐ข ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ / ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ]ย - a spoiled young princess, the little star is known for her adventurous spirit and demanding personality. she is a bit of a brat, expecting many things to turn her way or throw a tantrum about it. she means well nevertheless, and prefers to see people happy. despite having busy parents, she was loved greatly and treasured by her family. her age does vary, but long story short this was before her near-death experience.ย
[ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ / ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ]ย - the circumstances of her near-death experience may differ depending on plot, but by default she was with her father in a motor-vehicle accident. it was likely an assassination attempt, but details regarding this event remains classified which resulted in the death of her father and leading the princess in a comatose state. while her body remains preserved, her spirit enters the gate of valhalla. there, she becomes enamored by the dwellings of the the goddess of death. she ironically plays the role of a specter, a visitor who does not belong but was blessed by the divine. although her body continues to age in the mortal world, her spirit remains unchanging. in her eyes valhalla was her wonderland, and she was free to explore to her heartโs content not knowing that the longer she stays, the closer she is to death. at some point during her time in valhalla, she comes into contact with the forgotten god of light.ย
[ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ / ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ]ย - years after her accident, stella wakes up under the authority of the empire. she learns that during her coma, both her mother and father had passed away, the empire has completely annexed tenebrae, and her siblings were all separated. unable to handle the news, stella falls into a panic like state. her survivorโs guilt and physical trauma causes her to represses her childhood memories and the next time she wakes up she is notably much more calmer. stella would stay in the hospital ward for over a year in order to reintegrate her back into society. although many assumed she would remain handicap, due to her physical trauma and four year coma, stella remarkably made an outstanding recovery. while everyone else assumed it was a miracle, it was likely the fragmented light of bhunivelze that healed his future vessel. stella would remain under niflheimโs control for nearly a decade where she would be known for her humanitarian work with the commoners.
[ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ / ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ]ย - stella does not make her public debut until she formally makes a return to tenebrae. although many welcomed their princess, many more were hesitant with her return. political rivals condemned her for her affiliation with niflheim, and others were worried about a possible coup. rumors involving the fleuret royal family continues to circulate within the royal court as stella struggles to find her place. nevertheless, she was raised as a diplomat and manages to handle her struggles with a polite smile. currently her political rivals would be families with close royal ties and the current heads of state who wishes to dispose of her and her siblings in order to remain in power.
[ ๐๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐๐๐ ]ย ย - versus would have begin during the peace treaty ceremony between niflheim and lucis. this would be the first time stella makes her public appearance outside of niflheim and tenebrae respectfully. her introduction would remain the same as the trailer, a lone princess admiring the painting of etro and then excusing herself after meeting with the prince. stella has no idea what niflheim was planning, and it was likely she got caught up in the devastation that soon followed. although she manages to survive long enough on her own, with the help of the spirits she sees, bhunivelzeโs awakening manifested the closer she was to lucisโs crystal. the fragment of light that existed within her finally resurfaces after so long and thus begins the dreaded return of the forgotten god of light whose vessel now sees the gateway to valhalla.

๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐.. tender and kind, empathy manifest into a sonnet of unspoken hymns and apprehension. the daughter of latin's dark has always been blessed with death's gaze : its haunting melody a beacon to light's expiration. stella knew the meaning behind loss far more intimately than most ; she understood writ's departure and remains deeply comforted by the unseen slit of the night's sky. without consciously realizing it, she knows what happens at the end of all living things. it exist inside her dreams, lives within her nightmares, and continues to smear itself into her soul. a piecing bright light impales the beatings of her heart : the holiness of heaven's judgement burning gold liquid in her veins.
[ she does not remember it, how could she have known ? she too was young and she too has change. ]
โ i am sorry, i can only imagine the pain you must have endured. โ gentle sincerity illuminates the notalgia in her throat. the cloudiness of the unknown : you breathe air only to suffocate without oxygen. burning, burning, so much burning. [ the creed of valhalla dictates : only through suffering can the powerful rise. ] if it's the cost of someone's life, she once stated, it would give me nightmares. but she lied, o' how she lied. it was already in her eyes, the chaos already existed within her. like you, she has suffered. like you, she understood to be an outcast in a room full of people. [ you and i, we are the same. we have suffered. ] โ but you are not alone, you are still surrounded by people who care about you. don't give up, there will always be light at the end of the dark. โ she preaches what she cannot have, and perhaps that was always the difference between you and her.
