Description
Stella is a thrill-seeking Slickshot duelist.[2] She is a skilled knife thrower, acrobat, and mage.[3] She carries a magical, luck-granting whip she found on Thunder Junction made from warm metal looped in complex knots that dance with blue thunder. She rides a riding lizard and is a friend of fellow Atiin Annie Flash.
History
Throughout her young life, Stella traveled the vast and rolling panoramas of the Atiin's home plane.[3] When the Omenpaths opened in 4562 AR, she joined her people in traveling to new planes.
On Thunder Junction, Stella finally found a place that could satisfy her passion for thrill-seeking.[3] Finding a luck-granting whip and becoming an accomplished duelist, she joined the plane's Slickshot Gang.[2] They employed her for various jobs, one of which was selling scam miracle cures made out of angel's blood. Stella was on a job when she heard about the death of Lucy Bluff, a friend she had been fond of.[2] She was unable to attend the funeral because of her commitment, but after she was finished, she went to visit Lucy's grave in Thief's Folly, the plane's greatest graveyard. While Stella was paying her respects, she came across Gisa and Geralf Cecani, twin necromancers from Innistrad who were searching for a map buried in the graveyard and accidentally set off a trap. As a result, they were chased by a monstrous zombie centipede. Stella helped the siblings defeat the zombie so Lucy's grave wouldn't be disturbed.
About a year later, Stella was still employed with the Slickshots, and set up a scheme smuggling antiques out of an archaeological site on Arcavios to resell. However, she ran afoul of the planeswalker Quintorius Kand and was forced to retreat without her plunder.[4]
