"My name is Stella, and that's my name! Nyah! Nice to meet ya! Let's make those Arkz go crying home to their mommies! Haha! Their mommies! Nyah!! My specialty is analysis, nyah. I'm good at locking on targets, nyah! I hit my target a hundred times out of a hundred, nyah. Oh! Also, I can run really really fast! And, what else... Um..."

— Stella introducing herself to the Commander in Tier 8.

Stella (Japanese: ステラ) is a character in Phantasy Star Online Episode III C.A.R.D. Revolution. She is an energetic humanoid that joins the Hunters following the successful completion of Development 1. Stella can typically be found teamed up with or around Glustar.

Despite having a rough early life and being a defective humanoid without a chance of ever becoming fully functional, explaining the occasional "nyah" sprinkled in her speech, Stella enjoys brightening the mood with jokes and laughter. Her specialties include analysis, agility on the battlefield, and locking onto targets with supposedly 100% accuracy.

Characteristics

Appearance

Stella as displayed on the Double Attack card.

Stella is a petite RAcaseal that wears an orange and black uniform with white trimmings. She has a fair complexion, auburn red hair hidden beneath her head piece, and blue eyes. Her assigned section ID is Bluefull.

Personality

Stella is an outgoing bundle of laughter and cheer, especially when accompanied by her companion, Glustar. Although Glustar has a knack of getting into trouble with his shady dealings with money, Stella always faithfully stands by him and will protect him.

Stubbornly loyal to a fault, Stella believes in the good within people despite their sometimes selfish intentions. Although Stella will make an attempt to inject reason into an objectively bad idea, she will falter when her suggestions are brushed aside. It is not until the Hunters experience a tragic outcome due in part to Glustar's dealings, and by proxy herself as she was an accomplice who inadvertently assisted him and did not report his actions when she knew he was in too deep, does she face extreme grief for both the guilt of letting it happen and for not standing up for herself more strongly.

Despite the outcome, Stella still believes in Glustar's good intentions. She grows from her mistakes and manages to eventually put aside her anguish in order to forgive him and continue to support him, although now with a stricter policy of restricting him from acting foolishly.

---

Orphaned at a young age due to being a defective battle humanoid, Stella was taken into a rundown facility that was abusive to her and her fellow tenants. Despite her negative situation, she found a role model in her teacher who inspired her to overcome the obstacles in her life and grow into the person she becomes in present times.

Sometime before joining the Hunters, Stella met and befriended Glustar, a man with a severe gambling addiction that lives for the moment. Although he had selfish tendencies, the newman treated her with respect when she felt alone, and so their friendship blossomed. Glustar went through his money like water, but, after being around her and seeing her bubbliness and gentle nature despite her harsh early life, he was inspired to work toward a goal. His former war-time buddy dreamed of giving lower-class citizens, such as humanoids and newmans, a good education to raise their social standing. At first, Glustar raised money in order to simply repay his friend, but after his friend succumbed to his wounds from the battlefield, Glustar wanted to make his dream come true and invest into building the school himself. Stella believed so strongly in his mission that she latched onto it and vowed to help him achieve it.

Stella and Glustar are recruited to the Hunters C.A.R.D. Lab and introduce themselves shortly after the Commander returns to Pioneer 2 after assisting the Development Division collect data in Unguis Lapis. Stella explains her skills to her new commander, boasting a 100% hit rate and swiftness on the field with a forte in analysis and locking onto her targets. The humanoid instantly warms up to the Commander for saying hello to her, asserting that they must be a great person for doing such a simple act alone. She energetically proclaims that the Hunters will "make those Arkz go crying home to their mommies!"

Although the troublemaking duo worked for the cause the Hunters fought for, which was to seek the Great Shadow and extract the Germ in order to improve both their technology and Pioneer 2 society as a whole, Glustar in his greed started getting himself involved with the Arkz unbeknownst to most of his coworkers. The gentle humanoid tried to convince Glustar that this deal he wanted to negotiate was dangerous and that he should not go, but he refused to listen to her. When she tried to help him, he insisted that she is too weak and headed out to the rendezvous. Unfortunately, he ended up triggering a glue trap and got himself caught in it. With no one else to turn to, Stella decides to reach out to the Commander. Together, they save Glustar in the Great Rescue and bring him back to the safety of Pioneer 2, unknown to the Commander that the newman's efforts were not all in vain.

Although Glustar sought out the money, he started having doubts when his efforts started fights between himself and Stella as she continually attempted to talk him out of his dangerous dealings. Before the Hunters engage the Leukon Knight in Guardian 1, Glustar, in his worry for Stella's well-being, attempts to convince the Commander to not deploy her as much anymore because she is not suited for fighting but then retracts his statement and tells them to forget he said anything. Before the Commander deploys a hunter once again to Ravum Aedas Sacra in Guardian 2, Stella considers revealing Glustar's scheme since he will not listen to her pleas, but then reconsiders and keeps his deals secret.

After successfully escorting a team of researchers to Ravum Aedes Sacra and securing valuable data, the Hunters C.A.R.D. Lab Chief Pentaglass informs the Commander that he suspects that someone among their ranks is leaking information since the Arkz seem to always be one step ahead of them and conveniently in the same areas. His suspicions are confirmed when the Arkz utilize their information to swiftly invade Pioneer 2 in their attempts to destroy the Morgue. It is revealed, however, that there were several leaks within the Hunters. Although Glustar gave information to the Arkz in exchange for money, Ino'lis had partially defected in her ignorant quest to attract Kranz' attention and assisted with their raid. The results of all of their negligence caused not only massive damage to the C.A.R.D. Lab, but also fatal injuries to Kranz as he heroically saved Pioneer 2 by taking the brunt of a bomb's explosion within his field-lock in Morgue Attack 3.

Stella blamed herself for not only not trying harder to talk Glustar out of working with the Arkz, but also for keeping the information to herself and not informing anyone besides the Commander until after the fact. She remorsefully explains that whenever she tried to speak, Glustar would caress her and either gently tell her to not worry or just get angry. She sobs out an apology to Kranz and admits to the Commander that the unfortunate circumstance was not just Ino'lis' fault. Since the attack, Stella tried to distance herself from Glustar, refusing to speak to him. He tried to tell her that it was not all his fault nor hers, but she ignored him, knowing that they still did a terrible thing and got their friend almost killed.

After Kranz' miraculous recovery and return to the Hunters, Glustar apologized profusely to Stella. Although still upset about the situation, she knew that he needed the money if he was to secure the funds for his own dream to come true to help the disadvantaged people of Pioneer 2. She tells the Commander that she understands why he did what he did, and so accepts his apology and forgives him, even if no one else may be able to do the same. However, from here on, she vows that she will never let him obtain money by doing terrible things ever again. Stella promises that she will see to it that they earn the money legitimately, together. Later, Glustar catches wind of missions that will reward generous sums of money, and tells the Commander that he needs to be deployed to those quests. After a heartfelt talk with the Commander, he is deployed on the mission and earns just enough to begin the next phase of his goal.

Upon returning to Pioneer 2, Glustar surprised Stella with his reward money and then proposed to her, asking the humanoid to be with him forever and for them to become a family. She replied with a cheerful "Okay!" and then excitedly reveals the good news to the Commander. They decided that they will live in the outside world and will build the school on Ragol. Glustar had wanted that part to be a secret to everyone besides themselves, since living on Ragol is against the law and could get them arrested, but she trusts the information with the Commander and hopes she will be able to see them again in the future. Soon they will be able to give a proper education to the disadvantaged with their school and do their part to make the hardened world a little bit more pleasant. Before they can continue with their ambitions, Glustar tells the Commander that he will do anything to make his dream a reality, and he does not see the "gifts" the Germ could potentially give Pioneer 2 meaningful if it means that people could get infected and die from it. He vows to do what he can to make sure that it is eradicated before it can spread across Ragol.

Stella and Glustar are not mentioned again leading up to the final battle beginning in Great Ambition 1. Their fate remains unknown following the defeat of the Great Shadow in Great Ambition 2.

Powers and abilities

Stella has the best Move stat in comparison to her Hunters companions but consequently makes up for it by having weak offensive ability. Since she is a humanoid, she is unable to use technique or technique boosting C.A.R.D.s. She is a ranger however and combined with her high mobility on the field, she makes for a great character to use in order to harass opposing players, especially when chasing Arkz as they are trying to setup their monsters. Few can outrun her, and even fewer can escape her firing range during the heat of battle.
