Stella

"I have no desire to stay in the place of a traitorous embarrassment. You have fallen from what little grace you had, and I know you'll pay for it."

- Stella, to Stolas

Stella is Stolas's wife, Octavia's mother, and a supporting antagonist in Helluva Boss who made her debut in the Helluva Boss pilot.

She has hired an assailant, who is actively tracking down the former's husband, but she is stopped by her brother after being convinced that having Stolas alive is of much more worth to them than he is dead.

Main Series
Stella is a tall, slim, white avian demon. Stella has long, hair-like feathers that have gray tips and a large gray stripe on her head. She has a short pink beak, and very long curved eyelashes.

She has gray markings underneath her eyes, which themselves have red sclera with light pupils.

For attire, Stella wears a white dress with puffed sleeves and feather trimming, along with black accents. She is seen wearing a crown, and has painted nails underneath her black gloves.

Pilot
In the pilot, Stella's overall look was significantly different. She had a much lankier figure and feathers consisting of shades of green and pale yellow, and her eyes had green irises with black pupils. Her beak was not present, presumably being covered by her feathers.

Moreover, Stella wore a green and white dress, with white and red gloves. The only element that appears unchanged in both designs is her crown.

Personality
Stella seems to be very temperamental about her husband's infidelity to the point of verbally and almost physically attacking him while screaming, breaking a lot of possessions and even assaulting an imp butler.

However, she seems to be more baffled by said infidelity specifically happening with an imp, a demon of lower position; she is also incensed that Stolas spoke of his inability to go to a motel to consummate it. Given Octavia's indifferent attitude towards her aggressive outburst, it can be assumed Stella has these outbursts on a frequent basis.

Given her choice of words during her argument with Stolas, it seems she is very classist, as she is not only furious at his infidelity but also at his debasement in position, choice of lovers and actions, since she berated him for acting like a plebeian.

In fact, it's shown, in "The Harvest Moon Festival", that Stella is willing to go far as to actually have someone kill Stolas for cheating on her, not caring about who gets in the way.

In "The Circus" it shown that Stella always had a violent temper, even as a child, as a picture of her shows her attacking two Quieves. As an adult, she's known to be rather snobby, arrogant and selfish, and during party she made nasty insults about Stolas to her friends, not caring that he was able to hear her. It was also shown Stella can be sadistic as she admits the only reason she comes back to the mansion is to torment Stolas about his affair with Blitzo and would laugh when Stolas dies.

Stella is also shown to be not very intelligent, as in "Western Energy" her brother, Andrealphus, had to frustratingly point out to her that if Striker kills Stolas, she would get nothing, and everything of Stolas' would go to Octavia.
