Stella

"I want this cheating prick dead. I don’t care who you have to go through, make it happen!"

- Stella to Striker

Stella is Stolas's wife, Octavia’s mother, and a minor character in Helluva Boss.

Appearance
Stella is a tall, white avian demon with curvaceous proportions. Stella has long, hair-like feathers that fade to grey at the tips and a large gray stripe on her head. She has a short pink beak, and long curved eyelashes. She has pink markings underneath her eyes, which themselves have red sclera with light pupils. She 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.

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 kill Stolas for cheating on her, not caring about who gets in the way.

Stolas
Stolas is Stella's husband. Their marriage is strained and they frequently argue. In one argument regarding his affair with Blitzo, she scolds him for cheating on her with Blitzo since he's an Imp, calls him an embarrassment, and states that she doesn't want to spend another moment with him ever again. Due to the many hints that Stolas implied and given their royal status, it is highly possible their marriage was not out of love, which was shown when Stolas attempted to explain his situation to Octavia. Despite this, Stella heavily despises it when she learns of her husband's infidelity, especially when it's with lower ranking demons. This comes to the extent that she hires Striker to assassinate him.

Octavia
Octavia is Stella's daughter. It is unknown what relationship they have outside of being blood related as they have yet to interact in the show. However, they seem to be on amicable enough terms to be seen in a portrait together. Octavia hinted that her relationship with her parents was much more open and loving as a child, before they started fighting (thus igniting Octavia's moody personality). However, Stella was not shown to be willing to comfort her as a child after her nightmare, nor did she notice her enter the kitchen while berating Stolas, demonstrating she doesn't prioritize her daughter as much as her husband.

Striker
The relationship between Striker and Stella is unknown, but it's implied that Stella doesn't take failure from him very well and wants him to kill Stolas by any means.
