Stella

An in-demand special effects expert & licensed pyrotechnician working in the film industry. Renowned for doing more with less to lengths that others feel impossible, creating stunning practical effects at the drop of a hat and a fraction of the budget. Only ever responds to inquiries therein with "trade secret!" and a wink ;)

Sweet & kind with both a disarming bubbliness & a surprising worldliness about her that causes people to place a lot of weight in her words. Always has a story about vacationing here, studying the culture of there, having a good friend from wherever that you should meet, they cook a mean [local dish]. 

On the rare occasion it's required—like someone ignoring the set's safety procedures or spouting hateful nonsense—she's capable of unleashing a brutal dressing-down that will leave the target with their tail firmly tucked between their legs, no matter if they're a big-shot executive or a brute twice her size.

Hobbies include playing a variety of string instruments, clubbing, and stargazing (when she can get away from the city).
