Stella's Links
Stella met Chiaki through Chou, her best friend and his twin sister. Her initial impression was that he disliked her from his lack of eye contact. Chou often tells her stories about Chiaki which she finds adorable and wants to know him better.
Chiaki met Stella through his twin sister. He was immediately infatuated with the beautiful stylist, but this only makes him awkward and tongue tied around her. He'd love to ask her out, but he can hardly make eye contact without turning into a blushing, stuttering mess.
Ollie met Stella through her work as a stylist for Pokemon contests. Stella is one of the very few people trusted with Ollie's secret. She helps Ollie prep for contests and also by covering for him in tight situations that could expose him, even if it means diverting her best friend and biggest Nova fan from the truth.
Ollie knows Stella as a regular stylist for the Pokemon contests. She is a very fashionable and sweet person, who is easily trusted to keep his secret just that. Even though her best friend is one of Nova's biggest followers, she has often kept Ollie out of her view and helped him out of tough spots.
Chou is Stella's best friend, who can often be found lurking around Pokemon contests looking for a scoop for her blog. The two met when Stella caught Chou trying to sneak in to get info on Nova. Stella liked Chou's enthusiasm for Pokemon contests and quickly became best friends.
Stella is Chou's best friend. When she set out on her journey alone she didn't run into many others - mostly because she liked going to odd locations like allegedly haunted woods and secluded areas where legendary pokemon were said to reside. When she became obsessed with popular coordinator Nova however, she ran into Stella at a contest. Chou was trying to sneak into a restricted area and was caught by her; she didn't let her pass but she also didn't report her so she was still able to watch the contest and her pictures of Nova from afar. She ran into Stella after the contest and bombarded her with questions; the other girl made the mistake of humoring her and they've been friends ever since. Chou admires her friend's looks and skill - not to mention how close she gets to Nova - and has been trying to set the girl up with her twin.
Stella met Zed as kids in the same hometown. As an only child, she enjoyed playing with Zed and treated him as her own little brother. After he moved to Alola, the two lost contact with each other for years. Stella barely recognized Zed when he confronted her after returning. She still sees him as a good friend despite his time as a grunt in Alola.
Zed met Stella as kids in the same hometown. Being younger, he started calling her "big sis" and viewed her as such. Soon after, Zed moved to Alola where he grew up and eventually joined Team Skull. After quitting, he returned to his hometown and set off to see Stella again, where he unknowingly provoked a confession from Chiaki to Stella. He feels somewhat protective over her, but is willing to accept whoever she chooses.
