Stella

She/Her - Starry Witch - Lesbian

In a forest nearby the town, Stella resides in a small hut with her girlfriend Gale selling medicine and potions to whoever visits them as they both take care of the forest. Together, they live simply off of the land as they take in the nature around them. Stella wouldn’t have wanted it any other way, although unbeknownst to many she wasn’t originally from the town or from the dimension she lives in now. She is from a place where magic was abundant and time stood still as the centuries passed by in a fairytale land. She was never from the bustling cities of the future or the suburbs around, rather she came from a place very few know how to access. She didn’t voluntarily go to where she lives now but rather she is trapped, unable to go back home as the way she came from led nowhere.

It had happened suddenly one day as she was outside picking flowers to place inside her hut, as she noticed that the landscape suddenly started to look off. While her hut was still there when she returned, nothing else was. The forest she’d lived in all her life seemed to change the further and further she went, until she noticed the suburb in front of her. Unfamiliar with the structure, she ran back home to her hut and slept hoping that it was all just a dream. However, with each day that passed aside from her hut there was none of the landmarks that were deemed familiar to her; the nearby town’s windmill was replaced by a large water tower, her mother’s house replaced by a fishing dock, and the lake she used to swim in was now a radioactive lake. She had no idea where she was but upon asking the few kalons she encountered, she was in a completely different time period and even a different dimension; nothing added up. The residents estimated that the world she was in was about a thousand years into the future from her previous one. 

Distressed, Stella spent days that later turned into months trying to figure out a way to get back home as the town was too busy and noisy as she was practically unfamiliar with everything. Displaced across realities, she found that whatever way she came from she would be unable to go back. Finally after a year, Stella accepted that she would never be able to see her family and friends again back home for possibly the rest of her life. But upon looking at the stars one night, she saw what seemed to be a large comet heading down into the earth but as she realized it seemed to be what the residents called a rocket, it crashed and exploded nearby as she rushed to investigate. In the smoking wreckage, she noticed a gravely injured kalon. Without hesitation, she jumped in to help her as she dragged her out of the ship. 

She quickly learned her name was Gale, who seemed to lack memories aside from her own name and that she survived her supposed execution. Over the next few months, as Gale started to regain her lost memories Stella took care of her as they both bonded over their circumstances. Over time, even when Gale got better she was now a permanent resident in her hut in which they both fell in love. For once, Stella didn’t feel alone in her predicament and now many of the residents of the town started to warm up to them both.

As of currently, Stella is still learning about the world around her through the help of her new friends. She’s also been able to get in contact with kalons from her old life through another kalon she knows who can hop through dimensions; while Taffy is unable to take back Stella and Gale, she could at least update them on Stella’s wellbeing. After many years, she’s unsure if she would go back given the chance; while her old friends and much of her family reside back home, in her new home she can easily contact them and she has a new life in the world she’s stuck in. Over time, she’s grown to appreciate the new world she’s in...
