Stella is a fair and kind-hearted woman but can be stern when the situation requires it. She's also known for her creative problem solving.
Lady Stella is always looking for a solution, which is why she recruited the Star Darlings entirely in secret after coming across the ancient oracle in a long-forgotten book. She believes the twelve girls can fulfill the prophecy by sneaking off to Wishworld and granting the wishes of young Wishlings. Though this has never been tried before, Lady Stella is just bold enough to attempt it. She also discovered how Starlings could make more Wishlings make good wishes by not only focusing on the wisher, which resulted in her joining the Wish-Tank.

Powers and Abilities[]
Starling Physiology[]
Being a Starling, Lady Stella possesses all of the natural traits that the species has.
- Wish Energy Manipulation - Lady Stella harnesses positive wish energy for most of her abilities.
- Energy Blasts - As displayed in The Power of Twelve, wish energy can be used to fire streams, bursts, orbs, and waves of offensive power against opponents.
- Force Fields - Demonstrated in the above special, Starlings can conjure shields as defense.
- Extended Lifespan - In Scarlet Discovers True Strength, it’s confirmed that Starlings can live for thousands of years, as Mira’s grandmother is over thousands of years old. Before that, in Leona's Unlucky Mission it was hinted that a few decades wasn’t too long in comparison to Wishling lifespans. However, they do not have eternal youth, as Professor Elara Ursa is stated to be among one of the oldest wish granters and has clearly aged in a similar manner to a wishling elder.
- Disease Immunity - In Scarlet Discovers True Strength, it states that the wish energy surrounding Starlings keeps them from contracting illnesses.
- Superhuman Knowledge - In Leona's Unlucky Mission, Starlings are shown to be nigh-perfect at mathematics from birth. Astra's Mixed-Up Mission also implies that Starlings are the same way towards towards literature and similar subjects such as language and grammar.
Trivia[]
- While studying at the Starling Academy, Stella used a glowing pink ball dangling from a delicate gold chain as her wish pendant during Practice Wish Orb Mastery class.
- Lady Stella was originally named Cassiopeia Patricia Albright. This was most likely changed to avoid confusion with Cassie, a member of the Star Darlings.
- Cassiopeia is the name of a constellation, which in turn is named after Cassiopeia in Greek mythology from the myth of Andromeda.
