Stella Green/Hooks
Animals: (Beast Affinity 4 - play as you choose if it applies to you) On occasion, Stella just might jaywalk across a rush-hour-busy boulevard to get to that dog someone is walking. From the smallest creature to a number of giant ones, she’s a sucker for animals, though the concept of a food chain doesn't seem to cause her dismay. Want to see her melt-down? Take her to a zoo. She is not too proud to refrain from having what is likely a one-sided conversation with a cat or a raven, for example. Typically menacing animals don’t automatically send her in the opposite direction. She might even be correctly accused of taking some less-than-wise risks when it comes to creatures great and small. She is also an avid equestrian in the sense that she learned to ride not long after she could walk and has continued to do so ever since.
Was that a dare? When not focused or formal, a relaxed and comfortable Stella finds games of most kinds intriguing. Furthermore, dares from the right company in the right context take some resolve on her part to resist (aside from the appalling, disgusting, or offensive).
Music: The young woman plays the ukelele with some facility (stop laughing). She enjoys singing but not for the sake of performance and has a perfectly adequate voice.
Stories: She can be a sucker for talented tale-spinners, along with theater of both spontaneous and formal varieties – unless she’s ‘working’. How do you know if she’s working? Good question.
Touchy touchy: If you have found your way into Stella’s favor, she can be spontaneously tactile on occasion.
The hills are alive... Given a choice between inside and outside (particularly in natural environments), outdoors will eventually, inevitably win.
Bygone: Are you one? She not only has been acquainted with more than her share of them, but she also is quite good at keeping secrets – no matter what guise she is wearing (see: chameleon). There’s a je ne sais quoi about her that can sometimes give the impression of invitation or that perhaps she has the good listener vibe even before a person becomes acquainted with the young woman. Are you a supernatural being? She’s met a few of those as well. (see secrets above)
Financial stability: Stella hasn’t wanted for much that can be bought in her brief years. Somehow, however, she doesn’t comport herself as if she is part of some exclusive club or frequently demand VIP treatment. Nor does she frequently wear ostentatious clothing or jewelry. However, most of her fashion choices tend to have at least one piece that is understated but high quality; in addition, she has the tendency to add to her outfits one piece that wasn’t meant to fit the 'look' at all. (see: bag) On a professional level, finance itself is a noteworthy part of her relatively early (beginning before finishing her degree) career in estate management.
What's in the bag? The brunette can usually be found carrying a sizable bag of some sort when she is out and about. Sometimes it’s a messenger bag strapped across her torso to hang at her hip. Other times it’s a large tote, or maybe a colorful backpack-style bag. She doesn’t seem to take great care in matching her bags with what she is wearing, nor does she behave as if said bag is fragile.
Friends in high places? Maybe one or two. But what do you consider a ‘high place’?
Visual Arts Her mother was a successful enough artist that someone deep enough in the art world would know the name Rae Green (perhaps along with the fact that the artist died quite young in a tragic, private plane crash approximately a decade ago). At university, Stella minored in visual arts and is, at the very least, competent in several mediums.
Chameleon (of a sort): Depending on the situation, you might see an entirely different Stella. For a start, there’s the mostly-friendly pragmatist and negotiator. There’s also the cultivated, socially adept model of decorum and tranquility (™ Chess). Then there’s the imaginative, playful, too-curious-for-her-own-good, free spirit (most often encountered in natural settings). Are any or all of these versions of the young twenty-something intentional masks she wears? Have you met another version? Is she something else entirely? Who is the young woman, really? You be the judge!
