Stella is very well spoken and knows how to navigate her way through a conversation, be it simply to make the discourse flow, make an appeal, or otherwise just get her way. One could even say she is a good liar though Stella likes to think of it as just being verbally flexible and convincing. [b]Profession:[/b] Waitress at Shogun Sushi [img]https://img3.pillowfort.social/posts/00badb68073c_4.gif[/img] [b]Bio & Personality:[/b] Stella is best described as polite, witty, learned, and courteous though at times private and even outright distant. She was born in Tokyo on February of nineteen sixty-three to an American father and a Japanese mother, her father Roger was a veteran of the Second World War and nearly twice her mother’s age. Stella and her mother Sakai lived in poverty and when Stella was four her mother wrote to Roger who had moved back to America and was now living in Delta City, appealing that he help get Stella to the United States. Stella’s father would help get both Stella and her mother to the United States though he refused to take them in and continue his relationship with Sakai as he had an American wife and children. Sakai spent the next twelve years working long hours at two different jobs to provide for herself and her daughter. When Stella was sixteen her mother died of a stroke from chronic stress and high blood pressure. Roger immediately after reached out to his estranged daughter and offered to let her stay with him and his wife to which the young and embittered Stella swallowed her pride and agreed to. While Roger worked to accommodate and help his daughter his wife cared little for Stella who was after all a product of Roger’s infidelity while he was stationed in Japan. She made life miserable for Stella in every little way she could and she and her husband fought frequently over the next two years. At eighteen when Stella graduated high school her grades were too poor for scholarships to pay for college. Roger offered to help pay for Stella’s schooling despite the outrageous protests from Roger’s wife. In nineteen eighty-one Stella left Delta City for the upper east coast where she would study at a liberal arts college. She made several friends and was introduced to rock music along the lines of AC/DC, Kiss, Aerosmith, and Led Zeppelin and also took a liking to The Beach Boys, a surf band. Marijuana and alcohol also a new aspect to her life and before long the young student began to slowly neglect her studies and instead became more interested in a fast life of partying. She also frequented rallies against government activity and meddling in foreign countries as well as various civil rights protests on campus as well as off. In the spring of nineteen eighty-three Roger would die in a car accident at the age of fifty-eight, the autopsy report later saying his accident was caused by a heart attack while at the wheel. Stella returned home for the funeral, her father’s will leaving her little as most of his possessions and money went to his wife and their two sons. Depressed, disoriented, and dissatisfied with her waning performance at school Stella dropped out of college and moved into a small apartment back in Delta City leaving her unfinished studies behind. She would spend the next few years bouncing between jobs ranging from cafe waitress to clerk with her inheritance and leftover college money on the side keeping her afloat. All the while maintaining her interest in select literature and studies - and drug habits - on the side. Despite the rough ride that life has been so far Stella has for the most part kept her spirit and maintained a healthy optimistic persona. While sometimes seemingly disconnected or even cold she is loyal to the few friends she has and reminds herself that she has the potential to make life better, even after her stumbles. Still her struggles do wear her down at times and she descends into alcohol and drug abuse in spurts as a last “therapeutic front”. This has often lead her to keeping questionable company in recent years. Paired with her persuasive persona Stella has also at times shown to be somewhat flirtatious though typically just as a last ditch attempt when her charisma come short of necessary outcome.

The pay is decent enough that she can afford rent and other expenses though just barely, leaving little money for any sort of extra luxury or treat. She also recently ended a long term relationship with her now ex-boyfriend due to abuse both verbal and physical. Her drug usage hasn’t picked up in a while but that is mostly due to how tight her funds are at the moment. In her spare time she has been taking to the gym, Mandarin Park, and the library when she can. For now she is simply trying to maintain a certain stability while Focusing on saving what little money she can for her future, whatever it may hold.
