How I roleplay Stella Goetia, a Thread:
Stella Goetia is an interesting character, a well designed royal bird lady who is both graceful AND deadly. The character at first had a lot of potential, but in the end her canon personality boiled down to 'Evil witch who hates Stolas.' - - -

"I don't believe I said that I didn't want to see you again, I just... wanted you to know how that hurt."
Stella pauses, she's surprised at her own self-control and understanding.
"Again, I'm not entirely blaming you, this is far from something unforgivable for me. Let's think of something."

🐍 “I….I never should have said that…I’m sorry…”
She glances up.
“I….I really like you Stella….I want to try to fix things….. But I know that my actions hurt you…. And I….. understand if you don’t want to see me again….”

Stella blinked, sitting back in the chair she was borrowing for the moment. An tone of hurt can be heard within the swan's voice, as she gazes down on the rabbit. "Well.. As much as I'd love to just forgive and forget, what is there to talk about? You broke up with me during that spat."

"I see, I see. I will have to keep that in mind- I have a chauffeur that drives me places, so I am not without transport. It is driving MYSELF around is the problem. It seems fun, other than the large number of laws, and the people who ignore them."
"Reason why my personal rides are custom fit... if i may recommend a model and brand your highness, one that has enough room from factory, the Ford Falcon Futura '77, it can fit up to 7'6 from factory, and it's easy to remove the back seats for taller still individuals."
And it's a good car.
And it's a good car.
"I WOULD drive myself around, but the damage I'd cause from road rage would be too great.. Plus finding a automobile that gives me a comfortable amount of room would be quite difficult.."

She frantically wiped her tears.
“I wanna….talk about us….and….where we go from here…..”
She didn’t want to lose Stella. She still couldn’t believe the princess was here with her.

"...To be quite honest, I myself am quite surprised how... controlled I am being. Usually a confrontation like this would have been much more... explosive."
Stella admits, leaning down and gently wiping the tears away from Delilah's eyes. "Would you like to talk about it, my dear?"

"Even though we've long been divorced and moved on with our lives.. I sometimes wonder what kind of chaos Stolas has gotten himself into today.."

Several times does Stella's expression change throughout the explanation that he gives her, from shock to confusion to annoyance to outright rage. Her face hardens into a cold contemplation as she stares up at him. "That is- Grr.. Anyway... Thank you for telling me all this. This is... Insane."
"This is just the royalty aspect, it becomes much worse..."

She dug her claws into her arm.
“I’m…still really upset about what happened too….But I guess I’m not as good at controlling my emotions as you….”
Her eyes began to tear up.

"Call it a case of extreme self-control, something that I didn't know that I had. I am still very, VERY upset at everything that happened, do not misunderstand." Stella nods, staring down at Delilah with a very controlled composure.

Stella thought about it for a moment and then nodded. It would be better to get the news firsthand from whoever was actually down here in the situation rather than secondhand. "That would be very well appreciated."
"Well your highness, if a briefing is what you need... i could share the information, far as i know, although i highly doubt to know the full scope i'm confident in knowing enough."
He offered, informing her was well within what he could do.

The goetia thinks, and then nods. "I will... Take the necessary precautions and make sure that there is a safe and well-stocked place my daughter and myself can live in until this all blows over. Although I still very much need to brief myself on the situation, I've been gone for quite a while."

"I'd suggest stocking on essentials... given what's coming, to minimize potential problems... perhaps also if there is an underground cellar consider it as a security room?"

“I just don’t….why are you being so….calm about all this….It’s…. Starting to freak me out….”
Delilah felt a pain in her chest….and she knew it wasn’t from her injuries….

"Hmm. I wouldn't quite say that and I don't blame JUST you, the circumstances were... if i'm to be honest- just really shitty." Stella isn't going to keep driving it home that it is more Orchid's fault everything fell apart. It would make things worse, plus Stella knew it wouldn't feel good to.

Her tail rattled.

Stella looked down at Delilah's injuries and then back up to her face. "I would hope so. Those wounds that he gave you don't look like they'll heal for a while."
The swan slightly smirks to herself. "I won't find Orchid on my couch waiting to talk to me when I go home, will I?"

Stella closed her eyes for a moment, and then pinched the bridge of her beak. "I can't leave or look away for a fucking SECOND, can I..."
The goetia sighs. "Again, good luck and stay safe. I'd offer some help, but unfortunately this kind of thing goes far, FAR beyond my reach of influence."

"That it is... but i assume it has to do with the king having a confrontation with Archangel Michael, roughly a month ago. Far as sources confirmed, he'd be coming down himself during the next extermination... events aside, things look rather grim."
He didn't sugarcoat it, it looked BAD.
He didn't sugarcoat it, it looked BAD.

Delilah put her arms down, a bit disappointed that she didn’t get a hug. But she wasn’t going to complain about it.

Stella holds a finger out. "Do remind your child that if she values her life she will not again take on the frankly monumentally stupid task of infiltrating a goetia's abode. Sinners have been executed for less." Stella holds another finger up. "Keep this 'Avid' far, -far- away from me."

He's also not particularly happy with being decked in metal and torn leather.

"My that is QUITE the suit of armor you are wearing. Do you have some sort of duel you will be participating in?" Stella inquires whilst looking him up and down.
He's just... observing.
He's been decked in armor over the last two weeks so this almost passed him by.
"Glad to know you're back your highness."
Ignore the bulky midnight blue armor... and the leather... and the bones...

Hello my dear subjects, I have returned. I have recently gotten myself a lovely new sofa and have become- as commoners say- a couch potato. We hope you are all doing and living well- but not as well as I, of course. -Stella

She paused, looking down at her lap.
“Stella….look… I’m…really sorry…. About Orchid breaking into your home…. Me yelling at you…. Avid trying to k!ll you…… I’m sorry about everything….”

Stella looks down at herself, almost having forgotten she was still in disguise. "Oh right."
Fire erupts from underneath her, travelling up her body and transforming it back into that tall goetia maiden Delilah was used to. "There we go, all back to normal. So.. How should we start this talk?"

She did genuinely miss her, and not just for her beauty. She was incredibly lonely the past few days she spent recovering from Avid’s attack.

Instead of sitting on the bed next to her, Stella pulled up a chair from nearby and sat down on it- entirely comfortable for her shapeshifted form.
"I agree. Any more time spent -not- talking about it will make it even further awkward and uncomfortable to talk about."

“Thanks Princess…..”

“Sit down….I think it’s time we….talked about what happened….”

With her cover blown, the 'hellhounds' demeanor shifted back. Stella gently pushed into the Rabbit hole and shut the door behind her. "I guess my acting skills have failed me."
Reaching down, Stella lifts Delilah with one arm, carrying her to her room and placing the sinner back in her bed.

Seeing as Delilah was a smart woman- she would probably figure out that the pink and white hellhound with expertly done eyelashes before her straight up was just Stella disguised.. Or it was a very, VERY large coincidence. "..Yeah. Let's go with that first one, miss. May I come in?"
