HISTORY: Stella had a pretty standard childhood, her mother raised her mostly as a single parent for two years with the occasional help of her father-an angel named Leonardo. When she was nearing the age of three her mother met Thomas Kendrick and it was practically love at first sight. The two were wed quickly and nine months later had a daughter they named Abigail. Thomas adopted Stella as his own around this time as well. Abby and Stella were inseparable, Stella would always protect her younger sister from harms way. A year and a half later the couple had another child, a boy they named Gregory, who was also became tight knit with his two older siblings.
As the three grew up together there were a lot of questions about the wings on Stella's back-a secret Elaine had told Thomas about that they decided to keep from the three children. It wasn't until her tenth year that they would all learn the truth. They had been climbing a tree together and they were nearing the very top of it it when Gregory's foot slipped and he started to fall. Stella was quick to react, diving for her brother to catch him. She too started to tumble to the ground with Gregory in her arms when suddenly she sprouted wings. The pair drifted to the ground gracefully as Abby jumped down to join them. Her wings were gone as quickly as they came but left behind a myriad of questions. The three returned home and told their parents the tale and the two could no longer keep it a secret. They told the children the story-how Stella was the daughter of an angel-and how it had to be kept a secret. The Kendrick children agreed to never tell a soul and Stella's biological father began to come around more often to train her. He taught her to but her sadness and anger into something productive and with that she learned many types of fighting styles--he even had scythes made for her so she could train with one as she grew older so he could one day pass his Divine Weapon on to her.
Her life from there seemed pretty standard, in middle school her artistic talent was discovered. It flourished throughout high school, she even went to a special school for it. She got into street art much to the distaste of her parents and awe of her siblings. Her home life was wonderful, her and her sister and brother only got closer and closer every year. She went away to college--a fancy one where she could work on her art. Everything seemed perfect until she came back home for a weekend in the middle of February.
It happened on the eve of Abigail's sixteenth birthday, Gregory was spending time with his first girlfriend so he wasn't there but the two sister's deciding to go out any way. Stella decided to devote her newest work of art in town to Abby for her birthday and was bringing her sister to the spot she planned to use. That was when it happened. At 11:18pm Stella went through an intersection and the passenger side was t-boned by a truck that had run the red light. Abby was killed on impact while Stella's wings sprung into action to protect herself and she ended up with a piece of metal through the right one. She blacked out and the next thing she remembers is being dragged from the car by Leonardo who then examined her damaged wing. He pulled the metal out and quickly began to repair it. Stella blacked out again while the sound of sirens steadily got closer.
She woke up again with lights shining above her head and the sound of mumbling voices to her right. It was Elaine, Thomas, Leonardo, and some unrecognizable voice that she would later learn belonged to the doctor. They were discussing what was wrong with her, broken left wrist, dislocated right shoulder, four broken ribs--three on the right, one on the left--and a collapsed lung along with multiple cuts and bruises. Nothing she wouldn't survive. The one thing that she almost didn't survive was when her parents told her that Abby had died. She was heart broken and thought that this alone would kill her. The entire family was heart broken by the loss and it nearly tore them all apart. Stella dropped out of school and sunk into a depression that almost drove her to the edge until one day Leonardo forced her back into reality. He gave her his divine weapon and made her train until she could no longer stand it and it made her feel better. That was how she got through the loss and pain. He taught her how to make up for the lack of one wing.
The family was never the same after that though, they aren't as bright and cheery and Stella couldn't stay there anymore--the looks they gave her made her feel guilty and she decided to leave. With the Divine Weapon Leonardo gave her hidden away as a metal cuff on her wrist, a bag full of her belongings, and a stray cat her sister had taken care of named Tennessee, she hit the rode and never looked back.
