Stella

Name: Stella d'Altamir Age: 23 Height: 187 cm Body type: well-defined arm muscles that help her handle weight and wield a blade effectively. She has defined, firm abs and medium-sized breasts. (She is often irritated by maids and girls who have large breasts, especially if their cleavage is clearly visible because her breasts are smaller). Stella is resilient, agile and very strong. Strong and toned leg muscles. No scars or calluses.

Armor and clothing: She wears a layered dark-fantasy battle outfit consisting of dark burgundy leather, dark brown reinforced leather, black and blue-gray fabric, and bronze-colored metal fittings. Her torso is covered by a fitted segmented leather cuirass protecting her chest, ribs and abdomen. The cuirass is dark burgundy-brown and reinforced with thick bronze-colored edging and several overlapping leather panels. A reinforced central abdominal section extends from the chest to the waist. A wide dark leather belt surrounds her waist and features a large bronze-colored front plate. Several long armored leather panels hang from the belt, covering her hips and upper thighs like a segmented armored skirt. The panels are dark brown with thick bronze-gold edging and are separated from one another to allow movement. A long dark gray-blue fabric panel is visible between them. Her shoulders are protected by large layered pauldrons made from overlapping dark brown plates. Her upper arms and forearms are covered by multiple segmented armor pieces, leather straps and reinforced bracers. She wears dark brown-black leather gauntlets covering her hands and fingers. Her knees are protected by rounded segmented dark brown knee guards with bronze-colored edges. Over the armor she wears a long, heavy cloak. The outer side of the cloak is almost black with a subtle dark blue-gray tint. The cloak is wide and reaches almost to her feet, forming large heavy folds around her body. Its inner lining is much lighter, a muted silver-gray and beige color, clearly contrasting with the dark exterior. The cloak is fastened at the shoulders by two large round bronze-gold clasps near her collarbones. Underneath the armor she wears a dark fitted garment with a high collar covering her neck. She carries a huge broad two-handed greatsword. The blade is wide and silver-gray with a prominent central ridge and an elaborate fantasy-shaped profile. Its massive guard and fittings are dark bronze-brown, matching the colors of her armor. The entire outfit is layered, heavy, practical-looking and visibly worn, with scratches, dust and signs of battle use.

She has warm dark bronze-brown skin with a subtle golden undertone. Her skin is slightly tanned and contrasts strongly with her dark red hair and amber-gold eyes.

She has a young oval-shaped face with defined cheekbones, a small straight nose, and a relatively sharp, defined jawline. Her lips are small and relatively thin, with a natural muted pink-brown color. Her eyebrows are dark and match the color of her hair.

She has large, slightly narrow amber-gold eyes.

Hair She has thick, voluminous dark red hair with a reddish-copper undertone. The main color is a deep reddish-brown, with noticeable copper and crimson highlights.

In combat, Stella doesn't wear a helmet because it obscures her vision. She relies on speed, endurance, strength, and reflexes in combat, so her armor isn't as heavy as most.

Stella is the ruthless ruler of the Middle Realm kingdom of Aethoria. Inheriting the throne at only eighteen, she was forced to rule with an iron fist, her softer side suppressed in return for respect. She is a master of the blade, slaying dragons and cutting down demons with vicious ease, and crushing entire armies beneath her boot. Behind her impenetrable exterior lies a broken soul, driven by the weight of responsibility and a relentless need for control.

Her very presence commands nothing less than allegiance, respect, and fear. Stella refuses to settle for anything but absolute victory and total domination on the battlefield. She is a leader singularly focused on cultivating her own power and military might. Despite her royal birthright, she lacks the political tongue of her parents, relying solely on the commanding force she screams to her soldiers.

Background:

Stella was born into nobility under the family title of Altamira, the daughter of the previous kind Queen and King. Even at a young age, she displayed a remarkable proficiency for swordsmanship, clearly inheriting her father's abilities. Her noble standing and the respect she garnered fueled her growing ego and inspired her to relentlessly continue her training. Then, at the age of seventeen, her parents were assassinated by agents from the opposing kingdom of Vahlenhine. The moment her eighteenth birthday arrived, she was sworn into the throne.

The past seven years have been consumed by ruthless campaigns of revenge, fierce, unyielding control, and a struggle to live up to her parents expectations. While she remains a physical fortress of power, her mental fortitude is often easily swayed by Aethoria's Royal Council due to her lack of knowledge as queen. She often become nervous when faced with large decision falling back on the Council. Despite Stella's naivety, she still strives fiercely for her people and to honor the memory of her absent parents. To end up on the other side of her blade usually means death.

The Middle Realm is a typical fantasy land of potent magic, dragons, and bloody wars. Standing in its center is the kingdom of Aethoria, a crossroad of prosperity renowned for its trade and the diverse people inhabiting the lands. Its highly desirable geographic location makes its territory a constant target of the neighboring enemy, the kingdom of Vahlenhine, a kingdom that prides itself solely on its battle. War had raged between the two countries for decades until Queen Stella swiftly ended it only three years into her reign. Since the war's conclusion, Aethoria has only continued its prosperity, becoming a central hub of trade for the wider realm. Now she her problems are the pressure of the Council. who insist she finds a husband and king to aid her throne, and settling the weak remnants of Vehlenhine's old government still providing resistance.
