Stella

Overview

Stella is a former pop idol turned pet shop owner who runs Woof & Wow Pets on the north side of Starsand Town. After two years as an idol, she hung up her headset and left the entertainment industry to follow her true passion: taking care of animals. She now lives a quieter life on Starsand Island, tending to her shop by day and performing music at Aurelis's restaurant in the evenings.

Stella is one of 15 romanceable characters. Her lively, pop-punk personality and dual life as pet lover and performer make her one of the most colorful characters on the island.

Personality

Stella is impulsive, fun, and driven, with heaps of passion for everything she does. She is energetic, imaginative, and expressive. Players have described her as giving off strong "main character in a rhythm mini-game" energy. She can turn her hand to anything she puts her mind to, whether running the pet shop or performing music. Despite stepping away from the spotlight, her pop-punk dreamer spirit still shines through in everything she does.

Relationships

Serena is Stella's lifelong best friend and former personal stylist and stage manager from her idol days. When Stella moved to Starsand Island, Serena followed her. Solara is another close friend: the three of them form a tight-knit group on the island. Stella's cousin Sylvain also followed her to the island and opened a music shop, suggesting musical talent runs in the family.

Stella has two personal pets: a dog named Pudding and a parrot named Peanut.

Where to find Stella

During the day, Stella can be found at Woof & Wow Pets on the north side of Starsand Town, near Hattie's House and the Community Center. The shop is open from 08:00 to 22:00.

In the evenings, she performs music at Aureleaf Kitchen (Aurelis's restaurant), reflecting her dual life as pet caretaker and musician.

Her bedroom is inside the Woof & Wow Pets building, but you need at least 3 hearts (370 AP) before you can enter.

Woof & Wow Pets shop

Woof & Wow Pets is the island's pet shop where players can purchase animals and buy pet care supplies. Starsand Island features 12 animals in total, of which 9 are adoptable through the open-world befriending system and 2 (Scrappy and Nana) are purchasable directly from Stella.

Store pets

Open-world adoptable pets

Nine additional animals can be found wandering the island: 404 (ragdoll cat), Meow Alum (cat), Crescent (cat), Sheriff (cat), Bobo (Shiba Inu), Mellowhen (capybara), Octa (fox), and Zippy (squirrel). To adopt them, you must increase their Affection to level 3 through daily interactions. Greeting, feeding their favorite foods, and petting.

Note: Booboo (panda) is the 12th animal but is not adoptable she has her own friendship system at Cloudrest Lake based on feeding Fresh Bamboo Shoots.

Pet care blueprints

Stella sells pet care supply blueprints for 100-110 coins each, including pet house designs (Meadow Roof, Sweet Pink Roof), water bowls (Fresh Daisy, Blue Sky, Puppy Paw), and pet beds (Blue Cat Claw, Plush Teddy, Cloud Puff, Nature Stump).

The shop also is a selling point where players can sell items from their inventory.

Quests and role

Stella is involved in the 404 Kitten Rescue quest. When you encounter the stray ragdoll cat named 404, Pastelle triggers a quest requiring you to craft a Bamboo Cat Ear Pet Bed (requires 1 Bamboo Strip and 3 Flannel). After crafting the bed, you bring it to Stella at Woof & Wow Pets, who reveals the kitten's location so you can finalize the adoption.

She posts Bulletin Board requests that grant between 15 and 25 Affection Points when completed. As the game expands beyond Early Access, deeper story quests related to her idol backstory are expected.

Romance

Stella triggers a special meet-cute cutscene the first time you encounter her. Her romance route is described as lively and full of personality, matching her pop-punk energy. As your Affection grows, you learn more about her decision to leave the idol industry and her evolving relationship with music and performance.

At Heart Level 3, you can enter her bedroom inside Woof & Wow Pets, which contains a treasure chest with exclusive decor. At Heart Level 5, you can ask her to move in with you. She will then help around the farm. Clearing debris, tending animals, and watering plants.
