Stella is a surgeon who works at Shortland Street hospital. Can be randomly mildly misandrist on occasion, but otherwise she's pleasant and hard-working. Was sexually harassed by Al Bryant, fapping to her in front of her while talking dirty; it shook her pretty hard. Stella has been grieving and somewhat lost since her boyfriend Rahu died on New Years Eve. She is of Maori descent. She has a Maori-design tattoo on her left lower torso. Her best friend Quinn was shot and killed last year as well.
