Background / History

Stella was born with unprecedented magical power, but its backlash wounded her whenever she used it. Her family and countrymen initially believed she could never become a knight. Rather than accept that judgment, she trained through repeated serious injuries for three years until she could control her Mana and flames. 1220 1262

As the second princess of the relatively weak Vermillion Empire, Stella views powerful Blade-Breakers as essential to a nation's survival. After surpassing every available opponent in her home country, she enrolled at Hagun Academy to seek stronger rivals and become capable of protecting the people she loves. 1220 1260

At Hagun, her first duel with Luo Zhen ends in a crushing defeat after his Chains of Admonition seals her Mana. The loss becomes the starting point of a persistent rivalry and motivates her to challenge him repeatedly. 1222 1230

Luo Zhen later identifies that Stella has mistaken a Dragon-related Concept Interference Ability for ordinary fire manipulation. She accepts Dragon Blood to awaken that hidden power, briefly loses control, and then begins mastering it under his guidance. 1258 1260 1262

Appearance

Stella is a young princess with crimson eyes. When using her power, she is surrounded by crimson-lotus flames that distort the air with extreme heat. 1220 1262

• Her awakened Dragon Power manifests through a brand-like red wound on her chest. 1262 1286
• Dragon God Possession gives her a dragon-like transformation and the physical traits of a mythical dragon. 1264 1283
• Her Inherent Spirit Armor is a large flaming greatsword. 1220

Personality

Stella is proud, intensely competitive, and always eager to fight opponents who can force her to grow. She does not seek strength merely for prestige; her ambition is rooted in protecting the Vermillion Empire and its people. 1220 1232

Though quick-tempered and prone to impulsive reactions, she can reflect on her conduct and apologize when she recognizes she has acted poorly. Her clashes with Shizuku and her early hostility toward Luo Zhen gradually give way to responsibility, trust, and respect. 1235 1248 1249

She is also more thoughtful in battle than her reputation for overwhelming firepower suggests. Stella employs feints, illusions, ranged pressure, and calculated gambles when direct force is insufficient. 1256 1330

Abilities & Skills

Exceptional Mana and Physical Ability

Stella possesses the world's greatest recorded Mana capacity among incoming students, with thirty times the average amount. Her entrance profile rates her Attack Power, Defense Power, Mana Pool, and Luck at A-rank, with B-rank Mana Control and Physical Strength. 1215

• Can sustain extreme heat and high-output techniques that other students cannot withstand. 1255 1256
• Uses Mana to reinforce her body and defense; opponents with insufficient Mana may be unable to break through her Mana Defense. 1306
• Her extraordinary reserves initially allowed her to remain powerful despite misunderstanding her own ability. 1258

Dragon-Concept Interference

Stella's true ability is not simple flame manipulation, but Concept Interference linked to the concept of “Dragon.” Her flames contain Dragon Qi, while her unnatural physical techniques derive from draconic power. 1259

• Recreates dragon-like strength, vitality, and other traits when fully activated. 1264 1284
• Grants strength sufficient to knock aside the Chains of Admonition, which had previously restrained her with ease. 1284
• Greatly increases her heat output and physical power beyond her normal fire-user state. 1284 1330
• Requires immense quantities of Mana and internal heat; prolonged use is unsustainable without better control. 1264 1286

Dragon God Possession

Dragon God Possession is Stella's name for awakening her dormant Dragon Power by raising her temperature and Mana output to their limits. 1286

• Transforms her into a dragon-like form while granting the strength and vitality of a mythical dragon. 1264 1283
• Allows her to contend at a world-class level and is considered capable of breaking Kurogane Ouma's defenses. 1308 1392
• Cannot be maintained indefinitely; the Dragon Power eventually falls dormant after exhausting her Mana and heat. 1286
• Initially caused a berserk state that threatened to devastate Hagun Academy before Luo Zhen restrained and guided her. 1262 1263

Flame Manipulation

Before realizing the nature of her Dragon ability, Stella fought as a Natural Interference fire-user. Her flames normally reach approximately 3,000°C and can reduce ordinary material to ash. 1220 1258

• Uses flames for direct attacks, defensive protection, battlefield control, and deception. 1254 1256
• Can raise her heat to temperatures approaching the surface of the sun after integrating Dragon Blood. 1330
• Melted Todo Touka's Inherent Spirit Armor, Raikiri, before its slash could strike her. 1330

Inherent Spirit Armor: Dragonic Sin Sword

Stella materializes her soul as Dragonic Sin Sword, a magnificent, heavy greatsword formed from scorching flames. 1220

• Serves as the focus for her Blade-Breaker Techniques. 1254
• Can deliver dragon-strength cleaves powerful enough to shatter a training ground. 1284
• Channels her flames into large-scale destructive attacks. 1254 1284

Blade-Breaker Techniques

• Dragon's Maw / Hell Dragon's Maw — Tracking flame bombardments that manifest as fire dragons and turn the surrounding area into a high-temperature hell. 1254
• Heat Haze Curtain — Refracts light with heat to create illusions, hide Stella's true position, and enable surprise attacks. 1256
• Dragon Shock Stomp — A ground stomp that creates violent tremors and widespread destruction; its existence helped reveal her draconic power. 1256 1258
• Dragonic Sin Robe — A fiery robe that combines offense and defense, burning nearby enemies while protecting Stella. 1256
• Dragonic Nest — Converts the battlefield into a magma pool through fissures created by her sword. 1284
• Calusaritio Salamander — Her strongest known Blade-Breaker Technique, producing a massive pillar of fire. 1284

Relationships

• Luo Zhen / Lorelei Annerose — Initially her rival after defeating her on her first day; later becomes her roommate, mentor, and trusted friend who helps awaken and train her Dragon Power. 1222 1248 1285 1321
• Ikki Kurogane — A fellow student and rival whom Stella recognizes as a worthy challenge after witnessing his rapid growth. 1230 1308
• Shizuku Kurogane — Her former roommate and early rival; their argument over Ikki nearly destroys their dormitory. They later show concern for one another's matches. 1245 1248 1287
• Shinguji Kuroono — Hagun Academy's chairperson, who recognizes Stella's potential and entrusts Luo Zhen with training her. 1242
• Todo Touka — A powerful sparring opponent whom Stella defeats by using overwhelming heat to melt Raikiri. 1329 1330
• Kurogane Ryoma — An opponent whose resilience allows him to endure Stella's strongest Blade-Breaker Technique, forcing her to confront the limits of her power. 1374

Story Role / Major Arcs

Enrollment and rivalry with Luo Zhen

Stella arrives at Hagun Academy as a celebrated princess with the world's strongest Mana. Her first clash with Luo Zhen ends in defeat, but she refuses to accept the result and continues pursuing a proper rematch. 1215 1222 1230

Awakening the Dragon

After Luo Zhen identifies the inconsistency in Dragon Shock Stomp, Stella learns that her ability is connected to the Dragon concept. She drinks Dragon Blood despite the risks, survives a berserk awakening, and gains control of Dragon Power. 1258 1260 1262 1264

Dragon Power training

Stella spars with Luo Zhen hundreds of times to refine her new abilities. Although he continues defeating her, she learns to bypass his chain defense and forces him to use powers beyond the Chains of Admonition. 1284 1285 1286

Seven Star Sword Festival selection battles

Stella defeats top-ten third-year Momotani Samurai in under three seconds during her first selection match. She later defeats Todo Touka by luring out Raikiri and melting the sword with amplified Dragon Blood-fueled heat. 1287 1330

Notable Quotes

“Let's have a decisive match!” 1220

“Since my defense isn't strong enough to withstand Senior Touka's family heirloom sword, and I can't see through the slash and speed of Raikiri, I'll just break the sword and make Raikiri fall apart on its own!” 1330

Trivia

• Stella's initial understanding of herself as a fire mage persisted because her immense Mana made that mistaken interpretation overwhelmingly effective. 1258

• She has an exceptionally large appetite, particularly after expending Mana and heat. 1264 1300
• Her destructive training matches become notorious enough that Hagun students hope not to face her in selection battles. 1285
