| ~ Stella talking to Striker over the phone while infront of her husband (who is not listening), also her most famous quote. |
| “ | Fine. I have no desire to stay in the place of a traitorous embarrassment. You have fallen from what little grace you had... and I know you'll pay for it. | „ |

Princess Stella of the Ars Goetia is the main antagonist of the adult animated black comedy web series Helluva Boss.
She is the vindictive ex-wife and archenemy of Stolas, the mother of Octavia, and a member of the royal Ars Goetia family of Hell. After finding out her husband cheated on her with the imp Blitzo, she ruthlessly plotted his assassination and plans to kill him for his infidelity using any means necessary. While she gives up on outright killing Stolas in Episode 4 of Season 2 with some convincing from her brother Andrealphus that he is more valuable alive, she still remains an enemy of the protagonists.
She is voiced by Georgina Leahy.
Biography[]
From the little we know of Stella's backstory, she has seemingly been a violent person since childhood and was forced into an arranged marriage with Stolas to produce an heir, which eventually succeeded with Octavia. While the family was somewhat-normal in their early days, it started getting worse with the years as Stolas and Stella began to distance themselves from each other, with the latter badmouthing the former to other royalty while he is present. One day, Stolas cheated on Stella with Blitzo, resulting in a divorce.
"Loo Loo Land"[]
In her first appearance, she is angrily ranting at Stolas for sleeping with an imp in their bed and storms out, destroying some of Stolas' plants as she does.
"The Harvest Moon Festival"[]
The end of the episode establishes her as a dangerous villain when it is revealed that she hired Striker to assassinate Stolas. When Striker calls to tell her he failed due to I.M.P. getting in the way and ensures her it wouldn't happen again, she warns him that it better not as she tells him to deal with anybody who gets in his way.
"Ozzie's"[]
While she only appears as a figment of Stolas's imagination, the episode reveals that Stella divorced her husband and split custody of Octavia. By the time of the episode proper, Octavia is living with Stella for the weekend, though it is not confirmed if Stella has called her plans off or is continuing them.
"The Circus"[]
She's first shown in a childhood picture by Paimon to Stolas as he announces their engagement during their child years, with her angrily strangling a dog in said picture, leaving the young Stolas understandably horrified knowing that he would one day have to marry such a violent and cruel person when he grew up.
In the flashback to the day Stolas reunited with Blitz, Stella hosts a party celebrating how she and Stolas still weren't divorced. She then goes out of her way to humiliate Stolas by commenting on how seemingly bad he is at sex in bed, making a point of looking directly at him in the face as she refers to him as a "pathetic" man, to Stolas' fury. The next morning when Blitz splatters a cake in her face and reveals that he had sex with her husband, she angrily demands an explanation from Stolas. Stolas then declares that it was the start of their divorce and emphasizes his point by gleefully ripping the "not" off of the "not divorced" banner Stella had hung up for the party, adding to Stellas humiliation.
She's seen at the end of the episode in the present, the night after the incident at Ozzie's. She hears Stolas mournfully singing about the tragedies of his life and angrily demands that he stop, referring to his woes as "annoying and silly". When Stolas asks why she even bothered staying in the house with him despite the disastrous downfall of their marital life, she gleefully admits that she stays with him purely because she enjoys making him miserable and tormenting him with his affair with Blitz. Stolas admits that he would've felt bad if what he had done had hurt her feelings but points out that he didn't hurt her because they had never loved each other to begin with, their marriage having been arranged solely to provide the Goetia family with a precautionary heir (Octavia) and that the only reason he put up with Stellas abuse was to provide Octavia with some semblance of a normal life. And now that the illusion of a happy family has effectively been destroyed, Stolas demands that Stella leave the palace and his life and that they are officially getting a divorce. Angered by Stolas' defiance, Stella threatened to get the rest of the Goetia family (Andrealphus specifically) involved if he tries to leave her and moves to strike him, only for Stolas to catch her hand mid swing and tell her he doesn't care for her brothers threats and points out that the rest of the Goetia family already got what they wanted from the marriage (Octavia) and won't care for what becomes of them now before firmly telling her that he's finished with her. Begrudgingly conceding, she agrees to leave, but not before labeling Stolas a "traitorous embarrassment" who had completely fallen from grace, concluding with her sinisterly warning him that he would pay for his defiance.
"Seeing Stars"[]
She does not appear in the episode but can be heard having an argument through the phone with Stolas. Most of what she says is not really understandable, other than her mentioning that she'll take everything Stolas owns and some squawking.
"Western Energy"[]
She and her brother Andrealphus meet with Stolas at a restaurant where they attempted to get more compensation from him for cheating on her. Stolas pointed out that she didn't care for their arranged marriage or him and that she isn't owed anything from his perspective. She only responds by childishly flipping him off, to Andrealphus's annoyance since her attitude was making the situation "harder to bullshit". At that moment Striker bursts into the restaurant trying to kill Stolas with blessed pistols. Stolas barely dodges the bullet and notices Stellas smug smile towards, making no secret of her being the one who hired the assassin.
Striker captures Stolas and later reveals that Stella had paid him to torture her ex-husband to death rather than immediately execute him. At Andrealphus's palace, she gleefully admits that she had sent Striker after Stolas. Andrealphus points out how shortsighted her plan was, since Stolas already had an heir in Octavia and that she would inherit all of Stolas' possessions and legions upon his death, while Stella would get nothing. He convinces her to put off Stolas' execution until the divorce proceedings were finished and they had a better advantage over him. Begrudgingly agreeing to his point, Stella calls Striker at last moment and tells him to spare Stolas and bring him to her, promising to pay him double in return. Striker agrees, but still attempts to gouge out Stolas' eyes since she only said she needed him back alive, not unharmed, though he is inable to go through with it thanks to the intervention of I.M.P.
Personality[]
Stella is a very wrathful demon who has grown to hate her husband, Stolas, due to his open relationship with Blitzo. However, she has made it very clear numerous times she is not concerned her husband cheated on her but rather is enraged he did so with an imp, which she takes as a personal insult. This brings Stella's second trait to light, namely a deep hatred of imps, who are regarded as the lowest class of demon in Hell, as such she sees them as servants at best.
Violence is Stella's main go-to in regard to solving any problem, but she does not seem to abuse her daughter. She is, however, very distant and does not seem to have a strong maternal side — instead, it is Stolas who seems to care for Octavia's emotional needs. It is unknown how much Stella provides for Octavia in other matters, although Stolas states that the two go out on weekends, confirming that she does spend time with her. She also got angry at Stolas when she believed he was trying to turn Octavia against her.
Stella is also shown to be sadistic, taunting Stolas at every chance she gets, and when Stolas told her to get out of his life, she didn't care about him or what he thought of her, and even telling Stolas that he had fallen from grace and that he will pay for it. Aside from her incredibly short temper, she appears to only treat her husband with mockery and contempt, to the point where she admits that she enjoys tormenting him.
She also shows signs of sociopathic behavior; when angered she will not hesitate to resort to bullying, and when her words fail, she will resort to physical violence, as seen when she tried to strike Stolas after he stood up to her and demanded a divorce. Furthermore, she is very concerned with her public image and thus has others do her evil deeds if said deeds can't be easily hidden, such as her hiring Striker and how during her fight with Stolas she tried to threaten him with her brother, being momentarily surprised when Stolas no longer feared the wrath of her family.
Despite all of Stella's sociopathic characteristic, she seems to have a close relationship with her brother, Andrealphus, as she is implied to be worried of what he'll think of her divorcing Stolas and is seen joking around with him. Worringly enough, Andrealphus is seen flirting with Stella despite them being siblings, implying their relationship is more darker (or at least one-sided on Andrealphus' side).
Stella is also rather single-minded and short-sighted in her efforts to kill Stolas. She was willing to demand Striker to kill him over the phone with both her husband and daughter present at the family’s dinner table, not even being sneaky about it. She also failed to consider that all of Stolas’ rights and possessions would be passed to Octavia should he die, leaving her with nothing. Stella did not seem to care about this much, with Andrealphus having to convince her that it would be best to leave him alive for now as to have time to gain the upper hand. Despite her immense hatred for her husband and vice versa, she was willing to call Striker off from killing him, albeit reluctantly.
Appearance[]
Stella is a tall and slim avian demon who resembles either a swan or a peafoal, with a short pink beak and small, gray face-markings. The markings are located under her eyes, which themselves sported red-pink sclera, white pupils, and lengthy, thick, curved and feathery-like eyelashes protruding from them.
Her feathers are white, which formed into small tufts on the sides of her face, and long gray-tipped hair with a large gray stripe on her head. She also has black-painted, claw-like nails, and dons pink eyeshadow for makeup.
For attire, Stella wears a pimped-out, two-toned white dress with black trimming on the short puffed sleeves, around the waist and on the high frilled-collar. The dress also includes a pink gradient on the upper-section, and feather-trimming located at the hem.
She accessorizes with a small gold crown atop of her head, and a set of black, handless opera gloves.

Trivia[]
- The name "Stella" is the Latin word for "star", fitting the astrology theme signature to Stolas.
- It is unknown if she was the one who gave Striker the gun that granted him the ability to kill demon royalty (however, this is unlikely as Striker ends with showing he has a blessed pistol, hinting that Striker has a large supply of angelic weapons - if she did provide him with such weapons, she is the first confirmed character in the show to have access to Exorcist technology while not being either an angel or a sinner).
- It is strongly hinted that Stella is less concerned with her husband's infidelity than the fact that Blitzo is an imp (a lower class of Hell's caste system) making her motives at least partially stemming from bigotry.
- It's shown in "Seeing Stars" that when she is mad, she tends to make bird sounds.
- Despite being a primary antagonist, Stella has yet to interact with Blitzo and any of his teammates in the series although he did apologize to her in the pilot but that was only a gag and Stella didn’t speak (although in the extension of this scene in S2EP1 she still doesn't talk to Blitzo and instead shouts at Stolas), but she could become more active against them when the series progresses especially since Striker is already an enemy of theirs.
