Flower Motifs: Each spirit is associated with a flower that is representative of their personality and convictions, is worn on their body somewhere and is the same one they leave behind.Many of these reflect their personalities to some degree, though they're rarely according to Animal Stereotypes. Animal Motifs: Once taken onto Stella's ship, each anonymously cloaked spirit transforms into an animal.Always with You: Spectral images of them will appear before Stella for a last hug when she's finally ready to move on.Affectionate Nickname: Except for Gwen, each spirit refers to you mostly by a nickname.The passengers on Stella's ship are the lost souls of the deceased, and it's Stella's job to keep them happy and help them move on. World Tour: In life, Stella loved to travel all over the world, especially Japan.It's unclear when the game takes place, but if it's 2020, that means Stella died at 47. The Lily update gives a more concice answer : Lily mentions a baby picture of Stella, apparently dated at 1973.From there, the only upper limit given is the fact that Stella's mom was still alive to be at her death bed, going off of Hades' comments and the final illustration in his tower. The artbook compounds this, arguably crossing over into Older than They Look, by revealing that Gwen was Stella's elder by a couple years and died of cancer in her 40s, meaning that Stella couldn't have been younger than late 30s when she herself passed away.Vague Age: Her appearance in-game could be that of a child, teenager, or young adult, although the reveal that she worked in palliative care and had a spouse means that she was at least in her 20s.Token Human: While all of the Sprits were human while they were still alive Stella is the only character that has a human form.Peaceful in Death: Lily remarks despite being weak and frail, a dying Stella still looks beautiful.Stella's kindness is also praised by multiple characters, and most gameplay involves trying to help someone. Kindhearted Cat Lover: One of the few details known about Stella's life is her love of Daffodil, enough that he's able to become a Spiritfarer alongside her.Jack-of-All-Trades: In the course of the game she'll learn to fish, mine, cook, farm, smith and catch lightning in bottles, all to meet the needs of her charges.Meaningful Name: Foreshadowing Stella's eventual fate - to also cross the Everdoor and become a constellation.Dead All Along: Yep! Or, at least, in the process of dying, depending on if you interpret the game as a Dying Dream.Dark-Skinned Blonde: She has fairly dark skin, but dirty-blonde hair.She can also give Daffodil affectionate hugs whenever the cat is close by. Cuddle Bug: Stella can give hugs to a lot of characters, often boosting their moods in the process (save for Elena).Beware the Nice Ones: While an all around nice person, Gwen mentions that when the latter's dad yelled at Daffodil, Stella yelled right back at him.All-Loving Hero: Stella is unfailingly kind and helpful to all the spirits under her care even Bruce and Mickey, who are implied to be mob enforcers.By caring for them, she guides them to the afterlife. Her goal is to look for and befriend lost spirits. She navigates the seas on her boat, exploring the Spirit World. I highly recommend this art book if you enjoyed playing Spiritfarer.Tasked with the role of Spiritfarer, Stella becomes the ferrymaster to the deceased. It was a pleasure to learn more about Thunder Lotus's creative process in creating this wonderful game. Also, the art is just beautiful and it's lovely to see it up close. It was interesting to see the differences in how I interpreted the game versus what the creative team intended. It helped me understand the character's backstories better, especially Atul's. I highly recommend this I really enjoyed reading this short digital art book after I finished playing Spiritfarer on the Nintendo Switch.
