On December 1, 2021, Stella moved to Los Santos by herself after realizing she was ready to start fresh. With no friends and family, she spent her first few days going around the city to meet as many new friends as possible. On her first night, she was treated to a dinner at Pearl's by a new friend, Achmed, and witnessed another new friend, Keith, enjoy two lobster tails for the first time only to learn that the shells are not to be consumed. This was how Stella was introduced to Mount Zonah Medical Center.
On Stella's third night in the city, she met Desmond Sykes and Charlotte Sykes who took her to go carskating on the frozen Alamo Sea. Stella quickly fell in love with adventuring out to the frozen Alamo Sea and was ready to enjoy all the outdoor adventures her new home has to offer. Stella was introduced to Jeb Manbroni, the owner of Cockatoos Nightclub, and was hired to work as a bartender. She was ready to make new friends at her first job in the city.
Besides carskating, Stella enjoyed a fair share of slipping on ice throughout the city.
Stella's innocence and trust in making new friends is unstoppable. On December 6, 2021, Stella was taken hostage for a jewelry store robbery and her friends later identified the criminals as the Animals. Excited at the potential to make new friends, Stella was full of questions and wanted to make conversations with the hostage-takers and the friendly police on the scene. That same night, Stella was kidnapped by
Chamberlain Gangster Families "CGF" outside of Hardcore Comic Store after wanting to chat with them out of curiosity after being told by others to stay inside the store while Antonio Benitez had a chat with them. During the car chase with four police units, Stella offered the gang members food and even offered the police food. The police almost managed to help Stella get out of the situation safely before continuing the car chase through the city. Stella was able to talk on the phone with Antonio and hinted at "rat pizza," a topic in their earlier discussion outside of Hardcore Comic, to give him hints of her location in the active car chase. Inside the tunnels, a shootout took place between CGF and the police. Stella was shot in the crossfire while remaining in the car and had to be taken to the hospital for treatment. After being released from the hospital, Stella spoke with two cops outside of Hardcore Comic and was informed of the gang members' names. Despite all this on one wild night, Stella was not deterred from continuing to be friendly to all those she come across and offering each and every person food and drinks.
Jennifer Welsh, formerly Jennifer Sallison, quickly became Stella's friend. She witnessed Stella receiving her first car as a gift from Teddy at Mosley's. She was Stella's first friend in the city and Stella secretly wanted to admit that Jennifer was already her best friend. Jennifer would call her up to say hello and spend some time together. Stella quickly grew to love and care for her and cherished every moment she got to spend with her busy cop friend.
Besides being Stella's first best friend in the city, Jennifer was the one who informed
Hudson Welsh of her interest in acquiring a job at
Shadowcade. On December 7, 2021, after a quick interview with Welsh, Stella was offered and accepted the position at
Shadowcade as a bartender. Welsh showed Stella how to clock in and gave her a tour of the establishment. Before clocking off, Stella received a phone call from a customer claiming to be interested in purchasing a Muffy plushie. Welsh went to unlock the door for the customer and Stella quickly followed behind, hearing "we want to talk to Stella" through the door. Rushing outside, Stella immediately realised what was happening when she was surrounded by three men in green. She was forced into their vehicle and the CGF drove off with Stella to a secluded beach area for questioning. As revenge for being locked up for 700 months, Stella was forced to reveal Antonio and Tobi's names to the CGF members in order to keep herself safe. She also gave them Antonio's phone number. Stella was brought back to Shadowcade with no injuries but felt guilt and fear for her friends at Hardcore. Only after being yelled at, in Stella's perspective, by Virgil Bogard and Abigayle Moore and the CGF hurting Carson and Delilah did Stella start to realize the development of her fear of the CGF and their lack of compassion.
While the start of her time in Los Santos may have been rough, Stella's love for friends allowed her to meet many new friends through Hardcore Comic and her jobs. Many of her friends have her back and love her very much. Stella is grateful to be surrounded by many loved ones in the place she calls home today.
Relationships
Liz Barber-Day - Stella's wife. In April 2023, Stella and Liz Barber met at a party on Cayo Perico. They exchanged numbers and Liz was later hired on at
Stella Melon. The two hung out on and off the clock. On 13 June, 2023, Stella and Liz officially started dating. On 21 July, 2023, Liz proposed to Stella with a bracelet she had previously given to Stella for their anniversary.

On 13 December, 2023, their 6th month anniversary, Liz gave Stella a Morganite engagement ring that she had been holding on for months. On 17 December, 2023, Stella proposed to Liz at the lake on Mt. Gordo, with a song Stella commissioned from Tomiko, Liz's favorite artist, and a bracelet. On 22 February, 2024, Stella proposed to Liz on the beach behind their house with a melon floatie as a surprise. On 11 March, 2024, Stella proposed to Liz for the third time with a dinosaur engagement ring that she got custom-made at Remington's. On 13 June, 2024, Stella and Liz got married at their special pond, witnessed by many friends and family. Liz Barber became Liz Barber-Day.
Onyx Angel - Stella's ex-wife. On a night when Stella was hammered with alcohol, caffeine, and sugar, she was brought to the drift tracks by
Eavan Cree Carter "Evie" to hang out with friends. With much difficulty staying still and silent, Stella ran around the track and eventually climbed into
Onyx Angel's car. Onyx texted Stella that she talked enough for the both of them. She listened to Stella's rambling as she drove around the track multiple times. The two of them saw each other occasionally around the city with mutual friends. They started talking and soon hung out frequently. On February 4, 2022, Onyx gave Stella the Valentine's Special and a pink bouquet of flowers. She confessed to liking Stella and Stella definitely made a mental note of that. On February 12, 2022, Onyx surprised Stella with a picnic date on the Del Perro Beach and asked her to be her official girlfriend. Of course, Stella said yes! On March 5, 2022, Onyx brought Stella to the El Gordo Lighthouse for what she assumed to be a date.
Sally Nailburry soon showed up and Onyx proposed to Stella with a beautiful ring from
Remington Fine Gifts + Jewelry. After much planning and organizing, Stella and Onyx parachuted into their wedding at the top of Mount Chiliad and got married on the 24th of March, 2022, witnessed by many friends and family and officiated by the one and only
Hudson Welsh. On July 5th, 2022, Stella and Onyx agreed to go on a break from the relationship. It appeared to be too much for Onyx that she got up and left in the middle of the night with a note saying she was moving to Toronto. On July 10th, 2022, Stella officially filed for divorce with the help of Lawyer Katyarina LaBeaux. The divorce was approved by Knox Turner on July 18th, 2022.

Emily Honts - Stella's ex-girlfriend. Stella was working at ShadowCade one night when Emily Honts walked up to look at the plushies. She told Stella that she had just lost a good sum of money at the casino and could not afford one. Stella proposed that if Emily could go a day without gambling, she would gift her a Muffy plushie. Hours later, the two ran into each other at
Premium Deluxe Motorsport "PDM" and Stella asked Emily about her gambling addiction. Upon a satisfying answer, Emily received a plushie as promised. The two started flirting outside of PDM surrounded by a couple of Emily's friends. They later took the conversation into private messages and fondness for each other grew. They spent plenty of time together adventuring throughout San Andreas on unofficial dates. They eventually made it official on December 26, 2021, when Emily took Stella to the romantic apartment complex across the street from Mosley's in the Southside and popped the question. Unfortunately, as time goes on, Emily and Stella mutually ended their relationship due to differences on February 2, 2022.
Notable Friendships
Eaven Cree Carter - At the beginning of their friendship, Evie looked after Stella as much as possible to make sure she didn't get injured. With the many hostage situations and injuries in the wilderness, Evie sneakily set up a location tracker on Stella's phone. After Stella found out, Evie gave Stella more freedom with the trust and belief that she could take care of herself despite being known for getting caught up in hostage situations and frequenting the hospital.

Kyedae Bae - One of the most notable moments for the beginning of the two's friendship was when Stella Day gave Kyedae roughly $45,000 for her car upgrades and customization. Kye and Stella were a good pair of friends for the longest time, both enjoying to UWU. Eventually, Mina Teller adopted both Kye and Stella and the two became sisters.
Erin Murphy -
Erin Murphy and Stella Day met for the first time outside of Hardcore Comic Store when Stella was being interviewed by Mikey for a segment on her marathon around the state. Erin was behind the camera watching Stella respond to questions, but she really got to know Stella after numerous adventures together. The two bond over time in the wilderness and exploring the state. They can often be found breaking out puns and annoying those around them.
Skylar Adams - Their friendship started when Stella said the reindeers on Skylar's sweater were giving each other piggyback rides.
Veronica Corvus - Stella Day and Veronica Corvus met at
Public Works Headquarters. According to Veronica, Stella was the first person to speak to her since she got into the city a couple days prior. The two of them quickly grew a connection. Veronica took Stella under her wings for ride-alongs and would call her "Little Bird" over the radio. Veronica was there for Stella before and after getting into the preliminary stage of becoming a PW hire. Since Stella got hired, Veronica has started to call Stella "Little Bee" over the radio. Heck, Veronica even bought Stella a car that she wanted!
Stella and Veronica both randomly ended up watching the fireworks from the same spot.
Niko McReary - Stella Day was introduced to Niko McReary by Evie Carter as the other law-abiding driver in the state. The two of them can be found stocked up with food and drinks to feed any and many hungry mouths.
Carmen Mason-Medlin - The two met in 2022 (probably) at Hardcore Comic Store. At the time, they would see each other in passing and, for the most part, were mutual friends. Stella had known Carmen as a raccoon, otter, puppy, and human. Stella was one of the first people to learn the DaVeggie Code from Carmen. The new language helped the two grow closer and it was at some point in late 2022 that the two became best friends. With a strong commitment to their friendship, they invited very close friends and family to their friendship wedding. On January 29, 2023, the emojis on the guest list showed up as humans to gather in the name of the Trash God to celebrate the most special of all relationships - friendship. Officiated by
Erin Murphy, Stella and Carmen shared their vows to be friends forever in a bubbly pool.

Zalena [insert updated last name] -
The two best friends first met when Zalena applied to work at Stella Melon. According to Zalena, the two best friends first met through a near-car explosion when Stella was working Public Works. In January of 2023, Zalena applied to work at Stella Melon. Not thinking much of it, Zalena was just another one of Stella's employees, but this one actually worked regularly. Stella ran into Zalena many times, but consistently forgot who she is. Zalena started to call Stella "boss lady" to help ring a bell. The two didn't start to become close until the San Andreas Comic Convention when Zalena spent all day working the Stella Melon booth. Stella said "I love you" to Zalena who then told Stella she doesn't hear it or say it often with anyone else, but she will say it back to Stella. Zalena made sure that Stella knew she could talk to her without judgment. They slowly started to hang out when Stella would show up at the KOKORO Plaza. Stella trusted Zalena enough that she went to Zalena for comfort after Stella felt violated and Zalena picked her up like a baby as a sign of love.
In the early hours of February 13th, 2023, Zalena accidentally admitted that the two were best friends, a term she does not use lightly or ever. Despite days of planning and waiting, there was not a better time than then to gift Zalena her dream car, a Lampadati Cinquemila. The two went down to Veenstra Motors for a test drive and Zalena immediately fell in love with the car. Stella surprised her with the car and Zalena cried of happiness while it rained. To this day, Zalena continues to tease Stella about forgetting who she is, but the love and friendship between the two of them are strong.
Madeline Vierra - It took Stella two months to tell Madeline "Madi" and Harlow Greene apart. Understandably, Madi and Harlow are teal-hair best friends. The first time Stella credited Madi's photo in the Scoops, Stella spelled Madi's name wrong. She still could not tell the best friends apart at that point. Finally, in March 2023, Stella began to tell the best friends apart by remembering that Harlow wears glasses, giving a visual reminder of O-O, which can be seen as lowercase "a" and o" in "Harlow." This strategy has helped Stella a lot, but it doesn't mean that she does not make mistakes sometimes.
Candy Lane - Stella has probably met Candy as many times as she has been to the hospital. It was only in February of 2023 when Stella started to remember and recognise Candy. Occasionally, Stella will Candy to wear her hair in a certain style or wear a specific pair of glasses to help her remember Candy. Candy, being an amazing best friend, is always willing to help Stella and look after her.

Public Works - On 3 July, 2022, Alvis Pulley surprised Stella Day by calling her up to the special chair for a sorting hat ceremony during a Public Works meeting to bring her onboard as a preliminary ride along. She has been sorted into the Crimson House. A little less than 24 hours later, Stella Day was taken to a bee emergency by Alvis Pulley to save Bevans from an extreme bee allergy reaction. As a reward, the Crimson House was given a point. Soon after, Alvis announced the promotion of Stella Day to a probationary Public Works employee.
