Stella Nox Fleuret (ステラ・ノックス・フルーレ, Sutera Nokkusu Furūre?),[12][13] shown to be a young woman with blonde hair, is said to be the princess of the Fleuret family of the country Tenebrae (which is Latin for "darkness"),[11][17] and an enemy to Noctis, though her allegiances are under suspicion.[citation needed] Stella Nox are two Latin words that would mean literally, albeit incorrectly inflected, "Night Star." Fleuret is the French name of the fencing foil, a direct reference to Stella's weapon of choice, a rapier. Like Noctis, she is able to materialize weapons from thin air, as she is shown summoning her rapier from a rune similar to one used by Noctis to summon his sword, though Stella's rune is golden while Noctis' is blue. What role this will play in the game is unknown.
Like that of Noctis, a good measure of her personality can be sensed in her first meeting with Noctis.[17] For instance, in their discussion about the power they share (defined as a special ability to see the "light") and its connection to an old legend,[11] Stella is very open about the matter while Noctis seems reluctant to talk about it, suggesting that they keep it a secret.[17] Stella is described to be ladylike and extremely polite,[18] but direct in her manner — a reflection of her proper but strong upbringing.[11][17] She acts according to her beliefs, and doesn't shy away from problems.[11][18] Nomura states that she will be the first to stand out from other female characters in the Final Fantasy franchise,[18] although it is not specified how.
