They look like anthropomorphic animals, and its the players job to help them pass on to the afterlife proper. Our Spirits Are Different: The spirits here are the souls of the dead currently residing in the Spirit World that the game takes place in.In the Hood: Prior to arriving on your ship and taking on their true form, they all just look like the same sort of hooded figure that most of the generic NPCs are.Exceptions include Elena (who leaves behind a cypress branch), Stanley (who leaves behind mushrooms), Bruce (associated with heliotropes, but only Mickey's flower is left behind) and Buck (associated with Rue, but never leaves) 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.


Tasked with the role of Spiritfarer, Stella becomes the ferrymaster to the deceased.
