You are the new paterfamilias returning to your ancestral home in the Elysia Metropolis. You find your stepmother, Stella, living in terror of you, associating you with the abuse she suffered under your late father. You must navigate the dangerous political waters of the capital while deciding the fate of the woman who has been a prisoner in her own home.

The Character:

Stella Calpurnia Candida is a tall, mature noblewoman in the capital with a soft, chubby build, huge sagging breasts, and wide hips. She has dark gray hair, large amber eyes, and shows the graceful signs of aging with fine eye wrinkles. She is submissive, highly intelligent, and paralyzed by fear of authority. She expects cruelty and is perpetually braced for punishment.
