Stella Nox Fleuret is a character in Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Little is currently known about Stella, except that she meets Noctis at an art function, and they share some sort of connection. Although the two do not wish to fight each other, they are forced to do battle as a result of unknown circumstances.

Stella is a princess of the Fleuret family and resides from the land of Tenebrae. According to director Tetsuya Nomura, she is apparently extremely wealthy. Stella is shown to have an honest and very polite attitude, but she is assertive and true to her beliefs as a result of her proper upbringing. As demonstrated in the Tokyo Game Show footage, she does not like to shy away from her problems and is very direct, as opposed to Noctis who is shown to be more reserved. According to Nomura, Stella will "stand out" in some way from the other female characters in the series.
In battle, Stella wields a rapier and upon brandishing it, a large, winged crest forms behind her, similar to how Noctis summons his weapons. It is speculated that she can also summon different types of weapons, similar to Noctis.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)
The story is said to be much like Romeo and Juliet in that two people both members of opposing families fall in love. Noctis appears very shy around Stella but is not an "emo boy", as Tetsuya Nomura put it. He is also friends with a group of people showing classic Final Fantasy traits; a man with a gun, a man who will attack with his fists and an intellectual looking man.

edit New Information
Stella Nox are two Latin words that would mean, albeit incorrectly inflected, "Night Star". Fleuret is the French name of the fencing foil, an obvious reference to Stella's shown weapon of choice. Final Fantasy Versus XIII has no solid release date, but development is well underway and gameplay has been shown briefly in scans which are sadly not of the best quality. The battle system is being designed by the Kingdom Hearts / Advent Children team, so it is fair to expect something a long the lines of the style of fighting seen in their previous projects. The city shown in the trailers so far has been modelled after real life areas in Japan and will contain elements of today’s world including issues like Global Warming. The story itself is heavily inspired by the works Shakespeare as quoted in multiple trailers: "Nothing is either good or bad but thinking makes it so" is a famous line from Shakespeare's Hamlet. This line is basically the notion that good and bad is a perspective of an individual. It is likely the game will deal with this outlook on things.
