Description

• She wore perfume, cosmetics, and wigs: golden hair, so shiny and pretty, long and curly; or bright red hair.
• She had white hands with painted red nails and her brown eyes, painted gold on the lids, were full of hate.

Personality

• In Eve’s dream/memory, when Stella caught Eve playing with her cosmetics, wigs, and shoes, Stella slapped her and called her a stupid little bitch.

History

• Stella said she never wanted Eve in the first place; she said having Eve was Rich’s idea.
  • In Reunion in Death, Eve said, “He never called me by name. Because I didn’t have one. I remember that now. They didn’t bother to give me a name because I wasn’t a child to them. I was a thing.”
• Stella says men paid for her for sex when she was 12 (c.2017, last days of Urban Wars) and she did Good Samaritan Gambit (faking a seizure and lifting wallets) when she was a kid.

Criminal Activity

• A junkie-whore who whored for money and drugs. That was okay with Richard but, what wasn’t okay with him, was that she wanted to ditch Eve and be rid of her. He said he had an investment in Eve.
  • Richard Troy was going to whore Eve out. Nothing like young pussy, he said, so Eve better learn to take it without the whining and crying. He had an investment in her, and she was going to pay off. They were going to start in Dallas, because Eve was eight and that was old enough to start carrying her weight.
• Three or four-year-old Eve knew her mother took “medicine” (drugs) every day; sometimes more than once a day. Sometimes it made Stella sleepy, sometimes it made her want to dance and dance.
  • Stella was nicer when she wanted to dance - even though her laughing was scary, it was better than the yelling or the slapping.
• Stella and Rich tried to be careful of the soundproofing as they wanted to avoid any social workers.
• As Sarajo Whitehead, she worked at a bar, the Circle D, and faked being raped so she could meet Bree and Melinda Jones.
• As Sarajo Whitehead, she and McQueen abducted Melinda Jones in Dallas.
• As Sandra Millford, she and McQueen abducted 13-year-old Darlie Morgansten at a Dallas mall.

Homicide Information

• Killed Officer Malvie when he was guarding her at Dallas City Hospital - slashed his throat with a laser scalpel.
• Killed by Isaac McQueen - slashed her throat after loading her with drugs.

Interesting Facts

• Eve had little memory of her mother though she knows that, by the time Eve was eight, Stella was gone.
• Eve wasn’t allowed in the room where Rick and Stella slept; where Stella brought other men (for sex).
• Richard Troy called her “Stel”; she called Richard “Rich.”
• Stella hated Eve with a gut-deep hate; she hated the fact of Eve [existing]. Eve said that if Stella had been there when her father raped her, she didn’t think Stella would have cared one way or the other.
• Stella was a junkie and a whore and Eve’s father ran the show.
