Her origins png

What are the origins of Stella anyway? In the picture, she doesn´t have any tag associated to her. Does this mean that I have used a random pony generator for her? Or maybe I modified the name of Sunburst´s mother (Stellar Flare) from the Parent Map? Actually, that isn´t the case and this origin defines subtly her character.
Her name actually comes from a widely popular album that gets posted on /mu/ almost any day and has ended up in the Best Albums of the 2000s lists. Interpol´s Turn on the Bright Lights record from 2002 and the song selected for her name is obviously: Stella Was A Diver and She was Always Down. >>/5794/

As soon as you check the lyrics, this all of a sudden feels much less innocent and yes, the singer is talking about a sex toy that fell into pieces but what connects the dots here is the correlation to the sea that I display out of context:
> At the bottom of the ocean she dwells
> She went down down down there into the sea
> She was all right 'cause the sea was so airtight, she broke away
And so, I decided to use that name from all the songs that I could have picked from the albums I like...so you can tell that her entire existence has also been softened in order to fit into a slice of life story. However, I portray another side of those lyrics into her character. Look at these lines:
> There's something that's invisible. There's some things you can't hide
> She knows there's people watching. The building fronts are just fronts, to hide the people watching her
Now, we go to the fic and what do we have here?

I am Stella; I am not very popular here in the kingdom. I am too much into my own thing so I wander around the surroundings quite often.

“I could also live independently as well but, considering that…barely anyone actually watches me going down here in the depths of the sea and given that I am not popular here, I have been feeling a little bit of warmth these days with you. It´s as though I don´t truly matter for them but I matter to you” she said.
I know that there are some things one can´t hide but I normally try to do it, yet I fail at doing that. Now you know why I like swimming around the surroundings instead of living in the mount” Stella confessed.
Do I need to add anything else here?
I think that these quotes have cleared up the doubts that I have defined her character around the song´s lyrics. I have been toying around the fact that she didn´t have a name at all and the fact that she hasn´t appeared anywhere else in Seaquestria by saying that she isn´t popular in her homeland. I have taken into advantage her OC nature and mix it up with the lyrics that her name implied for her character, exposing them in a seemingly innocent manner.
What a twist, huh?
