#blitzo is a case of never letting one's background define them

The Ars Goetia are filled with powerful magic wielders who uphold important Goetian jobs to keep the nature cycles and magic fabric of Hell in order
Stella seems to often rely on manipulation tactics, brute force and hiring assassins to help her carry out her deeds
What if Stella is actually a squib amongst the Royals, meaning that she isn't as magically powerful as most royals?
What if that's another reason why she hates Stolas and Octavia so much because of Envy, but cannot lash out her residual resentment and jealousy to her brother and parents ( who all have powerful magic )?
Royal women in general are raised to uptake certain royal duties aside from bearing heirs. However, it seems that Stella is only raised to bear royal heirs, and that's it
If that is true, her upbringing may literally strip her of any more autonomy that a royal lady can have - like actually exercising her social power and all that
If Stella is actually a ' squib ' amongst the Royals, that may actually be another reason why she is often treated with pity ( and fear ) even before the divorce - a royal without sufficient powerful magic, to many royals, is a tragic thing indeed
Maybe in once every blue moon in Hell, there will be a squib amongst Hell Royalty, and NONE of the powerful magical parents wanted their child to be born that way
In magical societies, being a ' squib ' ( someone born out of magical parents but somehow has limited or NO magic ) is often seen as a ' handicap ', and is often treated as one
But in Hellaverse Heaven and Hell, non royals and non Overlords in general aren't really expected to have magic per se - only Royals and Overlords are more likely to have magic. So even the magical sinners often have more limited magic than a magic Overlord UNLESS that sinner is in some way related to said Overlord
And how does the ' squib ' concept is done around this universe, one may ask?
Well, similarly with in Harry Potter, magical squibs in Hellaverse Heaven and Hell may sadly often be treated by even their magical peers with scorn and/or pity. Stella's sole saving grace in that predicament ( if her being a ' squib ' is canon ) is that she's born from a high ranking Ducal family who has been long term allies of the Goetias
So that also plays into how Stella doesn't give a jack shit of the Goetian traditions, often relying her parents and/or brother in magical exploits, wanted to stay married to Stolas for his powers, money and status despite abusing him and neglecting Octavia behind closed doors for 17 years ( I bet the neglect also hurt Octavia deeply especially once she began to put two and two together ), is only seems to be interested in partying and drinking, and the one of the only reasons why she was tolerated by many royals for so long is because she was once married to a Goetia ( through her parents' bribing skulduggery ). Once Stolas divorces Stella, Stella came to stop at nothing to completely destroy Stolas and her ex in laws, and HER DAUGHTER, from inside out
If Stella is a ' magical disabled ', then it can parallel to Blitzo's dyslexia. Blitzo had it worse than most people - his bio parents had a messy divorce when he was a pre teen, alienated from his mom and abused by his dad, only had limited contact with his mom but she DIED saving Blitzo and Barbie from the fire when she came to get them herself once and for all ( after painstakingly pulling strings of Imp City domestic lawyers - yeah, Cash bribed some of them before for YEARS ), he killed Cash out of pure resentment, his sister was estranged from him for 15 years because she believed he killed their mom ( it's not true ), and he spent 15 years having to rebuild everything from scratch....and STILL Blitzo works his best to remain hope and NEVER let his dyslexia or anything else define him
So that becomes a case to not let yourself be defined by your sufferings and/or disabilities. Blitzo chose not to do so, but Stella let that fuel her residual resentment, and their outcomes turn out very differently
