Stella Stenstrom

Stella Stenstrom is a demon appearing in the short story, Patty's Awakening in the compiled book, The Warren Witches. She was somehow aware that Patty Halliwell was the mother of The Charmed Ones and attempted to coat her into giving up her powers, so that she would be able to steal them.

Stella was mentioned to be tall, hairy, and walked on two legs that looked more like wolf's haunches in her demonic form. Her eyes glittered in moonlight.

History
Stella appeared as Hugh Stenstrom's stepmother when Patty was dating him. She posed a docile and lovely character to everyone, but was really an evil trickster. While she and Patty bonded, Stella hinted for her to relinquish her powers, intending to take her future daughters away when they are born and take their powers for herself.

She also sent Patty a partly-true vision of her future to deepen her decision in giving up her magic. When Patty later discovered the truth, she and Penny lured Stella to a lake where she confronted her, then banished her with a spell. Penny then threw Stella's car into a lake to make her family believe she had drowned.

A funeral service was held for her, and Patty realized Hugh's affection was actually a magical manipulation.
