Stella Heizerberg

A country girl who could neither read nor write. While Strauss was still a general, she was his human lover. She was adopted by the Heizerberg family. Stella and her unborn child (Strauss was the child’s father) were later brutally murdered; their deaths forever plunged Strauss into a depth of despair. In chapter 38, it is revealed that she, together with Strauss' would-be child, is the Black Swan itself.
