Stella (Hey Arnold!)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stella Shortman is a fictional character in the cartoon series Hey Arnold!
Stella was a botanist/doctor who happened to be in San Lorenzo (as part of an archeology expedition, apparently) when Miles literally fell into her life. See the entry for Arnold's father for information on what happened next.
Stella's father is named Arnold - it's not exactly a coincidence, as that's who she named Arnold after.
Stella passed on her football-headedness to Arnold, who also got Miles' blonde hair.
Craig Bartlett revealed in November 2006 that Arnold's surname was Shortman, thus making his parents, Stella and Miles Shortman. He also said that Stella was named for the Grateful Dead song "Stella Blue."
