Maris Stella
CharacterMaris Stella is a long-haired house cat belonging to CCG investigator Akira Mado. A small but memorable presence in Tokyo Ghoul:re, she lounges through Akira's apartment and, in the anime, meets arriving guests at the door with a decidedly unimpressed attitude.
Appearance
Maris Stella is a cat with a thick, long gray coat that deepens to a darker shade across her ears and along her tail. Her eyes are a vivid yellow, and her face tends to settle into a sour, disgruntled look. The bushy tail carries over between the manga and the animated version, keeping her fluffy silhouette consistent across both adaptations.
Personality
Not much of the cat's temperament has been confirmed. She clearly saves her affection for Akira Mado, warming to her owner while treating outsiders with plain hostility. That contrast defines what little is shown of her, a companion loyal to a single person and prickly toward everyone else.
History
Maris Stella lives in Akira Mado's apartment and belongs to the Mado family, having once resided in the 20th Ward. In the anime she greets Koutarou Amon at the entrance when he calls on Akira's home. Her name translates to Star of the Sea, a title that usually points either to the North Star, Polaris, or to the Virgin Mary. She also appears in the Tokyo Ghoul Trump merchandise as the Five of Diamonds.
