When other little girls were playing house and dress-up, Stella Rogers was playing Cops and Robbers and Cowboys and Indians with the other neighborhood boys, or reading fantasy and science fiction stories. She wore trousers unless it was time for church, and generally didn't do anything little girls of the 1920s were expected to do, or how to behave.
She also had a stubborn streak a mile wide, and refused to back down when any boys tried to exclude her from a group - generally leading to name-calling, and on one particular occasion, shoving. Before it could escalate into a fight, though, another boy stepped in. Angry at being "rescued," Stella turned her anger toward the newcomer, shouting that she didn't need his help. Unfortunately, the exertion of the fight combined with the yelling set off a mild asthma attack, through which the boy helped her settle down, before introducing himself as Bucky Barnes.

STATS:
Hair color: blonde
Eye color: blue
Height: 6'
Weight: 132 lbs
Miscellany:
1. Due to a childhood of chronic asthma, chest colds and bronchitis, Stella's voice is deeper than one would expect, especially for a woman of her age, who's never smoked. With little effort she can drop her voice to that of a man's timbre, and it's in fact harder for her to sound feminine than it is to sound masculine.
2. The Captain America uniform is shaped and padded in such a way as to allow ease of movement, but to hide the more obviously feminine curves of Stella's body. Likewise, the cowl disguises her jawline somewhat. Because of this, she's seen most often during the war in her Captain America uniform, and never in regular military dress.
3. Stella French braids her hair to fit beneath her uniform cowl. She only learned how to do this after she wakes in the future; during the war, after her transformation, she cut her hair into a pixie cut so it didn't get in her way, and also was less likely to give away her gender, should she be seen unmasked.
