Background: From childhood, Stella has always been enchanted with the night's sky. After completing her astronomy degree at Columbia she took a job at the Hayden Planetarium so that she could share her love of the stars with the next generation of bright minds. Her quick wits and winsome enthusiasm quickly got her noticed, and after a few years she found herself director of the whole planetarium.
Everything was wonderful until the rifts opened. When they did, wonderment at the cosmos gave way to the mysticism of the rifts in the imagination of Manhattan's youth. Hayden Planetarium became a ghost-town literally overnight. Years later, despite Stella's best efforts, the planetarium's finances are on its legs. Now Stella needs an investor. Or a miracle.
Weapon:
Stella fires beams of stellar light from her focusing lens. The weapon fires in rapid bursts of five hitscan shots, but cannot deal critical damage. Inspired by Ying's weapon from Paladins. Maximum range of 50m with short range damage fall off.
Abilities:
1) Solar Flare | 18 s. Cooldown | 50m Range | 4m Radius | 6 s. Duration
Stella fires an orb that moves quickly towards a target point, dealing damage to nearby enemies. When the the orb arrives at its target point it redirects towards Stella's position, following her for the remainder of its duration. When the orb expires it explodes, displacing and damaging nearby enemies.

Imagined flow:
Throw your flare at the enemies, when it rebounds to you zip through them bringing it back over them and stacking stacks, manage your zip charges so you can eventually zip out and make them step into the light of your ultimate.
Zip through enemies and back playstyle inspired by Storm Spirit from Dota, ultimate shamelessly borrowed from Jenos in Paladins.
