With people eagerly awaiting the new season of Netflix's "Orange is the New Black", an interesting addition to the list of characters has been announced and she is a stunning Australian model and television presenter.

Ruby Rose is set to play the role of inmate Stella who is described by The Sydney Morning Herald as someone with "a sarcastic sense of humor and captivating looks quickly draw the attention of some of Litchfield's inmates."

It has also been reported that her character will be the romantic interest for the lead couple of the show: Piper Chapman, played by Taylor Schilling, and Alex Vause, played by Laura Prepon.

The Wilhelmina Models talent, according to The Sydney Morning Herald, announced her role in an interview with the American edition of Elle magazine, and she also posted on her Instagram account, a screenshot of the magazine with the hashtag #stellaishere.

Aside from modeling in the U.S., Rose is also a famous television presenter and an MTV VJ in Australia.

Going a little more personal into her life, The Guardian reported that the Australian model grew up in Melbourne in the care of a single mother. She has been openly gay, even during her childhood years. According to the outlet, she has a "lifelong oscillation between male and female gender identities, which she labels as 'reincarnations'".

The same report said that Rose started binding her chest when she was just six years old because she wanted to become a boy.

"I think at this stage I will stay a woman but ... who knows. I'm so comfortable right now I feel wonderful about it, but I also fluctuate a lot," she was quoted by The Guardian as saying. In fact she starred in a short film titled "Break Free" in July 2014, highlighting gender fluidity. Watch the film below.

Meanwhile, a Netflix spokesperson, according to the Sydney Morning Herald, also confirmed Ruby's role in the edgy drama series and said that her full character name is Stella Carlin.

Gaining too much popularity in the United States, the web series, released only on Netflix, is created by American screenwriter Jenji Kohan and is set in a women's prison called Litchfield Federal Correctional Institution.

The series did not only become popular because of the gender sensitivity it showed on its episodes but also because of the real-life struggles of prisoners depicted in every episode of the show.

The third series of this drama is expected to air this year.
