Character Name: Estellise "Estelle" Sidos Heurassein
Canon: Tales of Vesperia
Canon Point: after arriving in Myorzo
Background/History: Estelle @ the Tales of wiki
Personality: At a first glance, Estelle is very much what she looks like: a princess. Having grown up within the capital's castle all her life, she's a touch sheltered and more than a bit naive. Up until the events of the game, almost all of her knowledge came from books and various tutors she's had. While this gave her a vast amount of knowledge regarding things like mythology, politics, and technology, it didn't do all that much for her street smarts. If you were to ask her about a random, miscellaneous fact, she'd probably be able to answer it without a doubt, but on the other hand she has little actual real-world experience. In that sense, she takes things at face value; things like jokes or sarcasm tend to fly by her, and instead she'll take it seriously. She's not exactly what you would call dense, but she does tend to be rather gullible. Still, she's polite in her words and does her best to learn and understand the new things that surround her.
However, beyond that Estelle is one of the kindest, most compassionate people you could ever meet. No matter who it might be, it troubles her to see someone in pain or suffering, and she will always do her best to help them whether it be by healing their wounds or aiding them in some other way. Others may see it as naivety or stubbornness when Estelle tries to see the best in everyone, but that's just the way she is; she is not a hateful person, even when someone wrongs her. She chooses friendship and companionship over indifference and hostility, even if they might be the most bristly of people or difficult to get along with in general. When Estelle accidentally kills someone, someone who had shown nothing but generosity and understanding towards her, they simply told her with their dying breath to never forget about the deep compassion Estelle has for other people. It's her heart that makes her special, who she is; no title or special powers can define Estelle so easily.
Unfortunately, her compassion is often what leads her to trouble as well. Due to the fact that she wants to help so many people all at once, it often turns out like she's leading everyone else to do a bunch of things at the same time. She frequently has trouble coming to a firm decision by herself, sometimes needing a gentle nudge into calming down and thinking about what she really wants to do. It happens enough times where she even gets called out on it; even if she has the best intentions at heart, in the end she's simply doing whatever she wants without a care towards what the others want do, making them follow her with whatever whim she has. She can be a bit selfish in that she sometimes doesn't take other people's feelings into consideration when she wants to do something i.e. wanting to do too many things at once due to her indecision. As she matures over the course of the game though, Estelle comes to understand what it is that she truly wants to do and comes to her own decisions on her own, without help. She develops critical decision-making skills and is able to make them just fine by the end of the game.
Beyond her nobility and role in saving the world and all that, Estelle is really just your average person as well. Her love for books not only extends to just reading them, but her personal dream is to someday become a writer and write her own stories for others to read. She simply loves stories of any and all kinds. Estelle also seems to have a fondness for animals if her affection for Repede is any indicator; however, despite her efforts to befriend the dog, he always seems to scoff at her attempts of friendship or otherwise ignore them. Though it always leaves her disappointed, she also always resolves at the end to one day befriend Repede and other animals, somehow and some way. At the end of the day, Estelle is really just like a lot of other people with common wants and desires: she wants to know more about the world, and she wants to know more about herself. Most of all, she wants to be able to live in the world she loves with the people she cares for.
Abilities/Powers: Estelle is capable of using artes, otherwise known as magic and physical skills more or less. She's very good at healing artes, and most of her attack-based magic spells have an elemental affinity for light. She's also capable of magic like boosting defense and attack temporarily or even rendering someone invulnerable for a short amount of time. Her physical attack artes are different sets of strikes and combos with her weapon. Back home Estelle is also known as "The Child of the Full Moon"; it will have little relevance in the game, but back home it meant that she could use her powers without needing to use blastia like everyone else does.
Items/Weapons: her sword, shield, and blastia
Sample Entry: Yeaaah.
Sample Entry Two: While Haven was certainly strange, Estelle thought she had been adjusting fairly well. The monsters and whatnot were nothing out of the ordinary for her, and she was used to somewhat uncomfortable living conditions after having spent so long traveling around the world. The scarcity of resources and dangers of searching for them were a bit different, but she could work around it. With her friends around, it didn't seem like it would be terribly difficult. Of course, the drab and dark environment wasn't exactly what she would call pleasant, but at least the weather was always good. It was better than being in the desert again after all. To put things simply, most of the differences between Haven and home weren't so bad. She wouldn't prefer to be here in the least, but she could adjust. Well, except for one thing.
There were no books.
It was unsettling, to say the least. There wasn't a single book here! While she was more than grateful for the information she received from other people she talked to about Haven, there was nothing like reading material from the people who lived here themselves. Haven looked like it was a city, and there was even a giant sign welcoming them, so it wasn't like they were a civilization without writing. How could there be no books at all? Even more distressing was that when she attempted to write something herself, the text would disappear in just a short time. For an avid reader like Estelle, it was absolutely disheartening.
Still, she refused to let this get the best of her. So she still didn't know what exactly it meant to be the "Child of the Full Moon". Well, alright, it couldn't be helped. As much as she wanted to know, it would have to wait until she returned home. It seemed like she had another mystery at hand anyways--or even a lot of them actually. How she came to be here, the story behind this mysterious city, what she was meant to do here... If she thought about it, it was almost like being in a mystery novel of her own. Without any knowledge except what fellow kidnapped residents knew, the mystery only deepened. Until she could go home, Estelle would do what she could.
There were things she could do here, and she would most certainly do them.
