Other Characters Played:N/a Series: Tales of Vesperia Character: Estellise Sodis Heurassein Timeline: About Mid-point, before Estelle finds Yuri in Zaphias and meets up with everyone again.
Personality: Raised in a fancy schmancy castle her entire life, Estelle is a bit ... naive, shall we say, in regards to the world outside the protective walls of her home. As a result of this protected, sheltered state, she tends to believe what people tell her, without considering that they may be deceiving her. She has enough common sense to not believe something that's -too- ridiculous, but she does still fall for the occasional lie, like superstitions.
Everything she's learned about her world, she learned it from the books in the library, and from what her knight friend, Flynn, told her about his travels. To that effect, she is quite smart when it comes to things in books, and her memory is impressive enough that she is able to recite passages from books she's read by heart. This is undoubtedly because whenever you get Estelle into a library, or near a book, she will immediately read it. She's fascinated with learning about other cultures and reading fairy tales as well, and once she begins reading, it's hard to get her attention again, as she will completely lose herself in the world of the printed word.
She has an insatiable curiosity, and a creative spirit - because she's been influenced by so many books, both myths and real life stories, she has a talent for weaving stories of her own. Of course, her preference is in creating fairy tale myths to bring smiles to the faces of children, and anyone who would read or listen to her stories. She delights in making people happy, and with a compassionate heart as big as hers, she often goes out of her way to meet people and socialize. She enjoys making friends, and is fascinated by the different backgrounds that everyone has. She isn't even deterred by those who are less than social themselves, and will approach them to get them to talk - despite the challenge that it may be. Her persistence is only that much moreso when it's an animal, so when even an animal dislikes her, she does display a bit of.. poutiness. But rather than get so discouraged she stops trying, she continues to try and get on the other's good side, to make friends. Everyone needs a friend!
Typical of any teenage girl, Estelle demonstrates several similar traits to 'normal' or 'common' females when it comes to her appearance. It's very very slight vanity, and a bit of self consciousness about her own figure mainly. While she has accepted that she won't be as developed as other women, she can't help but feel a little envious of their fuller figure on occasion. At the same time, she does get defensive of her own figure, even a little bit offended if someone implies she might not be cute or sexy - despite any embarassment that may come of it.
A pacifist at heart, Estellise prefers not to fight whenever necessary - however, she is well aware that to accomplish certain goals, fighting cannot be avoided. To that end, she will give it her all when she fights, even though she may much rather be healing those who are injured. When she does encounter someone who is in trouble or hurt, she doesn't hesitate to throw herself into the fray and fight to protect someone, or push herself to the very limits of her abilities healing them, even if it drives her to exhaustion.

Personality cont'd: As far as decision making goes, she is almost always in conflict, especially when it comes to what she wants personally, and her duties as noble. On the one hand, as a noble, she knows she should remain at home, where she can maybe do some good and change things, even though she will be kept under guard and sheltered with no freedom there. On the other hand, she wanted to explore the world around her, to take a more active hand in helping people, and do things that she would never be permitted to do if she were at home. This conflict often leads her to simply 'follow along', or stall on a decision, constantly second guessing herself and hoping she makes the right choice. Eventually she gets a lot better about making decisions for herself, and and when she does make a decision, she sticks by it to the point of stubbornness.
Background: As one of the candidates to the Empire's throne, Estelle calls Zaphias her home, though given her status, she was never allowed to leave and mingle with anyone beneath her station. Until her chance encounter with Yuri, in fact, she'd never been outside of the castle walls. She never knew her mother - or at least, didn't know her well enough to remember her clearly, and her father likely passed away early as well. Much of Estellise's schooling and upbringing was done by nannies, and as she was under almost constant guard, she wasn't given much free reign to wander the halls of the castle. She certainly didn't have anything even remotely close to freedom, and she felt guilty for longing for such a thing, when she had a life of privilege that others would kill for.
She had few friends, most of which were servants, but her closest friend at the castle was a man by the name of Flynn Scifo. He was a member of the Imperial Knights, and despite his initial misgivings, he and his fellow knights did eventually give in to Estelle's insistence and taught her how to fight. Because of his duties, Flynn was often away from the castle and would tell Estelle of his travels whenever she asked. Again she would often feel that wistful urge to have the same freedom that he did; but she never acted on it.
Now, Estelle for all her sheltered naivete, was a special girl - not just that she was a charming girl and her servants were all fond of her, but she also had the gift of healing. The only difference between her healing magic, and the magic that others around her used, was that they used what was called a bodhi blastia; which allowed people to perform magic and special abilities. Not so for Estelle, who was capable of casting her healing arts without the aid of a blastia. To avoid questions that no one wanted to answer, or couldn't answer, Estelle was given a very fancy bodhi blastia - but a dummy one, to just make it appear that she was using the blastia to use magic. Most people who used them frequently would be able to tell that she wasn't actually using it, however. Still, there were some people who had interest in her ability - and that interest was not benign.

[ Crap, couldn't finish it with three posts. Woe~! ]
Background Cont'd Unfortunately, Flynn's time with Estelle was limited, and he eventually had to leave as part of a knightly pilgrimage. Before he left, however, he warned her that Something Was Afoot, and that she should be very careful. She didn't understand what he'd meant by that, and it wasn't until almost a week later, well after he'd left, that she began to get A Clue. An increase in her personal guard, a number of shifty looks, whispers that stop and change topics when she is near... it just was strange. Sure the knights that visited were all very nice, if a bit.. proprietary.
Over time, she'd been able to find ways to sneak out of her room to get closer and closer to finding a way to escape the castle. She'd slipped up once, the guards were going to take her back to her room when she encountered a strange man in a place where he certainly didn't belong. Admittedly he helped ... discourage the guards from following her and had even offered to help her escape. That he seemed to know Flynn was reason enough for her to trust him, and she followed him and the motley crew they met along the way - soon getting caught up in an adventure that took her out of the castle and all over the world that was as much to save it as to discover her own identity.
Abilities/Additional Notes: Combat: Weapons: Rapier and Shield; Estelle was trained by Flynn and the knights while she was in the castle in Zaphias. Of course he was reluctant since it's kind of unbecoming of a princess to fight. Initially he only taught her the basics, and took extra special care during training her. If she were to get hurt while practicing, it was him who would get in trouble. Estelle practiced often when he wasn't around, but the other knights with her were similarly reluctant to spar with her for the same reason. She is a fairly competent fighter, under a class best categorized as combat healer, but her healing is only as good as her ability to concentrate to cast. She can't, after all, use a spell or an art if someone is bashing her over the head.
[ The results of her healing would be entirely dependent on player consent ]
Healing: By far, Estellise's ability to heal is her strongest, if not the most defining. It and her compassionate (almost blindly compassionate) nature go hand in hand. Her healing ability tends to work instantaneously, and is only as strong as the amount of effort and energy she puts into casting her spell. At the same time, the drain it puts on her own energy reserves varies depending on how much effort she puts into it. Healing a simple scratch is effortless, and barely has an effect on her energy. More severe injuries take longer to heal; they aren't necessarily intantaneous, and often take several spells to be cast for the full effects to kick in. She won't hesitate if an injury will deplete her entirely, and even after recovering from passing out after excessive spellcasting, she'll just return to heal the injured person again.

Abilities : (Cont'd) Child of the Full Moon: In addition to her healing, Estellise possesses a unique power as Child of the Full Moon. The Children of the Full Moon were an enigmatic race, and as their history was passed down orally, there is not much in the way of written documentation about them, as all but one sacrificed themselves to seal away a dangerous creature that threatened the world. With the exception of other Entelexeia, a race of magical creatures that lived along with the Children of the Full Moon, no one knows their origins anymore. These people were said to be very in tune with the spirits and environment around them. However, there is bad that goes with the good, as they say. While the Children of the Full Moon had the ability to heal and interact with the magical environment, it was akin to a poison to Entelexeia - and the world. Their power relied on using, even creating aer for healing artes. For this reason, among others, the Entelexeia see the Children of the Full Moon as a poison slowly killing the world, because they generate so much aer when using their abilities, and the only way to prevent that from happening is to kill all the Children of the Full Moon.'
As aer is poisonous in large amounts, it effects Entelexeia drastically, driving them into madness and causing them to rampage, even killing them outright, turning them into a crystal called an apatheia that contains an immense amount of power. In theory, a dying Entelexeia can be converted into a different type of spirit, but it would take a lot of research and scientific/magical application to work out a practical and safe theory to do this, as well as a willing Child of the Full Moon.
Sample Journal Post: [Voice Post]
Hello? Um. .. I-Is anyone out there?
My name is Estellise, I'm.. I'm looking for some friends of mine. Their names are Yuri, Karol, Rita, Raven and Judith...
[ Quietly. ]
Ohh.. ...maybe I'm not doing this correctly... but I was so sure.. This is so strange.
[Aloud again]
Um, I'm not really sure what happened - I mean, one minute I was looking for Yuri and Repede - Repede was with me when Yuri went missing. I'll feel terrible if something's happened to him, and I know Yuri will be upset too...
Well, I can't sit around here, that's for sure...
[Voice post ends, it sounds like Estelle's voice trails off, and then footsteps as if she were walking away with the device. ]
Sample RP: Almost twenty four hours. That was how long she'd been in this new place. Before that, she had been heading for Zaphias. Yuri was missing, after all, and if he was likely to turn up anywhere, his home in the Lower Quarter surely would be it. Repede had been with her too, for a time - they had stopped in Halure to rest, and when she awoke, he was gone. He'd probably gone ahead to find Yuri, or maybe..maybe he had gotten a scent. It was peculiar he hadn't alerted her, but for some reason, Repede hadn't liked her very much.
At least, at first. Certainly he was more friendly to Rita and Judith - especially Judith. Estelle was envious. Okay sure, he did sort of get used to her after a while, but.. Estelle shook her head. She was overthinking it, and right now she had to find her friends.
The princess looked down at the peculiar device in her hand, still warm from when she poked around at its controls until someone spied her distress and helped show her how to use it. "All right!" She announced to no one in particular, clenching her fist. "Sitting around here isn't going to get me anywhere. Maybe..maybe one of my friends ended up here too." She nodded firmly to herself and started walking with renewed determination. Shelter could come later - she would search until dark, and worry about where she would sleep afterward.
