Character Name: Esther Blanchett
Character Series: Trinity Blood (manga)
Character Age: 19
Background: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Trinity_Blood_characters#Esther_Blanchett
Personality: When we first meet Esther it is hard to believe she is supposed to be the heroine of the series. The young nun starts off tomboyish, rash, violent, and a loud mouth. To paraphrase another character from the series, Dietrich, she liked to talk big but, had no real power to back it up. Inwardly she would constantly doubt herself. She would think things like “I am a burden” or “That's right. I can't do anything.” She would try to overcompensate for that. For example, the incident where she charged in, gun in hand to confront a vampire in the Iblis arc. She was so determined to prove that to herself and Abel that she was not useless that she lost all common sense.
There was also another side to her though; one that often was overshadowed at the beginning. Esther is a compassionate young woman. After a vampire attack on the Church, Esther reassures Dietrich, who she considers a friend at the time, about his role in protecting her and the Church. This was after she was nearly killed herself which she seems to consider unimportant compared to Dietrich's pain. We later find out that she prayed for Dietrich and his parents after he told her his story when they first met.
Although it is not clear until later on in the manga series (but was always obvious in the novels), she is also a natural leader. Esther was practically a child when she began to lead the Partisans against Gyula. Dietrich was the mastermind, but Esther was their inspiriation. She led the downtrodden and desperate people of Istavan against a leader who was slowly but, surely sending them to their deaths. Considering the fact it is hinted she did this for quite some time before Abel met her at the age of seventeen, that is saying something about her ability.
She may have doubted herself at the start after leaving her homeland but, throughout her journey we see her confidence grow. By the time she returns to Istavan, Esther has become a force to be reckoned with. When prompted to give a speech which encouraged war and glorified the battles she fought with the Parisians, Esther is reluctant at best. She instead ends up giving a speech encouraging people to instead question their leaders and drives home the fact that what she did back then was a mistake. They could have avoided the fighting and deaths if they had tried to understand each other.
It is this belief that leads her to rebel against the Vatican shortly after her speech. Esther's strong sense of justice refused to let her accept that Shahrazad should have her family stolen from her and receive no help from anyone just because she was a vampire. Esther makes an enemy of the Vatican, her former troops, and friends for the sake of Shahrazad and her family. She never once regrets it. Esther boldly refuses to give up Shahrazad's smile or her life. The only thing she does regret is what little she can do. However it is different from the start of the manga. Instead of lamenting over her powerlessness, she thinks to herself that there is no time for her cry over it. She would keep fighting and doing what she could until the very end.
Unfortunately fighting is not enough. Tragically, she cannot save Shahrazad or her family and watches helplessly as her friend is brutally maimed in front of her. She never loses faith or her loyalty towards Shahrazad. Even as the girl dies in her arms, Esther stubbornly reaffirms her loyalty until her friend pleads with her to not only survive but, change the world for the better. While Esther tries to fight her on this until Shahrazad's dying breath, she gives in at the end. She takes credit for kiling Shahrazad the “evil vampire” and starts a new mission to change the world.
Esther goes from being a rash but, well intended child trying to figure out the world around her to a true heroine trying to make the world see that fighting and hating each other was wrong.
