Estelle Bright - Morning in Rolent

Estelle is a determined, cheerful young woman who's almost always charging full steam ahead. In the past, she had a bit more of a hot-headed personality, but thanks to her travels, she's matured quite a bit. She and Joshua are already highly capable bracers with a number of accomplishments under their belt.

Personality: Estelle has a cheerful and energetic personality, and begins the story with a strong desire to become a bracer. She is initially reckless and naive, generally ignorant to the ways of the world, and has a habit of vocalizing her shock. Despite having a tendency towards getting riled up and becoming aggressive, she is one of the kindest characters in the series. She generally wears her heart on her sleeve, and while that can lead to some occasional short-temper at times, she is able to show mercy and compassion to even her enemies. Her personality makes it easy for her to befriend others; even villains have a habit of being won over by her.

She will generally go out of her way to complete missions, even if they're time-consuming or inconvenient. She also has a fond love of Stregas and has an entire collection of them. Throughout FC, she eventually realizes she has romantic feelings for Joshua Bright, but tries to deny it at first. She has a somewhat-strained relationship with her father due to their similar personalities and doesn't really understand what makes her father so great. Regardless, she loves him deeply and comes to understand him a bit better throughout the games. She is good friends with Kloe and Anelace and has a sister-like relationship with Schera and Tita.

Over the course of FC, she slowly matures and gains a stronger understanding of people and the world at large, culminating in the beginning of SC where she significantly changes as a person. Her growth continues in SC, as she becomes more confidant and capable as a bracer. She opts to think and plan things through, instead of charging in like before, and her love and insight has allowed her to win over Joshua and Renne. She also becomes significantly wittier and sassier as well, making remarks and witty one-liners that would have originally flown over her head. Estelle's determination reaches a new height, and virtually nothing stops her from moving forward. Many characters liken her to the sun and claim her radiance allows her to keep going. By the end of SC, her party acknowledges her as the true leader of the group. Estelle is humorously afraid of ghosts

Apparence: Estelle is a young woman with bright brown hair that is worn in twin tails and crimson eyes.

She wears a skirt and jacket of orange and white. Some white thigh-high stockings with a turquoise band at the top and matching shoulder guard. She also wears a green shirt with a leather band around her stomach and orange Stregas.

Background Early Life: Estelle was born and raised in Rolent as the daughter to honored military general (and later top-ranking |bracer) Cassius Bright and his wife Lena on August 7, S.1186. She enjoyed a peaceful childhood until the start of the Hundred Days War in S.1192. At the age of 6, her mother sacrificed her life protecting Estelle from an Erebonian assault on Rolent's clock tower and the rubble from its collapse, which later led to Cassius leaving the military to become a bracer. Estelle was eager to follow in his footsteps and wanted to become a bracer herself when she turned 16.

Some time after her mother's death, at the age of 11, Cassius brought home an injured boy named Joshua, who eventually became her adopted brother. Joshua and Estelle became extremely close over the next five years, and both became bracers together at age 16.
