Profile

Appearance

She is not tall, but pretty athletic and skinny. She has red-orange hair, most of the time kept in a half-ponytail, and big turquoise eyes. She has a birthmark on her right shoulder that reminds of the Scutum (shield) Constellation, but she hardly ever shows this to anyone.
She normally wears a simple green plaid shirt. Comfortable over elegance is her motto, so her beloved working trousers are a must. She hardly ever wears shoes, since she prefers boots.

Personality

She is a bright and smart girl, always ready to joke around a little. Despite appearing mature, she has some sort of childish attitude when she gets too happy or excited.
She is very sensitive of other people emotions and shows great empathy, even with people who wouldn't deserve it. She is afraid to cry and yell in front of others when emotions ask for it, so she vents alone by herself.
When she gets angry it's really difficult to calm her down and a petty behaviour arises, overcoming every other feeling. She seems to get jealous easily especially for people and things she cares about and doesn't hesitate to call them "hers".

Story

History

Ester was born in Altissia, but attended elementary and high school in Insomnia, because of her mother's work. It is here that she meets for the first time both Noctis and Prompto, but after returning to Altissia she forgets them while growing up.
She didn't get along with her parents, especially her father, that's why she decided to leave home at a young age in order to find a job and live by herself away from Insomnia. After buying herself a companion, the cockatoo BlaBla, she decides to travel Eos and finding a job in the Chocobo farm.

The Meet Up

One day, working at the Chocobo Farm, she notices four strange men, asking for a room to stay. Wiz, the farm owner, offers them the caravan in exchange for them to take down Deadeye, the behemot that had been hunting the area for days. These men will reveal themselves as the Prince Noctis and his companions. Given the deep hate she feels towards royals, she is immediately self-conscious of their presence.
While waiting for them to finish their job as hunters, a black dog (Umbra) shows up at the farm, that seems directed toward the area of Deadeye itself. Ester, given her profound love for animals, is afraid for the dog to be caught up in the battle, and follow it in order to bring it back. But things don't really go as planned and she finds herself in the middle of the battle for a few seconds. In order to save her, Noctis lets her use the royal magic in order to defend herself. For some reasons, she finds a great affinity with elemental magic and manages to protect herself from the behemot's attacks. 


Joining the Party

Later on, she discovers Noctis' true intentions and, since Altissia is her hometown where her only loving relative lives, her grandma, she feels like visiting the city one more time. Before saying goodbye to the travelers, she has a thought: given her knowledge of beasts and animals, she offers herself to help them in hunting and in exchange they bring her to Altissia. She is reluclant about this decision at first, but takes her decision in the end.
She turns out to be useful to find out the locations of some beasts or to alert them of possible treats and hidden lairs . She follows them everywhere and become attached to them in a very short time, even after they get separated after the battle with Leviathan. None of the guys is able to meet her again until Prompto gets kidnapped by Ardyn, time when she rejoins the three friends left.   Ten years later, she is able to meet Noctis again, being now a helping hand in taking care of the hunters' Chocobos and animals side by side of Prompto.

Relatioships

 noctis_closeup_by_airicchan-daw6ih5.pngNoctis Lucis Caelum 
At first Ester doesn't feel a strong sympathy toward Noctis, mostly for its royal origins. Their first interactions can be considered kinda awkward and even rude sometimes.
She doesn't remain disappointed since Noctis doesn't reveal himself as the classic spoiled and rude prince (well... not excessively) but she's surprised by his morals and selflessness.
Noctis doesn't minimally remember her from when they met for the first time in elementary school, neither does Prompto, probably because they talked very little, but she does.
As time passes by, Ester becomes attached to him, and Noctis to her. She sometimes thinks of him as her "emotional refuge", since he's the first one she reveals some personal information to. For some mysterious reason and despite the horrible first impressions, there comes good chemistry between them.
When Ester finds out, ten years in the future, that to save the world Noctis must sacrifice himself, she can't accept that so easily. Nonetheless she understands what must be done so tries to give him reassuring words of support, but at some point in Hammerhead, before the four friends leave for the palace, she cries in front of everyone for the first time and tell him how much he helped her but, unable to be honest with her feelings, cannot tell him how much she cares for him.

Prompto/Ester here 




ffxv_ignis_by_airicchan-daw6ih9.jpgIgnis Scientia 
Ester sees Ignis as "her main source of joy", referring to the food, of course. The evening meal is the most awaited moment for her, throughout the day, and is one of the moments where her childish behaviour takes over. She is the only one that doesn't discard any type of food and doesn't have particular preferences: she eats everything and a lot, always offering to take care of Noctis' vegetables. Ignis doesn't mind, in fact he feels even more appreciated. Despite all this, however, Ester enjoys teasing the serious and stoic character of him. He is in charge of teaching Ester how to fight with magic, and thanks to him she becomes quite stronger. 

When Ignis loses his sight, she doesn't know how to approach him anymore, making their interactions quite difficult at first, but during the ten years they spend together she recognizes his uunfaltering will and acts normal again around him. 


ffxv_gladio_by_airicchan-daw6ihd.jpgGladiolus Amicitia
Ester is pretty intimidated by Gladio, perhaps because of his powerful appearances, but eventually she learns to see him as a great ally and also a loyal friend. Gladio gradually turns her into another younger sister who has to take care of. Gladio teaches her the basics of sword fighting, seeing in her some potential but that can't get out of her altogether. Ester is not exactly the most athletic girl out there...





iris_amicitia_render_ffxv_by_airicchan-dIris Amicitia
The two girls get along since they first met. Not being able to stay together for a long time, Iris would like to share with her some solitary moments "for girls", but Ester is not very attracted by the idea, even if Iris manages to drag her along. She is the first to realize a real feeling of love from Ester towards Prompto (which immediately panics Ester...)



BlaBla
Her dear cockatoo with a bad attitude. She bought him in Insomnia from where she used to work in an animal shop, and she immediately loved him.
He is a very intelligent and talkative parrot that can imitate human language. Since his master is very dangerous when she tries to cook something, he is scared that one day she will cook him by mistake.
He has the particular ability to find Ester wherever she is, even if he disappears from sight for a long time. She doesn't really know how, but maybe he never actually goes too far away but follows her from a distance. He loves flying freely in the sky, but when the night comes, he is scared of every moving thing.
