Justice--her beloved father was ruined and her family torn apart by Seraphine Des-Marais. She'll do anything to right those wrongs and, in the process, this puts her on path to also rescue her country.

Hotheaded, tends to be reckless, has a terrible habit of gambling everything on high-stakes bets. Not only with money, but she also has a plain old monetary gambling problem. Doesn''t like to be saved but always has to be. Often overconfident. Tends to neglect her magic. Often drinks when life gets too bad, then goes and takes insane risks. She's an alcoholic. Her drinking tendencies are getting out of control.

Hates Seraphine Des-Marais. As soon as she learns that Seraphine worked for the Villien government, she begins to hate them.

Incredible public speaker, especially when she needs to fire up a crowd. Physically very capable, and passing good at governance. Amazing mechanical designer, but not so much builder. She has a thousand sketches for weapons and machines.

Baking! She loves making cookies, especially when chocolate is involved. Of course, these days, she trains more, but she loves that just as much.

FIERY. Estelle will never back down from a fight. She's driven and determined, but this often leads to overconfidence that, in turn, leads to risky behavior. When a risk backfires, she'll go into a rut that can sometimes lead to even more insane risks--often brought on by her alcoholism.

Locks her jaw when she's trying to stop herself from snapping at someone, clenches her fists when she's angry, paces when she's ranting or stressed

Her pink notebook from when she was a kid in the Palace of Waters. It has all these notes that she took on governance and the Court.

Ancient Myllirian, but she's not very devout

Center, but leans left on social issues and right on economic issues

Head of the Whitewater Revolution, (fallen) princess of the Lakeshore, eventual queen of the Lakeshore

Wine red

Spicy noodles (think Pad Thai type stuff)

Her high-powered crossbow, which she's nicknamed Tueur for 'killer.' She only uses magic when she has no other option.

Bluejays

November 10

Estelle was born as the daughter of a governor, but with the secession of the Lakeshore, she became a princess. Alfonse raised her in the Court of the Waters. Her greatest passion was the government, but as she grew older, it was clear that she didn't have the talent for it. She still tried as hard as she could, but it just wasn't for her. When the scandal with Seraphine Des-Marais erupted, she was confident that her father was innocent, but her mother thought otherwise. Estelle grew up filled with the rage of having her future stolen from her. When Seraphine's infrastructure initiative started hurting the people, Estelle finally had a more stable reason to pursue her vendetta against the queen. She joined the Whitewater Resistance, which later exploded into the bloody Whitewater Revolution. This ultimately led to Seraphine losing the throne to Estelle.

Received extensive tutoring at the palace until she was 12, then homeschool to a decent extent by her mother until she was 16.

A water magician like her father, but significantly more gifted. She neglects her magic, which makes it unpredictable.

Alcoholism

Bisexual
