CONTACT/TEAM PREFERENCES

A comment separate from your app with your name, email, and team preferences. Making it a separate comment lets us keep it screened, thus keeping your team preferences private.

For the time zone field, feel free to make a note if working bizarre hours makes you effectively on a different time zone than stated.

"Team preferences" is a catch-all field for any thoughts you might have regarding your character's placement. For example, you might want a team that will put up with your character's sociopathy, or has a certain "feel" to it, or is friendly to your time zone, or maybe you don't think your character looks good in orange, and so on! This is also the spot to let us know if there are teams you DON'T want to be on. While you're not required to put anything here, don't say you have no preference unless you really, honestly have NOTHING to say on the subject! If you've already apped and realized you'd forgotten something? Make another comment!

Character Name: Estellise Sidos Heurassein
Canon: Tales of Vesperia
Reference Link: Here you go.

Character History: Until the events of the game, Estelle led a rather quiet life. Living in the Imperial Castle as a princess and candidate to the throne, she had a very restrictive upbringing, never straying outside the castle walls. While her mother passed away early in her life and nothing is mentioned of her father, Estelle was far from lonely as she made friends with all those in the castle, including a rookie knight, Flynn. In this way, she grows up into a sweet, though naive, young woman.

After receiving worrisome news about Flynn, Estelle becomes determined to leave the castle to warn him of the danger. In the chaos of her escape, she meets Yuri which sets in motion a larger chain of events. At first, she goes along with Yuri to find Flynn, but her helpful nature causes her to become side-tracked easily as she realizes the suffering of the people. Estelle decides to see the various injustices she comes across to their end, refusing to return to the castle until the people of the empire are safe.

Along the way, Estelle comes to realize the truth about her unusual powers and is forced to wrestle with the fact that her existence is a threat to the very world. Selfless to a fault, she wishes for her own death in order to save the world, but she quickly realizes the mistake in her decision as the friends she has made along her journey are quick to protest such a hasty choice. With many false starts and setbacks, the group is eventually able to save the world to Estelle’s great joy.

Personality: At heart, Estelle is a charming and sweet girl that is full of good intentions. However, while she lacks experience when it comes to her convictions at the beginning of the game, she proves that following the path of your own desires and beliefs is not naive nor misguided as long as you are aware of the price you will pay to follow it. Always ready to lend a hand, Estelle never turns from those that need help and doing what she feels is right; her desire to help others is as natural as breathing to her. With this determination, when Estelle realizes that her life could cause others harm, she is quick to wish for her own death in order to protect them. To a group of people that have been ready to support and help Estelle to realize her own wishes, her request is far too much. In this way, Estelle learns the consequences of her noble intents and understands what is most important to her -- Not only the people she wishes to help, but also the people that have helped her. Her determination doesn’t suffer with this realization, but it gives her more power to push forward with a greater understanding of the world around her.

In fact, Estelle lead a very sheltered life as she was raised in seclusion within the Imperial Palace. So, while she is not nearly as experienced with the world as others, Estelle is also more curious than most about it. She is easily fascinated by places and people, having spent her childhood with her nose in the books to learn through reading. Likewise, she can be childlike, acting younger than would expect a woman her age to, especially with a few strange ideas and a penchant to pout. Still, she is able to maturely face any situation as it is expected of her when the time comes. With people, she is always eager to make a friend, determined to socialize when given the chance, and she is able to endear many to her cause, without realizing her own charms. Where people would accept or not look closely at a person, Estelle can be very insightful, seeing another side of the situation due to her inquisitive and observant nature. While Estelle may not have much experience with people, she is able to see to the heart of them and their situation in many cases. Estelle may be easy to underestimate or overlook, she has a power of her own that is captivating albeit underwhelming at first look.
