Esther



Esther is a wisp of a woman, standing just over five feet tall, and maybe weighing a hundred pounds. Her skin is pale, and her hair is a silvery white color, and her eyes are two different colors, one is ice blue and the other is a vibrant yellow, that almost seems to glow if looked at in the right light. She tends to wear pastel colored sundresses, and goes barefoot, even in the snow and cold, with no noticeable affect on her well being. She has multiple tattoos, and has an arctic fox familiar named Orion. She doesn't carry any weapons, save for her quarterstaff, and she has a haversack as her only other real possession.

Esther was born in Deadsnows in the North, Esther was the result of a union between a local woodsman, Bjorn, and a desperate hag that came to him in the guise of a beautiful woman. She called upon him several times during the long, cold winters, warming his bed, and becoming with his child. Once Bjorn realized that he had been tricked and seduced by the vile creature, he tracked and slew the hag, almost dying in the process. He then reclaimed his now infant daughter, and brought her up in Deadsnows, raising her in the simple, honest lifestyle that he himself grew up in, only telling her as she grew up that her mother had died not long after her birth. She knew she was a little different as she got older, as being able to see in the dark, and having an affinity for magic wasn't normal. Plus her eyes were two different colors. She connected with Orion, her fox familiar, early as Orion just showed up one day, and attached herself to Esther.

Her father told her the story of her birth once she reached her majority, and how he named her after her grandmother, who had passed away many years ago. She had decided Deadsnows was not the place for her once she was eighteen, and she fell in with a caravan leaving. The original caravan she fell in with benefited from her astrology and being able to read signs, and was blessed with luck. She also learned about some of the gods she'd never heard of during this time, and sought out a priestess of Lliira once she'd gotten the chance, and discovered that she had an affinity for Lliira's teachings. she made an instant connection with another young follower of Lliira, Lilibet, and the pair realized their bond ran deeper than friendship, and she and the half elven lass have been together ever since. The battle with Viysahnith taught her a lesson about mortality, and she and Lilibet made their union permanent after, deciding to not wait any longer to wed.

She met up with her current companions not long after her stay with Lliira's faithful, and has been an intrinsic member of the group since then, her versatility with magick and hexes, including healing a boon to her comrades. She has been more interested at times in experiencing the world, and seeing the sights, and her attention span is sometimes shorter than it should be. She's also been known to hit the pipeweed a lot, rolling it into papers and smoking it for the high. She is a true embodiment of a follower of Lliira, wanting to experience life to it's fullest.
