SD) Estellise Sidos Heurassein (Tales of Vesperia)

"We will create our own path to follow."

A young noblewoman, Estellise's upbringing was fairly restrictive, mostly limited to Zaphias Castle. As such, she gained most of her knowledge of the outside world from books, making her an avid reader who can recite passages from memory. Naturally skilled in the use of healing artes, made all the more impressive due to her ability to cast without the use of a blastia, she is also proficient in the use of swords, staves, and shields. After a fateful encounter with Yuri, in which he is mistaken for the knight Flynn, Estellise asks to travel with Yuri both to find and ensure the safety of Flynn, but also to broaden her horizons. It's Yuri who nicknames her "Estelle", a moniker she quickly adopts.

As the story unfolds, we learn that Estelle is a princess, and is a candidate for the throne. We also come to learn that she possesses the power of "The Child of the Full Moon," allowing her to draw her power directly from the world's aer in place of a blastia. Her sheltered life has left her quite naive, and while good-natured and selfless to a fault, she struggles with indecision. Her impulse to help those in need causes her to shift priorities and chase after new goals readily, which eventually causes a bit a friction.

With the help of Judith's bluntness and Yuri's ever present support for her to focus on what she wants, she grows more confident in herself and in taking a stand for what she believes in. While she spends a lot of the early story thinking about her duty to take the throne, by the end it's made clear that not only does she not want this, but would have likely turned it down if offered. Her desire to help others and her love of learning about the world lends itself more to a life of travelling with her friends and companions.

In combat, she serves as both a healer as well as a fairly capable, if a bit inexperienced fighter. Her artes focus primarily on healing and buffing her allies while also providing her a few ranged attack options. Surprisingly defensive, she can also act as a melee focused tank as needed, making her far more versatile in combat than most healers.

In Shattered Destinies, she'd likely be among the earliest party members, serving as the primary healer of the group. Her natural curiosity combined with her desire to aid those in need make for natural motivation, and she would likely spur the group to action on numerous occasions. Her naive but caring nature would make her willing to speak to and trust those who others in the group may be wary of. While this won't always be a good thing, it would absolutely help bridge together the more cynical companions.

With her well read history and love of learning, she would among the first to recognize specific things within each world the party visits, as well as making her a natural choice to tackle any research that needs to be done. I could see her and Parvati instantly connecting with one another, with Estelle finding Parvati's knowledge of technology impressive, even if she doesn't fully understand it. Other characters, such as Cyan and Minthara, would likely find common ground in agreeing that Estelle an innocent soul, deserving of protection.
