Personality: A cheery, plucky dwarf. She loves to make friends and encourage them whenever and wherever she can. Most of the time, even in the face of conflict, she is more than capable of keeping a calm mind, encouraging everyone to settle down, and trying to drum up a compromise. Though she has grown used to the typical bustle of the hospital, in moments of panic, she has a terrible habit of locking up or second-guessing herself.
History: Hester comes from a small, highly superstitious village of dwarves. Her father died when she was young, and the townsfolk were very critical of her and her mother. At first, Hester chalked it up to nonsense—just because they both had an interest in magic, it didn't mean they were up to anything malicious. However, as Hester grew, she began to notice odd things about her mother. The way she slipped off in the night, secluded herself in the cellar for incredibly long periods, and would hide totems around the house.
One day, the mayor's wife fell deeply ill, suffering with nightmarish symptoms. It seemed like any medicine only made it worse. That was when Hester, empathetic to the poor woman, turned to her books for help. And in the process, she likewise discovered a macabre shrine set up by her mother. One that was undoubtedly the source of the woman's ailment, and proof that her mother was a witch, partaking in very evil magic.
Hester flew into a panic, naturally angry at her mother. How many deaths in this village could be chalked up to her? Including her own father's...In her rage, Hester decided to rat her out to the mayor. Hester thought they would just detain and scare her, but instead, she would be executed the same day. There was nothing she could do as her mother hung for her crimes, and to make it worse, the mayor's wife had also passed away. She was too late...
Ever since, Hester has been focused on redeeming herself. She doubled down on her ambition to heal, and picking up whispers of the Wyrmspire Clinic—and the chances it could offer in that regard—she wasted no time in setting out to join them!
Other: Hester is 5'0 with a muscular build, green eyes, and wild pinkish-red hair.
