*Full Name: Postulant Esther Le Blanc
Nicknames: It was ‘Essy’ in the orphanage, but no one calls her by that name anymore.
Apparent Age: 18
*True Age: 20
*Gender: Female
*Hair: Long and red, and had never been cut. Though it is beautiful and lush, often her hair is tied back in a tight bun, so as to not interfere with the habit, and her work in the monastery.
*Skin: Very pale, with a smattering of freckles
*Eyes: A wide-eyed, pure greyish blue
*Height: Rather short, at about 5’2”
*Body Type: Petite, both from little physical activity and sparse meals. As a part of their charity work, she and the rest of the order often fast and donate the cost of their food to local homeless shelters.
*Physical Description: Small and slender, with a flat, boyish figure and long locks, Esther is just a whisper of a thing. Her long copper-wire hair was doted upon in the orphanage when she was a young girl, but is now painstakingly wrapped in a tight bun most days.

She is a devoted Franciscan nun, whose only wish in her worldly form is to serve her God, and spread his word to those unfortunate enough to have not yet heard of his everlasting love.

How does your character relax in this stressful you-could-be-eaten-alive-the-moment-you-let-your-guard-down world? Prayer
Misc. Quirks: Ie, extravagant hand gestures, plays with the ring on his/her ring finger, or skips more than walks:
Constantly crossing herself, mumbling prayers, and fiddling with her cross necklace
Morals and Code of Honor/Rules for Survival: What Would Jesus Do? Esther believes that God has chosen mankind to help combat Satan, as he has unleashed his evil minions upon the earth in an act against god.
-Childhood:
Put in a dirty, crowded, Parisian orphanage at birth. Learned to scrap at a young age, and fought all the boys, until she was taken as a Postulant, initially against her will, by a local convent at the age of 12. Over time, they had a way of making her not only believe in God, but want only to be a tool of God.
-Family
None.
-Schooling.
All she needed to know she learned either surviving the orphanage or in careful study at the convent.
-Life Experience.
What made you choose your present occupation? The orphanage forcing her to join the convent, and her love for God.
Describe any traumatic experiences in your present occupation that have affected you deeply in some way. Nothing traumatic….just small miracles which she witnesses every day.
Who/what are your role models now and in childhood? In childhood, the drunks who fought sloppily in the streets late at night. As an adult, Jesus.
-Travel.
Do you get: seasick, airsick, motionsick - auto or animal back? Terrified of flying, and nauseated by it. She recently relocated to the U.S. to study with American nuns, but was horrified by the plane.
Do you like riding animals - horses, camels, etc.? No---That’s not decent for a young lady.
Any fears about traveling? Getting lost…
Mission: At present, what is the most important thing to you? Fighting on the site of god, to survive, and rid the world of Satan’s minions.
