“In the middle of the biggest war in Liberl's history, my mother gave her life to save mine! And because of that, I chose the path of a bracer, and now...look at me! I'm here to stop the crisis YOU caused and prevent another war from breaking out! All thanks, in the end, to my mother! Hell, I'd say you just made my point for me! People are NOT powerless! Not against anything!”

Introduction

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter

A girl from Liberl Kingdom training to become a Bracer in order to protect the safety of civilians and peace of cities. A bright, outgoing, and optimistic girl who never gives up, no matter the situation. Her sincere nature leads her to trust others easily, and her actions are often impulsive. Trained by her father, a veteran Bracer, she posesses considerable combat skills. For the past 5 years, she has been striving to become a Senior Bracer alongside her adopted older brother, Joshua.

영웅전설 제로의 궤적

One of the protagonists from the Trails in the Sky series. Estelle is a determined, cheerful young woman who's almost always charging full steam ahead. In the past, she had a bit more of a hot-headed personality, but thanks to her travels, she's matured quite a bit. Despite being so young, she and Joshua are already highly capable bracers with a number of accomplishments under their belts. The SSS thinks of them as fierce rivals, but given the vast difference in their skill levels, the truth is that it's a rather one-sided rivalry.

영웅전설 섬의 궤적 IV

A senior bracer from the Liberl Kingdom whose father, Cassius Bright, is the commander of its armed forces. She was promoted to Senior Bracer at the young age of 16 and played a key role in saving her country from the Liberlian Intelligence Division's coup d'etat and the Orbal Shutdown incident. After meeting Renne, a young girl who was an Enforcer in Ouroboros, she and Joshua convinced her to leave them behind and join their family. With things settled for the moment, Estelle continued her bracer work, all the while, collecting information from all across western Zemuria. After hearing troubling rumors about the Courageous exploding and the breakdown of diplomatic relations between Erebonia and Calvard, Estelle, with Joshua and Renne at her side, goes to find the truth.

Appearance

Estelle is a young woman with bright brown hair that is worn in twin tails and crimson eyes.

In her original appearance, Estelle wears a plain white shirt, black spats and a combination of a red skirt with a pinafore attachment and red jacket. A shoulder protector is worn over her left shoulder, and she also has red covered sneakers, fingerless gloves, and metallic hair ornaments.

Estelle later adopts a more orange-centric outfit, exchanging the red jacket and spats for a skirt and jacket of orange and white. She now wears white thigh-high stockings with a turquoise band at the top and matching shoulder guard. She wears a green shirt with a leather band around her stomach and orange Stregas.

In her older appearance in Erebonia, Estelle keeps the orange colour but with additional black elements mixed in. The pleats on her skirt are gone, instead having a vertical black stripe and spats. Her thigh-highs are now black and she wears more feminine shoes. Her shirt is now black and white with thin straps, with semi-detached sleeves. She now wears longer black fingerless gloves.

Estelle uses a long bo-staff in combat. It is red with two segments wrapped in white cloth for handling and two metal knobs at either side.

Personality

Estelle has a cheerful and energetic personality, and begins the story with a strong desire to become a bracer. She is initially reckless and naive, generally ignorant of the ways of the world, and has a habit of loudly vocalizing her shock. She is very tomboyish and had hobbies not typically common for a regular girl when she was a child, such as spending most of her time outdoors, collecting sneakers, bug catching, and fishing. This often left her father, Cassius, wondering how Estelle ended up growing into this kind of person.

Estelle has a tendency to get riled up and become aggressive when upset, such as when she jump‑kicked Joshua for yelling the first time she met him and immediately discouraged him from saying anything further. Cassius even jokes that he wouldn’t be able to stand up to Estelle if her temper ever reached its peak. Despite this fiery streak, she is one of the kindest and most optimistic people around. She wears her heart on her sleeve, and while that can lead to occasional bursts of short temper, she is still able to show mercy and compassion even to her enemies. Her personality makes it easy for her to befriend others; even villains often find themselves won over by her. She will go out of her way to complete missions, even when they are time‑consuming or inconvenient. She also has a fond love of Stregas and keeps an entire collection of them.

Estelle is relatively naive and slow to understand complex things such as technology or being asked to cooking a complex recipe by Cassius only for him to retract his request upon seeing Estelle is left studder and instead request her cooked a much more simple recipe and she is rather poor academically. She tend to panics whenever she has to do anything involving studying and often requires Joshua to help her get through it. When Tita explains how tech works, Estelle immediately stops her, as she can’t grasp or handle what she is explaining.

Estelle is initially somewhat rather clueless about love and romance, but she becomes aware of it when Tita misunderstands her relationship with Joshua and innocently asks if the two of them are married. The question leaves Estelle panicking as she rushes to clear up the misunderstanding, explaining that they are adoptive siblings. This moment also forces her to reflect on some of the embarrassing things she has done around Joshua—things she never thought twice about before—and she gradually realizes that she has romantic feelings for him. She tries to deny it at first, but eventually comes to accept her feelings. Her newfound clarity is shattered when Joshua says farewell and leaves her, breaking her heart. In the aftermath, she searches for him frantically, desperate to understand why he disappeared and determined to find him again.

She has a somewhat-strained relationship with her father due to their similar personalities and doesn't really understand what makes her father so great. Regardless, she loves him deeply and comes to understand him a bit better throughout the series. She is good friends with Kloe and Anelace and has a sister-like relationship with Schera and Tita.

Over the course of her time as a bracer, she slowly matures and gains a deeper understanding of people and the world at large. This growth culminates after Joshua abruptly leaves her, marking a turning point where she changes significantly as a person. Her development continues throughout the events in Liberl, as she becomes more confident and capable as a bracer. She chooses to think and plan things through rather than charging in recklessly as she once did, and her love and insight allow her to win over both Joshua and Renne. She also becomes noticeably wittier and sassier, delivering remarks and one‑liners that would have flown over her head earlier in her journey. Estelle’s determination reaches new heights, and virtually nothing can stop her from moving forward. Many characters liken her to the sun, claiming her radiance is what keeps her going. By the end of SC, her party acknowledges her as the true leader of the group.

Estelle remains humorously afraid of ghosts.
