Biography

Esther... Esther... She is the one, who doesn't know her last name. There is a voice in her head. There is a voice of a woman, who was, likely, her mother. She calls the girl. She tells her name not so clearly, but she still can understand her name. Sadly, the last name somehow freezes in the woman's lips. Usually, then all the dreams from grey and black fill with the scream, curses and blood. Esther is so small. She runs backwards, watching how staggering massive figure lays over more fragile one. The girl falls down, raises and runs out through the door, not glancing back again.

This dream visits Esther really often, not letting to forget, how her drunk mother and even more drunk father gets into a huge fight and... someone kills someone. She still can't remember, who did what. She was just five years old girl, when she ran away. She never came back into that tiny village in the Woriscant. The girl ran into the woods and just when she reached the shadow of a huge oak, she floped on the ground beside the tree, covered her eyes with hands and started to cry.

She does not remember if she was crying for hours, days or months. Likely, it was just a few hours, when her abdomen growled, announcing how hungry it is. The girl knew, that she will never go back home,she knew, that she has to learn to survive alone. So, she stood up and wandered in the shadows of the woods, trying to find some berries.

She is so thankful for the Old Gods even now, that they gifted her with Acute Hearing. She could hear the hooves or steps, or whispers from quite a far. Maybe the fear of the young girl boosted her hearing too. So, when she heard someone comming, she had enough time to hide. Plus, she was so small, that even the stem of the tree was able to become her shelter.

The days were changed by weeks, and months were changed by weeks. The girl grow up in the woods as some kind of a wild animal. She could remind an animal too. Her hair were tangled, she was so dirty, and she definitely was not so intelligent, but the woods became her home and she was like a fish in the water there.

The girl became very slim, but incredibly quick. At some point, she was almost a monkey, who climbed into the trees, could jump from one branches on the others. When she moved, nobody were able to hear her, because she knew exactly where to place her feet. So, nobody saw her, nobody heard her, but she saw everyone, and heard everything.

At first, the young girl lived from what she was able to find in the forest. Then she started to sneak up on a lonely farms, stealing eggs, later even chickens. With the age grew up and the girl's courage. She started to steal things from the bakeries of local bigger villiges. She even tried pickpocketing, but was almost caught, so she never tried it again. It was easier to steal things from home.

When she turned 12, the girl killed her first wild animal. It was a rabbit. One, later another. She did that just with a simple stone. After a few months, Esther stole a bow with a few arrows from a dead body. She started to teach herself of marksmanship. When she stole a dagger, she learned how to use it a bit, and it became her blade too. Of course, she even stole a few wooden swords, which she used for her trainings.

Even more later, the girl got into a few fights with other beggars, wanderers, and orphans. She was a bit older than 17 years old, then.

Esther never had a home. She always moved and tried never stay in one place. Maybe, this is the reason, why she never was caught. Though, she believes, that her main reason, why she was never caught, is her prayers and sacrificies for JAYNOS. The girl never stopped believing in him and still believes in him.

So, she travelled from Woriscant into Granville, when she travelled to Beresgond, across the rivers. After then she went into Athereyne, where she saw not just the ocean and incredibly wonderful ships, but she found a passion to horses too. The girl found a job there, finally, when she was 24 years old. She worked in the stables of city of Equis. She learned how to ride, got into a few more fights, after the work, when she got drunk. Though, even if she had a job, the girl decided to live in a small forest.

It was quite wonderful days, but then the famine and plague came. It was a true miracle, that she was never caught by the illness, and that she never felt that famine. The girl came back to her talents of stealth and thievery and she left Athereyne.

Esther stole the horse and never left it's side. During the journey to the capital, she had no other choice, but to steal from these, who were dead. But it was not so dark days. Esther found one of her best friends during the journey - a dog, whom she named Tukus. The young woman trained that animal and he never left her side. It was a huge hound!

When she reached Beresgond again, Esther left into the forest, where she wanted to pray for the Old Gods. Then she met the young princess Barbeta Brais. The young princess was a bit away from her escort, Esther didn't know, that she is the princess. She heard, that princess prayed for the same JAYNOS. Then all the conversation started.

That's how even before the plague Esther became faithful handmaiden of Barbeta and never left her side and she is ready to do anything for the princess.
