Estelle Bright

Estelle Bright is a member of the Bracer Guild in Liberl. She is the main protagonist of Trails in the Sky FC and SC, and a recurring ally in the rest of the series. 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-thigh 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 the return of 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. 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 to the ways of the world, and has a habit of vocalizing her shock. Despite having a tendency of getting riled up and becoming aggressive, she is one of the kindest characters in the series. She generally wears her heart on her sleeve, and while that can lead to some occasional short-temper at times, she is able to show mercy and compassion to even her enemies. Her personality makes it easy for her to befriend others; even villains have a habit of being won over by her. She will generally go out of her way to complete missions, even if they're time-consuming or inconvenient. She also has a fond love of Stregas and has an entire collection of them. Throughout FC, she eventually realizes she has romantic feelings for Joshua Bright, but tries to deny it at first. 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 games. She is good friends with Kloe and Anelace and has a sister-like relationship with Schera and Tita. Over the course of FC, she slowly matures and gains a stronger understanding of people and the world at large, culminating in the beginning of SC where she significantly changes as a person. Her growth continues in SC, as she becomes more confidant and capable as a bracer. She opts to think and plan things through, instead of charging in like before, and her love and insight has allowed her to win over Joshua and Renne. She also becomes significantly wittier and sassier as well, making remarks and witty one-liners that would have originally flown over her head. Estelle's determination reaches a new height, and virtually nothing stops her from moving forward. Many characters liken her to the "sun" and claim her radiance allows her to keep going. By the end of SC, her party acknowledges her as the true leader of the group. Estelle is humorously afraid of ghosts.
