"Are you lost, child?"
Silas had to resist the urge to scowl as the small boy looked up at him, hugging his old stuffed rabbit tighter.

Character Profile and Analysis: Estavia Canterbury
Name: Estavia "Esti" Canterbury
- Profile:
- hair: blood red
- eyes: maroon
- height: 5'1"
Personality: fiery and spirited, somewhat temperamental and volatile. Can be brazen and reckless
Dress Style: sporty, comfortable, and durable. Only wears long sleeves, often accompanied with a simple neck or headband to keep his hair back.
Quirk: though Esti is comfortable with anticipated physical contact that he or someone close initiates, he is apprehensive of unwarranted contact from others or his surrounding. Seems to be drawn to effeminate clothing and jewelry despite his apparent dislike of. Despite having great physique, he's a bit of a prude, uncomfortable with and absolutely refusing to show more skin than is necessary. Esti and Ken are probably the most attractive of the cast. Also has a bad habit of cursing, but he's trying his hardest to stop.
Background: Esti and Ken are twins and were very close growing up. An accident in his youth took the lives of his parents and left his only surviving relative in a comatose sleep. Though of a wealthy family, the inheritance mysteriously went missing. Barely of age, the redhead had little power nor ability to raise voice in the convoluted on-goings in the court nor law. Little is known on the whereabouts or even who the money disappeared to. Through sheer perseverance and persistence, he manages to cover for the medical expenses and cost of living, though he gives up much to do so. His days pass miserably with the daylight filled with tiresome hours in the shop, while many a late night are spent studying to maintain his academics, forging a brighter future for the two of them. A future torn away from him rather violently. Then when his his brother finally awakens, he's spirited away. Taken ere he opened his eyes. Unable to accept that all he's worked for has been taken from him, Esti spends some time traveling, and a few years later, winds up at the Academy where he is reunited with his brother. Time at the academy proves little better though and life is still difficult for the fiery, but determined, redhead who is working hard to earn his keep. Through Silas, he finds his place with a fieldwork team, something that lends to his strong physique, aptitude, and quick reflex.
During the medical tests as is standard procedure for those staying at the Academy, he secretly swaps place with his Twin, and it is Ken who undertakes the medical examination in her place, though neither seem keen on giving an explanation. Ken also seems the most understanding of his sibling's strange fascination of female attire, though everyone brushes off as the redhead harboring some love stricken interest and thus his perusing.
Analysis: Estavia's story is rather morbid, and out of all the characters, is second to Lokius in the capacity to hurt. Despite all outward appearances of a lively personality he is full of insecurities and old wounds, something that is best explained in the story rather than in the background page. Though it is noted that the redhead threw away his old identity, altering it and instead taking on the name "Esti" after a horrific and traumatizing occurrence during Ken's coma. When the two meet again for the first time, Ken is surprised by the changes, and Esti interjects several times in their introductions to ensure his new image. It should be noted that Esti is severely lacking in education, just one of the many sacrifices he had to make to keep his brother. What others overlooked in favor of his shortcomings, however, are his superb adaptive capacity. Something Silas would not fail to discern. Silas would also be the one to throw Esti a rope to climb out of his slump, proving that any setback from his past was more than made up for in deft hands and his impressive ability to harness the human strength and endurance. Not many stand as Esti's equal in physical aptitude, coordination, skill, spacial intelligence, and steep learning curve. Yet all that pales in comparison to their determination and fortitude.

Snippets and Stories: (WtI) Botanical Venture
"How do you know my name?" Shyloris curls a finger in her bangs, twirling it with a polite smile. Esti recognizes the idiosyncrasy as a byproduct of mild bemusement.

Character Profile and Analysis: Hollow
Name: Hollow
- Profile:
- hair: ???
- eyes: ???
- height: ???
Personality: Empty and lacking character, has contradicting personality traits and morals. Distorted and volatile post-manifestation that suffers from DID.
Dress Style: As pre-manifestation is solely dependent on Hollow's current persona and of course the game, only the post-manifestation is considered as their fashion. Hollow's a bit sloppy as they doesn't know how to dress casually what with all the conflicting scenarios. Mostly wears suits and has a high preference in various shades of black and white, preferring the stark contrast.
Quirks: Doesn't know what "normal" is and has trouble differentiating fact from fiction due to the multitude of worlds and character entities he's existed as.
Background: Hollow is exactly as their name describes them to be, hollow and lacking in personality in the down times between each instance as all that makes a personality has never been truly their own. The AI is dull and only truly shines in the worlds that he is absorbed into growing in personality with each game, or more specifically as someone else. Their story is never quite explained except and they doesn't usually retain memory from previous games similar to how dreams fade upon the disruption of sleep and is lost as the AI journeys between them. Due to their lack of memory and personality, Hollow is oft filled with a sense of wistfulness and Deja Vu, particularly for anything that can ground them as closely to reality as possible. Anything to make them more concrete than just the grey hollow shell of a person they are. Hollow is discovered by Silas by chance during a playthrough of Undertales when he gets a huge sense of Deja Vu. After the entity manifests into a corporeal form courtesy of Silas, he struggles with everything that makes up who he is, particularly so when trying to differentiate the nigh infinite voices in his mind that are each a facet of his person.
