Okay, hi. This is my last character for a while, all right. (Definitely.) ANYWAY! This is Esther Shaw, who moonlights as Essek Thelyss from Critical Role. She's not yet in town, but has been texting her brother so I figured an introduction is necessary.
- Esther is originally from St. Louis, Missouri! She is the younger sister to Gabriel Shaw. Their dad took off when she was seven, so they were raised by their mother. She is of the impression that her dad is #thefuckingworst and her mom and brother are #theabsolutebest. Her mom and brother are her best friends and basically everything to her.
- She attended Northwestern University for her undergrad and graduate degrees. She has a BA in Creative Writing and an MA in Literature. She decided to stay in Illinois after finishing her education and currently lives in a nice flat in Chicago; this will be changing very soon.
- She has been having Dunhaven Dreams from a very young age, despite that she will not have stepped foot in Dunhaven until tomorrow (11/12). When she was a kid, she would spend breakfasts telling her mom and brother stories from her dreams. Her mom just figured she had an overactive imagination and encouraged her to write her stories down, thus inspiring a love of writing and reading in Esther. She has had several books published, but is most well known for her most recent series called The Darunia Dynasty, a fantasy series. It is planned to be five books and the third was released in October. That series has made her a NYT best-selling author and it's extremely popular, so it's up to you if your characters have read it. It's loosely based on her dreams, but not enough that it would actually be able to be compared to Critical Role. She just took inspiration from it.
- She's pretty engaging with fans on social media. Her Facebook is private, but she has a public Instagram and Twitter that she uses for AMAs, just chatting with fans, sharing quotes/fanart/cosplay/etc. Though I'm not making a sample of her Twitter, you can see her Instagram here for an idea of what it's like.
- She is pretty gosh darn single and isn't too worried about it right now. But, she does have two cats named Arwen and Galadriel.
- She is an occasional Lyft driver. She uses it as a way to observe people and get character inspiration in a more personal way than just people watching in a park.
- She is a total Hufflepuff. Very much a Mom Friend, too. Quick witted, always has a snappy comeback. Good at multi-tasking. Introverted, but does know how and like to people. Rewards loyalty and generosity with her own to a high degree. Doesn't open up too easily at first. Grudge holder. Major book dragon. Sunburns really easy. Allergic to Tinder. More here!
So anyway! She is going to be brand new to town, so I know that the people she will know personally will be limited. However, she's pretty friendly and can be social when she wants to, so I'd love for her to make friends and connections. She won't shy away from people that recognize her, if they make that known, and will probably be spending a lot of time at the library and local coffee shops. I also would love old connections too, if we can think of ways people might have crossed paths with her; her hometown, college, Chicago, just from traveling around? Let's see what we can figure out. <3
