  WRITTEN DESCRIPTION:
  
  
  Esther possesses an exotic beauty, with large, round eyes, a rich honey hue, flecked with green, beneath thick brows. Long dark brown hair runs to her mid back, framing a round face. She is smaller in stature and thin, with long slender arms and legs, a narrow waist and delicate curves.
  
  
  Her wardrobe is generally conservative and she is comfortable in little more than well worn jeans and a t-shirt.

  STRENGTHS:
  
  

  • A Bent Ear: Esther Tellman is an undeniably impeccable listener, perfectly comfortable with saying little to nothing at all - and a veritable lockbox of secrets.
    
  • A Way with Words: While a good listener, Esther is also gifted in the art of story telling, a master at engaging attention, with very little effort..
    
  • Terribly Clever: Esther is incredibly skilled at manipulation, even if it isn't intentional. Her persuasive nature has, on more than one occasion, dulled a raging flame... and has at least once before saved her life.
    
  • For Such a Time As This: Utilizing the information she was given, Esther has been at least partially responsible for the capture and prosecution of some of Emerald City's most dangerous out-laws.
    

  
  
  FAULTS:
  
  

  • Secrets Are A Dangerous Currency: There are many in Emerald City who would benefit from knowing the secrets Esther keeps... and some who would go to extreme lengths to get her to talk.
    
  • Inherently Independent: Despite being a people person, Esther has very few close friends and next to no family in or outside of Emerald City. She lives in a small apartment by herself, and rarely goes anywhere beyond there and work at the Ticking Clock.
    
  • The Kick of a Mule: Esther is undeniably stubborn and has on more than one occasion gotten herself into trouble over her lack of flexibility.
    

  
  
  
  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  PERSONALITY:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Willful and determined, Esther is a walking fireball. Because of her persuasive nature, there's very little she wants that she doesn't get, but there's also very little she wants that she doesn't already have. Despite her strong will and occasional bullheadedness, she has a good heart and powerful desire to help those in need.
  
  
  Her job as a bartender and her knack for storytelling have made Esther both an accomplished listener, as well as someone worth listening to. Because of her trustworthiness and approachability, she is privy to many secrets around Emerald City...
  
  
  With these secrets, Esther has developed something of a clandestine working relationship with the Law Enforcement of Emerald City - a dangerous, but altogether rewarding operation.

  "If you must love, oh then, love solitude, For solitude alone is true and kind."

  
  
  
  
  Once Upon Time, in a battle between kingdoms, Scheherazade, along with the other young women from her village, were taken by a king as conquest for his son. The prince, accustomed to having his way grew quickly bored with his new potential harem and began having the girls executed as a nightly ritual.
  
  
  Knowing her time would soon come, Schey divised a plan for survival. On the night that she was called before the king, she began to tell him a story. Enraptured by the thrilling tale she spun, the prince listened all night as she spoke, and when the sun dawned that morning and he was called to his duties, he insisted Schey be brought back that evening to continue the story...
  
  
  And continue she did... for well over a thousand nights, Schey told tale after tale, until at long last she exhausted her repertoire and, devastated, informed the prince she could tell no more.
  
  
  It turned out she needn't anyhow. Over the span of those many many nights, the prince had fallen in love with her and, upon hearing her fears, promised he would never bring her harm. His only purpose in life remained to give her everything she required.
  
  
  Knowing she could never love the prince in return for all that he had done to the other women of her village, Schey dared to ask him the one thing she had longed for since her capture. To be allowed to go home to her family... Initially reluctant, but remembering his promise, the prince agreed and Schey was released, but only under the condition that she would return once a year to tell the prince a new story.
  
  
  As time pressed on, she eventually came to Emerald City, where she took up a job as a bartender at the Ticking Clock, building something of a side job around the gathering of information...
