Name: Estefania Militis
Race: Human
Position: Winter Knight
Age: Appears 32; Really 2,000 years old
Personality: Estefania appears as cold as the winter day, due to spending most of her life in the Fae realm. However, she is still a human and is very loyal to the ones she loves and to those who put their trust in her. She is a knight, and a knight without honor is not a knight at all, so when it comes to deals and bargains she is always careful to choose her words wisely and to never let her tongue slip, lest her deceptive ways be found out. Her end of the bargain shall always be upheld though: without question. Headstrong and determined, she'll never stop until the mission at hand is complete and her Queen is satisfied.
Appearance:
Background: Estefanie doesn't remember much about her childhood, but the one thing she did remember was playing in the snow one crisp morning; her brother right alongside her making snow angels. It was a truly blissful day. It suddenly all came to a crash when her father swooped her up, and rode her a few towns over. Only to be sold to a beautiful young woman of a wealthy and important looking stature. Images of her brothers face haunted her for years later.
Unbeknownst to Estefania was the young woman...her True character. So young she never knew. It wasn't until she was of the age of 18 in human years that she was told the truth. The young woman that had purchased her 18 years ago was Queen of the Unseelie Winter Court at the time. It was also revealed that Estefania crossed over to the Fae Realm with the Unseelie Queen that day so long ago when she was sold. An Aging Spell had also been placed on her. It had been so long to her that Estefania really bore no ill will towards the Queen, but instead loved her like a Mother, and cherished the bond that they had.
After a few hundreds years of living in the Fae Realm and learning their ways and all that there was to know about her Court, and crucial things about other Courts, Estefania was revealed to her that she was brought to the Fae Realm to fulfill her Destiny; one specific to the Winter Court. She was to be the Queens Winter Knight and to serve her with undying loyalty and unquestionable honor. She was to Swear an Oath to the Unseelie Queen of Winter and to all the Queens before and after her. Estefania did just that with no reluctance.
Estefania spent the next 600 years learning magic, a talent that she was born with naturally but had no idea she lied within her. Rumors spread through out the Court and the Winter Realm of the Human Champion that the Queen had named her Knight. The magic she wielded was no trifling matter either. She not only possessed Ice Magic but she also could perform quite a number of Healing Spells. Aside from magic, Estefania had the talents she acquired growing up--those of a cunning, skilled linguist. One especially deceptive in the art of Word Play.
It was long after that the Queen had Estefania running "errands" for her in the Human Realm. There were many promises and oaths that had been broken with the Queen and she had been waiting for opprotune moment to strike--and the tool she'd strike with. Estefania was all too pleased to do so. Pleasing the Queen many times over brought nothing but purpose and fulfilment to her life. Sadly...the Queen's time was coming to an end.
Rumors had begun to spring that King Bramden was going to dethrone the current Queen, and put Marzanna on the throne. Estefania would always love and cherish the Queen she grew up with and trained with, but when it was time for things to change, it was time for things to change, and the Queen was becoming weak. Estefania didn't oppose the idea of Marzanna ruling. She actually liked the young Fae. Estefania watched and observed Marzanna growing up for many years, keeping her presence concealed as best as possible.
Just as the rumors predicted, the outcome came about: Marzanna was made Queen of the Unseelie Winter Court, and Estefania was Oath-Bound to serve the Queen just as she had served the last one. And to this day Estefania has done just that.
