Biography[]
Early History[]
Origins[]
Hester, alongside her brethren of Powers, was created millions of years ago sometime after the Higher Angels. Being a member of the Powers, she established order among the lower ranks, keeping other lower angels in line and order. Hester, along with all the armies of Heaven, battled in the War against the Turok-Hans. She also fought against Lucifer and his forces during his rebellion. When Oracle disappeared, she was among the many searching for him until she gave up.
Personality[]
As one of the fellow members of the Powers in-charge of her own garrison and although the only known female member of the Powers, as well as Camael's second-in-command, Hester is quite the serious soldier, skilled with a very tough and serious nature and will not allow herself a moment to let her mind not be on the mission at hand.
She almost always has her mind on the mission and business currently at hand. When she does have a moment to rest while on the job then, she spends it on meditation to listen to the whispers and chatters of angels to see if everything is going right. Hester is also one of the few that seems to be able to question Camael to his full tolerance.
While she was fully loyal to Michael, Hester nevertheless respected Oracle's capacities greatly and deemed him to be more powerful and skilled than Michael. She is also not blindly loyal and can be wise enough to see that the authority is wrong, as she was the only Power, apart from Camael, to see that Michael has become far more dangerous than Lucifer and is the only one to say so. Ultimately, Hester, after hearing Michael's dark side herself, decides that she should be helping Oracle's angels and was among the first Power to turn over, despite her strong conflict on it, and appealed to Camael by asking if Michael is still reasonable, succeeding ultimately.
Though she seems to have little understanding of humor and a very small tolerance for laziness, Hester does appear to be quite human, for an angel. She also seems to not have any real love or hate for humans but she does respect them when they come to earn it from her. Hester also has a deep loathing for 'heretics' and won't hesitate to run them through with her blade.

As an angel, Hester's true form is hazardous and overwhelming, as with any angel. Being a Power, Hester possesses two, dark red-colored, parrot-like wings.

She wears leather tights with purple lining, long skinny blue jeans with a fashionable belt, and wears grey pump heeled boots. Her dark hair is loose and long past her shoulders.
During a Luma Megare with Annael, Hester wore a black short-sleeved T-shirt with a round neck. Over this, she wore a heavy-duty black jacket with black combat pants over big black Dark Martin boots. She is also seen wearing gloves. Her dark hair is pulled into a ponytail, there are loose strands of hair around her face.
