Mornings in the Astryd residence are usually pretty quiet when Desmond isn't around. Claire is a bit lazy in the mornings, and Sasha always passed out in her lab from working late; only Estela, the lovely stone maiden, could be seen walking around the house.
Her short metallic black hair, torso like white jade, and an obsidian-black skirt seemed to absorb the light around her needle-like legs and circular face; Estela had a beautiful and cartoonish appearance.
As a creature born to serve, Estela was incredibly adept at whatever task she was given, as long as she was to help the entity that gave her life; the maiden of jade and steel was always helpful.
Estela's life cycles were far from the ordinary as a singular life form fundamentally different from human beings. She did not sleep or need to eat; Estela only needed to absorb the mana around her to stay functional and only needed brief periods of latency to keep her mind fresh.
