Stanley 725

"That miserable neighborhood over in those hills always intrigues me. But those folks are always in their own world. They seem happy. Happy with nothing, so I’ll let them slide off."

- The Gondolier

Esther is a character created by spincontroller for JUNKORGAN's PERSOLIUS: Project (TBA), the third and final story of the PERSOLIUS trilogy. The first Wanderer encountered in Chapter 4, she serves as both a personification of the 1916 Stanley Model 725 Touring Car and a minor antagonist of the Scraplands.

Appearance
Spending her days isolated in her manor, Esther is a very pale individual.

No matter what outfit Esther wears, she is never seen without her oversized dark navy hat and tinted sunglasses, which cast a shadow across her face. She mainly wears her blue coat, which resembles plastic of sorts, and a dark navy blue skirt. Being quite a fashionable woman, she also wears a gray choker, earrings, dark navy gloves, and a dark gray scarf; the gloves and scarf are most likely to help her with her sensitivity to light. She also sports a pair of heeled roller boots, which aid in her navigation of her manor, particularly the catacombs. The wheels on her boots are removable, and she actually spends most of her time without them. In addition to her default outfit, she also has a regular black coat with golden buttons.

Personality
Though her property is a huge mess and she spends most of her time watching her neighborhood from the second floor window of her manor, Esther is a very egoistic, yet lonely individual. Unlike most of the other Wanderers, who spend their time isolated from the rest of the world, Esther chooses to isolate herself from the rest of their already-isolated world. She hardly ever leaves her manor, and at most, only walks a few feet into her front lawn, which is overgrown and littered with bizarre statues resembling hood ornaments. It is unclear how long Esther has spent isolated in her manor, however, it is known that she has spent long enough to develop vitamin d-deficiency and sensitivity to bright lights and loud noises.

Esther is wealthy, and spends her days surrounded by heirlooms and relics of the past. She is no stranger to calling others "peasants", and viewing herself as the higher one of the Wanderers. She always finds new ways to amuse herself, wether it be by arranging her collections, painting, or looking outside of the window. However, she does not approve of newer technology and is very stubborn about introducing herself to new ideas. Unfortunately, it seems that her substitution of actual human contact with inanimate objects has taken a toll on her. She is more of a (literal) watcher than a doer, and to simply describe her as a "people spier" would be an understatement. Esther clearly enjoys stalking others, as judged by her constant presence at the window, observation notes, and paintings.

Her isolation is clearly self-imposed, and she always credits it to her grudge for society; however, it is likely that she was at one point, was outcasted by the other Wanderers, thus creating her hatred for the outside world. Esther's lack of social interaction, combined with her heavy ego, has left her sort of deteriorating in her own manor, left to her own mind. A skilled artist, majority of the walls in her manor are covered in various paintings depicting her viewpoint of the world. Bizarre and disturbing, her paintings are often confusing and nonsensical, but it always speaks volumes about her personality and the world trapped behind the manor walls.
