Respect Estelle Bright (The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky)

[u/MoSBanapple]

This post contains spoilers for Trails in the Sky FC and SC. Also, if I missed any feats from cutscenes, please let me know because both games together are around 100 hours and it's likely that I missed a few things. For this respect thread, I will be pulling feats from the games, the manga adaptation of the first chapter, and the OVA adaptation of the second chapter.

Estelle Bright

Estelle Bright is a 16 year old Bracer living in the Liberl Kingdom. She was born to Cassius Bright, a high-rank member of the Bracer guild, and Rena Bright. During the 100 Days War, Rena was killed protecting Estelle during an attack. A few years later, Cassius adopted Joshua, and he and Estelle became siblings. Once the two turned 16 years old, they registered to become Bracers, working to help and protect the citizens of the Liberl Kingdom.
