Talk:LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow Spin-Off - Firenza Junior - Nio/@comment-24758512-20180331034926/@comment-5032898-20180331045314

Perhaps, Esther is so far the most jerkish character in the story beside Carl, but I actually changed her later parts in the story to make her later change of heart seemed more natural. In the old script, instead of showing remorse like that in new script, she became an outright jerk who used Firenza Junior to poison Abel. In the old script, it was actually her who buried Abel and Abel had to save Esther with the Water of Life. However, their characters reversed and the later story would show more inner depth of Esther and Abel when Abel transformed into a violent and feral vampire, revealing his inner sorrow and hatred to human that killed his parents, while Esther was the one trying to save him. Her former Kick the Dog moment was taken by Nio, but was out of manipulation instead of out of pure spite.

Esther started as a persistant puppet and clinged on her past, just like Carl before. I have the same view on Esther though I was actually surprised at how much hatred inside all of us towards her character. In spite of this, her story has just begun and she will play a major role in the Star of Bethlehem battle and the Operation Grand Grimoire.

In this spinoff, Carl, Esther and Izzard (after the Dome was activated, he'll become a traitor due to his opportunistic nature) all starts as jerks, but they'll eventually undergo a heel realization. This is in fact what this spinoff is about, so I don't blame you for hating Esther. She's also one of those who will undergo a character development and receives her redemption, and understanding Carl's feelings is the very first step for her later atonement.

Thanks again, bro! XD
