Est

"Ah, you're Prince Marth! I am Est, of the Medonian Whitewings- Palla and Catria's younger sister."

- Est

Est (エスト, Est) is the youngest of the Pegasus Sisters of Medon, under Minerva. Unlike Palla and Catria, she was late to join as she stole Mercurius first. She fell in love with the knight Abel and eventually wins over him, marrying and finally moving to Altea.

She and her sisters also appear in Fire Emblem Gaiden. Est gets captured by Geyse, and her sisters follow the pirate ship to rescue her, but they lost sight of it near Sofia Port. Jesi tryed to save Est, but got captured. After Cellica's party saves Jesi, they went to Geyse's fort, where Geyse was defeated, and Est was rescued.

In Monshō no Nazo, Est was captured by the Archanean forces, to force Abel to fight against Marth. She can be rescued and once again fights alongside Marth. After the war, however, she vanishes after leaving Abel.

Est jump started another trend of Fire Emblem character archetype, as a character who joins rather late in the game and with low initial stats, but should the player give the character enough attention and experience points, the character will turn out very powerful as they have very good growth rates, essentially the reverse of the Jeigan characters.

It should be noted that in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, both of Est's sisters have their growths raised significantly, while Est's growths have stayed the same. This, due to her low starting stats, usually makes her barely superior to Palla and inferior to Catria by end game. She still has a great deal of potential, however, if trained at an arena.

Overall
In Shadow Dragon, she joins extremely late but has nice growths and comes with a ridersbane in a chapter where the enemy is filled with cavalry. Reclassing her to myrmidon or archer are also common choices because she makes an excellent swordmaster or sniper.
