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

- Est in Shadow Dragon

Est (エスト, Est) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi, Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, their remakes, and Fire Emblem Gaiden.

According to the Takayashiki Hideo's Mystery of the Emblem novel adaptation, Est is 17 years old. 

In Fire Emblem: Awakening, Est is the first DLC character for the Second Series DLC Pack and was illustrated by Kinu Nishimura.

Profile
Est is the youngest of the Pegasus Sisters of Medon, under Minerva. Unlike Palla and Catria, she was late to join, as she had to steal Mercurius before returning. She fell in love with the knight Abel, and eventually married him and moved 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 Zofia Port. Jesi tried to save Est, but got captured. After Celica's party saves Jesi, they went to Geyse's fort, where Geyse was defeated, and Est was rescued.

In Mystery of the Emblem, Est was captured by the Akaneian 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.

Overall
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 less useful than in the original. However, she still has a great deal of potential, if properly trained at an arena.

Otherwise, 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 has high growths fit for a swordmaster or sniper with that much higher maximum stats for speed and skill which cancels out that lower strength.

Shadow Dragon
Little Sister - Est

"Est fell in love with an Altean knight, and found that the path of the heart was a surer route to happiness than that of the spear."

Gaiden
'' ' I'll definitely come again! Thank you, everyone ' ''
 * (If both Palla and Catria are alive)

No matter where she goes, Est always remains upbeat.


 * (If one or both are dead)

'' ' Big sister(s)... ' ''

Remebering the older sister(s) who had died for her sake, Est wept.

Shin Monshō no Nazo ~Hikari to Kage no Eiyū~
Wayward Knight

"After the war, Est said her goodbyes to Abel, for reasons known only to her and disappeared."

Archetype
Est 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 Jagen characters.

 * Corpul/Sharlow (FE4)
 * Miranda and Sara (FE5)
 * Sophia and Zeiss (FE6)
 * Nino (FE7)
 * Ewan (FE8)
 * Elincia (FE9)
 * Ena (FE9/10)

Etymology
In the French and Italian language, Est means east, as in the cardinal direction. In both French and Latin, Est also means is.
