Est

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

- Est in Shadow Dragon

Est (エスト Esuto) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, Fire Emblem Gaiden, Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, and their remakes. She is 16 years old in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.

In Takayashiki Hideo's unofficial 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 Macedon under Minerva's command. Unlike Palla and Catria, she joins late in the game, as she decided to steal Mercurius before returning. She falls in love with the knight Abel, and eventually marries him and moves to Altea.

She and her sisters also appear in Fire Emblem Gaiden. Est gets captured by Grieth, and her sisters follow the pirate ship to rescue her, but they lose sight of it near Zofia Port. Jesse tries to save Est, but gets captured. After Celica's party rescues Jesse, they travel to Grieth's fort, defeat Grieth, and save Est. After the war, she returns to Archanea with her sisters, but promises to come back some day.

In Mystery of the Emblem, Est is captured by the Archanean army to force Abel to fight against Marth. She can be rescued and once again fight alongside Marth's army. After the war, she leaves Abel and vanishes, leading him to disappear in search of her.

Personality
As the youngest of the three Whitewing sisters from Archanea, Est is pure and innocent and often gets told off by her sisters. She is cheerful and chatty with a straight-forward personality.

Overall
Est, and her sisters Palla and Catria, are all Pegasus Knights recruited in Celica's route. When considering all of the Pegasus Knights in Gaiden, Est and Catria are both strong all rounders whose balance between Speed and Strength usually makes them the most offensively potent. Palla is strong and durable but slow for a Pegasus Knight, and Clair is very agile but fragile.

In Gaiden, Est is the most statistically impressive of the Pegasus Knight sisters, having the single highest growth rates in the game and by quite a lot at that. She will start out much weaker than her sisters if you leveled them at all, and will require some babysitting until she gains half a dozen levels. However, if you do choose to level her, she will easily become the most powerful of her sisters, beating them both in all stats except for HP. Catria and Est will usually wind up even in stats or separated by 1 or 2 points in almost everything. The only stat that really separates the two is Defense, which Est will have a lot more of.

The two big problems with Est are her late recruitment and low level. If you want to put in the effort of bringing her up to speed, she will not disappoint. Not only is she the most powerful among her sisters in terms of pure stats, but she is among the most powerful in the entire game. However, Catria is nearly as good as her and is available for almost the entire game. And while Palla is statistically inferior, she brings flying utility in the chapter where it matters most on top of boasting superior proportional bases. So while Est is clearly the strongest sister, Catria and Palla are both more useful.

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.
