Hester

Quote

Hester is a former student of the School for Evil and the School for Girls.

Early Life
Her early life isn't explained much, but her mother was the witch from Hansel and Gretel. She has a drawing of her mother's gingerbread house that she had put on her nightstand at the School for Evil.

School for Evil
Hester had two friends at the school for evil; Anadil and Dot. Together, they were formally known as 'the coven'. Hester was extremely competitive about ranking, so when Sophie had gotten higher rankings than her, Hester did everything to stop her.

School for Girls
Hester and the rest of the coven had eventually made an uneasy friendship with Agatha, mostly because they wanted the School for Girls gone and the school for evil back.

Hester was very rebellious on everything to do with the School for Girls. She learned a spell from Lady Lesso that got her out of wearing the uniforms, she helped Agatha get into the school for boys to get the Storian, and she also managed to destroy some property on the way.

Appearance
Hester has thin, shoulder length, greasy black hair with red streaks, black eyes, and a nose ring. When Sophie first meets her, she is wearing black lipstick. She also has a demon tattoo on her neck, which is her special talent; attacking others with the tattoo.

Personality and Traits
Hester is a fierce and violent witch. She is ambitious and wants to be top of the class. Because of this, Hester disliked Sophie for most of their first year. However, despite her malicious traits, she will do anything for her coven and friends. She won't admit it, but she does have a caring side to her.

Magical Abilities and Skills
Hester can make her demon tattoo come to life. At first, it weakened her to make it come to life, but over the years she gained more control and has more power over it. However, if her demon is injured, she will be weakened. If the wounds are fatal, Hester can die.

Her fingerglow is red, and by pointing her glowing finger at her tattoo, she can make it come to life.

Possessions
She has a framed portrait of her mother's gingerbread house that she drew as a small child.

Relationships
Hester has gained a lot of friendships over the years, including her coven and Agatha, which are the most stable of them all.

In book one, Hester went to the No-Ball dance with Raven, which might lead to assumptions that they had something going on at the time. However, in book six, it is heavily implied that Hester has a romantic interest in Anadil, one of her covenmates.
