🌝Estelle🌝

☾ She/Her ✩ Gila monster ✩ Fortune teller ☽

**Estelle** (also known as “Elle” among friends) is an anthropomorphic cis female Gila monster who was granted magical abilities by an unknown supernatural force when she was just a hatchling. She uses said mystical abilities to make a living, running a fortune telling parlor in her underground home and using her mirage-abilities to put on a show for her clients. Because of her pinpoint accuracy, Estelle is highly renowned and folks come from all over to have their fortunes told by her and be amazed at her ability to make the future appear right in front of their eyes. She lives in the Chihuahan desert in Mexico and only works at night, when her powers are at their strongest.

Estelle is an aroace lesbian and is in a queer-platonic relationship with a jobra named Silica, who runs their business alongside hers and hangs out with her behind-the-scenes.

☾ Appearance ☽

☾ Personality ☽

Being a Gila monster, Estelle is naturally a little sluggish, especially during the day because of her powers weakening in sunlight. She rarely gets much work done when the sun’s out and can be found either lazing around or sleeping. However, do not let that fool you, as at night she becomes fairly active and progressive, although she still has that same “slow and steady” energy as her relatives. She prefers to get things done at a steady pace, doing everything at her own speed and not at others, very much having the “nobody is the boss of you but yourself” mentality. Rushing through tasks and trying to keep up with the fast-paced lives of other animals simply isn’t Estelle’s style, as she believes all creatures need to look at life through a tortoise’s eyes sometimes or else life itself will go by too fast.

It’s beliefs like those that give her an aura of wisdom. Despite having an appearance akin to a stoned hippie wannabe who’ll spout out generic comments about world peace and friendship, one can tell just by the way she carries herself that Estelle has some genuine insight and intelligence. She learned how to overcome the troubles from her youth, finding sensible solutions to keep them from taking over her life again that she still uses to this day. She gained this wisdom by learning how to think with her mind and not let her feelings overcome her in hard situations, as she knows that letting her negative emotions get out of control can have catastrophic results, especially for empowered beasts like her. She has to keep herself calm and collected for the sake of both her mentality and everyone else surrounding her.

However, her heart can sometimes overpower her mind.

Like all animals, Estelle isn’t perfect, and her imperfections come as snarky comments and overly defensive reactions. Sometimes she will make a snide comment towards customers who have angered her by being impolite, rude, or otherwise annoying. While these remarks have never strayed into violent or overly-hostile territory, she has lost a few customers to them, although she doesn’t seem to mind. Customers who tease or even simply disagree with her beliefs are often also met with a remark. Estelle can be extremely defensive with her personal beliefs because of the strong impact they have on her, although she is trying to be more accepting of other’s views (unless they actively harass her for them).

However, while she feels little to no remorse when snapping at a rude customer, believing that they deserve to be set in their place, she holds no grudges. To her, grudges are meaningless and take up too much energy. Despite her small “outbursts”, she forgets and forgives fairly quickly and would happily welcome back the offender into her parlor if they’ve had a change of heart. She is very no nonsense though, and if the offender comes back and hasn’t changed from when she first saw them, she won’t hesitate to ban them. Over the years, she has learned that giving too many chances to bad customers can seriously mess you up and that sometimes it’s best to put your foot down and kick them out for good. Estelle only holds grudges towards these types of animals and towards ones who have seriously harmed her or her friends and family. Luckily, these kinds of folks are few and far between.
