Esther

**Esther** **of** **Ermine** is a sorceress who is the senator of the planet Ermine.

**Appearance**

Senator Esther Erminsky is a tall and slender woman with long silver hair and emerald green eyes. She has small and delicate features and an oriental cut of her eyes. On her slender neck, she constantly wears a green onyx pendant - the leader's talisman. Esther prefers to wear long dresses embroidered with floral ornaments or starry sky paintings. She believes that the drawing of the starry sky brings her good luck and protects her from evil.

**Parents**

Esther's mother was the well-known magician Selina Milgred of Ermine. She successfully studied at the Galactic Academy of Magic and passed on all her knowledge and skills to her daughter. She was also a skilled healer.

Esther's father was President Ermine Grodis Erminsky. He led the planet in those days when it was weakened and lay in ruins after another war with the inhabitants of the planet Todos. He built new cities, paved roads and actively developed the country's economy. But the inhabitants of the planet consider his greatest merit to be a religious reform - the proclamation of the worship of the goddess Hopewin. This reform allowed him to unite the numerous peoples that inhabit Ermin and stop their enmity among themselves. Thanks to this reform, Ermin prospered and its inhabitants were happy for many years.

**Biography**

Esther was born at the beginning of the 28th century on the planet Ermine, which is located in the distant galaxy of the Andromeda Nebula. This is an amazing planet, covered with low mountains and impenetrable jungle. It is inhabited by outlandish animals and abounds with unusual plants. The planet is very much shaken by numerous volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. It was in the year that Esther was born that one of the largest volcanic eruptions in the history of this planet occurred. Volcano Ungar, also called the Sacred Mountain, erupted. After the volcanic eruption, clouds of volcanic ash hung over the planet, which prevented the sun's rays from warming the planet. It was the poet who remembered the year of Esther's birth as "a year without summer."

It was these natural phenomena that left their mark on the appearance of the girl - her hair was silver-ash, and her skin was snow-white, because the sun did not penetrate through the ash clouds.

Natural disasters also affected the character of the girl - she was fearless and was not afraid of anything. She boldly wandered through the dense jungle among palm trees and bamboo thickets, not being afraid of dangerous insects swarming around, or roaming predators. She even climbed to the tops of fig trees and tried to see what was there, beyond the endless jungle!

Esther's family home stood in the center of Ermine's capital, the city of Botamra, which got its name from the fact that it was built at the foot of the now-extinct volcano of the same name. A great variety of intelligent beings lived in this city - people, anunaki, maguses, vanyans, dumars, namingars, gisibs and many others. All these creatures spoke different languages, and Esther knew almost all of them, because she loved to walk around the city and watch the inhabitants and guests of the city.

Esther's family home was like a Moroccan riad. It was square in shape, in the middle of it was a large courtyard with a fountain, adorned with orange trees and date palms. Esther loved to sit in the courtyard in the evenings and watch the stars.

Esther from childhood aspired to fight for justice everywhere and everywhere. She had a lot of friends both on Ermine and on other planets. She did not offend either her friends or other residents of the city. She always rushed to help those who were offended, shared food with the poor. In the house of Esther's parents, charity dinners were often held, at which food was distributed to poor families. In addition, Esther was inquisitive and read a lot of books, watched films about other planets and other galaxies. Most of all, she was attracted by the mysterious planet Earth, which was talked about a lot, but few people have been there. And she had a dream - to see the Earth with her own eyes. She learned everything she could about this planet and decided that after graduating from school she would certainly fly there to study.

Wanting always and in everything to achieve justice and protect everyone, Esther decided that she would be a lawyer. After leaving school, Esther did just that - she flew to study on Earth and entered the law faculty of the University of Leipzig there. There she met a beautiful magus from the planet Dagaltera named Voltaire. He was a tall and slender man with dark hair and dark eyes. Voltaire and Esther immediately fell in love with each other and decided never to part. They got married and after Esther graduated from university, they settled on Ermine. They had two wonderful sons. They named the elder Askold, and the younger - Timur.

Upon returning to Ermine, Esther went to work in the secretariat at the Parliament of the country. Later, she became so interested in politics that she decided to run for Senators of Parliament and won the election. So Esther became a senator.

But suddenly disaster struck. One day, Esther, Voltaire, and their sons, who were 3 and 4 years old, flew to visit Voltaire's parents on Dagaltera. On the way, their ship was attacked by unknown people, they took Esther prisoner, and nothing was known about the fate of Voltaire and the children for ten long years. Later, she learned that she was being held captive by the priests of the god Set, who later seized power on Ermine and captured all the senators and the President. Esther was saved from captivity by the brave Martian Duncan, who died in an unequal struggle with the priests of the god Set and his own father. But Ermine was freed from the power of the priests. Duncan saved not only Esther, but also her children. Unfortunately, no one knew about the fate of Esther Voltaire's husband.
