Estella

Estella (エステラ, Esutera) is a supporting character in Suikoden III. Estella is a mage given to almost compulsive levels of lying.

Biography
"She specializes in magic with her apprentice, Rody. Some find her annoying because she enjoys teasing people."

- Estella's profile

Estella is a magician who claims to be a student of the legendary Crowley. Although her talents are no lie, it is hard to determine anything about her due to her constant lying and teasing of others. She has taken Rody on as her apprentice and gets great joy out of teasing him with her lies and falsehoods.

She would encounter the Fire Bringer at the Alma Kinan Village and would send the group on a wild goose chase looking for an entrance to its all-male counterpart before agreeing to join. Kidd often fell for her lies, believing her bizarre origin story about being born from a rock, travelling to Tenjik and transforming the water imp Rody into a human after they battled.

Following the War of the Champions, she would leave on a journey, apparently to find the 109th Star of Destiny.

Trivia

 * Estella's fanciful backstory as recounted by Kidd is merely the plot of Journey to the West, which is one of China's four great novels, along with the Shui Hu Zhuan, which inspired the Suikoden series.
