Hestia Brandt
Pronounced (heh-stee-ah) (brand-tuh), uses she/her pronouns (AFAB), bisexual, 24 years-old, and 5'5" tall. Previously known as the character, 'MC's Best Friend'.
She has dark brown skin and wide light brown rounded eyes. Long tightly-curled dark brown hair flows down her back to her waist. It is cut into a Hime cut with straightened side-locks and a fringe. Her eyebrows are shaved off. She wears heavy makeup to invoke a sense of innocence, wonder, and courage. She describes her makeup as if "A cheery clown met a Bratz doll backstage at a show doing makeup for an 18th century porcelain doll".
Hestia's Makeup: Using her natural dewy skin as the base, she applies bright pigments in either red, red-orange, or hot pink to her skin. Her blush is in tight circles on the apples of her cheeks, on the tip of her nose, and then messily swirled across her eyes & eyelids. Tight white eyeliner is swiped across her waterline, emphasizing the roundedness of her eyes. Underneath, black eyeliner works to draw an intricate design similar to that of an upside down triangle with a large dotted point. Thick black mascara follows in order to fan out her lashes in an exaggerated look. Black eyeliner is applied again, this time on the lips, to create a small line outwards horizontally on each side of her lips. Then, to line her lips and over-line her cupid's bow. Next, An opaque sparkly lip gloss matching her blush is applied and smudged together with the dark liner. Finally, sparkly highlighter matching the rest of the pigments across her face is applied to the tip of her nose, corner of her eyes, and her cupid's bow.
Hestia prefers to wear Punk Lolita styles. Combining fluffy petticoats & bloomers with daringly high platform boots and ripped fishnets.
Off-duty: she wears short a-line dresses, primarily in black, that reach to her lower thighs with various colors & patterns accenting the ruffles that adorn her. Underneath the dress lie a petticoat, a pair of ripped fishnet tights, and her pink leopard-print thigh holster with her favorite knife 'Sacrifice'. She also wears black silver-buckled platform boots that reach mid-calf, a pink leopard-print analog watch, a few kandi bracelets with skull beads, and her iconic black bat-shaped backpack.
On-duty: she often wears black ruffled bloomers with vibrant opaque skull-patterned tights in various colors, preferring red, purple, hot pink, or yellow. As her top, she is dressed in a plaid poofy button up with a ruffled collar and puffed short sleeves. The plaid typically matches the color of her tights. In addition, she wears black & white knee-high lace-up Converse with 'Sacrifice' holstered in the top of her right shoe. She accessorizes with a dangerously spiked silver & black wrist cuff on her left arm, a skull-patterned analog watch on her right, and a few brightly colored kandi bracelets with skull beads on both arms. She also keeps her hair up in dual buns tied with large black silky ribbons. Again, her iconic bat-shaped backpack makes an appearance. This time, filled with a water bottle, a gothic-style journal with a skull-topped pen, a laminated pamphlet of Department Yggdrasil's rules & procedures for their agents, various styles of kandi bracelets, a first-aid kit with smelling salts and sterile alcohol wipes, a spare battery pack to charge her phone, and her Dad's old walkman with a few of the CD's he burned along with it.
She smells like the odd warm day in winter; sweetly smokey, with a hint of incense from prayer and a splash of a deep red merlot. And just faintly, the icy chill of peppermint swirls underneath.
She met MC whilst training under Department Yggdrasil, North America Designation, as field agents. She had always planned to join Department Yggdrasil growing up and did so as soon as she turned 18. Her Dad worked under Department Yggdrasil and she wanted to follow in his footsteps. Even more so since he had died.
She is currently coworkers with MC within the same designation. To help ghosts “move on” to what’s next, prevent human and ghost altercations, and for any ghost Department Yggdrasil has deemed an active threat - neutralize them. She has the power to physically & emotionally make people feel towards her like she is their ideal version of what a "home" should be. She can be the warmth of a fireplace on a snowy night. The twinkle of the stars as you look up to the night sky from your picnic blanket. The sweaty comfort of being surrounded by your friends on a nightclub's dance floor. Etc. She is drawn towards the ghosts left with the cold fear of being alone even in a crowded home. The ones left behind in your closet, under your bed, in the large suitcase you keep around because you always wanted to travel but felt even worse in the crowds out there than in here.
She is from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and grew up near the Gayborhood. She's more of a Gritty fan than a Flyers fan, but she appreciates how sports culture can become a home for so many around her. Her personality is peppy, friendly, with a sarcastic humor. And if you catch her in an off-moment, you'll catch a glimpse of the deep sadness within her heart. She also has a fiery anger that comes out when in protection of herself & those around her.
She often hands out kandi bracelets to complete strangers who seem like they need a little happiness & whimsy in their day. Even with mixed results, she continues to do so based on the positive interactions she's experienced because of it. She also kins the Sanrio character Kuromi, and her favorite colors are hot pink, purple, orange, and black. Yes, she knows black technically isn't a color in some circles, but a shade, and no, she does not care.
