Eldest daughter (of seven) of famous Porthaven-based merchant Erasmus Winfield and heir apparent to the Winfield and Sons Emporium, Estelle has spent the vast majority of her life learning the merchant’s trade and preparing herself to take over the Winfield and Sons Emporium, despite being neither a Son, nor technically even a Winfield at this point.

In recent years as Erasmus prepares to retire, Estelle has done the lion’s share of managing the Emporium and a staff consisting largely of her seven younger sisters and elder daughter. Leadership and responsibility come naturally to Estelle thanks to extensive experience as an eldest sister and mother.

Though her decision to marry a notorious pirate bewildered many of her friends, her marriage to Dorian Darkstone has proven happy and loving and has given them two daughters, Kat and Dunstana. Despite her obligations running the Emporium, Estelle always prioritises her family and home life.

Outwardly calm and dignified, Estelle will occasional allow her businesslike facade to slip, revealing her inward sense of humour and adventure.

Similarly, she is fiercely protective of her loved ones and will respond to any threats with a ferocity comparable to that of a mother bear with swords for hands and other, smaller swords for fingers, and a repertoire of dirty tactics learned from her husband and his piratical associates.
