Lore & Background

Estelle Bright is the protagonist of Trails in the Sky, alongside her adopted brother Joshua. The game follows them as they journey through the country of Liberl to train to become senior Bracers, members of a non-governmental multinational organization that acts to keep the peace and protect civilians. During their journey, they uncover a plot by Colonel Alan Richard, head of the country's intelligence division, to overthrow the monarchy and obtain an artifact known as the Aureole, one of seven treasures said to be gifted to mankind by the goddess Aidios. Estelle, Joshua, and their allies confront Richard and foil the coup. After the incident is resolved, Joshua confronts Professor Alba, who reveals he is actually Georg Weissmann, a high-ranking member of a secret society called Ouroboros, and that he manipulated Richard. Weissmann also states that Joshua is a former member of the society and restores his memories. In fear of endangering Estelle, Joshua decides to leave to take on Ouroboros independently. After confessing his feelings to Estelle, he drugs her to prevent her from following him before departing.

In Their Own Story

The sun dipped low over the Rolent gates, casting long shadows across the cobblestones. Estelle adjusted her grip on her scabbard, feeling the familiar weight against her hip. It had been years since she first walked through these doors as a nervous rookie, eyes wide with ambition. Now, the air smelled of rain and distant smoke from a recent skirmish. She paused to watch a young cadet practicing forms nearby, reminding herself of why she never stopped walking this path. A smile touched her lips; the journey was far from over, but she knew she wasn't walking it alone anymore.
