[color=F3FA0B]Personality Traits[/color]
[indent]They say someone in Hester's profession eventually becomes cynical but to her credit it has yet to hit her. Sure, she's seen a lot of bad in her small corner of the world, but she still believes, perhaps naively so, that people are ultimately good at heart. Though she believes in the good of others, she's hardly one who practices what she believes. In her career she was honest to a fault which made her [i]good[/i] at what she did but prevented her from advancing anywhere close to where she wanted to be. Despite her relationship status, Hester isn't married to the job; she's not married at all despite her secret romantic pursuits. Hester is someone who enjoys going to singles events at a bar or using dating apps despite the string of bad luck that's been her experience. Back home, she has something of a positive reputation in the community for her honesty and open-book approach and appearance at local events. Of course, even the most sterling of reputations only needs one bad mark for everyone to turn on you, as Hester well knows. She might be honest, one of the few honest ones out there, but she's not perfect and she's got her secrets. [/indent]

[color=F3FA0B]Biography[/color]
[indent]Hester Benoit was born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana to a government worker father and a museum curator mother. The oldest of two children, the Benoit family never quite recovered after Hester's younger brother was tragically killed in an incident. The official police report marked it as 'accident' but that's the official story when an innocent kid gets a bullet in crossfire. Her parents grieved but the marriage became strained and Hester was the glue that kept her parents from divorcing. The death of her younger brother chnged Hester's life: She decided to become a police officer with the then-idea of ensuring that no one else should have to go through what her family did. 

Hester had grand plans to make detective or even perhaps advance to the federal level, but she started in evidence and community outreach before finally getting a partner and a beat of her own. Things were good for Hester, a solid arrest record, a decent conviction rate, but her own amber-colored demon reared its ugly head one unfortunate night. She was responding to a domestic disturbance call. The way she told it to the internal affairs people was that she was drawn on first but the papers and the news only saw one thing: 'BATON ROUGE COP UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR UNJUST LETHAL FORCE'. 

Her superior had to take her gun and badge while the investigation was ongoing. He told Hester to lay low, that she did it by the book, take time off. She took it literally and wanted to get as far away from Baton Rouge as she could. National media attention meant it was best to go international to escape it. It wasn't much of a vacation but the booze probably tasted better outside the country. A connecting flight on the west coast was the cheapest option even if she had no appreciation for that part of the country. Still, with the weight of her actions being her carry-on baggage, Hester boarded the plane. [/indent]

Hester's drink of choice is bourbon.

She speaks with a slight cajun accent.

Her favorite song is [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc-Xc-CFAiY]Stella Was a Diver and She Was Always Down[/url][/indent][/hider]
