[b]Date & Cause of Death:[/b] 2nd May 1903, pushed out of a top-floor window.
[b]Ghost Ability:[/b] She can be faintly seen on analogue and digital cameras.
[b]Appearance:[/b] Hester has black, curly hair that reaches her elbows, but is currently (and permanently now) tied back and up in a sort of bun, and her eyes are dark brown. She stands at 5'6", with a lithe build, and holds herself with quite a formal, rigid posture. She considers herself quite fortunate that there's no outward signs to indicate the cause of her death, and has a dark skin tone.
She is seen wearing a red, floor length dress with black lace details, and black, low-heeled shoes.

[b]Personality:[/b] Hester is a fairly no-nonsense woman. She disapproves of anything improper, and holds her descendants to quite high standards - even though they do not know this. She can be quite critical, but truly does want the best for her family, even if she can sometimes be a little misguided or out of touch with the times, but then she has been dead for over 100 years! She struggles a bit with change as well, and feels quite helpless when things move too quickly and she is unable to do anything about it. Hester is also quite sentimental, and grows sad when she thinks about things that have changed on the grounds from what she used to like to do. She sometimes sits in the now overgrown statue garden, speaking aloud letters she would have liked to have written, reminiscing - quite often to her husband. She does have a kind heart, though, and finds herself particularly protective of the younger ghosts.

[b]Short Bio:[/b] Hester did not have the most typical upbringing. She was raised by Lord and Lady Higham, who had adopted her after they realised they were unable to have their own children, and claimed to be a 'miracle child'. The Highams were very wealthy, and owned Higham House - which would later be renamed Button House - a glorious mansion and estate that Hester absolutely adored living in. While she had learnt the skills of cooking and needlework, she also had an education of literacy and arithmetic.
At 18, she was married to Lord William Button, a slightly older man whose family was almost destitute thanks to William Button's father's gambling habit. Hester's marriage was also one of necessity from her family's side as well, as Lord and Lady Higham were quite keen for there to be an heir. She would have three children with Lord Button by 24, Percival, Catherine and Eleanor.

At 25, the house formally became hers after her father passed away - technically her husband's - and it was renamed to Button House. There, things were not unhappy, but Hester always knew that there wasn't any true romance or love between her and her husband. They were excellent friends, and were careful to keep up appearances while around company, but there was no real spark. This has always been something that Hester wishes she'd had the chance to find. It seems her husband also wished for the same thing for himself.
At 44, around 6am on the 2nd May, Hester had been at an open window, watching the sun rising - something that she liked to do in the warmer months. Hearing someone walking up behind her, Hester turned around and before she could really see who it was, she was roughly shoved out of the window, where she fell to her death.
Since then, at the same time each early morning, she'll 'sleep walk' to the very window and fall out of it again, something that she is unable to control.

She is most grateful that Button House has remained in the family all this time, watching over her descendants as they grow up and live in the house she did, and passing it down time and time again.
To this day she still does not know for certain who pushed her, although deep down part of her wonders if it was her husband. Her husband died off-property only a few years later from an illness, and her grand (or perhaps great-grand) children, Charles and Cecil Button took over Button House.[/hider]
