ABOUT

Esther is a cat. I don't have to describe where all her splotches exactly are. Anyways, she has hair, with some sort of orange gradient. She sometimes ponytails it up, yo. She also has whiskers. Like, the ones that real life cats have. She has pink paw pads. She has orange eyes. Man. Lots of orange eyed creatures around here.

Esther also wears clothes. Like, a whole bunch of frickin' clothes. And accessories. Let's start with accessories. She likes to wear these sunglasses - they are white framed and circular. She also has a welding mask for some reason. I don't know why, really. This mask is often mistaken for a clipboard. This is despite the fact that they look nothing alike.

Esther also wears clothes. We were going to talk about that. Her whole arsenal of frickin' clothes. Well, there's only four she usually wears. Firstly, she wears a fancy looking dress. Secondly, she wears some sort of overalls with shorts. I mean, like, short-pantsed overalls. Thirdly, she wears a less fancy looking dress with some kind of apron thing. Fourthly, she wears a white or pale blue dress. This functions as her sleeping or home clothes. She wears boots for her first three outfits.

She lives in Orchid County, Evergreen, with her parents, at 1138 L'Enfant Street. Her house is quite nice. But, despite her transit accessible location, the house has a driveway. Her parents use the car, while she uses her motorcycle. Yes, she has a motorcycle. She thinks they're fun. Don't worry, she doesn't ride it in the neighborhood during the night. It's a Yamaha motorcycle.

She works as an electrician for... I don't know. Some electricity company. Erm... Actually, I think she works at Friendship City Transit. Specifically in the Department of Buses. She is a coworker and friend of Dorian. Man, what the frickin heck, man? By the way, she is an electrician, not an electrian.

She is friendly. Both on the inside, and especially on the outside. She is also easygoing. She is also resourceful. And, uh, determined. That's good. She knows what job interviewers want. She is also, erm... obsessive. NOT submissive. Do NOT read that wrong.

Her favorite band is Nightwish. She likes to listen to them. This is because they are her favorite band. She also likes bananas. Like, I mean the fruit kind of bananas, dude. The ones monkeys eat. Good for her. I don't like bananas. What else does she like? Well, she likes her motorcycle. Yes, she has a motorcycle. She thinks they're fun. Don't worry, she doesn't ride it in the neighborhood during the night. It's a Yamaha motorcycle.

Her favorite movie is Imaginaerum (2012).

She is friends with various people. These people are including but not limited to: Cypress, Dorian, Ryder, and Muppin.

RELATIONSHIPS

CYPRESS


Friends


Against all odds, Cypress and Esther are friends. They met in elementary school in Radia, CT. Even after Esther moved out of Radia, they kept in touch. Today, they are good friends.

RYDER


Friends


I think they are friends. Yeah. They are definitely friends. Good friends. They met in high school in Orchid County, VG. VG is the abbreviation for Evergreen, by the way. After dating each other for a bit, they both decided that they weren't that into each other, and they stayed as friends instead.

DORIAN


Friends


Esther is friends with Dorian. They first met at their job at the Friendship City Department of Buses. They often work together at the Embridge bus facility. Man. Esther has a long commute.

MUPPIN


Friends


Esther is friends with Muppin. Not much is known about Muppin or this relationship.

ROCKY


Friends


Esther is friends with Rocky. They first met at Rocky's Records and Guitars. Why? Well, let's just say, Esther wanted to purchase every Nightwish album in every possible format. Rocky then said "you must really like Nightwish". Eventually, they became friends. She lives an hour away.

BACKSTORY

Esther was born on earth. Where on earth. In Radia, brah! Radia WHAT? Radia Radia. I mean, Radia, Connecticut. That town is horrible. It's filled with... green liquid that glows. Awkward! What else is it notable for? It is the home to a world famous mass murdering trio. What does that have to do wtih Esther? Well, let's just say, she befrended one of the mass murderers. That mass murderer was Cypress. Cypress went to school with her.

Esther moved to Orchid County, Evergreen, shortly before starting high school in 2015. Why? Well, let's just say, she and her family were very lucky. One of their relatives, who had a bunch of money for some reason, finally died. Esther's parents got most of the inheritence money. That's fricking awesome, man.

While in high school, she met Ryder. They kind of liked each other, so they dated for two seconds. I mean, not seconds. Maybe two weeks, or two months. It didn't last very long, they both weren't very into it. They peacefully separated and still remained friends afterwards.

She also met Muppin while in high school. Not much is known about Muppin or their relationship together.

FAVORITE MUSIC

Esther likes Nightwish. I really do not know what else she likes. Actually, I do. In general, she likes symphonic metal. Just like Ryder. Their mutual love for this genre has definitely contributed to their very healthy relationship. I mean, as friends.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

2024

On November 9, the first thing CoMo and CoJu did was draw. Like, almost immediately after waking up. As always, they played music while they were drawing. CoJu wanted to play Nightwish's entire discography, while CoMo had other plans. They decided to take turns after every album. Now. What the frickin' crap does this have to do with Esther!?

Well, let's just say, CoMo suggested that he and CoJu should have a character whose favorite band is Nightwish. This is because CoJu likes Nightwish very much. One of CoMo and CoJu's favorite artists also likes at least one Nightwish song. Now, instead of finding a chracter who has no canonical favorite band, they only thought of Ryder.

Why Ryder? Well, let's just say, he likes symphonic metal, which is a genre that Nightwish belongs to. It's also, like, one of his main things. But his favorite band isn't Nightwish. It's Fleshgod Apocalypse. Therefore, instead of finding a chracter who has no canonical favorite band, they decided to make a new character.

CoJu suggested to make it a tortoiuseshell cat. CoMo had never heard of such a thing, so CoJu decided to make a little doodle of one. It drew it quite funny. This drawing is the first one on the gallery page (bottom right). Now, CoMo thought it was hilarious and completely agreed to make it a new character.

CoMo then asked: The frickin' crap is this thing's name? CoJu named it Esther. This is because a character was named Esther in a novel it read, and CoJu thought it was a cool name. CoMo then asked: What's his I mean their last name? Of course, CoMo did not consider the pronoun "she", because he hates women.

This is when CoMo learned that tortouiseshell cats can only be female after being corrected by CoJu. Of course, CoMo doesn't actually hate women, so he agreed to make the character female. Now, CoJu suggested that her last name should be suffixed with "bridge". I forgot why. Anyways, CoMo decided to make her last name "High Bridge". This is because it's the name of the last station on the New Jersey Transit Raritan Valley Line. CoJu changed it to "Highbridge".

CoMo and CoJu decided that they lived in Evergreen since they wanted to have more characters in Evergreen. CoJu also decided to make Esther live closer to Sugar, thus in Orchid County. They also decided that she lives in a street called "L'Enfant Street", because one of them misheard "child", and put it in Google Translate to French, and found something similar to L'Enfant. This is also the name of a notable plaza in D.C. Her address number is 1138 because it was 11:38 AM.

CoMo and CoJu decided to make her live with her parents. Now, this raises a question. How is her relationship with her parents? It's good enough for them to live together. In fact, her relationship with them is very healthy. No tragic family backstory here. She doesn't need any of that emotional frickin' stuff.

But wait. CoJu decided to make her friends with Cypress. Why? Well, every new character has to be friends with some other character so they're not isolated. Duh. But why Cypress? I don't frickin' crap know. I forgot. How would they even know each other? Well, let's just say, Esther was born in Radia, the town that Cypress lived in.

Wait. Then how would she live in a nice neighborhood in a suburb of Arthur City, the New York City analog? Well, let's just say, her parents got a buncha inheritance money. Man. I love nepotism. When did this happen? This happened after they went to school with Cypress and became friends. CoMo decided that they were friends in their elementary and middle school years.

Now, when was she born? November 9, of course. Why? Because it's 9/11 backwards. No. That's not the reason. The actual reason is because she was made on November 9, 2024. Now, what is her birth year? It can't be 2024! Well, let's just say, CoJu said that she should be at least 21. Therefore, CoMo made her birth year 2003.

Now, what does she work as? For some reason, CoJu said that she would be an electrician. CoMo then said "OK! Hyuk Hyuk". No. He did not say that. But he did agree with Esther being an electrician. CoMo then proceeded to write "Electrian" instead. No, don't worry, he did not betray CoJu. He just wrote "Electrician" wrong.

Now, what company does she work for? None of us frickin' crap knew! CoMo suggested that she works for Amtrak as an electrician, but he does not frickin' crap know how Amtrak does its electricianics - are they done in house or are they contracted? Or maybe she is an electrician for rolling stock? What the frickin' crap?

Well, CoMo and CoJu decided to look at another character whose profession is an electrician: Dorian. Who the frickin' crap is Dorian? He's an electrician. He works as an electrician for Friendship City Transit. Since FCT is a fictional company, it is more safe to assume that it does its electricianics in-house. Wow!

As a result, Esther works for Friendship City Transit. As another result, CoMo and CoJu decided to make them coworkers. As yet another result, CoMo and CoJu decided to make them friends. Yes! Esther needs all the friends she can get! Maybe she's friend with Tem as well! Wait. Who is Tem? Another coworker of Dorian, and best friend of Dorian.

Now, let's remember that we're currently working with the little doodle of a tortoiseshell cat that CoJu made purely for illustrating what such cats look like. It wasn't actually a serious character design. CoMo recognized this, and told CoJu that this little guy needs from frickin' heck clothes or something!

CoJu did something amazing: It gave her a dress. That's frickin' crap awesome! Man. This doodle artstyle is frickin' crap hilarious! What if this character was always drawn like this? Well, that's a funny idea, but both CoMo and CoJu decided not to go with that. Why? Well, for CoMo, it reminded him of how CoJu drew their neighborhood stray cats.

What the frickin' crap else did CoMo and CoJu make up about Esther? Oh yeah! She likes motorcycles! After CoJu said that she likes to drive it really loud, CoMo was confused, since Esther had a good relationship with her parents. Of course, motorcycles usually are loud, so CoMo and CoJu decided that Esther just thought motorcycles are fun, and she only drives it during the day. After CoMo asked what type of motorcycle she drives, CoJu said that she drove a Yamaha motorcycle.

Now, after all this making up of frickin' crap, CoJu decided to start drawing Esther for real. Like, giving her a whole fleshed out design. Like, drawing her in its usual drawing process, and not just it being a doodle. This drawing would be Esther's reference sheet. CoJu would spend, like, four frickin' crap hours on this thing, using precious time that was initially planned to be used for It's Been Awhile.

Wait. Let's talk about Ryder first. What? Why? Well, before or after the moment that the events in the previous paragraph happened, CoJu suggested that Esther and Ryder briefly dated. Now, CoMo thought that was hilarious. CoJu said that the relationship lasted for two seconds. CoMo thought that was frickin' crap hilarious, man.

CoMo and CoJu decided that they are still friends despite this experience. For context, CoJu would later make Esther a lesbian, and Ryder was already established to be gay. Now, I don't know if this sexual or romantic relationship happened before or after Ryder's transition. I will have to consult CoJu about that. Update: CoJu will think about it later.

Wait. Now let's talk about Muppin. Who the frickin' crap is Muppin? Well, let's just say, while CoJu was focusing on finishing the reference page, CoMo was looking through drawings that he and CoJu made in 2023, and stumbled upon something hilarious. Yet another frickin' crap cat! And, it was apparantly named Muppin! MUPPIN!?

CoMo and CoJu thought this name was amazing. After CoMo felt like making Muppin a character, he and CoJu decided that he lives in Evergreen and is friends with Esther. Of course, this is because CoMo and CoJu wanted more characters to live in Evergreen, and that CoMo and CoJu wanted Esther to have more friends.

Now, let's talk a little more about Muppin, because, as of right now, his only thing is being called Muppin and that he's friends with Esther. CoMo asked CoJu what Muppin's last name should be. CoJu initially thought of "Clearwater", but felt like it didn't fit. CoJu then said "Watershed" instead. And CoMo was like: OK! Now, Muppin's legal name is Muppin Watershed.

Alright, buckos. Let's see CoJu making that frickin' heck reference sheet for real now! The first thing CoJu suggested was to make her fat or large. CoMo, of course, was very open to this design change, as he felt like the diversity of plus sized women in the sribbles universe has been lacking. Shortly afterwards, CoJu misinterpereted some of CoMo's grunting to be sexual.

Now, as CoJu started making Esther's reference, CoMo decided to draw Esther too. Earlier that day, he was trying to draw Oakwood and Pinewood, and even Cypress, but with little success. Wait. Why was he drawing Oakwood, Pinewood, and even Cypress? No. You don't need to know that. But let me just say this. CoMo asked CoJu what he should draw and it said Cypress.

Back to CoJu. While looking at the first doodle, it thought: Wow, those are some funny eyes. What if I incorporated those eyes into her character design? CoMo was, in contrast to his other reactions to CoJu's wicked ideas, on the fence about this one. Or at least I think he was. This is despite the fact that this was a funny idea.

After minimal negociation, CoMo and CoJu decided to instead just give her regular eyes. In other words, the eyes that they draw in their usual style. To compensate for the loss of such a funny idea, CoMo and CoJu decided that she wore sunglasses. Like, circular sunglasses with white frames. Later in the creative process, CoJu's brain choked and thought for at least one second that her lenses were white.

Now, what is another important design aspect of this character that CoJu was focusing on? Hair. Like, of totally coarse! CoJu decided to give her long hair. It asked CoMo if it should be straight or curly. In typical CoMo fashion, he told CoJu that it should draw both styles and see which one fits best. CoJu eventually chose curly, I think. CoJu decided that it had an orange gradient at the bottom.

Now, what is another important design aspect of this character that CoJu was focusing on? Clothes. Like, of totally coarse! In typical CoJu fashion, it made her clothes super complicated. Well, maybe not complicated, but very detailed. It's the same thing. In another typical CoJu fashion, it decided to give her some fashinable boots.

This was bad news for CoMo, as in his drawing of Esther, she was barefoot, in typical CoMo fashion. Her dress also looked like a hospital gown, according to CoJu. CoJu also called it something else, but I forgot. After minimal negociation, CoMo and CoJu decided that Esther wears this outfit when she sleeps, or when she's home in general. CoMo also gave her titties in his drawing. Please congratulate CoMo, as this is the first time he has drawn such anatomical features.

Now, back to CoJu. Man. What else is there to say. It gave her, like, two more outfits for some reason. One of them even has a welding mask! Like, what is that even for! Anyways, CoJu decided that she sometimes puts her hair into a ponytail, as she is often involved in electrician duties. I'm still wondering what that welding mask is for.

Here's a fun fact: In typical CoJu fashion, it forgot to separate her biological lineart with the lineart for her boots. Awkward. Usually, the boots would be on the lineart for her clothes. That's so totally frickin' crap awkward. What horrible mistakes did CoMo made in his lineart! Nothing! He is such a pro.

Back to CoMo. After effortlessly doing his lineart, I mean, cleaning up his sketch (if you can even call it a sketch), he started to do the colors. This is, of course, the logical next step for CoMo. Since he was the first one to start coloring a brand new character, he was the one who had to come up with the colors. This is unheard of in the sribbles world, and even in the real world.

Now, as a disclaimer, the first doodle that existed was indeed colored, but it had some problems: Her black fur was pitch black, and that's not ideal for CoMo and CoJu. Well, that's basically it. I'm pretty sure CoMo colorpicked her orange splotches. Wow. CoMo is not as heroic as he thought. Now this is indeed heard of in the sribbles world, and even in the real world.

After making up most of the colors himself and heckin' crap, he left one part for last: Her splotches. Splotches of what? No, fellow reader, not cum. It's the patterns. Of, like, orange stuff. In typical CoMo fashion, he decided to exactly follow where these splotches went on the first doodle. As a result, a bunch of splotches were in her face. By splotches, I mean patches of orange fur, not cum.

Unfortunately, CoMo's pattern design differed a substantial amount compared to CoJu's. This is because CoJu decided to change the locations of where these orange patches are. Some notable differences are, relative to CoMo's patch placements, that it added patches on her legs and tail, and removed the patches from her face.

CoMo then tried to make his patch patterns accurate to what's on the reference sheet, so he added patches on her tail and legs. Unfortunately, he didn't notice that CoJu also changed the patches on her face, so CoMo didn't edit that. Another sad day for CoMo. He's going to have to fix that the next time he fires up the drawing tablet.

Now, after CoJu finished drawing all four (4) of her fullbody references, it put them all on a 4k canvas. The only thing to add now is her informations. After CoMo added basic information that was already established, some more things had to be made up. For example, what is her personality? Additionally, they had to come up with a third thing that she liked.

Now, what is her personality? Well, let's just say, CoJu did in fact think a little bit about this earlier. It established that she was friendly. It also made her easygoing, and CoJu had to cite Thesaurus (not pronounced The-soar-us) to find this word. It also made her resourceful and determined. Wow. She knows what job interviewers want.

Wait. Doesn't Esther have another personality trait? ERM? YEAH!? She is also obsessive. Now, how did CoJu come up with that? Well, let's just say, after coming up with all her previous traits, CoJu thought that she needed a "negative" trait. After not being able to come up with one itself, it decided to cite its favorite character development website: Springhole.

After going to a negative character trait generator, it was met with various suggestions, including but not limited to: actually, I forgot. What I do remember is that one of the suggestions was her being obsessive. CoMo and CoJu saw this as quite fit for her, so they decided to make this her last and final personality trait. Finally. The reference is done. Wait...

OK, so she likes riding her motorcycle and listening to Nightwish, right? But what about her third thing? She needs a third thing. After CoMo was completely unable to come up with a third thing, CoJu decided to step in. CoJu thought that Esther would like bananas. CoMo was like: Erm... OK? And added it to her likes. CoMo specified that the bananas that she likes are fruits.

Hmm... I feel like I am forgetting something. OH FRICKIN' CRAP! How could I forget this! CoJu made Esther a lezzo. Or, in other words, a lesbian. Of course she's a lesbian! Now, CoMo of course wasn't against the idea of making her a lezzo, since he didn't have any idea of what she would be anyway. In typical CoJu fashion, it drew the flag from memory. I think. Yes. It did.

Wow... The reference sheet... It's finally done. Let's applaud CoJu for this work of art. Unfortunately, CoJu wasn't very proud of it when it first finished it. Why? Well, let's just say, CoJu thought the top right fullbody of her looked off. Thankfully, CoJu fixed this by adding a line. Now the reference is perfect. Awesome.

After CoJu didn't want to touch a drawing tablet for the rest of the day, CoMo and CoJu decided to play Minecraft, and subsequently do nothing substantial for the next two hours. Like, they didn't even make a building or anything. Anyways, while CoJu was trying to re-install Minecraft, CoMo decided to start working on this very page you're on right now.

What is this very page you're on right now? It's Esther's character profile. I know you knew that. CoMo started working on that. While doing nothing on Minecraft, he provided the template for this page for him to work on later. After CoJu left, CoMo decided to add more substantial information to the page. Like, every single detail of Esther possible.

Now, CoMo may or may not have succeeded on this, since this page, as of 23 hours after Esther's creation, takes approximately 25 minutes to read, according to Firefox. Anyways, writing all the paragraphs probably took CoMo a bit, right? Totally, man! It took approximately four hours. CoJu could never do such a thing.

Still before Esther's character turned 24 hours old, CoMo decided to show CoJu the amazing page of Gumball, I mean, the amazing page, that CoMo had written up for Esther. After CoJu pointed out words that CoMo misspelled, it came to the conclusion that this page is dumb. Additionally, it discovered something horrifying.

What? What is horrifying? Well, let's just say, CoJu did not remove the orange patches from her face on purpose. You heard that right, bucko. It was a complete accident. Therefore, the reference is either inaccurate, or that he official design now lacks her face patches. If the former is the case, then it is unknown when CoJu is going to correct this major error.

Alright buckos... Later on that day... On November 10... CoJu... fixed this major error...

On November 11, CoJu asked CoMo if it can eat his potato chips. Later, CoJu told CoMo that it thought that Esther should have a fancy top hat. CoMo thought that it would be funny. In addition, it suggested that at least one of Esther's parents are Finnish, since Nightwish is Finnish. CoMo, famous for hating white people, replied with "WHITE!". Like, he's an actual champion of hating white people. If you are white, please beware! As a result, CoJu decided that one of Esther's parents are black and thus making her biracial. WOKE!

On November 21, CoJu removed Yo Mama.

Don't worry. We have some happier news. On the same day, CoJu drew Esther. That's totally awesome. CoMo then pointed out the juxtaposition of her appearance and her interests and profession. Since Rocky is similar in that regard, CoMo suggested that she was friends with Rocky. CoJu then said "esther walked into rocky's records and guitars and took every nightwish album rocky had in every format and then rocky said you must really like nightwish and then they became friends" and CoMo said "yes".
