Estariel was the second child of [[Remy III|King Remy III]]. Being the older of the two, [[Iris Mojito|Iris]] was the one who would take over after their father, though Estariel was still trained in some of the royal duties so she could take over just in case - although she would only do so if Iris and any future spouse was unavailable. She didn't spend as long in these studies, so instead she studied ''[[Nanmaika|nanmaika]]'' - a martial art of [[Rokasela]] that combines expert swatch use with precise movement. Iris spent more time practicing diplomacy and decision-making, but given that one of the great royal family treasures was the [[Ruviyatang]], one of the three sacred treasures of Spectradom, he was still taught how to use it.

During the above, Estariel became good friends with [[Kalia Paloma|Kalia]], a young kanva from another noble house of Quill. Kalia and Estariel became friendly rivals.

Once Iris turned 20, the former king and queen gave him the reins. Unfortunately, Iris and Estariel had, and still have, quite different opinions on how things should work, causing conflict between the two of them. Iris is a rather pragmatic type, while Estariel is swayed more by emotional appeal. This became more severe as the [[Fennril|Fennrilian Federation]] rose in power, worrying the young monarch - which drove him to be more stubborn. A clear example of their differences comes in the handling of a famine one fall - a drought caused the Quill Kingdom's rice farms to go dry, dramatically lessening production. The city-state of [[Svartalf]] made a generous trade offer to help them out - which Estariel wished to accept - but [[Diamantine|Mayor Diamantine]], the leader of the city, was suspected of providing monetary aid to Fennril, so Iris refused. Estariel, however, lied to the palace's treasurer and told her to accept the deal, which royally pissed off her brother. The two fought, but despite her training, the [[Magic Points (Drawn to AfterLife)|mana]] provided by the brush was too much to bear, and Iris knocked her out, and, before kicking her out of the castle, he sealed her mana using the brush's soul-manipulating abilities, preventing her from using typical [[swatch]]es - only so-called [[Void Arts]], which are much harder to control.
