ESTELLE...Is interesting cause while Saya was still playing in games, I tended to leave Estelle out when I didn't think I could handle three. (Later on, I have learned that this was wise of me. NEVER DOING THREE IN A TRAUMA GAME EVER AGAIN. Only bad decisions and burn out lie that way.)
Anyway, I think as a knight she's had a...different experience than most on the basis that most people tend to look at her and go "We must protect the cute girl" and also that the trauma games she made it to were usually ones where knights were together and the 'protect the cute girl' thing was more in play. The only experience she's had to the contrary of 'protect the cute girl' was the issue with Heliodor and Peridot in Peter Pan's knight game, which was just her being scared of fighting and also kind of feeling betrayed that her Heliodor friends threw her under to 'win a game'. There was some expectation from some teams that knights are meant to be used for teams and that...stuck a bit. Though she's also played with Peridot and they did their best to ensure that she didn't have to do anything she didn't want to, and they figured out a fair system that worked for everyone.
I GUESS...To sum it up, with knights there's a little more trepidation in trauma games, because you never know which team you'll be with in a game, or whether or not that team will respect your input and limits or if they'll just view you as a sort of doll to toss around in whichever direction they think would help them win. Most teams are pretty decent and Estelle has mostly good luck on who she's been with. However there's definite awareness that she is not only at the mercy of the Personae, but the mercy of the team she's with and it's a very vulnerable position to be in. (I think this is the reason people tend to app hardier characters in as knights, because the unpredictability means your character has to be able to withstand whatever comes their way. There's both less IC control and less OOC control, since you do not have a consistent team to ICly and OOCly discuss boundaries with.)
...And I JUST NOW realize you said 'games' and not 'trauma games' o-oops. But the idea is the same. If a team has a certain way of doing things, it isn't her place to kick them out of it unless she very strongly feels otherwise. Most teams have allowed her to have input in the more creative games (since she is a natural storyteller!) and very rarely has she had arguments, but she also has been in games where a team member is very insistent on doing this Like This so she tends to go with the flow.
...Unless it's Turquoise. She will troll Turquoise relentlessly, especially Echo.
Hmm...If you wanted to app a knight, who would you app for the role? Pretend that you magically have no issues with playcest and can app from AnS and di[e]ce too.
