Estella is a playable 4-star Cryo Guard operator in Arknights: Endfield.
Introduction
“Hngh... Feels like the weight of the entire world has come down at me ... my knees, especially...”
A member of Operations Team Z7 in Endfield, Estella handles intel gathering and communications. Physically weak, and shadowed by misfortune wherever she goes, she sometimes lets her sharp tongue and dark humor push outsiders away. Her dream is simple: to live a peaceful life. After all, she has seen too many people like herself, trapped in a world with no choices, no change, and no future.
A life of danger and extremes has numbed her senses to the world and raised her threshold for stimulation. As a result, she sometimes seeks out harsher forms of challenge — like the pounding rush of heavy metal music. Those rare jolts give her a fleeting sense of change and something real.
Through her work in Endfield, Estella hopes to make the world a little better and life a little easier for those around her.
“I overworked myself again... Hngh... I better appreciate the break while it lasts.”

Wow... A weapon of ultimate power... Hnnngghh... It's so heavy...

The Arsenal engineers obviously overestimated my combat endurance... Hurrrr... Whatever.

Oh, so getting better means less work? Yay...
Watching Combat Records
Brain's upgraded, body's leveled up ... but zero progress for stamina. Welp, guess I'm doomed.
Operator Promotion 1
This promotion is most unexpected... I thought it would take way, way ... way longer than this...
Operator Promotion 2
Turned out the results of my work exceeded my expectations... Endmin... I need a two-day leave to give myself some TLC...
Operator Promotion 3
Why do I keep getting promoted...? Am I an experiment for new management strategies? I should try and figure this out...
Operator Promotion 4
Ooooh! Does this mean I get to order Akekuri around? Heh heh... Time to try things out.
Operator Reporting for Duty
Why do I have to do this again...? Greetings... Endministrator. I'm Estella. And please don't give me physically-intensive assignments. Thank you.
Standing by 1
Haah ... still breathing. For now, I just wanna do absolutely nothing...
Standing by 2
I overworked myself again... Hngh... I better appreciate the break while it lasts.
Assigning to Facility
A new assignment? I'm looking forward to it... I really am. Honest.
Greeting 1
Endmin... How goes your break?
Greeting 2
Endmin, I hardly see you taking a break.
Dijiang Idle Chatter 1
After I told Antal that I didn't like his math games, he stopped sharing them with me. Hmm... Actually, people should follow my example.
Dijiang Idle Chatter 2
The Arsenal engineers keep grumbling about how fast I break my lances... Honestly, the fact that I can swing these excessively heavy weapons is already a miracle.
Dijiang Idle Chatter 3
Mr. Andre...? Can he turn his head 180 degrees? Hmm... I should ask him about this next time.
Dijiang Idle Chatter 4
Akekuri loves long-ears so I compiled plenty of long-ear recipes and gave them to her... Then she stopped talking to me for an entire week... That was so weird...
Dijiang Idle Chatter 5
I'm used to carrying out solo infiltration operations... It's a hassle but someone has to do it. Especially because ... I'm a better loner than the rest of the team.
Dijiang Idle Chatter 6
Loud metal music calms me down... Stopping such noises may be easy, but I enjoy the sense of aimlessness amidst the cacophony. It helps me ... forget who I am.
Offering Gifts
Endmin, will you accept this? Have no fear... There's nothing odd about this thing.
Accepting Gifts
It's for ... me? Well... Thank you... I usually do not receive gifts from people who are not in my team.
Trust Dialog 1
Join the assault team? No, thank you. I am confident that I lack the physical strength to do so... And people shouldn't be forced to carry me around.
Trust Dialog 2
Someone in the trade said I'm under-utilizing my intel... Hmm... I actually never thought about utilizing these secrets. It's just too much work... I guess I just enjoy collecting them...
Trust Dialog 3
Bad luck? My parents always reminisce about the good ol' days, saying it was just bad luck that our lives kept getting worse... But, well... I think every experience is meaningful in some way. It was how I met my fellow colleagues in Op Team Z7...
Trust Dialog 4
I was at rock bottom before meeting Team Z7. *Sigh* That time was a total disaster... Some hack cheated me of all my money and I was so hungry... At first, Akekuri and Fluorite had me bivouac with the other nomads they rescued. But when I decided to share details on the Landbreakers' organization and their patrol shifts... Fluorite couldn't hide her astonishment and asked me how I did it... Yeah, I still remember that look on her face.
Trust Dialog 5
I just want to live a peaceful life and accept whatever comes my way... There was a time when I thought this was wishful thinking for someone as unlucky as me. Then I came to Endfield ... joined Team Z7 ... and met you, Endmin... Thank you for tolerating my presence...
Chat 1
My past wasn't a roller coaster ride. I just followed my family and went from place to place... Yeah, I guess it was tiring and hard, but most Talosians went through the same thing. I just hope life can get more relaxing and easier...
Chat 2
I like the metallic buzz when someone rips a distorted riff. When I'm out in the open, it gives my ears a strange tingling — it's weirdly comforting...
Chat 3
Working behind enemy lines isn't that hard. On the contrary ... it feels rather exciting when you don't know when the danger will strike... Well, nothing would catch you off guard so long as you're well prepared.
Chat 4
I'm sorry, Endmin. Just tell me when you feel offended by me... HR reminded me about this... But my friends in Team Z7 told me it's alright because they said being offended by Estella is a part of life...
Chat 5
I just collect intel and Fluorite analyzes them. How do you use intel to understand how their mind works? Hmm... I hope Fluorite could share her secrets with me... The only thing she told me was that: "It's all down to experience."
Topic: Akekuri
Hmm... There will be a reckoning for this unfair assignment. Everyone shall learn about Akekuri's cupcake secret... Hurhur... Estella, you are such an evil girl.
Topic: Catcher
Catcher doesn't have any secrets... In fact, he's practically laid everything bare in his Work Performance Report... I never expected to meet a weirdo like him.
Topic: Fluorite
I tend to get partnered up with Fluorite. She kept laughing at things I said and even encouraged me to say more... Hmm... I guess ... people and their minds can be quite complicated.
Topic: Antal
The Savra is dedicated ... though I think he goes overboard at times. Work is tiring enough as it is... But I find his jokes quite interesting. They always make me and Fluorite laugh.
Resource/Collectible Detected 1
That one looks good... If possible, we should bring it back.
Resource/Collectible Detected 2
Look there... Could be worth the trouble.
Unexplored Area Detected

I'm here to help... But don't expect too much from me...

Guess the prep was worth it.

Team Encouragement 2
Good... Team work is what we need.

I'd rather not do this too often...
Encouragement Response 2
