The Middle Ages, 10th Century
Esther was born in a witch family in the Kingdom of Norway some time during the 10th Century. Esther had an older sister. It's implied that Esther was close to her mother as she would later tell her son that her mother taught her about the starling bird's tune. She was once close to her sister but they had differing outlooks and different points of view which caused them to grow apart. Despite being born from a powerful witch bloodline, Esther was not interested in the practice of magic after meeting Chris, who swore to protect her, unlike her sister, who devoted herself to the Black Arts.
