Est (Japanese: エストEst) is a Pegasus Knight in the service of the Whitewings squadron of Macedon, under the command of Princess Minerva. She is the youngest of the three Whitewings sisters, the younger sister of Palla and Catria. After the War of Shadows, she married Abel of the Altean knights.
My sisters say that being the youngest, I'm good at adapting to situations, but being adaptable doesn't mean much when your luck is as terrible as mine! They think I've had it pretty easy, but it's actually been tough for me. I have to admit, sometimes I wish they could understand that a bit more...
While her sisters departed the Macedon army to join Minerva in Marth's forces, Est instead departed for Grust upon hearing of their possession of the Mercurius, successfully retrieving it. She encountered and joined Marth's army as they passed through Chiasmir.
In Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, promotion gains consist on giving the character as many points as necessary—the "x" value shown in the table—to reach the promoted class's base stats. If the character's stats are higher than their promoted class' base stats, they will not receive any bonus.
Est was captured by the pirate Grieth and taken to the continent Valentia, imprisoned inside his fort in Zofia's eastern desert. Palla and Catria pursued Grieth's ship but lost track of him around the Zofia port, soon joining Celica's army in hopes of finding Est along the way. During her imprisonment, Jesse made a failed attempt to invade the fort and release her, but was himself captured and imprisoned. Eventually Celica's forces reached Grieth's fort and conquered it, releasing Est, whereupon she joined the army. After the defeat of Duma, she and her sisters travelled back to Archanea.
In Gaiden, promotion gains give the character as many points as necessary—the "x" value shown in the table—to reach the promoted class' base stats. If the character's stats are higher than their promoted class' base stats, they will not receive any bonus; however, if all stats are higher, then they will receive +1 to HP.
As in Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, while her sisters departed the Macedon army to join Minerva in Marth's forces, Est instead departed for Grust upon hearing of their possession of the Mercurius, successfully retrieving it. In this game, because the Chiasmir map was cut, she appears in a village in Camus the Sable instead.
In Mystery of the Emblem, promotion gains for HP and weapon level consist of giving the character as many points as necessary—the "x" value shown in the table—to reach the promoted class's base value. If the character's value for one of those two stats is higher than their promoted class's base value, they will not receive any bonus in that stat.

Role
In the years since the War of Shadows, Est had married Abel of the Altean knights, and the two had retired to start a small shop together. However, at the onset of the War of Heroes, Est was captured and imprisoned during Archanea's onslaught on Altea. The Archanean army used her as a hostage, to force Abel to come out of retirement and fight for them in their occupation of the Altean palace. When Marth and his group returned to Altea, they released Est and she joined their forces, and she soon convinced Abel to stand down and rejoin Marth.

She, Minerva and Catria formed a temporary truce with Prince Hardin of Aurelis and his knights, in order to work together to suppress an insurrection from Macedonian deserters which threatened the lives of Aurelian villagers.

Est is a Pegasus Knight that joins in Chapter 18. As the representative of the Est archetype, she comes with very low bases for her late join time, but with impressive growths in most areas for Shadow Dragon standards. Because of the high number of cavalry units in her joining map, along with her coming with a Ridersbane, Est can gain experience quickly. Her base lance rank is C, which allows her to use very good lances, including the Ridersbane she joins with, the Dragonpike and the Killer Lance. However, in higher difficulties, the enemies will be too bulky for Est to one-shot, and she will need a forged effective weapon instead. Additionally, many units will be capable of utilizing strong lances when Est joins, and will not need to be given level-ups when enemies are much stronger than they are.
With Palla and Catria, Est can do the Triangle Attack, a guaranteed hit and crit. Since both sisters are effective units, deploying all three Whitewings for the Triangle Attack does not hold the player back. While Est is the hardest to train, as she joins the latest and her base level is only 3, she can be made into a strong combat unit with investment; alternately, Est does not need to be leveled up to activate a Triangle Attack, and would only need investment to be useful beyond that.

Similarily to Shadow Dragon, Est is once again not a very good unit. She's the boss of prologue 7 if the player has chosen no for the dialogue option in the previous chapter and is recruited at the start of prologue 8. She has acceptable bases for her jointime, however because of his higher movement and better bulk Cain is often prefered over Est. Still Est isn't a particularly bad unit for the prologue and might even get a level or 2. However, she doesn't join the player again until chapter 15. Even if she somehow got 2 perfect level ups in the prologue, her bases will still be bad. Despite her high growths, because almost every unit in New Mystery has good growths Est barely stands out among the cast. If the player has the patience and will, Est may very well end up as your strongest unit, however the work necessary in order to make her viable isn't worth the returns Est gives.
As in Fire Emblem Gaiden, Est is kidnapped by Grieth after retiring from the Whitewings of Macedon. Grieth takes Est to Valentia and imprisons her in his citadel located in the eastern desert of Zofia. Eventually, Celica's forces arrive at Grieth's citadel and conquer it, liberating Est and reuniting her with her sisters, Palla and Catria. After thanking Celica for rescuing her, Est joins Celica's army. Once Alm and Celica's armies defeat Duma, Est returns with her sisters to Archanea.
In Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, promotion gains give the character as many points as necessary—the "x" value shown in the table—to reach the promoted class' base stats. If the character's stats are higher than their promoted class' base stats, they will not receive any bonus; however, if all stats are higher, then they will receive +1 to HP.
Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.
Est once again joins fairly late with bad bases, but good growths in most areas to somewhat compensate. Luckily, unlike in most games she's in, Echoes allows grinding so she can be trained up to be on par with your other units. However, almost any character can be made good through grinding and the fact that Est needs favoritism, specifically nine levels worth, in order to become a usable unit says a lot by itself. Another thing going against her is that Falcon Knights no longer deal effective damage against terrors and have Banish instead, which raises damage output against terrors by ten, a significant downgrade from the original. Another weakness that Est has to deal with is the fact that the vast majority of the cast has significantly boosted growths, meaning that Est's growths stand out significantly less compared to her allies. Even Palla and Catria have similar growths, and with them being recruited earlier and likely having reached promotion level or nearly reached promotion level, there is little reason to deploy Est to engage the enemy. Despite her many shortcomings, Est still has some utility in being able to give her sisters support bonuses to their crit rates. Overall, if the player takes their time and trains up Est she will become a frontliner on par with her sisters and be a great help on the many swamp maps in Celica's Act IV; however on faster playthroughs her greatest contribution will be giving support bonuses to her sisters.
There are two different variations of Est available to Heroes, both of which are tied to her storyline appearance in Mystery of the Emblem. The normal variation of Est is one of the characters available to be summoned by players from the game's initial launch. A spring variation of Est was made available between the period of March 18, 2020 through April 18, 2020 as part of the summoning event surrounding the Familial Festivities update.

Uncertain etymology; est is French for "east", and French and Latin for "is". It is not known if this was why she was named as such.
Spanish

Esther
Possibly derived from the Persian ستاره, "star", or the Hebrew עשתר, Ishtar, a Babylonian/Assyrian mother goddess[1][2]. Its use here may have been intended to give Est a "real" name. Esther is the titular Jewish queen of Persia in the biblical book of Esther.
