Hestia is described as fun loving, alluring, but discreet. She likes to dress as a commoner and go out to party. She has a problem with drinking too much wine, and tends to get herself in trouble, much to the embarrassment of the crown. Hestia does not seem to care much for royal responsibility, and would instead rather live a life of decadence. Hestia and Arilos Sunshade were suspiciously close. This often caused drama with Tyrea, who had already claimed Arilos as her husband. Until Hestia poisoned him with his own love potions, Arilos had been her friend. He now hates and resents her.
Shortly after Tyrea's death, Aster went to Ahellion and explained exactly what happened on the day that Hestia and Aster took advantage of Arilos. Such a crime was unforgivable, and Hestia was summoned to be imprisoned. Hestia, unwilling to accept responsibility for her actions, fled the capital.
Fleeing to Thrain, she took a noble lord as a husband and then arranged for him to be quickly killed. Taking ownership of his estate, he sold off his assets and bought herself a mansion in an undisclosed location. The crown of Vestia has been unable to locate Hestia to imprison her.
Hestia has taken to consorting with shadow magic, and has a personal incubus servant that she uses to assist her in charming any who pass by her estate, taking advantage of travelers all the while.
