What Prevents Her from Being Pure Evil?[]
- She displays care towards Allen, which is proven through her instantly showing regret after pushing him off a roof, panickily yelling his name and looking at his corpse with a sad facial expression and towards a mouse which she makes her pet through showing affection to it by petting it, feeding it, and getting angry and throwing a fit when discovering that Tricia poisoned the food that she fed to it.

Trivia[]
- In the original script, Esther was sexually abused by her father, developing Stockholm syndrome as a result and leading to her becoming sexually attracted to her adoptive father figures. It's unknown if this would have affected her status.
