Estelle Burns



Estelle Burns is a minor character from Quiet After the Hurricane. She works as an evidence forger, though only in secret, as she disappeared after being exposed as the Oracle of the Law.

Appearance
Estelle has long brown hair in curls. A majority of it falls on her back, but there are small sections in ponytails on either side of her head. She wears an orange shirt with a large pink bow in the chest region. She wears a skirt that reaches her knees in the same melon pink color and knee high yellow boots.

Personality
Estelle is a quiet girl who doesn't talk much. She prefers to keep to herself. Estelle is quite easily scared and can be perceived as childish, as she cries when terrified. Estelle is mysterious and shy most of the time, though she may break cover when around her closest friends: the Rinko sisters. Estelle is quietly hopeful and has a habit of getting her head in the clouds at times.

Before the Story
Estelle isn't in fact a real person, just a fragment of the Oracle of the Law's mind and a figment of deception to those she appears to. She was created by Chrysalis Starr, who was looking to end the darkness that loomed over the legal world. Estelle became one of Chrysalis' alternate identities after the GC-9 Incident's resolution in August of 2025.

Quiet After the Hurricane
Estelle was only present in case three, the trial of Kale Kaillen. She had been asked to attend the trial by Cotoli Morix, who wanted her as backup in case evidence forgeries became a subject of conversation. Estelle spoke with Cotoli under the trial. Not long after the trial began, Estelle deduced that witness Collin Ispy was the Under Cover Assassin. Cotoli followed her advice to indict him as far as the murder goes. Eventually, people began questioning the validity of a receipt that proved Collin guilty. Estelle was called to the stand to say that it was truth. She vanished for a while, though she was later shot at by Collin, who declared that he was going to get his revenge on the Oracle of the Law. Estelle began crying afterwards this, seeking the comfort of Venus Rinko. They were approached by Hana Bullgard, who offered to help out if needed. Estelle denied such help and went to the Rinko house to calm down after the trial.
