Estela Montoya

Estela is a character in the "Endless Summer" series. She is one of Your Character's love Interests. She is first seen in book 1, chapter 1.

Appearance
Estela has long brown hair tied back into a ponytail with a few strands falling loose, lightly tanned skin and brown eyes. She has a long scar on her face along her right eye, and she wears a blue hoodie over a white tank top.

Personality/Backstory
Estela is very mysterious and withdrawn. In chapter 6, Your Character can discover in her partially blacked out file that she is a former soldier who was involved in a military coup.

Her father abandoned her when she was a baby, and she was raised by her uncle and mother in San Trobida. Her uncle taught her the family business; how to hunt, fight and kill, but her mother always dreamed for a peaceful life for them. Her mother worked for Rourke International, but because children weren't allowed her mother would have to send her letters. One day, her mother sent her a letter revealing the illegal things Rourke was up to, but a day later her mother died in a 'freak accident'- an obvious coverup. The reason why she went to La Huerta was to get her revenge. In her file, Rourke lists her threat level as "Do Not Approach", meaning he sees her as very dangerous.

Your Character
If the player chooses to stargaze with Estela, she'll admit that she thinks Your Character is a nice and honest person. She seems to feel the need to protect you, practically begging you to leave the island and have a comfy life after college. If you go with her to fight the King Crab in chapter 9, it is implied she has romantic feelings for Your Character. An example is when you share you've had dreams about each other. In Estela's dream they are adrift in an underground lake and the college student takes her hand. She abruptly stops but it's possible the dream was sexual. In chapter 13, she and Jake volunteer to teach you martial arts so you can protect yourself. If you note that blocking her moves is like dancing, she blushes. You can choose to take her back to your room in chapter 14, where it is implied you had sex with her.

Raj
After Raj makes jokes about Your Character shutting down the party after being startled the mysterious creature, Estela will scold him for making jokes instead of being concerned for his/her well being.
