This is my take on the biblical character of Esther (or Hadassah), the namesake protagonist of the Old Testament’s Book of Esther. A woman of Hebrew heritage living in Achaeamenid Persia during the fifth century BC, she married the Persian Shah Ahasuerus (possibly Xerxes I) and then revealed to him his viceroy Haman’s plot to have Persia’s Hebrew population wiped out after her guardian Mordecai refused to bow before him (earlier, she also notified the Shah of a separate plot to assassinate him). Her story forms the basis of the Jewish holiday of Purim.
I will admit that my take on Esther looks almost African here, but given that the Hebrew homeland is situated right next door to Africa, a significant degree of northeastern African genetic and cultural influence would make sense for her.
