* Enemies: [[Pantheon/TaintedLove Frollo]], [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearanceOther Rev. Harry Powell]]
* Hester Prynne comes from a 17th century Puritan community. Her husband had been missing for a long time and she was assumed to be a widow, however she got pregnant out of wedlock and refused to say who the father was. This got her accused of adultery, which was considered a crime at the time. After serving time in jail, where she gave birth to her daughter Pearl, a scarlet letter "A" (for "adulteress") was sewed into the lapel of her dress so everyone would always know her sin. She lived in the edges of her community and raised Pearl, who was likewise shunned by her peers and grew wild. Adding to Hester's worries was the return of her husband Roger Chillingworth, who left Hester in peace but took to tormenting Rev. Dimmesdale, believing he had been Hester's lover. That belief turned out to be the truth and the guilt ended up killing Dimmesdale after he confessed his sin in front of the community. Chillingworth also died sometime after, leaving a large inheritance to Pearl. Hester reclaimed some respect from her neighbors for her skill as a seamstress and charity work and lived out her life (always wearing the letter) so that she died in relative peace and was buried near Dimmesdale.
* She was placed in the Pantheon after her death and is not overly enthused at her title, which emphasizes the reminder of the sin that burdened her for so much of her life. Even so, she resigned herself to it, reasoning that if God still wants her to live with the scarlet letter, then so be it. The saving grace is that the denizens of the Pantheon, for the most part, have a very different mentality from the Puritan community she called home, and people who actively ostracize and insult her are the exception, not the rule. Other than that, she lives her life in the Pantheon much like she did in the mortal realm, doing work as a seamstress and good deeds for the poor. Her temple is an isolated cottage located by the edge of some woods, similar to her old home.
* Among the closest friends she's made since ascending are fellow suffering heroines from literary classics, such as Tess Durbeyfield and Helen Graham. Hester and Tess can relate to each other over being shamed for sleeping with men outside of marriage; in Tess' case, there's also the fact that she was raped by the man she supposedly sinned with, so she has the added pain of being shamed for something that was forced on her, which Hester is disgusted by. Helen Graham never technically committed adultery or had extramarital relations (unless one counts emotionally), but she definitely suffered at the hands of her abusive and uncaring husband, whom she ran away from, more for the sake of her child's education than her own sake. That kind of sacrifice for one's child is something Hester can relate to; she also sees something of her marriage to Chillingworth in Helen's ill-fated marriage, not so much because Chillingworth was abusive to her (he wasn't), but because he still turned out to be a vengeful monster Hester is ashamed to have married.
* The more predictable people who still take issue with her so-called crime of adultery are the religious fanatics, such as Frollo. He is someone who would happily condem those he perceives as sinners to death, and he emphasizes women and sexual intercourse as bringing ruin to the righteous. Through that logic, he blames Dimmesdale and Chillingworth's demises on Hester and uses this to condemn her further. This obviously offends Hester, but she's also shocked at just how extreme his beliefs are; the Puritan community she comes from may have dealt in harsh judgement, but Frollo is of a whole other level of brutality that Hester had never personally witnessed before. At any rate, she maintains that her sin is strictly a matter between her and God alone, and she has no obligation to listen to other opinions, especially not corrupted men of the cloth.
* Harry Powell is arguably more insane with Frollo, but he knows to mask it with a veneer of pleasantness, which initially succeeded in getting him in Hester's good graces as she thought him a charismatic and understanding reverend like Dimmesdale. But Hester's life experience was quick to clue her in there was something decidedly off about him, so that when he proposed her marriage, she turned him down. This led to him invading her temple one night, determined to bring his version of God's judgement upon her, and while it was a harrowing experience for Hester, she managed to blind him with her sewing needles and incapacitate him so she had time to call the authorities on him. Even in that state, Powell made no secret of his contempt for her, which he feels for all women but especially those like Hester who have blatantly strayed from God's path. Hester understood then what a profoundly deranged man he was, but refused to be cowed by him and plainly said he was the one who strayed, which sent him into hysterical anger but he could do nothing about it as he was dragged away.
* Despite her religious background, Hester's ostracism by her community made her not wholly unsympathetic to witches and she was tempted to join them when a local witch known as Mistress Hibbins (sister to the governor) invited her to a coven, but she resisted as she had Pearl to think about. Hester wasn't surprised that such witches made it into the Pantheon, but she was surprised that at least one of them, Agatha Prenderghast, is not nearly as sinister as the idea she had of witches. In fact, Hester feels a kinship towards Agatha, as well as her co-god Norman, for the unfair ostracism they suffered at the hands of their neighbors. The pair's only "crimes" were their harmless ability to see the dead, which they have no control over, so it really saddens Hester to see such young children already being targets of so much unwarranted hostility, especially Agatha, who was even executed.
* Hester would learn that some societies take a far more literal and strict reading of the Bible than her Puritan community ever did. She became fast friends with Offred, who described Gilead to Hester in all its sordid detail and specifically the ridiculous limitations it places on women, making Hester's Puritan neighbors look positively liberal. Given Gilead is created in the far future from Hester's perspective, and comes after centuries of people learning to respect others' individual freedoms, it makes Hester very depressed to know there will always be people eager to build a world where they can pass harsh judgement to whoever displeases them for some arbitrary reason. Offred assures her that there is still freedom outside Gilead, and within it there is LaResistance, so it's not all hopeless.
* Since she lived in American colonies in the 17th century, Hester is used to the sight of First Nations people, who incidentally misinterpreted her scarlet letter as indicative of an important person. She was rather interested to meet Pocahontas, one of the more famous Native Americans of the era, somewhat relating to the way she ended up being treated as a mere curiosity among so-called "civilization", despite that they regarded her as a princess on paper. Hester's open mind and bond with the natural world (the only place where she was allowed to be truly free) are a credit to her as far as Pocahontas is concerned, with the Indian maiden regarding Hester as one of the few truly good colonists.
* Hester shows a lot of interest in meeting other deities bearing marks of shame, and has discovered that some are even being more permanent and painful than her scarlet letter; that's the case with Zuko, whose famous burn mark over his eye was inflicted on him by his abusive father after Zuko dared to speak against him, leading to Zuko committing atrocities to regain his honor and father's approval. Fortunately, Zuko managed to find himself again and overcome his insecurities, and in the end fought for what's right. Hester can certainly respect someone who went through such a tortured personal journey to overcome their shame, especially with Zuko being very young at the time. Zuko returns the sentiment, recognizing Hester as a fellow misfit who had to learn to live with her own shame and rise above it.
* Kratos was someone who was a bit harder for Hester to empathize with, since his mark of shame came from murdering his own wife and son in a fit of rage and his overall brutal and angry attitude doesn't help matters. Nonetheless, Hester came to realize that Kratos is not entirely to be blamed for what happened, as he was toyed with by cruel pagan gods. He also seems to be trying to turn a new leaf, live in peace and raise his living son properly despite the fact that trouble just gravitates towards him, something Hester can certainly sympathize with after raising Pearl all on her own. With all that in mind, she hopes Kratos can find peace and happiness in life someday. Kratos also recognizes Hester as someone who is burdened with past sins, and has been known to protect her once in a while.

** An early attempt didn't go well. Sorin started with the absolute basic of basics: controlling the blood itself telepathically. Karin, asked to puncture her thumb to give them some to work with, used one of her own fangs to do so. The result was...[[HighPressureBlood messy.]] After leaving for a moment to clean himself off, Sorin put her through her paces, to no avail: Karin's control extended to creating little bubbles on the surface of the blood, while she ended up with a pounding migraine. Sorin is disappointed, but confident she'll get better.

*Trevor Reznick is an emaciated machinist who is suffering from insomnia and is distant from almost everyone he meets, with the exceptions of a hooker named Stevie and a waitress named Marie. A meeting with a man named Ivan sends Trevor’s life spiraling out of control, with him getting fired from his job and later barred from visiting Stevie as a result of his increasing paranoia. Trevor later learning that there never was someone named Marie working as a waitress at the airport cafe he visited and a confrontation with Ivan forces Trevor to confront a terrible truth about himself. A year prior to his reckoning, Trevor was responsible for a hit-and-run accident that caused the death of a young boy, which later contributed to Trevor’s deteriorating condition and Ivan, who no one else could see, served as a manifestation of the monster Trevor saw himself as. It’s only when Trevor turns himself in to the police and admits his crime that he can finally be at peace with himself and go to sleep.
*It had been at least a year since Trevor had been in prison when he was told that someone wanted to visit him. His visitor empathized with his psychological plight and asked Trevor if he was interested in potentially furthering recovery, a question Trevor wasn’t sure how to answer. The visitor showed Trevor some papers for the Pantheon, a place where people who went through terrible ordeals can be given the means to live a normal life. This potential extension to Trevor’s recovery was not without some issues ranging from dealing with fantastical elements Trevor was unfamiliar with to dealing with obstacles that would remind him of his dark past. Although Trevor was wary about getting involved in a place where he could end up falling back to his unstable condition after running over that child, the visitor assured Trevor that even if he opted not to get too heavily involved with what happens in the Pantheon, there will at least be something there to ensure his state of mind will be at peace.
*One of the few entities in the Pantheon that Trevor was able to maintain amiability towards was Simon Henriksson, who also endured psychological turmoil following a nasty accident. Beyond the dark irony of Trevor causing a hit-and-run while Simon was victim of such a crime, both had to contend with dark manifestations of themselves with Ivan representing Trevor’s guilt and Book Simon being the cause of Simon’s misery and learned that the only way to be on the road to recovery was to confront their own darkness. When it came to hallucinations, the freakish-looking monsters that Simon confronted were far more dangerous than anything Trevor had to endure both from a psychological and physical standpoint. Regardless of Simon going through a more extreme version of Trevor’s ordeal that could have potentially ended in tragedy, Simon was understanding of what Trevor went through and given how Simon is working on recovering from his psychological problems, he’s willing to help Trevor in that aspect.
*Like Trevor, Rust Cohle was involved in a hit-and-run incident that personally took a toll on his life, with the victim being Rust’s daughter. This led to Rust’s wife divorcing him and Rust becoming an alcoholic and developing a nihilistic view about humanity. Being a detective, Rust is dedicated to stopping crime in spite of his outlook on humanity and it was news for him to learn about another man who ruined his life as a result of an accidental hit-and-run. Trevor didn’t really have anything to live for in contrast to Rust doing detective work despite his alcoholism and nihilism, so when Trevor was brought up to Rust, he replied that not everyone can change for the better, but finding something worth living for after understanding what regret is can be a start.
*Before meeting the Venom Symbiote, Eddie Brock was involved in a hit-and-run accident that caused the death of a child similar to what Trevor did, but the aftermath of the child getting run over was different. Where Trevor attempted to repress that memory before coming to terms with his actions, Eddie knew from the start that he was guilty of the accident, but ended up absolving himself of that responsibility due to the influence of his father, an action that would affect his personality for years. It took plenty of time for Eddie to better himself as a person and while the Venom Symbiote was a terrifying entity for those unaware of it, Eddie would work with it to fight against frightening foes, furthering his complicated path to being a hero. For an ordinary person who was mentally unwell such as Trevor, seeing something as unnatural as the Venom Symbiote bonded to what appeared to be a physically capable man (albeit one who has made the effort to be a more heroic figure and is understanding of Trevor’s past hit-and-run ordeal), seeing it almost felt like a worse version of his past hallucinations even if others can see the symbiote.
*While Sunny had a similar ordeal when it came to confronting the accidental murder of a child, how things panned out were different as Trevor apparently never had any genuine friends to hang out with compared to Sunny. Sunny created an imaginary world in his head as a means to cope with him being responsible for the death of his own sister and much like how Ivan was a manifestation of Trevor’s guilt, Omori was a representation of the depression Sunny suffered following Mari’s death. Both Trevor and Sunny had to come clean about them causing the sudden death of a child, though Trevor noted that getting involved in such a murder while having a group of friends like what Sunny went through had the potential to be more devastating for multiple people than Trevor’s own accidental manslaughter. The two were also relatively quiet individuals, though given how Sunny had a strong bond with his group of friends (who saw a bit of Sunny in Trevor when Sunny mentioned him to the group), he believes there is a chance that Trevor can open up to more people even if the process will take time.
*Within his hallucinations, Trevor befriended a boy named Nicholas, who appeared to be the son of Maria and it only ended up being more devastating for Trevor when he learned the truth about what he did back then. Nicholas was identical to the boy Trevor ran over and Maria was a representation of the boy’s mother, both of their lives being destroyed as a result of Trevor’s negligence back then. As far as the Pantheon is concerned, Trevor is aware that not everyone is willing to forgive him for admitting that he killed a child. If there is something that he is furious about, it’s hearing about the number of entities who are willing to deliberately harm, if not outright kill, children as they serve as reminders of how worse Trevor could have been if he didn’t admit his guilt.
*As much as Trevor knows that he isn’t expecting forgiveness from everyone over what he did back then, he’s dismayed to learn there are some who are willing to brutally punish criminals, regardless of whether their actions were accidents or not. John Kramer was someone who frightened Trevor given how he punishes those that are guilty of something by putting them through deadly games that can cause further physical and psychological harm to those that are caught in it. Kramer found something intriguing about how someone who committed a crime (even if it was accidental) eventually admitted to his guilt, but if Trevor ended up falling back into his unstable behavior and caused another manslaughter incident because of it, Kramer would have the appropriate punishment in mind for him. Learning about how ruthless Kramer can be when it comes to punishing the guilty has given Trevor plenty of reasons to avoid him as much as possible.
*Travis Bickle was another mentally unstable man who went through some similar events when it came to a hooker and another woman he cared about, but how things played out ended up being different. Travis, who tried to have a relationship with a campaign volunteer, failed at it, and later took a liking towards a hooker, took issue with what he saw as criminals and low-life humans and sought an outlet for his violence that he ended up embracing. Trevor ended up committing a crime by accident and as a result, his paranoia caused him to be driven out by a hooker he befriended and he never directly met the woman he fantasized about hanging out with. Since Trevor was able to mentally recover to some extent in the end, he sees Travis as a dark reflection of himself and what could have happened if Trevor never sought to find the truth about himself.
*As Trevor is aware of, the path to redemption for criminals who witnessed the murder of a child (or caused such a thing in Trevor’s case) is difficult and Jesse Pinkman was not only a former criminal who sought to get out of the darkness that he found himself in, but someone who Trevor was able to talk to. Having formerly been involved in the business of making meth, Jesse witnessed the murder of a child at the hands of Todd Alquist and as Jesse’s former boss Walter White slid further into villainy, Jesse tried to break away from it and after plenty of hardships, he succeeded. Jesse had some doubts about meeting someone who was involved with the accidental death of a child, but after hearing about how remorseful Trevor was about it, he came to an understanding. While Trevor’s path to full recovery will take time and trouble will come knocking, Jesse is willing to support Trevor and ensure that the latter’s redemption will fully stick.
*Following that hit-and-run incident, Trevor became insomniac and was only able to finally get some sleep after admitting his crime. The Pantheon being a place where second chances happen yet many are aware of the mistakes of others, Trevor has been able to sleep better than he has before, but sometimes a bad nightmare that reminds him of his past will sometimes happen and Trevor will end up losing sleep for a bit. While there are plenty of malevolent monsters that only exist in dreams, the bigger concern Trevor has is that he’ll end up in a nightmarish world that’ll remind him of his dark past and that can be a nightmare that he can’t wake up from. That the Pantheon was home to a number of powerful entities that can create dream worlds and can potentially trap victims in them in addition to preying on their worst fears has given Trevor another problem to worry about in addition to his occasional returning bouts of insomnia.
*Trevor’s deteriorating mental state after running over that child led to numerous hallucinations, which included meeting Maria, Nicholas, and Ivan at different points in time. As much as these hallucinations took a toll on Trevor during that time, there were some in the Pantheon who endured far more intense hallucinations and a few deities were capable of instilling them onto their victims. As the supervillain Scarecrow, Jonathan Crane uses fear gas to make his victims see their worst fears, something that disturbed Trevor as it meant he could see even worse versions of his hallucinations if he were to ever inhale that fear gas. What made it worse was that Dr. Crane was also a psychologist who was obsessed with what others feared and if Trevor was going to visit a psychologist who understood his own problems get further in his psychological recovery, it would certainly not be Crane.
