Esther

A Jewish woman living in Persia who became queen to King Ahasuerus. When the official Haman plotted to exterminate all Jews in the empire, her cousin Mordecai pushed her to act. She fasted for three days, then approached the king uninvited — a move that could have meant death — and successfully exposed Haman's plot. Her story centers on the phrase: 'For such a time as this.'
