What are the character traits of Queen Esther in the old testaments?
A:The Book of Esther tells us that King Ahasuerus (Xerxes) banished his first wife, Vashti, in the third year of his reign. All the virgins among the Medes and Persians were brought to Ahasuerus to see who pleased him, and Esther was chosen from them as his new queen. She found much favour with the king and was able to forestall a plot against all the Jews in Babylon, then asked Ahasuerus that the Jews be allowed to slaughter all those who had plotted against the Jews. However, biblical scholars say the Book of Esther was a second-century-BCE Jewish novel, and Esther was simply a character in that novel. Queen Amestris is accepted by historians as King Xerxes' only known wife, certainly for the first several years of his reign. They say that there never was a Queen Esther, or any Jewish queen of Persia. So, from a historical point of view there are no facts on Esther.
How did Esther become queen?
The Book of Esther tells of Esther, the cousin and adopted daughter of Mordecai the Jew, becoming the new wife of King Ahasuerus of Persia. There was no King Ahasuerus of Persia, but many Bible commentaries observe that Ahasuerus is likely the Hebraicised version of King Xerxes, the Achaemenid leader who ruled from 486 to 465 BCE. Esther is unlikely to have been Xerxes' wife, because his only known wife, Amestris, continued in her role well beyond his third year as king (the date the text suggests Vashti was deposed). Other problems in the story call into question the story's reliability, for example Mordecai is identified as having been sent into exile by Nebuchadnezzar - an event that must have place over a century before Xerxes assumed power.
What was Queen Esther's date of birth?
A:The Book of Esther does not tell us how old Esther was when she became queen to King Ahasuerus (Xerxes), so it is not possible to say just when she was born. Historians say there never was a Queen Esther (or a Queen Vashti) of Persia, and biblical scholars say that the Book of Esther was actually a novel, written in the second century BCE, so we will never have a date of birth for Esther.

How old was King Xerxes when he married Esther?
We don‘t know from the Megillah. The Talmud said she was 75, based on gematria, although it was totally implausible. The Megillah called her a beautiful young virgin, indicating that she would be around 12 years old……gross, alright? But this is the norm for MENA until the Mandates.
