"Or," said Estella, "-which is a nearer case- if you had taught her from the dawn of her intelligence, with your utmost energy and might, that there was such a thing ..... but that it was made to be her enemy and destroyer, and she must always turn against it, for it had blighted you and would else blight her,"
"So," said Estella, "I must be taken as I have been made"
“
However in 'Great Expectations' as the characters Pip andEstella reunite after they both have reached young-adulthood and it is discovered that Estella isengaged to Pip's rival Bentley Drummle the two characters engage in aconversation that reveals that Estella is not entirely the puppet, moulded to almost be MissHavisham, the woman who raised her:
"Do you want me then", said Estella, turning suddenly with a fixed and serious, if not angry, look, "to deceive and entrap you?
"Do you deceive and entrap him, Estella?"
"Yes, and many others—all of them but you."
Instead I believe that Estella is becoming her own person,with her own view rather than she was meant to have been raised, this wouldthen be reflected in a look as instead of a younger mirrored image of MissHavisham I would show subtle, but noticeable changes in the appearance andstyling of Estella so she doesn't seem like just a miniature.
This has helped me decide - that due to the age availabilities of models - I will create a look that will reflect my view of Estella as an young adult, rather than that of her character as a child or older adult version.
