OVERALL PERSONALITY:
i'm a free bitch, baby
this girl isn't going to take your instructions if you don't swing it the right way. when it comes to decision making, esmeralda is very independent, which is probably why she's becoming a bit of a mess. she sometimes bites off more than she can chew because she never turns down a challenge, and never takes crap from anybody. mess with her and be prepared, because she won't stop until she's absolutely destroyed you. don't even touch her reputation, either, because she works hard to keep it up and keep herself out of serious trouble. she enjoys the freedom that comes with having an untarnished name in the public eye, so don't you dare try to take it away from her.
i wanna be your thinspiration
salad and water, salad and water? what's that? you want to eat fries and soda while you're with esmeralda? honey, please. she can't stand fast food or anything that resembles it. it's a silent rule that while you're with this girl you will eat something that at least came from a trusted local restaurant, if not your own fridge. you should know exactly what it is that you're shoving down your greedy little throat; how many calories, date of expiration, all that jazz. that's esmeralda's view, anyhow. she's very meticulous when it comes to her food and calorie intake (and although she does it religiously, she will never, ever admit to counting). this leads to repulsion with just about any sort of anything being dirty (especially dishes!) or messy. she's not a big neat freak, but she appreciates order and really appreciates if you'd put your dirty dishes into the dishwasher, thanks.
i'm in love with my own sins
esmeralda loves her flaws, quite honestly. she knows she has serious issues with self-image and could probably stand to think about other people's feeling a little more often that she currently does, but...eh. she's fine the way she is. plenty of friends and followers, no issues getting someone to keep her bed warm at night. so what's the real problem? she doesn't see one. end of story.
you put on quite a show, really had me goin'
some people call it being two-faced. esmeralda calls it getting what she wants. to figures of real authority, or people that could potentially make or break her day, career, or reputation, esmeralda puts on her pretty face. she is outgoing, polite, sweet, and beloved when she is like this, and she really is like this pretty often. it's how she is upon first meeting people she doesn't consider to be a threat. however, when faced with someone who has crossed her or someone she is close to, she's a real piece of work. don't say i didn't warn you.

HISTORY:
esmeralda yashira was born in some remote village deep in puerto rico, to parents that found themselves unable to care for her themselves. it's the classic 'drop the baby on the front porch' tale; in the middle of the night, in a city not too far from said remote village, a knock was heard at the door of a small orphanage. when the door opened, surprise surprise, a tiny baby girl in a typical handwoven basket was crying on the front step. she was, quite obviously, taken into the care of the orphanage immediately. life there was for the most part uneventful; the funding was practically nonexistant, so esmeralda was not educated at all during her stay, but kept to herself and was quiet. it puzzled the staff, but they appreciated the break from the other rowdy children. because she was quiet, potential parents looked at her and didn't see anything but a wallflower. nothing extraordinary, nothing to catch their eye, nothing they would want living with them in their own home. it wasn't until esmeralda was three years old that her entire life changed. the morrison-novaks were a couple from los angeles, california, with an unusual habit: collecting children. they had recently adopted a little boy from italy, and now they were on an escapade through puerto rico, looking for an exotic young face to sit on their shelf back home. somehow the couple had managed to stumble upon the orphanage that happened to be home to little esme and they almost didn't find her. after looking at all of the kids, they were on their way out the door, sighing that they 'just haven't found quite the look they were searching for'. halfway out the door, the mrs.'s eyes caught on a pair of deep chocolate ones, peering at her curiously from the corner of the main room. it was settled, they were taking her. as soon as they had boarded back into their little jeep to return to their campsite, they found that esmeralda could not talk yet, although she was already three years. it didn't surprise them too much, the poverty was practically dripping out of her pores. when they returned home, they introduced her to her new big brother, santino. little esmeralda had no way of knowing at the time how incredibly close she and santino would grow to be.
while their parents were out at glamorous hollywood parties (mr. morrison-novak was a huge rock legend, and mrs. morrison-novak was said to be the marilyn monroe of her time), the kids were left at home with the careless nanny. not long after esme was adopted, santino began the quest of teaching her to talk, read, and write. he was only two years older than she was, but he turned out to be a better role model than anyone else in the little girl's life, and she admired him with all the love a child could possibly put forth. when she started school at age six, she couldn't have been happier. she did very well in her schoolwork because of santino's help with the basics, and found that going to school was the best part of her day. she loved being surrounded by all the other children, and being able to have conversations with new people about new things. her parents would have been impressed, had they been around. as esmeralda grew older, she learned that they were the two people she should rely on the least. all they did was travel and drop the occasional foreign child off at their luxurious home back in los angeles, then head right back out to travel or work some more. the kids were very close, seeing as it was them against the world, per say. esme didn't mind. her siblings, though not technically related to her, were tight knit and fantastic. always accepting, always loving, always supporting. as she headed into middle school, she put their loyalty to the test without really meaning too. she became one of 'the popular girls'. makeup, slumber parties, boys, cell phones, everything. things became less about everyone else and more about her, due to the attention she received at school from her peers. it was a fantastic feeling, really. the best part was, her siblings didn't judge her fot it. but then again, they were her family, and there was no way she was going to be downright awful to them. she doesn't remember exactly how old she was, but she's pretty sure that she was thirteen when her family moved to valkyrie. she doesn't remember why, either. all she did remember is that there were a lot less cameras following her to school, now. eh. her popularity stuck, though. that's her favorite part.
sometime in her sophomore year, esmeralda can recall that one of her dumb boyfriends called her fat after she dumped him. this is an example of a life lesson: weigh your words carefully, because you never know just what kind of damage they may do. even though she was the one to come out 'on top' relationship wise, she was the one to come out with the most emotional damage. esmeralda has never been the same. mcdonalds, burger king, wendy's? they do not exist to her. esme is all about the salads and healthy eating, now. she has a scale sitting right next to her bed and she religiously checks her wait, logs her calories, and measures her waist, thighs, and arms. if there is one thing you absolutely do not do around esme, it's mention her unhealthy behavior. instead, try the preferred route of complimenting her on how incredibly thin she looks in that gown today. it's been seven years of dedicated anorexia and believe me, darling, nothing you do or say will ever shake her out of it. tragic? hardly.
the rest of her highschool career went by in a bit of a blur. senior prom queen, which was nice, moved out of the house and into an apartment in the valks with santino, which was also nice. somewhere along the line, she graduated from valkyrie's community college and opened up her little boutique, named esmeralda's dresser. she's doing pretty well these days, still living with her brother and still running the shop. she has no problem getting what she wants and needs, especially now that she is away from her parents. they split, by the way. she preferred not to get into the gory details but the rest of her ten siblings were separated, some living with mr. morrison and the others with ms. novak. esmeralda still keeps in constant contact with her little brothers and sisters, sending them money when their parents won't give them any, taking them out of school for a day or so to hang out at the movies or whatever. it's nice, and she really is a nice person on the inside. she still parties and drinks and sleeps with whoever can impress her, yeah, but it works for her, and it will probably continue to work until the day she dies.
