History:
For as long as she could remember, most people had always either hated or feared her and her family for reasons she couldn't quite yet comprehend. She has always been seen as a rather odd girl, aside from being born and brought up by gypsies, she still stood out even amongst her own kind. At the age of five, most part of her life during tat time are still nothing but blurred out and hazy memories, aside from the part where she remembers seeing her mother being burned alive at the stake, while the crowd around loudly cheered on and screamed 'Witch! Witch! Burn the witch!' Her farther had vanished from ehr life as well on that same day without trace or word, leaving ehr in the care of her two uncles, whose 'craziness and weird ways of seeing life' heavily rubbed off on her during her years growing up. With them as her guardians, life, ironically, finally and slowly staretd to make more sense to her. On her mother's side, she comes from long bloodline of withces and magician, all who stuided the dark arts. From a very young age, Esmeralda along with her uncles had discioverd her gift for magic in general, surprsied by the quite strong amont of magical energy the girl possesed. However, she lacked a great deal of control, causing accidents to occur more than often and more harm to herself than good. While one of the uncles usherd her to keep on using ehr talents, the other preferred it if she'd instead used less of it, out of cocnern for her safety.
At the age of 10, another life changing event took place in her life. While travelling along a group of gypsies she and her uncles had decided to stick with, she along with soem other girls her age got kidnapped by a gang of slave traders. Being the stubborna dn little spitefire that she was, she somehow amnaged to convicne one of the men in the group to let her out, in trade of a certain ruby held in ehr possesion. However, the moment she wa sout of her cage, she escaped, without paying back her debt.
Up until she turned 17, the three of them stayed with the same gypsy group. During these years, Esmeralda had found herself new passions, dancing as well as being very skilled in creating a variety of poitons, under the guidence of her uncles. She had always been one to live in the moment, and had without hesitation been able to see her life as a happy one. But of course, that didn't either last. The gypsies got attacked one night, beign accused for using witch craft and hidng other supernatrual beings. It had quickly turned into a massaqure, and during the caous Esmeralda had manged to sneak away mostly unhamred, but with no idea on where either of ehr uncles could be, or if they were still alive. Still, she sticked on the route they had been following, and eventually ended up in the Kingdom of Airbithia. It was tough at first, having no realitves, nor friends, or that much money to live on, and dancin on the streets didn't do much to help. After almsot a year lviing like this, she came across a cave where certain dragon dwelled. She might've died ont he spot, if it handn't been for the fact that the dragon's flames didn't kill her. When asking the young witch how and why she was immune to fire, and her simple answer only being: "I don't know, always been like that." Maybe that's what caught the dragon's interesst? After that, Esme's life slowly turned around for the better. With Aurora's help she got better at her magic, got herself a small but cosy house out in the forest to live, where she could find most of the ingredients she needed for her potions, medecine and ointments she made and solld. Now, she wasn't maybe as happy as before, but it was close enough. If only the King hadn't decided to make that new law... How was she suppsoe to run a business with an attitudes like that from their rulers?

Fears/Weaknesses:
A slight case of claustrophobia. However, depending on her current conditon, it could turn more severe and maybe even give her panic attacks. Being chained up and somehow restrained one way or another, is a more and bigger taboo for her. She loves and needs her freedom more than anything else, and having that taken away from her would be a living nigthmare, where her life were to slowly and painfully fade away.
