PERSONALITY:: Esmeralda is known to be bossy. She knows how to sound confident when giving orders even if she's not. She's one to stand up for what she believes in and won't back down, even if she knows she's wrong. Though she seems quite independent, she had always relied on her brother growing up. After he left, she had to learn to do things on her own. Something she has a hard time doing, though it may not appear obvious. She's learning to adapt to this new change.

She is very motherly toward other people, even to people her own age, and to pokemon. However, she usually seems very laid back and friendly. She's often ready to have a good time. Though when it comes to pokemon battles, she would do whatever it took to be careful. She isn't fond of battles and will often give up a fight rather than have her pokemon get hurt.

The past and the future here.[/center]
HISTORY:: Esmeralda was born to Carlos and Theodora. She was every bit a "daddy's girl." And she could do no wrong in his eyes. Because of that she was slightly spoiled. However her mother never allowed her to get away with too much. Her parents divorced when she was eight, and though she would have wanted to go with her father. She and her older brother stayed with their mother. Years later, Theodora met David. Though he had always tried to be a good father, Esmeralda avoided him. He could never replace her real father. However she had become attached to her brother. She saw him more as a father than David.

Miguel, could often be found watching pokemon, and he after dragged Esmeralda with him. Not that she ever cared. He was the first person to give her a camera, telling her to take pictures of anything and everything they saw. After some time she grew to love her camera, even going off on her own to find things to take pictures of. Years had gone by, and Esmeralda thought that things would always be as they were. However, Miguel, wanting to explore the world more, to see different kinds of pokemon. Left to join their father (who had become a pokemon watcher). Esmeralda found herself falling into depression. However she knew, she could never take care of her own pokemon if she couldn't take care of herself. If her brother had left to grow up some. She could to.

SAMPLE:: There were a few things Esmeralda hated. Being bored was one of them. Her Squirtle ran around on the grass obviously having found something amusing. She smiled at that. Though whatever he had found to entertain himself, wasn't something she was interested in. She wasn't sure why she bothered coming home. Sure it was the only place for her to go. But she could go anywhere. She had been able to sell some of her pictures to magazines and papers. It might not bring in a lot of money. But it was enough for her not have to stay home.

She got to her feet, not wanting to stay seated. She was growing restless, which wasn't like her at all. Maybe she should take a swim? She didn't feel like changing into a bathing-suit, but she had jumped in with her clothes before. She was sure her Seel could use some company anyway. She stopped as she walked closer and realized that her Seel wasn't alone. It seemed that her step-father's pokemon had joined her Seel. She gave an angry sigh. Why couldn't David keep his pokemon where they belonged? It was one thing when Esmeralda left her pokemon out. She only had two anyway. And they were well behaved usually. Squirtle wasn't always on his best behavior. But he knew better.

Still, this was an opportunity. Taking out her camera, she snapped a couple of pictures of Seel, and the other pokemon.
