While easily approachable, she could also be equally gullible at times. Especially, around those closest to her. It never bothered Esme of the fact that she is last in line as a successor. Politics were never her strong suit. Esme doesn't consider herself to be a violent person, yet she believes her place is on the battlefield, much to her family's discontent.

[*] [b][color=Yellow]Animal Handling (Novice):[/color][/b] Esme has always wanted to work with animals, particularly with birds because of fragile they are. But, it takes effort on her part to be extra gentle, something she wants to overcome.

It took her weeks to retrieve it. [*] [b][color=Yellow]Fishing (Apprentice):[/color][/b] Fishing was picked up around the same time during the lake incident.

Casimir (Step-father, 59) Charlotte Casimir (Step-mother, 55) [b][color=Yellow]Siblings:[/color][/b] Lyna Casimir (Step-sister, 30) Domnik T. Casimir (Step-brother, 26) Ysabel Casimir (Step-sister, 21) [b][color=Yellow]Childhood:[/color][/b] Prior to being accepted into the Casimir household, Esme was originally born from a family with almost nothing to their name. They had to frequently resort to crime, just to sate their basic needs. This behavior didn't stop even after Esme was born. In fact, she was used as a tool to garner sympathy or simply used as a distraction. When their luck ran out, local authorities deemed the parents unfit to be Esme's guardians, and promptly took her away. One would believe the system will bless young Esme with a better life, a proper family, if not for the intervention of a corrupt official working for the Underground. Those suffering from poverty were heavily preyed upon at the time by a group of transmutation specialists. They were a branch dedicated to create humanoids with enhanced abilities, the perfect war soldier. Rather than being put into a loving home, Esme was transferred to a privately funded research facility. Where she would live out the rest of her childhood years as a test subject. She was only six. Five years later, the Casimir House were responsible for shedding light on this tragedy. Those involved in the project were rightfully imprisoned, while the surviving victims were either released or received additional support. Esme, however, was a special case. On top of being the only one recovered from her age group, she unintentionally displayed a show of strength that no child should possess. This made her difficult to handle, as she was also suffering painful withdrawal symptoms from a drug forced upon her. When she was sedated, it was decided among the trusted parties present to shelter Esme and get a better understanding of her condition. With Casimir house agreeing, albeit a split decision, to provide a place for her in Sweden. Shortly after her arrival, a magical seal was placed on her forehead by the three Casimir siblings. Which rewrote Esme's memories with a pleasant version of her life serving the Casimir house. This wasn't their intention at first, but Esme herself requested it during one of her therapy sessions, wishing to leave the past behind. [b][color=Yellow]Adolescence:[/color][/b] For the first time in her life, Esme received a formal education through her squire apprenticeship. Esme's road to knighthood started as nothing more than keeping her close and observing her behavior. But, as time passed, it was like she was part of the family. That much became true, when Esme received her adoption papers on the day she was knighted. It was the happiest moment of her life! However, many were still not convinced by Esme's accolades. Outside the family, especially by those aware of her origins, still view her as a problematic child or an opportunity to ascend their status with the right connections. The Underground halfway abandoned the 'failed' project that forged Esme, and pooled their resources back into the main branch. But, in light of these recent developments, they weren't opposed in rebooting the project with more refined methods. All they needed is the funding. [b][color=Yellow]Special Moments:[/color][/b] Receiving her adoption papers. Picking up her first weapon, it was a maul. Retrieving her maul from a lake. [b][color=Yellow]Current Events:[/color][/b] None at the moment.

A noble family with little political power and small acres of land to their name. They specialize in spell-sword arts, and are often denounced for going against traditional beliefs. Lyna, the eldest daughter, is the one responsible for keeping the family relevant through the criticisms, by upholding her oath for the Order of Twilight. When Esme came into the picture, she chose to follow the Order of Shield, in hope to carry some of that burden. Esme has a thick welsh accent.
