Physical Description

General Physical Condition

She is a slightly heavyset Elvish woman, who is incredibly endearing and kind. Often being considered the beacon of Oceania. She is fit by constantly working herself to the bone, taking her jobs very seriously.

Body Features

Heavyset but with muscles that come with the cleaning and working she does. She has emerald green eyes and slightly red hair.

Physical quirks

Seemingly doesn't have any quirks. But as per usual, most people do, hers are just unknown

Special abilities

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Not much is truly known about Esmeralda's history, it is known that her family is deceased, and that she considers William as her only family. She has lived for many years, working hard her entire life, especially learning the ins and outs of tavernkeeping and innkeeping, even graduating from the college of Daggerveil in those fields, gaining the expertise to open her own tavern in Oceania, the town she hails from, where she has since settled down.    Esmeralda was named after the town of Emeraldia, the place her parents wanted her to get to so she could live a worry free life.

Education

Esmeralda has forever been working. She takes her work very seriously and tries her best to keep her reputation up, and to please those she encounters. She has no educational background that most people know about, but she has said that she has graduated the tavernkeeper school in Daggerveil, where she passed with flying colors. She has since opened the Tavern and Inn, eventually marrying a human man named Stefan, and he would take over the tavern and put his name on it, but she would continue to learn all about different alcohol types and all that stuff.

Employment

Her whole life, she has been working. She has had many odd jobs, but her main employment has been in Stefan's Tavern (Originally called Oceania's Tavern), where she has been working as the tavernkeeper, chef, and innkeeper for many years.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Esmeralda considers her biggest achievement as opening up her tavern and inn (which, after she got married, Stefan took it over). She also loves helping people, and that is definitely another achievement of hers. She also is so happy about being William's daughter's godmother, but after his daughter was killed, she fell into a deep depression.

Failures & Embarrassments

Esmeralda takes some of the blame for Viola's death, often considering the option that she could have had her party at the tavern but said no, as there were some big clients in town. It wasn't her fault at all, since there was no way she could have known, and William also tells her it isn't her fault, but she still feels guilt. That is considered her biggest failure.    Another failure of hers is not standing up for herself and keeping the tavern in her name, allowing Stefan to take over.

Mental Trauma

Her family has passed years and years ago, her father, whom she was closest too. This caused some mental trauma for her, but she managed to push through it. The most recent problem for her was the murder of William's daughter, Viola. This dropped her into a deep depression for many years. She has been getting therapy and has been getting better, but she still struggles with it.
