PERSONALITY

Esme is extremely intelligent, studious, and fiercely loyal. She is considered an introvert, but she is still compassionate towards others, even if she does not enjoy talking to them. She is a very rational being, even when she is in unfamiliar situations, especially when she has to travel to a new location to perform an exorcism. Esme is quick to point out flaws even at the expense of others, and she is very skeptical of others words, asking copious amounts of questions until she was satisfied.

STRENGTHS:

With her logic, she is able to express cognitive empathy. Even if she does not understand how others are feeling emotionally, she is still able to understand why they may be upset. She deeply values her friendships and she is always ready to help.
She is extremely organized; it's as if her brain is a bookcase, extremely organized by genre. With this, she has a photogenic memory, being able to remember everything in her life: every detail, everything she has ever learned, everything.

WEAKNESSES:

Despite being intelligent, she is an anxious mess, prone to panic attacks and meltdowns when in a stressful situations, especially when plans go wrong.
She also has the tendency to overreact, her logical thinking sometimes loses touch with reality. This causes immense stress to her.
Esme is easily startled, and usually it ends with her sobbing by how terrified she can become.

POWERS

Esme is a well known physic within Solaria. She is able to tell the future, rather accurately. When dealing with an exorcism, she is able to predict the moves her opponent would make before acting herself, making her a viable exorcist. But she is not just dealing with predicting the future, Esme also has the ability to manipulate light. She is able to create beams of light, burning her opponent or blinding them for just a moment, depending on her motive. She can also create figures with her light, using these for predictions.

STRENGTHS:

Esme is very fast, able to dodge strikes easily. She is also flexible and is able to recover rather quickly.

WEAKNESSES:

Esme can predict her opponents move, but not when they happen. Her timing is often wrong, causing her to take damage. While her fortune telling is always correct, her accuracy with her light magic is not. She misses her attacks most of the time, often needing assistance to successfully exorcise someone.
Her light magic can only reach 30ft away from her if it is being projected into a beam(30ft length, 5in width). When projecting light to play out predictions, they can only be tiny enough to stand on a table, and that same table has to be 15ft for it to work. The light causes, at most, second degree burns. Her light also cannot burn through objects like metal, often being absorbed into the material and heating it up rather than just burning straight through it..

BACKSTORY : TW - GORE

Esme was born into witchcraft. Her mother was a witch, but her father was unaware of that. He was a well known businessman, having a good reputation for being a kind man, helping those who needed it. One day, her father died, abruptly, from being assassinated by a member of a rival company. Her mother desperately tried to save him, but, no matter what, she could not save her husband. And it drove her mother crazy. Esme watched as her mother gouged her eye out just to make potions to sell for money. She was manic, using her own body parts for money. But at least her own mother was a successful businesswoman within the local flea market. Her mother taught her everything Esme needed to know about magic, but she decided she wanted to be a psychic. So, she started her own tarot business. At first, people were skeptical of her practice, but all of her predictions were accurate. Every single one. And she became famous for it. Esme became a global phenomenon, and by the time she was eighteen, D.E.U came to her small town to give her an offer. Become an exorcist in Solaria and use her psychic powers to help rid of demons, and, in return, she will get a lot more money than she was making before. Esme accepted without any hesitation.
