blue glass [esmer's plotter]

[esmer]

E S M E R. eyyy, so esmer's a pretty dragon lady who doesn't want to be a dragon lady; go figure. as a baby - barely a year old - she was found and taken in by a merchant couple on their way back home to ylisse from pelegia. at present she's ninety-nine years old and nearing her first century. since the death of her parents she's taken up their merchant caravan and frequents as many towns and cities as she can but rarely ventures outside of ylisse if she can help it. as a person she's a little shy but makes an effort to stay as curt and polite as possible since it's in the business. she enjoys reading and other artistically inclined hobbies but loves swimming above all else. relationships as a whole are a touchy subject for her. on one hand she absolutely loves being surrounded by people she's close too and having that same feeling of belonging, on the other she's terrified of having it all taken away from her and leaving her alone over and over again.	NINETY NINE FEMALE BISEXUAL
she might seem friendly along with everything that follows but esmer can actually be pretty cynical about the people trying to get close to her. a part of her brain tries to lock in on other motives behind their eagerness to get close to her but it's not something she really shows; she doesn't even understand why she does it in the first place. just narrows it down to instinct. she tries to please people as best she can but wouldn't go so far out of her way to do it lightly. she does have a stable home in ylisse but is rarely there, thanks to her traveling she'd have plenty of opportunities to get to know others depending on how much she visits a certain place.	L I K E BESTIES CHILDHOOD
she doesn't relate well to her own kind or their reclusive habits so makes a habit of not going to search for them. she's not up for being ostracized on their part due to the fact she was raised as a human by humans; so would just rather avoid it all together. one of the reasons she very rarely goes to pelegia after being told of her origins. all in all i suppose the only ones who would hate her are people who hate manaketes, or just don't like her as a person; she's blunt and selfish to a degree. though she hasn't preformed any unspeakable offences in the past. from her own point of view she dislikes abuse of power coupled with arrogance.	H A T E RIVALS ENEMIES
if anyone openly flirts with her she'll become a blushing mess and maybe a bit defensive. she knows herself how inexperienced she is in the field and doesn't deal with public shows of affection well. and it really hits home to her that she could very well be spending the rest of her days alone, so she's trying to be resolute in her decision not to pursue a romantic relationship. for the good of both parties involved. whenever she's been approached in the past she's purposely remained oblivious to their advances and gotten physically violent when some overstepped their boundaries.

[shamees]

Would I be correct in assuming Esmer is running a family business as a merchant? Shamees is the leader of a caravan, who are compromised of his war buddies from his homeland. For four years, they've been travelling from continent to continent until they arrived in Ylisse recently. As you can tell, they're not an ordinary caravan. Shamees is the supplies convoy of the Knights in the future but it would be really cool if Esmer and Shamees would share that role, especially if Esmer wants to be more active fighting.

Do you have a specific direction in mind for Esmer right now? We can have them meet before Shamees joins the knight, so they can be recruited at the same time.

As far as how they'll get along, I think we can see how it goes in a thread since they'll be meeting as fellow merchants, not knowing the other are more than they appear.

edit: oh, and Tsan'lo and shamees are in a thread right now after shamees saved her from bleeding to death. We can establish a relationship between the two already and have Esmer join the thread later since she and Tsan'lo are acquainted.

[Ceresi]

Funnily enough, I could see Ceresi and Esmer as almost... kindred spirits? They seem to be both wary of others, though I think Ceresi takes it a bit further than Esmer does. Okay maybe a lot And Esmer's a manakete, so she wouldn't get the "I hate humans" vibe as much as the "I don't trust manaketes" vibe. So yes. Potential plot here maybe.
