Who is Esmae?[]

In the past Esmae was a student at the Ascension Academy. Present day Esmae assisted in Chipz escape from the Vampire Council.

Most of the time she has a very innocent seeming demeanor but behind it she hides darker thoughts and occasionally gives passive-aggressive threats of violence.

She has a love interest in Chipz which she previously kept secret but her way of talking about it borders on obsession and possessiveness in characteristic "yandere" fashion.

Her condition of being a spirit and coming in contact with darker spirits sometimes causes her to loose herself, with symptoms like memory loss.

Please remember that events described in this article are roleplay and acting. Actions done in-character do not reflect on the actual person portraying the character!

Present Esmae[]

In the present she helped Victor and Hybris to rescue Chipz from the Vampire Council, by getting into his mind using some kind of "thought projection" while he was trapped in captivity, to wake him up from his dream and to know his location.

Stealth May 23rd 2019 24 Esmae — Confiding in Chipz.

History of Past Esmae[]

Background[]

Esmae and her parents died in a fire when she was very young leading to her returning as a spirit.

Ascension Academy[]

The first fellow student that she opened up to when starting at the Ascension Academy was Chipz, they quickly bonded and she told him about her magical abilities of thought projection and some of her worries related to the academy.

Spying on the teachers[]

Together with Chipz, Hoshi and Rook she managed to get into trouble after spying on Professor Vondanen and Professor Willow who seemingly attempted to open some kind of magical door in a crystal cavern close to the academy. They were confronted by Professor Conor who claimed that he knew where they had been, but said that he wouldn't tell on them. She was later approached by Von, who treated her atypically kindly and asked her to keep an eye on Chipz for him. Instead of doing so she told Chipz of what Von had said. ^[1]

Again during squad assignment she once again spied on Vondannen together with Chipz and Rook. This time they saw him talking in a foreign language to the crystal beacon used to assign student squads. They were caught in the act of spying on him and when Chipz threatened to tell the other teachers about it Von seemed bothered. Mockingly, he insisted that that they really should bother Headmaster Kareeda with this information right away - and proceeded to drag them along on the charade to do so. Questioning them again the matter was eventually dropped. When the students left Von alone again she stayed behind to talk to Von, told him that it was all her idea to spy on him, attempting to clear her fellow compatriots. ^[2]

Ryder once confessed his love for Esmae who returned mixed signals.

Spirit problems[]

Esmae and Picwik both being spirits shared their problems recently with them feeling connected to all the other spirits at the Academy, including the evil ones. This resulting in them being afflicted with occasional memory loss and amnesia.^[3]

She was later so ill affected that she forgot who even Chipz and Rook were.

Stealth July 19th 11 Esmae and Vondanen — Vondanen reprimanding Esmae for playing "games"

A bad game of forgotten identity[]

To make light of the situation of her memory loss and avoid the teachers attention they pretended that the various students identities were swapped around when she mixed up who was who.

Mistakenly thinking herself to be "Chipz", the real Chipz played along with it and told his classmates to do so as well.

It didn't turn out the best way when Vondanen found out about "the game" and threatened her disobedience with demerits and as she refused to comply she was eventually given a demerit. Being saddened about getting a demerit she was comforted by Rin who told her about her true identity.

Learning it was an excuse to avoid suspicion she got upset with Chipz after figuring out the truth.^[4]

Revealing her love interest[]

She kept her love interest and obsession towards Chipz secret but revealed it to some of her fellow trusted students who found it fairly obvious. Breaking her secret she confided in Victor and Speca.

Victor tried to trick her that in order to win Chipz affections she needed to her stab him in the heart with a stake or sharp object. Even if his speech towards her was a possible attempt at dark humor she didn't seem to understand it as such.

To Speca she admitted her obsession, that she would get rid of anyone who would stand in her way as well as not accepting any possible rejection. If he didn't want her she would make sure that nobody else could have him except her either. Speca told Esmae that she was going insane and was threatened as well.

Esmae told Speca her that she would get her "stabby-stabber" and confess to Chipz openly. Speca would later relay the information to Chipz but he didn't appear to take it seriously.^[5]

Stealth Aug 11th 2019 3 Esmaes shrine to Chipz — Vevina points at (supposedly) Esmae's disturbing shrine

Going bonkers?[]

Along with her Squad mates seeing her collecting hair samples she apparently set up a shrine of sorts in Speca's room when she slept on the couch in the main hall. The "shrine" had candles, an image of herself, Chipz with a heart over his face with the text saying "Mine" below. Speca was also pictured but with her face crossed over.

When asked about the shrine she denied having any knowledge of who built it, instead she told about her family portrait having gone missing that she had placed on an original shrine of hers. Instead she pointed suspicion towards Speca having been drunk or Barthall for no given reason. Out of nowhere when Chipz stifled a laugh she weirdly asked him if he wanted her to choke him.^[6]

Inside Speca's Mind[]

TBA

Aftermath[]

Vevina situation[]

After seeing Vevina and Chipz getting closer and closer Esmae decides to take some actions.

Ymra[]

After the death of Rin in the Aldoria mission, some grieving students lead mostly by Lila convinced Esmae and Melanie to show them a way to "see" Rin, curious Esmae follows them top the lighthouse where Lila and Flora chant and incantation to let her "see" Rin needless to say Rin was already dead but what they saw was the projection of Ymra in the form of Rin, this "Rin" will mostly take advantage of Rin and Esmae past friendship to manipulate her into his own plans.

After spreading his stumps over the academy "Rin" entrusts Esmae alongside Melanie to get Arbor's shards. Esmae and Mel device a plan where they will incapacitate Arbor on the docks and shatter her shards to take them.

After facing many problems because of the Ymra visions to the extent that she was locked in the dungeons, the Academy decides to fight the Church of Ymra. Traveling alongside the Academy Esmae arrives to Camp Cari and the control of Ymra seems... TBa

True spirit form[]

After getting rid of Ymra's control and the injuries sustained against her classmates, Esmae falls unconscious and the students don't seem to figure out a way to wake her up. The headmaster alongside the students mostly from Ignis suggests that they should use fey water to help her as it worked before when she sustained injuries in Speca's mind.

Stepping inside the fey water inside of the Dryad grove helped Esmae to recuperate, but when she stabilized, a pink glow seemed to emerge from her imitating ears and a tail. Not only that, her eyes changed color to golden and she grew sharp fangs and nails. She experienced a major upgrade in force and speed as she seemed to be able to keep up with her vampire classmates and to be able to tear apart a crocodile and drowned by herself.

Powers and Abilities[]

Ability	Description
Ghost Form	Type: Unknown
Esmae can turn into a ghost and use different types of magic, like projecting herself or others into someone's mind. Contrary to other spirits like Shizuko, where only the spirit gets injured instead of everybody else, the group will keep the injuries and damage they got in the target's mind. This will generate a heavy toll for Esmae and she will need time and the help of fey water to recover.
Illusion Magic	Type: Illusion
Esmae is able to cast minor illusion magic, stated during her time as a student.
Nekomata Form	Type: Physical
	After getting rid of Ymra's control of Esmae and recuperation in fey water, Esmae acquired her true spirit form: Nekomata. In this form, she emits spirit fire from her body in the form of ears and a tail, she can also use this fire in the form of claws to damage her targets. This form demands an excessive amount of food to keep up with the expense of energy and seems to be activated only when Esmae faces what she considers enemies, as she wasn't able to activate it when persuing Narali.
