Strengths:
-She is an extremely talented sketch artist and is willing to draw anything for friends or even strangers free of charge, simply because it makes her happy. She can also use it to express her feelings more clearly than through speech.
-She is an excellent mediator and an excellent friend. She will often mediate arguments between friends without taking a side and is unswervingly loyal to her friends, even if they make mistakes.
-Due to her passion for reading and studying, she is excellent at History of Magic and Transfiguration, subjects many Ravenclaws even have trouble with.
Weaknesses:
-That unswerving loyalty to her friends can sometimes lead to a passivity on her part that can be a little bit sad. She feels things very strongly and can almost begin to hurt herself physically if she is very sad for very long. She forgets to eat, etc.
-She is petrifyingly afraid of heights. If she goes above a certain height (usually around second-or-third-story height) she can have panic attacks or even get sick if she is forced to keep looking down at the ground. It inhibits a lot of things she loves, mostly Quiddich. She cannot possibly play, and often has to sit at the lowest level the stands have to offer- which still often can give her panic attacks.
-She is absolutely abysmal at potions, and has finally managed to avoid it in her N.E.W.T. classes. This is matter of annoyance to her, however, and she is sometimes seen trying to make potions in her room that she never managed to master while in the class.
Plans for the Future: She wants to get a job working in the Wizarding History Museum, or the Archiving Department of the Ministry.
Personality: Esme is a kind of quiet person who normally avoids confrontation with people she cares about. She'd much rather have to agree with something she doesn't believe in then have an argument with one of her good friends. Speaking of friends, Esme is also very easy to get along with, because she's naturally observant and empathetic to other people's feelings. Many of her friends confide things in her that they wouldn't dare tell others.
That being said, the last thing anybody would ever call her is stubborn, but she can be passive to the point of emotionally unstable- though nobody on the outside would be able to see that. She learned that skill when her father passed away.
At heart, Esme is also a hopeless romantic. She keeps looking for that knight in shining armor to whisk her off her feet- even if she has a boyfriend at the time.
She also has a bookish nature that makes her a natural and transfiguration, and surprisingly enough, History of Magic. Esme is also abysmal at potions due to her trouble remembering long lists of instructions. She also has a natural talent at drawing that is almost historic- if you asked her to draw something it would only be short of a photograph because it didn't move.
The Background
Family Members: Nick Allejandro (father)
Estella Allejandro (mother)
Residence: A house in a very pleasant area outside of London, with her mother.
History: Esme's parents met when Estella went on an exchange student program to the magical school in the United States. On one of the tours of the muggle culture there, she met a dark, handsome man named Nick in a coffee shop where they made a date for her free night. After that, they stayed in touch and eventually feel in love and married.
Nick was surprised, but not terribly dismayed to find out about his wife being a witch, and agreed when Estella insisted they move to England so any children they had could have an exceptional magical education. (Estella had been born in Spain, but had stayed in England after graduating Hogwarts.) After a year of being married, Estella gave birth to Esme, their only child. She immediately showed signs of being a witch, but her father insisted on her going to a muggle School until she was old enough to be admitted to Hogwarts.
Esme loved both her mother and her father, though she was decidedly "Daddy's little girl" and was always around her father.Sadly, in the summer before Esme's first year, her father was killed in a muggle massacre outside the Muggle Prime Minister's office. This devastated both her and her mother, and they moved away from the home they had always lived in to get away from the memory.
Last year, Esme fell in love with and has been on-and-off dating Skylar Mc’Gaven and has been deeply affected by his alternate acceptance and rejection of her as his. This has made her life unstable, but she loves him deeply and though many of her friends don’t quite know how they’ve stayed together, they have and she has almost become accustomed to occurrences associated with his alternative personality, Sky.

Where did you find us: I got roped back into it by the staff here. the old crew, basically.
What is your Boggart: purple monkey holding a carrot. Terrifying.
RP Example:Esme had been looking forlornly at her dwindled form in the mirror when she had heard the news. During the months Skylar had been gone, the already thin girl had lost a great deal of weight- similar to last time, though it seemed more pronounced this time- and she had been busy pinning her skirt once again so ti wouldn't fall off her hips.
When he first had gone, she couldn't believe he would do this to her again. Esme had spent hours wandering around the castle, looking for him, thinking that maybe he was just avoiding her again. but after a week, a month, she had to accept the fact that he was gone again. And then she started losing weight, worrying Raiden and Dessy and...everyone frankly. But she didn't care- the one person she would die for was gone, and it seemed as if she was actually going to prove that point this time.
But then she heard the news. Three first years knocked on her door looking terrified, saying some strange boy was standing in the great hall asking anyone with a Ravenclaw patch to come get her. Her eyes widened, and without a single word or glance in their direction, walked down the spiraling stairs with a calm gait. Her robe, unfastened, blew behind her in the chill air filling the hallways.
When she made it to the stairs, it took no time at all for her to find the tall, slightly stringy boy she fell in love with not a week after she had met him. He wasn't looking at her, and she took that moment of unnatention to descend the staircase and, walking swiftly for the first time, make her way towards him. She just stood there for a second, eyes uplifted towards his before she let out a little sob and reached her hand out to his face, not quite touching it. "You..." she whispered, and suddenly unable to speak again, broke her steady gaze at his face to look to the side, unseeing.
It had been longer than ever. She had all bit starved herself, been unable to function- even the professors had noticed, since her normally apt and precise grades had begin to falter since the winter holidays. But she couldn't walk away. She wanted to touch his face, press her face into his shirt and sob in relief. But she didn't move, frozen in place. He was back, her soul cried. He was home.
