Name: Esmeralda “Esme” Ortiz
Birthday: July 3rd/18yrs old
Personality: Having come from a life of competition and hurt feelings, Esmeralda has a tough, overprotective side but beneath it lies a heart of gold. She can be friendly to those that rub her the right way. Some have even called her a “team mom” because of this protective front. The best way to be her friend is to not put on any sort of act, because she could see right through people trying to be fake. Fakers and those that choose to put others down are bound to be her worst enemies. Despite her kindness, Esmeralda does have hotheaded tendencies and will lash out if someone does get her angry. This had given her a rap for being “rude” and “sassy.” When it comes to grades, Esmeralda is laid back. So long as she passes with something, even a C-, she'll consider it good enough. Being a straight-A, type-A isn't in her DNA, she just prefers living life to its fullest. If it even means falling down and getting a few cuts and bruises, she'll make it through.
Likes: dancing (likes a whole bunch of styles), parties, good Mexican food, bohemian fashion
Dislikes: imitators (not the drama club kind), homework, bad Mexican food, cultural insensitivities.
Looks:
• Height: 5'8" (172 cm)
• Hair Color: Black
• Eye Color: Green
Backstory: Esmeralda was raised in the northeastern heights of New Mexico. As such, her lifestyle was modest and surprisingly luxurious compared to her other Hispanic friends that grew up from lives of low income. It also didn’t help she was half-white and half-Hispanic (her father was a Hispanic musician, her mother was a Caucasian woman). Her friends who were true Hispanics denied her offer of friendship, calling her names such as “gringa” (an insulting Spanish term for a white girl). After years of having her back turned on her, Esmeralda decided trying to make friends of people with the same blood wasn’t how you made friends. You made friends by finding people who enjoyed your passions.
Esmeralda had been dancing since she was about five. She started out learning simple dance styles such as ballet and tap. Unfortunately, she got bored of the same routine. That and she hated how feet started to hurt every time she wore pointe shoes. When she turned nine, she discovered contemporary styles and fell immediately in love with how free she could be. She studied and trained in that style for years, eventually getting a spot on the drill dance team by the time she entered high school.
Drill dance had opened Esmeralda to being herself. She made a few friends, and some of whom convinced her to try out for drama club. They had said her fiery passion for what she did in performing didn’t have to be limited to just dance. Esmeralda figured with senior year coming up around the corner, a change would be nice from the whole routine of her high school life. So when applying for classes and electives, Esmeralda did something she had never done in her entire life. She signed up for the drama club.
