• Esme was born by a widowed woman & at the age of a few months, given away to a Circus group within Castelia City.
• Was raised by said Circus group & saw them as her family. She would eventually join in in their stunts and become apart of the circus act.
• Would eventually become more curious about her parents and question the Circus group. At the age of 18, she would leave the Unova region to go to Sinnoh.
• Would state the reasoning would be because she wanted to go off on her own and not only become a trainer, but, heard that Sinnoh was a good place for accepting more artistically enabled things, like street performance to dancing and music. Plus, the circus ring leader had been a trainer in her earlier days, and she wanted to be better than her. So she said, 'cool, an awesome, dancing champion. why not.'
• Although a big reason for her suddenly wanting to go was she found a lead that her mother may have been in Sinnoh and received a blurry picture from a suspected relative.
• Still, she looks forward to starting a new journey within Sinnoh and possibly finding answers from her parents.

Trivia

• Esme can't swim. Like...at all. Actually, she's terrified of water. Not like...bubbles or something, but larger bodies, like rivers to lakes and oceans.
• Esme's least favorite pokemon are feline pokemon because back at the circus, one of the member's pokemon, a purrloin, would often steal her food and she'd often fight with the pokemon...which resulted in her with a scratched up face...and a growling stomach.
• Esme has no qualms against stealing. And by stealing, that could mean stealing food to even just swiping something temporarily before, eventually, giving it back.
• Due to growing up in a...well, a circus, Esme has various talents, some more weird than others. This can range from dancing, to singing, to her flexibility and even to her lack of fear of otherwise dangerous things. And fire.
• Esme has the habit of sleeping in the weirdest of places. She's a pretty heavy sleeper too.
• Esme's 'freak factor' of her circus act {think of things like, 'the beast tamer' to 'half woman half snake'} was her eyes. She's actually very sensitive about her eyes.
• Esme will fight other pokemon if it involves food, even if they're wild pokemon and she spotted a berry on a tree first.
