Synopsis

Born alongside sisters Lolicia and Bridget to two high-ranking Del Cenerens, Esmerelda was brought into a world of unrecognized affluence and the benefits that so wrought. Her upbringing was largely stable, surrounded by loving family and doting parents that each dutifully provided for their daughters - while she and her sisters engaged in much of the general friction that comes in the wheelhouse of sibling rivalry and cheekiness, the tight-knit unit left little room for resentment to fester. Rafaela was quick to expose her daughters to the life of ranching and lifestock - most specifically, horses - the likes of which Esmerelda took to nigh immediately. As such, she has immediately sought to test her mettle, and follow her mother's footsteps, eagerly throwing herself into a stringent ethic with chores and equine maintenance. (See OOC Assumptions)

Pack Member Assumptions

Del Cenerens may assume and reference the following without discussion/asking:

  • Horses are an important part of Gang culture, and Esme has taken to this responsibility without hesitation. As such, she frequents places like the Lancaster Stockyard, and busies herself with husbandry chores.
  • Esmerelda is happy to help out with minor chores involving livestock - if you have a house in Irving, she may feel inclined to help bring feed by your paddocks!
  • She is not exactly subtle. As such, her barking laugh, or snorting as a result of said laugh, are regular happenstance.

1.  Synopsis

Esmerelda de la Luz is one of three children born to two high-ranking Ashen from prominent, well-respected families: Rafaela Tejada and Bennett Braithwaite. Her chosen surname, which translates from Spanish to of the light, is a nod to deceased aunt Luciana Escuella. This follows a semi-tradition, which started with the naming of uncle Calhoun de la Cruz, of naming children after deceased family members. Each of the girls will be immersed in the world of horsemanship and hard work at a young age but are expected to be raised in a warm and loving home environment.

Summary

Esmerelda is a full-blooded coyote of predominantly Northeastern Coyote heritage with smaller proportions of Plains and Mexican genes that are likely to play on her physical traits.

To help determine her size, please reference the following ranges from her respective parents. Note that Bennett is large for his species/family and horses are an important aspect of Del Ceneren culture, so careful consideration into equine carrying capacities vs Esme's height/weight should be taken when deciding upon a set size.

Mother's Size
Lupus: 28 lbs (12.7 kg) — 24 in (61 cm)
Secui: 123 lbs (55.8 kg) — 47 in (119.4 cm)
Optime: 138 lbs (62.6 kg) — 5 ft 5 in (65 in) (165.1 cm)

Father's Size
Lupus: 55 lbs (29.8 kg) — 30 in (76 cm)
Secui: 175 lbs (79 kg) — 45 in (114 cm)
Optime: 285 lbs (129 kg) — 6 ft 10 in (82 in) (208 cm)

Esme's color palette takes more after her father's pale, sandy Braithwaite hues. But she definitely owes her eye color to her mother.
