Personality
 
Esmeralda is very open and curious. She enjoys trying and learning new things. Due to her constant traveling, Esmeralda isn't one to stay in one place too long. Stability scares her in a way. While this may make her seem fickle, she is definitely not that. Esmeralda always makes sure to get things done before moving on to something else. She is very social and makes friends easily but she will only let someone get so close before she puts up her walls due to her trust issues. Esmeralda is very seductive and sexual, having no qualms about using her body to get what she wants. However she will only sleep with someone if she feels emotionally connected with them. Esmeralda gets bored easily and is quite restless which is another reason for her frequent travel. She knows many things and is very intelligent. She never forms an opinion on something unless she knows everything about it, not wanting to seem ignorant.

Esmeralda is rather feisty, not easily intimidated and doesn't back down from anyone regardless of who they are. She says what she wants and if she has a problem with someone, she says it to their face bluntly and without filter. She knows what she wants and she goes and gets it no matter what obstacles come her way.

Esmeralda has a close relationship with her aunt and loves reading her books. She enjoys shopping with her and usually goes to her for life advice and for traveling tips. While May worries about Esmeralda due to her wild tendencies, she doesn't say anything because she knows that Esmeralda won't listen due to her rebellious nature.
 
Uncle: Ben McKinley | Musician | Alive
Esmeralda isn't as close to her uncle as she is to her aunt for a few reasons. Ben is a bit strict and doesn't approve of her lifestyle, wanting her to be more stable and safe. They tend to butt heads a bit because of this which can lead to arguments. But they do love each other and will spend time together whenever possible due to them having a similar love for music.


Past: Esmeralda's parents died in a plane crash when she was 4. Her mom's sister and her husband took her in and began to raise her as their own in Paris, France where they lived. Esmeralda was exposed to many wonders and adventures due to their constant traveling. 

When she was 16, after a volatile relationship with her ex-boyfriend, he soon began to stalk her, eventually raping her and brutally beating her. With the support of her aunt and uncle, Esmeralda reported the rape and he was later arrested and sent to jail. Deeply traumatized by the incident, Esmeralda became more of a wild child, partying and going places to mask her pain and hide it.

After graduating from high school, Esmeralda moved out, wanting to strike out on her own. She quickly received a job as a model and dancer due to her looks and knowing many people. She also inherited a house and $100,000 from her deceased parents due to a trust fund that was set up for her.

Dominique is close to his mother and enjoys hearing about her travels despite not being one for it himself.

She tends to embarrass and annoy him with her bluntness and honesty which can lead to rather tense moments between them.

Dale worries about Dominique's career choice, preferring for him to be more stable but he acknowledges his talent and wants him to be happy more than anything.

James is quite protective of Dominique due to their rough childhood and is always there for him whenever he needs something. He likes Dominique's songs and is enthusiastic about him succeeding as in the music industry. Dominique enjoys spending time with James although they are opposites in several ways which can lead to some conflict.
 
Younger Sister: Ashley Tester | Stripper | Alive
Dominique looks after Ashley and makes sure she's safe because of her lifestyle and her job. Sometimes he can be overbearing which leads to them butting heads due to Ashley's rebellious nature. They have a love-hate relationship, usually making sarcastic jabs at each other and arguing over trivial things but are very quick to protect each other, having a "Only I can fight with them" mentality.

Past: Born as the middle child of three children, Dominique, his siblings, and his mother suffered constant abuse and mistreatment from his father. Although Tonya tried to please Brian and quell his temper, it was never enough. The abuse just got more dangerous and painful. Dominique took the majority of the abuse, wanting to protect his family from Brian's wrath.

On Dominique's 12th birthday, Tonya decided she had had enough and fled, taking him and his siblings with her. Unfortunately since Tonya's family was far away, they had to live on the streets homeless. But it was better than living under Brian's abusive eye. Dominique and his family continued to be homeless for the next two years until Tonya finally managed to get into contact with her sister Sierra who was a police officer. They quickly moved in with her and finally knew peace for the first time in their lives.

When Dominique was 16, Tonya met the man who would soon become his stepfather: Dale Rosetta who was a college professor. They married after a year of dating and Dominique began to finally experience the true love of a father. After graduating from high school, he ultimately moved out to pursue his dreams of becoming a songwriter and musician instead of going to college.

Dominique met a man named Ben McKinley after a concert and after the latter discovered the former's talent for songwriting and making music, he took him under his wing and introduced him to his niece Esmeralda which lead to them becoming roommates.
