Esme
These are tattoos that have been mentioned/revealed IC
- Back: A mint green ball of yarn and two knitting needles in a Jolly Roger fashion. The words 'Knitting Keeps Me From Unraveling' surround it with the 'G' in unraveling trailing off as a thread of yarn.
Met briefly in Spokane while I was working a case. He was cooperative and not an asshole. So he's alright. Dunno why he chose to come to Gray Harbor though.
Fun. I have a feeling she's going to drag me out of my comfort zone a lot if we spend more time together.
Vaguely remember him from school. He was a year behind me. I hope whoever put him through all the shit he must have gone through is burning in hell.
Esme's mother. Retired CNA and life long Townie. She Glimmers, though her daughter and husband do not. Those who also Glimmer can sense that she has a talent for healing - or Spirit.
Grew up together, left around the same time, but kept in touch. It's good to see her again.
New partner. We'll see. (At least he's not Detective Hollywood)
Reporter. One of the good ones. I hope.
Loud. Kinda funny though. Think she's sorta like me. Serious about the job but just has a funny way of showing it.
Good Detective. Sarah's Partner. I think we'll get along alright.
Medical Examiner. Knew of him when we were both in school and now we've found our way back and in parallel lines of work. I don't think I'm ever going to stop asking myself what I've gotten myself into with this one, but least it will be an interesting ride.
Unsolved Cases - Esme has a fascination with unsolved cases, especially famous ones. She totally doesn't have a wall in her basement dedicated to tracking down the zodiac killer.
Gray Harbor PD - Esme has been in Law Enforcement for over a decade, but has recently come back home to GH, joining the ranks of the homicide detectives.
Localish - Esme was born and raised in Gray Harbor, but left at 18 to go into Criminal Justice with sporadic visits back.
Knitting Circle - Instead of drinking, drugs, smoking, etc - Esme's release is knitting. Because it's better to stab yarn than to stab people!
Esme was born and raised in Gray Harbor. Her father was a paramedic and prior to that her grandfather was a fire fighter. Her mother worked in the hospital and so all in all there was a heavy influence of working in some kind of Emergency Service field. Esme didn't want to. She wanted to be a singer, or a dancer maybe. Or even some kind of crafter. Emergency Services never appealed to her.
Until the age of 15 when she got caught shoplifting and her parents let her spend the night in the holding cell. Esme had been pissed at them but, at the same time it gave her a real inside look at how Law Enforcement worked. She obtained a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and a minor in Forensics. By the age of 25 she was entering the police academy and at 27 she got hired on to the Spokane PD. She moved up quickly - making detective by age 30. And therein, is where Esme ran into trouble.
She had no idea what she wanted to specialize in. She started out in Homicide, then went to Narcotics. Special Victims, Vice, White Collar Crimes, and while it was all just fascinating..,it was all too much. Now at age 35, she's recently transferred back home to Gray Harbor, settling in to their Homicide Division and assigned to Gabriel as his new partner.
Esme stands around 5'6 with honey brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. Her skin is tanned and she's often wearing a touch of makeup. When working, she dresses professionally in suits and the like. In her down time, it's all about comfort.

Every episode starts the same.%r%rThe sun sinks over the ocean, a ball of blood drowning in a dark, endless sea. But when it falls below the waves, it turns to a shimmering, golden circle, and the words write themselves in an elegant, black script: //Welcome to the Golden Hour//%r%rA flashing montage of images: a dead forest, the skeletal branches reaching up at a pale blue sky; a single blooming flower, trodden on by a high-heeled shoe; a cabin in the woods as the evening turns to night; a stately old mansion with only one window lit; and the silhouette of a ship, outlined against the moon. Over it, a haunting, lovely melody on two violins plays.%r%rThen the screen fades to black.%r%rAnd the show begins.%r%r(OOC: Please remember to put warnings for any content which would probably get an R rating or higher, and be considerate of your fellow players.)
