A prototypical female Echani, Esmeralda Io’s delicate, diamond-shaped visage is not dissimilar from others of her species. She has heard the phrase, “all Echani look the same” muttered more than once in her presence and as pertaining to her facial features, she is indeed no exception to that stereotype. Her aspect is pale and creamy in tone, centered by a daintily upturned nose, broad teal eyes, and pouty lips which she typically paints in a matte maroon shade. Naturally, Esmeralda’s diamond-shape facial profile exhibits a small chin, wide cheekbones, and a narrow forehead. However, her face lacks some of the angularity of a typical diamond, which is instead rounded out by plump cheeks and full lips.

While Esmeralda’s facial features are quintessential for a female Echani, her physical features are much less so. Lacking the slender, statuesque, and airy frame of most Echani, Esmeralda is short and zaftig. Her frame bears expansive hips, a big bosom, and immense, steatopygian haunches. However, her form maintains a subtle, feminine musculature, especially along her midsection, upper back, biceps, and thighs. While she possesses narrow shoulders and small, delicate forearms, Esmeralda is far more physically capable than she looks.

As a Siren, she spends most of her time wearing armor, which she has customized with the addition of pink highlights inlaid into the design and a pink-tinted visor. When not on duty or deployment, she tends to favor catsuits and form-fitting bodysuits.

BIOGRAPHY​

A vat-grown soldier, Esmeralda Io was created on the Scintilla, as one of many subjects designed to fill out the ranks of the nascent Siren Corps. Trained by veteran Model 1 Nuetralizers, her flash conditioning was reinforced with live drills and combat exercises, She quickly proved to be a natural sharpshooter and martial artist a, manifesting a raw, yet prodigious proficiency in Teräs Käsi. A prototypical Echani with a powerful combat instincts, Esmeralda became the highest-scoring Cadet in her training class.

And yet, while extremely skilled compared to her peers, Emeralda needed to further develop her talents in order to become a feared and respected warrior in much the same manner as Darth Xiphos. To this end, Esmeralda presented herself for additional assignments and missions, including a raid on Hoth against remnant forces of the First Order and a boarding action in uncharted space, where she engaged forces of the Ashlan Crusade. These missions not only helped House Io secure resources, but they also served as Esmeralda's first taste of live combat, which prepared her to fight the Bryn'adûl. In what would be the final major battle against the then-declining Bryn'adûl Empire, Esmeralda was deployed to Danuta with a large force of Sirens and Nuetralizers, where she was tasked with assaulting the Danuta Super-Construct and destroying its Drael Tech Hivemind. She engaged Udomek Seker in a short bout during the battle, but she also managed to slay her share of monsters before she was ordered to evacuate, prior to the deployment of a quantum bomb by the Eternal Empire.

After the collapse of the Bryn'adûl Empire, Esmeralda fought their remnants on Honoghr in a smaller engagement. She was also deployed to Mataou to secure nuclear technology for House Io, to use against the Brotherhood of the Maw.

Only months after the Battle of Danuta, Esmeralda was deployed to Tython as part of a boarding team sent to sabotage and destroy the Avatar of War from within. After being separated from her squad by closing blast door, Esmeralda linked up with Rebecca Hahn. Working together, the two managed to sneak into the superweapon's primary engineering room, where they set charges on the reactor before being engaged by a force of Final Dawn Raptor SuperCommandos led by Joseph Torson. Their mission quickly turned suicidal, but in the chaos of the firefight, Esmeralda was unwittingly transported to the dimension of the Brain Demon, moments before the Avatar of War was destroyed by the charges set by her and Rebecca.

Ultimately, Tython was a pyrrhic victory, both for House Io and Esmeralda herself. Within the Brain Demon's dimension, Esmeralda and Rebecca were forced to pay a price for being saved from certain death in the explosion that destroyed the Avatar of War. Esmeralda was tasked with going to Ession to uncover the biological father of Darth Xiphos. Unfortunately, Rebecca was forced to pay a far greater price. Esmeralda was forced to watched as her partner was murdered before her eyes and transformed into The Deluge , an experience that left Esmeralda feeling guilty for her actions in attempting to save both herself and Rebecca on the Avatar of War. While she returned from the Brain Demon's dimension to a heroine's welcome, being promoted to the rank of Siren Ultra and bestowed with a number of gifts for her role in destroying the dreaded Mawite superweapon, Esmeralda fell into two-month long depression. During this period, she occupied herself with video games and Sith+, only leaving for food and training.

It was only when the nightmares became too great for her to bear did Esmeralda begin her quest to Ession, in order to rid her soul of its debt to the Brain Demon.

STRENGTHS

• Ice Dancer - While proficient in both the Echani and Teräs Käsi martial arts, Esmeralda is ironically far more skilled in Teräs Käsi than she is in Echani, though she is not yet a master in either one. Nevertheless she is extremely skilled in Teräs Käsi relative to her level of direct experience, having demonstrated particular proficiency in Gun Kata-style Teräs Käsi, being capable of quickly drawing ranged weapons and snapping them onto a target with blinding speed. She also possesses much of the blinding speed of Teräs Käsi practitioners, borrowing elements of Echani to lend her movements a flowy, balletic grace.
• Sharpshooter Artist - Complementing her skill in martial arts, Esmeralda is also a surgical markswoman, rivaling many Nuetralizers in raw terms of effectiveness and efficiency.

WEAKNESSES

• Subcompact Soldier - Esmeralda is extremely short, which is part of why she focuses more on Gun Kata-style Teräs Käsi rather than unarmed schools, though she is capable in the latter. Since her lack of height translates to a lack of reach, which can be a hindrance in hand-to-hand combat, she prefers engaging her enemies from range with blasters and slugthrowers. If an enemy gets in close, it is likely that she has already lost the fight.
• Stupid, but Cunning - Created to wage the terroristic, arguably insane crusades of the Black Knight, for better or worse, Esmeralda was bred to inflict violence and death upon Xiphos’ many, many enemies. Unfortunately, she knows almost nothing else outside of this life, making her rather ignorant and lacking in wisdom pertaining to life outside of such violent pursuits.
