At First Glance

~Appearance:
First things first, Esperance looks absolutely nothing like her father. She is, however, a striking image of the other half of the gene pool. Though tall and willowy instead of gracious curves, Esper doesn't have much of the sleek elegance her mother has. She stands at five foot six with light skin and an oval face. Her almond-shaped, coppery eyes and small nose are due to her mother’s South Korean lineage, but the light complexion is from her father. Her hair, dark brown in colour, is naturally straight and falls to mid-back. She maintains the length for warmth, but often has it tied back when she has more important things to think about than having long hair everywhere.

Personality:
There is a lot that can be immediately told from Esper’s personality. She’s a good leader, with a fiery personality and a tendency to be incredibly stubborn, but she will retreat from danger if the odds of winning are slim, as she knows that it is best to prepare and live to fight another day. Esperance has a powerful attitude against people, and can voice her opinion rather strongly. She knows that a good leader can take suggestions and constructive criticism as a way to improve themselves, but emotion can get the best of her, and she has a tendency to get out of hand with people who intentionally piss her off.
Esperance has a dry sense of humour, and she can be light hearted and even witty when the situation allows for it, but she is also quick to drop a smile and take the situation seriously when it is called for.
In a fight, she is naturally agile, stealthy, and although she can be considered physically strong by female standards, she’s not particularly strong in comparison to others, so her style of fighting largely centres on holding a defence and using evasive techniques to find a weakness in the opponent’s defence to make a swift, pinpointed attack. Esperance is knowledgeable in using tactics in battle and guerrilla warfare, and she does not fall into the danger of overestimating her own skill or underestimating her opponents.
Esperance is, on the surface, a decent and loyal person, but she is not above being cruel, destructive, and treacherous, or playing a sinister game of advancement at the expense of others. As the leader of the Syndicate, Esperance has had to cut a few throats and make a few empty promises to get to where she is now, and she also knows that other people are not above doing the same. She watches her back for the shadow of a raised knife, and doesn’t allow any of her followers to gain too much of a power base or acquire too much of her knowledge in the suspicion that they could acquire too much to use against her. Esperance believes in herself because faith in others is rare to her. She is likely to go on reconnaissance missions alone unless multiple people are necessary. She has always relied on her own wits and skills to survive, and she must continue to believe that she can, or else she will succumb to the depredations of others trying to scramble up the social ladder.
Esperance is wilfully deceptive in order to protect herself and get what she wants. She can be highly manipulative, using her appearance and gender to the weaknesses of men, as she can quite quickly figure out what individuals want and use their motivations against them.
She is very clever, observing rules of society and law and breaking those she can get away with, whilst making sure those that benefit her are reinforced. Esperance only takes calculated risks, as she knows that only those with a death wish put themselves in situations that are likely to turn against them.
Super confident, headstrong, and disarmingly forthright she tends not to use subtlety when wanting to find something out. Esperance knows that to get to the top in places like The Syndicate, she doesn't just have to be as good as any man... she has to be better.
