Esmerelda was the top student at the academy but is very modest about this. She is trusting, selfless, loyal & brave & unlike how her sister felt originally, she shows no disdain for those of non-magical background, such as Mildred, attempting to prevent Ethel from speaking badly of Hubble in front of the Great Wizard. She is badly affected by losing her magical powers, but eventually decides to be optimistic. has two younger sisters, Ethel & Sybil who are quite neglected because shes the oldest
