Esmire

Back to Characters Having one's past memories spoken aloud can be rather daunting. - Esmire consulting Malum during a secret dialogue sequence.

Esmire Couturiere, A.K.A. "The Seamstress" or "Aunt Ezzie", is a third-party Clothing Designer, Tailor, and Seamstress with whom The Agency outsources the production of clothing to. She was picked up and placed under watch on the recommendations of B', who knew her and of her skills. Through The Agency, she has crafted and assisted in creating many of the Coats that Kitsune Wilde uses on her missions.

Appearance
Esmire wears a dark green shoulder cape with a v-shaped hood overtop a light tan button down blouse and a long dark green skirt. Though her clothing choice may change, she will generally keep the shoulder cape with her hood on. Aside from her clothing, she has just below shoulder-length chestnut brown hair as well as bright cyan eyes that are often hidden under her hood. Sometimes she wears cyan lipstick to cover up her rather desaturated and darkened lips.

Abilities
Esmire is an experienced mage that is extremely adept in enchantments and drawing the powers out of abnormal materials, allowing her to weave almost any kind of magic into the clothing she fabricates. The main magic she performs outside of work are Sound based and include interdimensional communication, surrounding herself with music that soothes those who hear it, creating sounds both hallucinogenic and real, recording, replaying, and modifying audio, and in a very literal form; creating a physical "Echo" of herself to repeat her actions with allowed variances. Of which, the "Echo" can be seen in her Character Portrait as a cyan blue phantom behind her. Though she has not needed to use them for a long time, she is skilled in both single and dual sword combat as well as being a crack shot with her trusty flintlock pistols. She would often use her "Echo" in combination with the swipes of her blades and pistol shots to dominate key targets on the battlefield with overwhelming numbers of attacks. Both her dual dress swords and her many flintlocks rest locked away in a glass display case at her home.

Personality
Esmire is a naturally kind and considerate person, always greeting a friend with a gentle smile. She has an air of tranquility around her that is not often seen in Kit's line of work, and it seems to spread to those that interact with her. She has expressed concerns over many problems between employees, Contractors, etc., and has done her best to help work things through, going so far as to hold therapy sessions to those willing to reach out to her or accept her help. Eventually this ended up with her becoming someone that Kit and other contractors can call on to be a psychological counselor for missions. Even if she does not make herself known, she is often listening and watching out to make sure they are stable enough to continue. Ever since learning of different worlds and times, she has been diligently examining fashion trends and interesting materials from every point, eager to learn and be dazzled. She greatly enjoys music and the many types and genres it holds but prefers to listen to slower Orchestral music from 1930's America when alone. Often times she will be working away to it playing from her gramophone which was gifted to her by The Agency, explaining why the player hears music when she contacts them.

Affiliations
An old partner of mine, one could say. - Esmire referring to B' during a secret conversation. Esmire is generally seen as a non-threat to most due to her caring nature and pleasant personality allowing her to get along well with many of the Contractors. She is in particularly good relations with Griseus and Akane, as well as being friends with B' (in a way) for a nearly a third of her life.

Lore
Currently, she is only seen in difficult to find secrets with strict conditions. As such, there is not much known about her to the player or Kit other than what people mention through word of mouth.
