Esper is a very attractive cheerleader. Her skin is fair, one of the features of being a Latina. She has dark brown eyes and burnt umber hair. Her visage is often covered with makeup. Black eyeliner is used to enhance her eyes; while the rest of her makeup is subtle. Her burnt umber hair is curly and goes down to about mid-back. Her eyebrows are thick and do not require much maintenance. Her lips are thinner than usual, but they are still smooth and clean. Her nose is perfectly centered. She often has fake jewel earrings in her ears to make people think that she's rich; but that's all a facade. She is very short for her age, but it is a common trait for her family to be short. She is muscular from her cheerleading, dancing, and the occasional swimming. She always wears her cheerleader uniform with her hair in a high ponytail. When she is not in school, her clothing is much more casual and her hair is down.
Personality:
Manipulative | Arrogant | Egotistical | Sensitive | Judgemental
Esperanza is the school's resident bitch. She doesn't take anyone's crap and she's unafraid to say her opinion even if it hurts other's feelings. Part of her popularity came from her intimidation, besides her looks. Her arrogant front doesn't stop her from actually caring about someone. She cares about her close friends, but she doesn't know how to show it. She has trouble with the idea of love and feelings. It's all too much for her in her opinion. If anyone were to try and get her to talk about her feelings, she'd get angry and blow up. Stay on her good side, and she won't hurt you.

History:
Born and raised to a poor family in New Mexico, Esperanza never thought she would get into Crossroads Academy. She has five siblings and lived on an urban farm. She had dreams of becoming a big star on Broadway, so she worked hard to get a good education. She grew up on harsh criticism and constant judgements from her abuela.
As a young girl, she was the playground bully and everyone was afraid of her. She constantly got in trouble but had excellent grades. The teacher decided that she should find a sport to release her anger into. That sport was cheerleading. She immediately loved it as a young girl and hoped to become one for Ohio State. After she finished elementary school, she decided to apply for Crossroads Academy. Her parents thought she was insane as they could not afford it. The school immediately accepted her and gave her a full scholarship when she won the New Mexico State Junior Cheerleading Competition.
Once she started school there, Esper rose to the top of the social pyramid. She couldn't be the "most popular girl in school" because she was afraid that people would find out that she was poor. She created an identity for herself that made her seem like the daughter of an esteemed Spanish director and model. Esper knew that after high school, she would drop the facade and go back to the poor Latina girl.She also wanted to hide her sexuality, once she realized that she was attracted to girls in her junior year. She tries her best to hide it by dating other popular boys much to her disliking. She hopes that she can come out of the closet in her final year and find someone who will love her.
