Esme is Sam's normal younger sister.
Biography[]
Early Life[]
Esme was born around 1934 or 1935, judging by her age in 1940, and her mother died sometime after this. When Esme and Sam's father went to fight in the war, the girls were supposed to be separated, with one sent to their aunt's home and one elsewhere. Not wanting this, they escaped the train and went back to their original house in London.
Hollow City[]
Jacob Portman and his friends meet Esme when they take shelter in her house during a bombing. Esme is told by Sam to hide in the bathtub when Germans attack, as it is speculated that a bathtub protects one from a bomb. She offers to share her bathtub with the peculiars, which they refuse. Later, Enoch calms Esme down by letting her play with his homunculus. Unfortunately, his use of peculiar power attracts hollowgast, and a mine later explodes nearby. Esme and Sam both survive the blast, Esme because of the bathtub and Sam because of her peculiarity. When the peculiars try to convince Sam to come with them, Sam states she cannot leave her sister, who is not peculiar and cannot enter loops.
Like Sam, Esme most likely did not survive the war.
Relationships[]
Enoch O'Connor[]
She is the only one who seems to enjoy being around Enoch, because she liked the clay 'soldier men' he made for her to play with.
Sam[]
Esme is very close with her older sister Sam. The two's determination not to be separated led them to jump off the train that was shipping them to different places and return to their house in London.
