Esmerelda is a minor character in Riddle And Fate. She is only mentioned once in the first three books. She appears as a minor antagonist in Chapter 4 (Riddle And Faith)

Pre-Hogwarts
Nothing is known of her life before Hogwarts. But she probably was raised in quite a wealthy pure-blood family.

Chapter 1- Riddle And Fate
"Ardsley, Esmerelda," was the next name on McGonagall's list.

A girl with dark wavy hair stepped forwards.”

This is the one and only mention of her in that book.

Chapter 4- Riddle And Faith
She, along with Cherry Longwood and Marina Jackson,Mary out for Keeper. She goes up before Cherry, she is shown as pretty good, saving all but one goal. Near the end of that part of the Chapter, Esmerelda stuns Cherry, just before she can properly catch the ball. This is supposed to be out of jealousy.
