Esme became the host of the Love Totem due to strong love her mothers had. This made her the target of Nyxly and Lex, who needed the totem out of her. Which they were able to retrieve and then later trade back for the remaining totems.

Powers and abilities[]

Powers[]

  • Dyralian physiology: Esme's physiology grants her certain powers.
    • Power mimicry: Esme can mimic the biological abilities of those around her, though only briefly. Due to her young age she has little control over this and may do so by accident.[1]
    • Power sensing: Esme can sense the powers of others. Even at her young age, this is accurate enough to differentiate between individuals as she was able to sense Kara's powers, and quickly identified Kara as Supergirl.[1]

Mimicked powers[]

Season 6[]

Trivia[]

  • In "Hope for Tomorrow", Alex states Esmé will be officially adopted by her and Kelly by a year's time; a few months of fostering and paperwork needed done first.
  • J'onn is her honorary grandfather.
  • Esmé is good at keeping the Superfriends' identities secret, even when under stress. When Lex and Nyxly attack her mothers in "I Believe in a thing Called Love", she yells for Supergirl instead of "aunt Kara".
  • Esme owns a stuffed, formerly one-eyed zebra named Luvy and a camera gifted to her by James Olsen.
  • Esme's name means "love," foreshadowing her connection to the Love Totem.
