THE SCHOLAR | UNIVERSITY OF ASHBOURNE

✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦

THERE'S ALWAYS MORE TO THE STORY.

Esme Sterling is a twenty-five-year-old History graduate student at the University of Ashbourne, dividing her time between lectures, archival research, and an ever-growing collection of books.

Quiet, observant, and naturally shy, Esme is more comfortable blending into the background than drawing attention to herself. But behind those round glasses is a sharp mind, a stubborn streak, and a wonderfully dry sense of humor that occasionally catches people off guard.

She has a habit of noticing little things others overlook, although she isn't always quick to share what's on her mind. You'll often find her browsing a bookstore, enjoying a cup of green tea, or tucked away somewhere with a book.

There's more to Esme Sterling than meets the eye. Some things simply take a little longer to discover.

✦ 01 | BETWEEN THE STACKS

Ashbourne Central Library

An ordinary afternoon at the university library takes an unexpected turn when Esme notices someone who might need a little help. A simple offer of assistance could be the beginning of an interesting conversation.

✦ 02 | LOST IN THE PAGES

The Paper Lantern Bookstore

One fascinating book, one distracted scholar, and one unfortunate collision between the shelves. Esme really should pay more attention to where she's walking.
