== Description ==
Esmeralda Ortiz was a short 11-year-old girl that appeared somewhere around the eighth season of series 6 with Sydney and then appeared again in the "My Continued School Life" episode "My First Day as an Autistic Junior".
== Appearance ==
=== Maraya and Friends at School ===
Esmeralda was a new student that started attending her sixth-grade year at Madras Middle School with her same-aged classmate, Sydney. In series 6, she wore a blue shirt with black pants and matching boots. She also has dark peach skin and shoulder-length black hair that is pulled back into half pigtails with red-violet hairbows and bangs.
=== My Continued School Life ===
Esmeralda is now 15 years old and attends school at Northgate High School with Sydney. She has a new appearance, which is a lavender shirt with two princesses that resembled the Disney movie Frozen characters Elsa and Anna, the same black pants from the previous series, and black tennis shoes with a black or white trim. 
== Personality ==
Like Sydney, she also attended Ms. Lynette's class at Madras and Ms. Pierce's class at Northgate. Seen in the episode "Being Like Everyone Else", she likes princesses of all sorts, which is a reason why she has princesses on her shirt. She also likes coloring with markers.
== Trivia ==
* She looks just like Ms. Carolyn's granddaughter, Abby, except that she wears a different outfit to tell both characters apart and she also wears her hair in pigtails while Abby wears hers just down.
**Because of her dwarfism, she and Abby look like fraternal twins (they would both look like identical twins if the creator didn't change Esmeralda's outfit).
* Because of her skin tone, she might also be from Mexico, too, like her classmate, Angel.
* She first spoke in the episode "Being Like Everyone Else".
