Black Stone

*WARNING* Character bio may be considered somewhat graphic

When she was alive, her name was Esmeralda Stella Crossworth. She was orphaned at a young age when her wealthy parents were burned alive in their bed by a jealous waiter. She was sent to live in an orphanage where she had no friends and was treated unfairly by the caretakers. Her only escape was visiting the Black Stone Pond outside the orphanage. When she was 11 years old, she was mysteriously pushed off the dock and, never having learned how to swim, she drowned.
She 'awoke' in the streets of Halloween Town, shocked to realize she was dead. She meets May (Jack and Sally's daughter), whom she quickly befriends. May introduces her to her parents and they try to find a home for her. When they fail, they decide to adopt her and she becomes May's sister.
Knowing for sure that her death had to be intentional, Black Stone (the new name she goes by in Halloween Town), May, and their parents must find out who killed her.
