History

Esmeralda was the four daughters of Adalgrim Took. She married Saradoc Brandybuck, making the Master of Buckland Rorimac Brandybuck, her father-in-law. She and Saradoc had a son, Meriadoc Brandybuck

She attended the Farewell Party of Bilbo Baggins in S.R. 1401 with her family.[1][2] When Bilbo disappeared, Master Rorimac attempted to calm her, saying that the "Mad Baggins" just left for another adventure.[3]

Later Esmeralda herself became mistress of Buckland and of Brandy Hall. Her older brother Paladin Took II also became the Thain. Her son Meriadoc was cousin with the Thain's children,[2] and especially close friends with his cousin Peregrin Took.[4]
