Friendly Thursday: Esmerelda

Esmerelda doesn’t have time for your nonsense. She’s busy deciding on the latest fashion trends and working to keep Subeta looking stunning. Details of the populace’s incompetence do not interest her.
But many things displease Esmerelda. Many MANY things. You’d have to try really hard to get her to stop what she’s doing and focus on you, though. If you can figure out what it is you have to do to grab her attention, be prepared for a one-on-one appointment with the most scathing personal critique of your life. That’s all.
Once you unlock Esmerelda, she will appear in the Secret Tab.
Unlocking Esmerelda is not limited to just this month like with our Throwback Challengers. While we'll continue releasing a challenger on the second Thursday, you'll have plenty of time to unlock them.

I literally rainbowbarfed my HA. Apparently, you gotta put rainbows in your HA for it to work.
Thank you to everybody who put spoilers on here, This is the craziest HA I have ever done but it worked so thanks again.

I just opened my wardrobe, sort it by adding on Subeta, go to last page and equip maximum of items (30). Then go to SBQ and get her. Ez.
Don't know, if I get it because I had REALLY lot of items on myself, or because they were too old...

SORRY BOUT THAT. my current HA got me a challenge, and five wins drops Esmereldas designer bag and fashion magazine prototype


Based on another Subetan's rainbow outfit, I tried my Pride one: This outfit is private
Spoiler (click here to toggle)
It worked. I'm guessing it's more than one item, something to do with rainbows or a whole crapton of colors all at once, and having a Subeautique invite redeemed

XD! That was fun! XD I put the first 30 items I had alphabetically organized on, went in, and got her! :D
Now, if only I could figure out how to get the other friendly challengers.
If anyone can help, can you send me an sMail please?

I've been trying everything suggested. Finally moved my lights to the top and redeemed an invite. Got it. :x

This tossed together outfit worked for me easy peasey.

Lol, I just went to the Subeautique to check out new items and found Esmeralda as an hidden opponent! Maybe she enjoys Legend of Korra as well! XD Or she just likes layered clothes :D

well I threw on a bunch of different colors of the
and it worked! It didn't work with only 6 but it did with 9





wow is it just me, or is her prize (the one that we can't afford) a little out-dated? and how long has she been wearing that dress...hmm :P
oh, but i guess i'd better not say that too loudly, she'll probably never drop another invite for me ever again...
thanks for the challenger and new items :) and thanks to everyone putting their brains together to figure out how to unlock her, i'm usually way too lazy and skip to the spoilers XD

I spent a looong time refreshing a tab I had opened to the Subeautique when, apparently, I should have been on my currencies page going there directly. Same outfit but I had closed my tab, went back to my currencies page to re-open the Subeautique, got the challenger, so I do believe that made the difference.

Got it wearing this: This outfit is private

Older items might have something to do with it, since fashion is always evolving and she even retires older sets from her shop pretty regularly. So I guess one of the requirements might be wearing items that are at least a certain number of years old or something (or older item IDs), but I'm not sure what the other requirement would be.
I have unlock her and I see, my pet winns easy, from her, because she only talks. LOL!
I have always believed she would be a very hard opponent like the squirl or the item hunter.

I just chucked on a bunch of the oldest items on site that I have, and that seemed to do it (sorted my wardrobe by 'time added to site' and 'ascending' and only wore things from the first page). I don't think it was anything to do with colour. It might be old items in general or a particular type.



Still no solution? It's either pure evil genius or deceptively simple.
New theory?
@Muerte's working outfit and tips have me scratching my head, as it disproves a lot of theories. I can't see any colours unless they meant "arid" and "angelic"? But the only item in the outfit I used that'd fit a Subeta/ colours theme says "grave" and not "graveyard" and a lot of other reported working outfits don't seem to fit that either.
Maybe it's something the outfits don't have? Like: "9 or more items and no shoulder layer" or something along those lines?

From what I've seen, you probably need to be wearing a bunch of VERY OLD items (like the sui makeup) to trigger her

"Esmerelda tells you exactly what she thinks of your personality, your intelligence, your aptitude, your appearance, your fashion sense..
Esmerelda thinks your face could use a slight alteration."
Oh, she's going to be fun to slap around a bit.

Seems to be whatever you toss on. I tossed on a bunch of random items, and I unlocked her. Buy a SubQ Invitation (or use one you've got lying around) and go visit her. She'll pop up as an unlocked hidden opponent!! As long as it looks like a tornado hit you, she'll pop up, I'm sure.
-Just use whatever's in your wardrobe.
-Apparently you don't need to use rainbow but go ahead to make your outfit pop.
-Doesn't matter what layer it's on; it seems any layer will trigger it.

@Deza you get drops all the way up to two hundred. I got a Tome. Sometimes with Johannes and with her you get nothing. I don't know if this is intentional or not.

just went in and got her with my usual getup

After I tried every outfit that I have saved in my wardrobe (I've got no fashion sense at all), I used the suggestions of this thread here.
So, I haven't figured out the exact requirements, but it worked :)

MORE TIPS BRUH
The HA I posted below to unlock her:
1. Had no Sui items on it
2. Wasn't rainbow
3. Didn't have repeating words
4. Ignored colors, except
5. Did not have 30 items, or even two on one layer

Whoops, should have added this to my other comment!
In addition to the four liquid liners, the other items were Purple Body Glitter, Individual Lashes With Glue, and the Candy MaiShadow Kit.
Spoiler (click here to toggle)
I put on exactly 30 items. Doesn't matter which ones, although I'm sure it helps if they clash.


Here's what I did.
I only had 4 of the Sui Liquid Liners, so I tried piling on a bunch of other makeup items from the Grooming Parlor. That worked!

Theory
Maybe she hates rainbows? It seems like every person who unlocked her either had rainbow items or a TON of different colors on.
