Ok, but then how can your will be unique? What makes my essence quintessentially "gib" and your essence quitessentially "Mongoose"?

No two have exactly the same personality so that is your essence

Early on I made mention of memories being erased before the soul enters a body (I have no idea why, but Ecmandu says we sign up to live through contracts throughout eternity- often Truth is stranger than fiction, assuming a newborn's body), however I may remember a bit more than most and lack complete understanding of that too.
Our essence can change. It can grow and evolve.
But it can't always succeed when it's put on the back burner or left in god's incapable hands.
Personalities and behaviors can grow and evolve, but not the essence of your soul.
What you choose to do with what you have available is the change you are referring to but it doesn't transcend lifetimes as a new you, the essence of the original you remains a fixture that can't be denied.
I wonder about this Wendy. If we are capable of change in the above regard, how could that NOT change our essence?
