Enter stage left, Miss Esmerelda Towns, ready to
address the press conference with their multiplicity of questions. Her quick wit
and poetic tongue allow her to answer anyone regarding anything. Her golden
brown skin and her hazel green eyes make her stunning to look at and this is
part of her charm. Her curvy athletic frame makes it impossible to ignore her clad
in the classic tight-fitting world saving uniform of a superhero. From a very
young age her Latina mother and African-American father prepared her for the
life she was destined to lead. They never spared her from the truth and the
injustices of the world never went unnoticed within the walls of her struggling
household.
Esmerelda
went to an inner city school just like most other minorities in the great
United States. The real education came on the streets of her neighborhood,
inside the walls of her home, and in the dojo with the mixed martial arts master
she studied with all her life. He agreed to barter with her father. Harper
Towns was a hard-working and intelligent man. He was a carpenter and agreed to
work on the dojo any time it needed work in exchange for his gifted daughter
studying with the master. The building was old and it worked out over the years
to be a reciprocal situation that satisfied both men. Esmerelda was beyond
gifted in her studies. No matter what she applied herself to, she excelled. The
master knew a very special destiny stretched out before this talented young
woman.
Esmerelda
really excelled when it came to interpersonal relationships. From a very young
age, she could talk to anyone about anything and really connect with the person
she was speaking with. She was excellent at solving problems and with her quick
wit she was fast on her feet as well. As a young child she tended animals and
those weaker than her making sure things were as fair as she could make them.
It really mattered to her that everyone received an equal chance in this world.
As she began getting into her martial arts training around six or seven, she realized
she had special abilities that other little girls did not have. When she
practiced, especially when she was alone, she realized she could jump higher,
stay suspended longer and move in a way that was unlike even the movements of
the master. She kept it to herself for a couple years until one day the master
saw her in the mirror and confirmed what he had always suspected.
From
that day, she worked even harder to honor her destiny. She knew she had to be
stronger than all the rest. She knew that she had to work harder than everyone
else. She knew she had an obligation to the rest of the world. This is why she
was here. This is who she was. The more she focused her abilities she realized
not only did her body move differently than others, she also had the ability to
move objects around her. At first it was a shaky process but with the help of
the master, she began practicing meditation. She learned how to focus her mind.
She worked hard after school every day on her profound abilities. The master
had her also begin yoga and Pilates. He also taught her the art of Reiki. She
was able to control her qui (or inner life force) and she advanced rapidly. By
eleven years old, she had won the national conference for mixed martial arts
twice! Her parents were thrilled with her progress. They knew their daughter
was special. Little did they know how very special she would become.
