once upon a time...

Once upon a time, there was a girl born in a land called Stoney Creek. People came from lands near and far to greet her and to marvel at her already evident potential for awesome. Because of the significance of her birthday, instead of fairies coming to cast spells, Jedi knights came by instead.

"She shall be witty and charming and make people laugh wherever she goes," claimed one Jedi.

However, one Jedi was not so nice. Seeing the fantastic blessing bestowed on her, he decided that he must do his best to counteract it.

"Perhaps, these things shall come to pass," he said ominously, "but she will be so socially awkward and tactless that her wittiness will be met with confusion, her charm will be met with pity, and her humour will be met with nervous laughter. And so, despite her gifts, she will be continually self-conscious and insecure."

As the ladies and gentlemen present gasped, the Jedi quietly left the room. Thus began the adventures of Esther. As she grew, she become more and more aware of the raging spells inside her. The spell from the second Jedi has yet to be broken, but with every adventure, she gets a little more power to battle it.
