These are previous posts that have been dusted off, updated, and
freshly presented to an audience that’s never seen them. These limited posts
originate from the companion blogs I’ve written for the first two installments
of the Eternal Curse Series (40 Days and Nights of Eternal Curse & EC:
Battleground a Survival Guide).
******************************************************************************************
Mira
is the one. She is the embodiment of humanity throughout out the story. She
represents just how special human life is, with all its imperfections,
weaknesses, and complete lack of supernatural power. Through Mira, the reader
is reminded that even though she is, just human, she is capable of amazing
feats.
Mira
is a very serious character. She’s an academic and a businessperson, but she’s
not cold hearted. She has morals and has compassion for her fellow man. Mira’s
struggles are more emotional and psychological than Giovanni’s. Though she is
quite wealthy when she’s first introduced in the story, the reader soon learns
that she wasn’t always so fortunate.
While
Giovanni struggles to accept and love himself, Mira struggles to feel like she
really belongs somewhere. She’s constantly reaching out, many times in the wrong
places, to find a sense of family or belonging she didn’t have growing up. The
thing that’s most interesting about Mira is that, once you understand her
struggles, as much as you want to feel sorry for her, you don’t.
You
see, Mira is a very strong willed, confident, and attractive woman. You could
take the common saying and turn it around for Mira…She’s a woman’s Woman.
Everything about her, just about, makes you want to know her. She’s smart and
compassionate, and knows how to relate to just about anyone, by taking the time
to get to know them.
For
those of you who are wondering, it doesn’t take long for Giovanni to be drawn
to Mira’s body as well as her mind. She’s a 30-something black women, who’s
five foot nine, and curvaceous. She is not overly sexy and top heavy, but
subtly seductive and aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. Her skin is youthfully
smooth and espresso colored. I could go on and on, but you can image the rest
or just read the book.
There’s
no great mystery as to why my heroine is an idealized 30-something black woman.
I’m a black woman. Why wouldn’t I take an opportunity to portray such a
positive image of what, I myself, aspire to be or look for in a hero. I also
made a conscious effort to apply within this character, the types of attributes
that make for a well-liked heroine.
