Esther Mei
Age 16-18

Family History
Esther Mei is the sole heiress to the (surname) business empire , a family run business specializing in pharmacology. Their fame in the medical world is preceded only by only by their notoriety in crime. They use their multimillion dollar empire to monopolise trade in their country. They also control the very production of the drugs they develop so they can reap in the profits. The company is also very active in the stock market and has strong control (or at least influence) over it. This is done largely through blackmail, since they control about 78% of the nation’s drug production. They are considered by some to be the most powerful people in the country, having received diplomatic immunity from the government (since they are needed for their expertise in the production and development of medicines and besides they help flow the cash in). They are also known to be as cruel and as ruthless as any mafia. They are used to getting their way and getting away with it. It is no surprise then they exploit the very metropolitan city they live in, which was corrupt to begin with. (their other crimes include trading medicine to underdeveloped but resource rich countries for shares in companies, land rights businesses deals etc and exploiting people in the worst possible way.)

Background
In the midst of it all, Esther is a forlorn girl who grew up learning the value of money and spending the last 11 years of her life being molded into the perfect tool. Her mother is the current head of the business empire since her father was suspended due to madness. By right Esther should have taken over as she has the fortune written in her name, but as she’s underaged, her mother has used her position as her parent to bring the company under her control (instead of leaving it in the hands of her husbands colleagues). As heir, Esther is constantly under lock and key, following a deadening routine to fashion her into an elitist. It doesn’t help that her mother somewhat despises her and makes her life hell because she is jealous. On top of that, people who do not like her family tend to take out their hatred on her. She goes to a snobby private school where even the rich kids call her a ‘rich bit*h’.
At home she has to deal with rude servants who hate serving her family but otherwise fear her mother’s authority.(they single her out because they don’t see her as the boss yet and her mother does nothing to rectify this behavior). She deals with their insults and loathing by keeping an arrogant demeanor to prevent them from getting the better of her. To others who don’t offend her she can appear to be civil and polite yet somewhat cold and blasé. Inside though, she often feels the burden of all the pain her family has caused and feels somewhat responsible. She often lacks the confidence and decisiveness she portrays to others when it comes to herself since she is not completely immune from the hurtful way people treat her. She hides this by being cool and reserved, so much so that she appears to be under her mother’s thumb like anyone else.
She longs to have freedom to live according to her conscience but concedes that she is at least better off than most people subject to her family’s tyranny. (If this was a manga there’ll be a scene where she is being driven in her own limo while having a conversation with her mother or something like that…and she sees a large screen on a building like they have in KL or Singapore showing children from impoverish nations with ragged clothes smiling and wonders outloud why they seem happier than most people who live in the city. Maybe it’s because they are free. Her mother/or her boyfriend would say some retarded crap like there is no such thing, people have responsibilities such as paying taxes, dealing with the living expenditure, and even struggling with meaningless jobs in order to survive. Money is the only way out of that life. Those people are probably smiling because they know they are facing death and have no more worries. Esther will be disturbed by that but silently agrees. Maybe dying is a preferable option than having someone manipulate your life. )

The formation of the RAFA roleplay
A strange turn of events that followed saw Esther develop into a crimeboss long before her coming of age. It seems that the production factory had an underground workers union comprised of the immigrants from the poorer nations and also the lower classes of society. They formed a rebel group that occasionally sabotage plans and stuff and smuggle drugs to needy countries. They were poorly organized, however when the leader took a liking to Esther and she took their side secretly and began planning and strategizing for them. Under their combined guidance the group was beginning to be a force to be reckoned with until the leader was killed by a hitman sent by none other than Esthers own mother. This sobered up most of the workers but quite a few remained loyal to Esther without knowing who she really was. The lost of her friend made Esther lose direction for a while until she met 3 other friends who helped her stick to her principles and gave her some confidence back.

Her current status
Now she uses skills she has learnt from family members in preparation for business, namely negotiating, blackmailing, exploiting, conning, kidnapping(VIPs, no children) to rob and sabotage her own family’s business. She has since developed a special school/institution to train (corporate spies),spies, assassin etc for this purpose seeing as the authorities are either part of the system of corruption and abuse or are too scared of Esther’s anyway since the they are above the law. They have caused so much commotion her mother became more occupied with business that she was hardly around anymore to control her and so the servants and workers had to pay more respect to her and begin to her accept her authority. Gradually she began to take charge of minor businesses which she uses to fund the school and gradually add to her funds where before she could not make any decisions based on money. And so began her life of crime

Goals
In reality, not all her family members are aware of how badly their business is affecting the people working for them. Being the talented businessmen that they are they simply do what will bring in the most money and allow the lower levels to carry their decisions out. The people who enforce these decisions vary from those who are seeking power, those who want to advance in life, those who thrive on other peoples pain or greedy people. The family members vary among themselves as well. Those who are aware of what they are doing are just as bad. Some however, are just plain ignorant or have accepted that business is just full of corruption (given the state of the city they live in). Others still will just do what they can to elevate some of the injustices by being fair themselves, but will do what the head of the family/corporation will tell them to do or fall victims themselves along with their own family. Thats the price of integrity for you. Esther’s goal is to sort out the bad ones and destroy their businesses and if necessary wipe them out. Her main nemesis is her mother’s new boyfriend who was her father’s colleague. He is manipulating her status and power while she is using his expertise to run the business. He understands completely how the business runs and human rights is not something that concerns him. He is in charge of all the petty crooks and has dealings with the mafia.

Plot
In fact, Esther’s father’s will states that if she is to inherit the corporation, she must earn 1 billion dollars before the legal age limit or the corporation will go to the next suitable candidate. (which is her mother’s boyfriend). (1 billion isn’t much cos they are a multibillion corporation. It was originally designed to test that she had at least some business sense not to lose money over a certain amount of time.) To prevent this from happening the both of them prevented Esther from having authority over any of the family’s business. But as it is Esther is gradually getting some control over small businesses and generating income (secretly). However, she must be very careful not to let her true identity be discovered and risk losing support while at the same time try not to get killed by hired assassins while doing her job

Homework

Uni wasnt so bad and neither was the nude thing. It was a girl. A women actually. Really nervewreaking since we are not allowed erasers and we have to draw poses over poses. From sitting position to standing up. So u can see the figure on the paper sort of moving up. Or blossoming like a tree if that makes sense. Each one in 15 mins. She stood in a frame and we had to draw that too.

Remember when I said drawing in that studio made me really self-concious? Well today I didnt have time to. The next session was when we posed for 20 minutes in 10 different poses giving us 2 mins to capture each pose on paper. I'm kinda pleased on how my drawings turned on the 'Extreme perspective exercise.' U have to exaggerate parts of the body in order to convey the POV of the viewer. That exercise was interesting for another reason because everyone was sitting around the model, and when we got up to look at the different drawings we could see the same pose from different angles. I didnt like the continous line exercise. The pose was really relaxed and graceful but since I didnt have the experience at NOT LIFTING MY PENCIL FROM THE PAPER WHILE TRYING TO DRAW SOMETHING GRACEFUL AT THE SAME TIME i didnt manage to capture the gentleness of the pose. Drat. I actually enjoyed that class. Glad I didnt chicken out. Kinda makes me sad bcos this is the only week of figure drawing in the studio. I actually did help me to develop skills in drawing. Never really tried to draw realistically before because I thought that making those drawings look beautiful required talent which i didnt hav. Now I realise that I have not been pushing myself hard enough. They are really good artists in the class.

And we got a major assigmment due on Monday. Great. I hav another one that i'm starting tomorrow. Its a free day so me and an architectural gang are going to the Zoo. Nono we're not goofing off. We've each been assigned animals and mine's a'Regent and Satin Bower birds, Channel Billed Cuckoos'. Longest name on the list. We're doing site planning. After one lecture. Geez. The Rod Steward guy is obssessed (not bcos of the assignment, i was prepared for that). He's our lecturer. He dresses like a 50's rock star. Today he wore a denim jacket. it wouldnt hav been so bad if it werent for the studs.

Oh yea, my mom picked me up late today. My fault. We argued over the venue and there was some confucian. I waited and walked around for about an hour and 15 minutes and then walked to college to use the phone. I could have used the bus or walked all the way back. But my nature betrayed me. Ho-hum. At least I got to catch up with some frens. Thank goodness for good buddies.
