Literally Seven Heroes 4.1: Triple-SwitchElizabeth: Legs – check. Body – check. The head is next.
Watcher: I’d always wondered what that section of the robotics workstation was for.
Elizabeth: Yay! My first servo-bot
Watcher: Are her eyes supposed to look like lasers?
Elizabeth: I’m more concerned about that kink in her waist area….there. That’s better.
Watcher: Which elder are you going to give her to?
Elizabeth: You know the Lewis-Spencer-Kim children that took in Gemma and Deon? They’re elders now. Gemma & Deon are out at work all day. This bot could help the 2 elders there?
Watcher: Done! Are you going to start another one?
Elizabeth: I’ll build the parts when I’m free but I start my new job on Friday and that’s full-time.
Watcher: Ah yes! The Scientist career. I’ll join you when Darwi’s finished her Detective career.
Sarge: Erm…I didn’t see that hug in the Witness Statement Taking handbook?
Darwi: He’s really angry. That’s right, big fella, hug it out.
Sarge: Isn’t it a bit inappropriate?
Darwi: We’ll get a much better statement now.
Mara: Hello, little Benita!
Benita: Gurgle
Mara: I’m not a great parent yet, but I’ll do my best. I’ve done all I can do in politics. I’m going to concentrate on you for a while.
Esme: There you are, Child! I knew you’d suit a blue onsie.
Benita: Gurgle
Benita: He He He
Mara: Oh Benita. Please don’t make a mess.
Watcher: Like that would work with a child that can only babble! Displacement and distraction would be my advice for that age.
Mara: But that wasn’t one of my options! How am I supposed to learn to be a parent if you weigh in with irrelevant advice!
Watcher: OK. I’ll back off.
Darwi: Come on. Make it look good! You’re my 7th collar and I’m shooting for the top job at the end of this shift!
Felon: Tell it to someone who gives a….
Esme: Argh – I’m no good with technology!
Darwi: It’s on your phone. Look! Select the entertainment option and it’s right there! Take Photo Of…
Esme: Why don’t you do it?
Darwi: So I can get the nice pink background. Selfies are hard to control.
Esme: It’s not very good.
Darwi (sigh): No but it will do. My top Detective photo!
Esme: What’s your next plan?
Darwi: Well, half the criminals I lock up have started out being homeless. I’m going to get involved in a charity to help them and make sure they all get some decent meals. Maybe they can make a better start in life.
Mara: OK, the others say they all do this, let’s drink this potion and stay young for longer. I’m going to need all the help I can get in the cutthroat world of business so I can raise money to fund Darwi’s homeless charity.
Benita: Whee!
Mara: Wow! This is great!
Benita: Bump! Bump!
Mara: Argh! Let’s not do that again!

5 Benita Alvarezfrom Fresco by Sherri Tepper
Character: Benita is trapped in a loveless marriage with an alcoholic husband who has delusions of his artistic ability which he has passed on to their over-indulged son. Benita has a perceptive mind and rages inwardly at the justice system that gives rights to those who have no regard for others. She feels voiceless and impotent. Their daughter is trying to climb out of the situation and wondering how to help her mother when Benita has a Close Encounter of a Third Kind. She becomes a spokesperson for the Visitors as they implement solutions to societal problems as presented by the politicians.
Appearance: Central American heritage
Chosen Traits: (Angelic)
Personal Note: Sherri Tepper writes science fiction with a strong eco-feminist message. Her heroines often start in quiet desperation, trapped by trying to be loyal and "doing the right thing". Fresco is a favourite, as are Family Tree, Grass and The Margarets
