"Pose! Perfect! Now more pouty lip! Good!" The photographer barked orders at me. I just listened to them and did what he said. I am Tara Belrose, Model for Empress fashions. Actually let me rephrase that. TOP model for Empress fashions. Or at least I was. It was just another normal day. I was dressed in the latest Empress fashions, a deep blue  ball gown with a slit going from the middle of my leg to the end of the dress, some blue stiletto heels with little diamantes on them and a diamond hairpiece in my bun. The photographer was taking photos of me for my latest fashion shoot. The door to the studio opened and there stood my boss. She signalled for the photographer to stop "I need to talk to you" she says in a menacing manner. I walk with her to her office. She looks at me and sighs. "I don't know how to say this." She looks sad. "Management has seen your latest photos for fashion week and... um... they... don't like it. They think your losing you 'umph' as they put it, that you had when you were 17." I know where this is going to lead. "You're fired" Even though I saw it coming, I feel like someone has punched me in the gut. The wind has been blown out of me. "I really am sorry-" she goes to hug me but I push her away. "Forget it I understand." I walk out of the building and down the street, the breeze blowing in my hair, making me forget about my worries. Until my phone rings. I answer, and its my boyfriend. "Oh thank goodness its you" I exclaim. "I need to tell you something" There's a short awkward silence. "I'm sorry Tara I cant do it anymore." What! I think. "I-I need some alone time. Its over. I'm sorry goodbye." Before I can say anything else, he hangs up.  And suddenly that awful feeling of rejection is flowing back into every inch of my body. Suddenly everything goes black, then all I can see is a man in a purple suit, with butterflies surrounding him. "I can give you the power to seek your revenge on those who have wronged you. On one condition. You must get me the miraculouses of Ladybug and Cat Noir. " I cannot resist. "Everyone will want me now!" he grins. "Good. Modzilla! go get them!" The vision goes away and all that is left is me.  But a new me. No one can escape me.
