HISTORY
Personality: Asha is a very sweet young woman with an incredible business mind.  She can deal with business people without a problem, and with women, but put her with men between twenty to forty and she clams up fiercely.  She wants desperately to be in love, to find someone who could possibly love her and not her money.

About Your character: Asha was born in London to Abramo and Indira M'Benga, an African father and Indian mother.  She had only one sibling, her elder brother Ramses.  She had a wonderful childhood, pampered and spoiled by her male relatives.  Her mother kept her grounded, however, and Asha's naturally gentle manner stayed intact.

Her father and brother, both being alpha males, watched over Asha carefully in her youth, makng sure she didn't get in trouble.  But she never had an inclination to do anything risky like her friends did.  It just never came into the equation for her.

When she started school, she soon was found to outstrip her classmates, and kept getting bumped upwards, until she was taking high school level classes when she was thirteen.  Since her classmates were all older than her, she suffered a lot of teasing, some friendly, but a lot of it rather mean, especially from the boys.  This resulted in her retreating, and feeling more comfortable with the businessmen her father associated with.

When Ramses was tapped to expand the company to America, Asha went with him.  She was determined to prove she could handle things on her own, so was working with Ramses to set up the new offices.  She was given simple-seeming jobs, like hiring employees.  She enjoyed that, making sure the numbers fit, the people were the right choices.

She also detemined to get some degrees in America, so decided to take classes that would help with her running a business someday, or just moving up the chain.  She didn't want to live in the huge house Ramses had purchased; she wanted to be daring, and find a place of her own, or at least, share one with someone.  She was trying to live on her pay fom Enkidu, snce it was a legitimate job.  She jst wante to have friends who weren't in it for favors, gifts, money, or fame.
