Senora Scorpion
Creator: Tom Johnson
Characters
Senora Alsiara Perez
The Spanish possession of
California, late 1700s.
Riding a Pinto
pony, Senora Scorpion was dressed as a caballero, wearing dark pants and
jacket, with silver sequins running down the legs and arms. A wide, black
sombrero, crested with silver buttons topped her head, and a black mask covered
the bottom features of her face. In her left hand was a fifteen-foot bullwhip,
and a deadly sword was grasped in her right hand. She feared no man, and
willingly led her small outlaw band against Spain’s soldiers.
Senora Alsiara
Perez is the owner of a small café in San Francisco de Asis. She is a handsome
young Mexican woman, wearing a large sombrero and brown riding suit. Her
husband and family had been killed by the Spaniards, and her land stolen.
Alsiara’s father had taught her from childhood to ride and use both sword and
bullwhip, and she was master of the blade and whip.
As the Scorpion,
she was an outlaw, robbing from the Spaniards, whom she wanted to drive into
the sea and free Mexico from Spain’s yoke.
