Shen was reading her book called:
Strong Women.
It was about four girls in their twenties who were sick and tired of being judged simply because of their gender.
There was a character in the book named Leonah.
She was the oldest at 25 years old.
She was white and had ocean blue eyes and long brown hair that was tied into a simple ponytail.
She was kinda the leader of her three friends.
She was very kind and wasn't afraid to say what was on her mind. She spoke to large crowds and lead protest throughout the story.
She was even the president of the club her and her friends put together.
Shen looked at the emerald turtle.
In a way, it did seem like she was the oldest.
She was the first to say anything to her and went as far as to comfort her.
Shen decided that they would all need names.
Leonah it is then... She thought with a smile.
Maybe this book could help her with the rest of the turtles and their names.
She read a few more pages until she noticed another character.
This girl was the second oldest at 24 years old.
She was actually a black girl with green eyes and short black hair that she wore in a single braid.
Her name was Rebecca.
Rebecca wanted to be the first female wrestler but everyone said girls weren't strong enough.
Rebecca also had the most attitude out of the four that were in the book.
She got mad very easily and was always ready to punch someone in the face. Her and Leonah didn't always get along but they didn't let that keep them from being good "BFFs" as they put it.
Rebecca was a sarcastic tough chick who, as she put it, "Don't take crap from nobody." on the outside.
But on the inside, she was a big softie.
Shen looked and saw the one with the darkest skin tone trying to shove Leonah off the rug for more space.
Shen laughed a little bit. She picked up Leonah and put her in her lap so she could sleep peacefully.
Happy now, Rebecca? She thought.
She waited for Leonah to get comfortable and then continued reading.
There was the third oldest girl named Dakota.
She was 23 years old with short bouncy brown hair.
She was white and had brown eyes and wore glasses and had a gap in her teeth. It was small but it was still noticeable.
Dakota was the smartest and loved to learn new things. She wanted to be a scientist but the world wouldn't let her.
Shen looked at the turtles again. She saw the olive toned one was sleeping with its mouth opened and giggled when she saw the gap in her teeth. It was a big gap. Impossible to miss but Shen thought it was cut.
Shen giggled a little more when she imagined her with a pair of glasses.
Close your mouth, Dakota... She thought.
One more to name.
Shen looked through her book and saw the youngest of the bunch.
She was white and had blonde curly hair and sky blue eyes.
Her name was Myra.
Myra was 22 years old and had a very fun and loving soul who loved just about everyone and everything.
She loved to laugh and eat sweets.
Myra wanted to be a teacher so she could spend the whole day with kids but the schools kept saying that a woman could never be smart enough to teach to others.
Shen saw the youngest one sucking its thumb as it snuggled up to Dakota.
It was the cutest thing Shen had ever seen.
Awwww...Myra your adorable... Shen thought to herself.
After she named Myra, she realized that the name sound alot like Miwa.
Ever since these turtles came along, she was thinking about Miwa more.
Shen started to cry quietly.
Tears rolled down her furry cheeks and landed on Leonah's forehead.
Leonah woke up.
She didn't know why she was in her mom's lap but she didn't really care.
"What's wrong, Mommy?" She asked as she sat up.
Shen looked down at big curious oceans.
"Nothing, Leonah...go back to sleep..." Shen said as she wiped away her tears.
"Who's Lee-oh-na?" She asked, trying to pronounce the new word.
"You. That's your name." Shen said as she stopped crying.
Leonah thought for a moment and then hugged Shen.
"I love it Mommy! Thank you!" She said with a big smile.
Shen hugged her back.
"Glad you like it." She said.
"Do they have names yet? Can I give them names?" Leonah asked, now fully awake.
"No, Leonah. Your sisters already have names."
"Sis-ters?"
"Yes they are your little sisters, Rebecca, Dakota and Myra." Shen said pointing to each of them.
Leonah's absolutely refused to shut.
She was too exited about her new name, her new sisters, and their new names.
Shen didn't want Leonah to wake up her still sleeping sisters so she asked for her to help her clean their new home.
Leonah nodded.
She was happy to do anything that involved moving right now...
