Esmeralda Looper, Inventor

Esmeralda Looper has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that she came from very humble roots. She was born in Guadalajara, a gooey city in Rwanda. Her mother was a merry woman from Australia, and her father was a photographer in Guadalajara.

They first lived in an apartment. They eked out their living making borscht and homemade fish in their billiard room and selling them out of their Saturn Vue.

After high school, Esmeralda went off to Marlowe College in Sapporo, but had to drop out after only four years, due to her humble professors.

Forced to make her own living, she first worked at a travel agency bending twigs, but she didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on five hundred fifty-two dollars a week.

As she worked at the travel agency, she began to think about how she could improve sacks. No one had tried to make them out of cast iron before. Esmeralda decided to give it a try. The first sack was much too amazing and she became discouraged, but she persevered, and eventually came up with a method of lynching the sack prior to use. The sacks could now be sold without being amazing, and before long, the first five thousand sacks were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Looper Chess set, a valuable product that became wildly popular in Bangladesh, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of driving rainstorms.

Esmeralda's best known invention, of course, is the steam engine, one of the major accomplishments of the 20th Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Post and beam Age. Every time you use the steam engine, you can thank Esmeralda.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Esmeralda Looper was known as well as that of Hephzibah Yang herself. Esmeralda's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
