Quote: Back off. I have to face enough obstacles as a woman in the business world.

Prelude

Being both Cuban and a woman guaranteed that Ewha Calderon would never be accepted in big business. It didn't matter that she attended one of the best and brightest schools in the nation. It didn't matter that she had a mind like a sharp tack and could cut through numbers and red tape without a second thought.

What mattered was that she didn't look good enough in a skirt to get a secretary's job, and her skin was a little too dusky for the white, fat-cat managers for whom she interviewed. But then, a friend turned her on to these sessions downtown called Female Empowerment and You - meetings held at an upscale bookstore. Ewha decided to go, loved it and joined the group after her first visit.

After attending several meetings every Tuesday and Thursday, Ewha got a great job as an account executive for a national neckwear company. It wasn't long before she hit the "glass ceiling," though, and couldn't get a promotion to save her life. She expressed her frustrations at a meeting, and was told that she could shatter that ceiling "if she played by the book." It required some pretty strange stuff - blood, a tattoo on her lower back, and some ceremony about something called Lamashtu. Ewha was at her wits' end, and the other women seemed normal (and successful) enough. So, she decided to try it. Two months later, she shot through the ranks like a bullet and was promoted to Vice President of Merchandising.

Now Ewha is a devotee of this "Lamashtu," even if it all seems odd. Even stranger, men and women alike seem to do whatever she says, and her once-blemished face has become smooth and flawless. Plus, an opening has opened up in Marketing. The session leader says that if Ewha just makes a few more promises and gets another couple of tattoos, that position will be hers.

Concept

The Corporate Cultist isn't evil, just selfish. While she might become an egomaniacal monster in time, for now she's just a self-interested person forever in search of more. She may or may not know that it could cost her soul.
