A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
-Chinese Proverb
Las Panteras is the "Anti-gang" of New Orleans. They're a group who help gang members escape that way of life because it almost always never leads anywhere. So far it has been a pretty successful group. Miguel Sanchez is the leader though Jeremy Starr helps around a lot due to his past experiences with kids. Las Panteras is up to their necks in troubled waters, but love, hope, and the fact Miguel'll thwack them if they started to give up drive them on. Someday they're bound to come out ahead and until then, all they can do is swim towards the shore. Since many are also mentioned elsewhere, their names are links leading to their description.
This I do vow, and this shall ever be,
I will be true, despite thy scythe and thee.
-William Shakespeare
Bonita used to be an Araņa and was one of the first ones we all met. She was taken in after being caught by those who went to Earth and eventually she became an ally, taking up the Las Panteras jacket.
Taneesha is pretty high up in Las Panteras and she's also one of the more protected. Ever since she was turned into a greater vampire however, she's gained a power that has driven the chaos sisters nuts...poor things. She can do a lot if she builds up her confidence. Just goes to show that attitude is everything.
Jynx is another one who doesn't fight. She used to be an Araņa as well and it really pissed off Paco when she left. But she was left for dead during a fight. Miguel's the one who stepped in and pulled her out. After that, she joined Las Panteras even though it meant leaving her best friend Lure behind for the meantime.
Lure is another ex-Araņa now and Jynx's best friend once more. She's a very determined person and can make it through just about anything if she's really determined to. She also has great powers over the undead, powers that Megiana tried to harness. That's what ended up causing Lure to leave, however. So it turned right back on Megiana.
Whip is great and thanks to the recent efforts of Lure, she can learn basic things. She's a great friend to have and loyal to the core. She helped me take care of the meadow when my pregnancy reached the later months. She's got a lot of potential to become an even greater person in the future and I'm glad that we met.
Galaxy is one of the less active Panteras and one of the ones who doesn't like fighting so much. The one fight she was in ended up getting her brother pulled back as a servant of the chaos sisters. One thing that has yet to be fixed. But it will be.
Meteor is more of a fighter than most of those listed. He's taken part in more than just one fight and one of them caused him to be turned into a Striker for awhile. That's been fixed, however, and he's back in action with Las Panteras.
And the link after takes you to where Miguel talks about Las Panteras himself cause well, even though I'm just about the expert on everything... ::smiles:: there are some things that only leaders know.
Wherever there is a man who exercises authority,
there is a man who resists authority!
-Oscar Wilde
This is certain that he alone is happy and great
who has neither to rule nor to obey
in order to be somebody
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
