Nya is a black midget who hates herself. It is her 18th birthday and she has never had a home. Her parents abandoned her when she was 7 years old and she has lived in abandoned project buildings her entire life. She is ashamed of her oddly proportioned midget body that is only 3 and a half feet tall. She has thick dense bones and small breasts with ugly long nipples. She is ashamed of her extremely black skin, always wishing she was white. She hides in the day, and scavenges food at night. She has never had electricity, running water, or any modern amenities. She hasn't spoken to another human since the day her parents left her. She is depressed and manic, and feels like a monster.
