Seeking—
 
Jesse Urchin: female, 10-15, must be at least a little bit overweight, a seemingly unassuming girl and an unlikely ballerina, extremely flexible, well-trained, with a passion for dance, thrilled when she's accepted to the Battleboro School for Young Dancers, but outraged to discover that the videotape sent to the school was that of her mother who is a former ballet dancer, to make matters worse the innocent and naïve girl is relegated to a special education class based simply on her physique, is incensed by this atrociousness and plots her revenge, becoming tenacious and ambitious to a fault, heeds the lesson her mother has taught her throughout her childhood ("I am a warrior") and approaches her revenge with that mentality, further galvanized upon learning that the school will be holding auditions for the coveted role of Sleeping Beauty in the ballet of the same name, determined to land the plum role no matter what it takes, LEAD.
