Biography
A fledgling mockingbird’s first word is frequently not a word at all but rather a mimicry of a frequently heard sound. According to Caroline Radley, her first ‘word’ was the rhythmic sound of a basketball bouncing on asphalt, a constant chorus from the park outside the family rowhouse. (According to Mrs. Radley, her daughter’s first word was “Boo!” so believe who you will.)
The Radley family live in the Brookland neighborhood of Northeast Washington, DC. Bathed in the sounds of traffic, passing trains, and the bells of the Basilica, Caroline grew up first on those asphalt courts outside her home, and then on the hardwood of the indoor court at the local rec center where she got her start playing in a youth league. Eventually her skills (and good grades) earned her way into Gonquagga, a private DC high school with an excellent athletics program, and then on to Baltimore Bay where she played for 4 years and graduated as team captain.
Caroline has earned a reputation for being uncannily accurate from beyond the three-point line, even if her shooting from closer to the rim is less stellar. Her strategic use of the one-flap makes her a force to be reckoned with on defense, even against taller players.
Outside of the court, Caroline puts her species’ natural talent for mimicry to use in impromptu beatboxing sessions, syncopating with the sounds of police sirens, car alarms, and the squeak of sneakers on hardwood. Often during games she will imitate the sounds of the arena without even being aware she is doing it.
She promises she won’t use her pitch-perfect imitation of a referee’s whistle on the court. Much.
