a snippet of narrative you think best encapsulates their strength
* Emotional Strength
When she’s born, they tell her she’s a princess. When she’s four, they tell her she’s loved. When she’s six, they tell her she’s an Ace, and when she’s eight they tell her she’s grown up enough to actually be that.
When she’s eleven, Leigh shakes her head slightly and tells her different. She’s brown hair, usually tied up. Blue eyes, often slightly wide in anticipation. Average height. Slightly nervous shoulders that twitch when she’s thinking too hard. A slow, methodical pace of movement, most beautiful in bursts of exuberant speed.
When she’s fifteen, she tells them she’s a Two.
*Emotional Strength
She holds the girl's head between both of her hands to force her daughter to look her in the eyes. It nearly breaks her heart all over again, seeing so much of the girl’s father in the child’s shattered expression.
"Cry as much as you want for your father, princess; but do not waste a single tear for this man.”
*General
