- Well, actually, the only one of those characteristics Herself is a maybe on
- is 'suffused with fierceness' - lots of it in there, but still a tad shy
- about letting it out.
-
- What I mean by 'soul like a swordblade' is that it is bright, flexible,
- tough, sharp, and recognized as requiring maintenance. (excessive
- metaphor density? nah...)
-
- Of course, she might still turn me into a newt.
