QUOTE: 

"She was known, and respected. Or feared." (Lowry 17)

"The woman was tall and muscular, with long, tangled hair pulled back roughly and tied with a thong at the back of her neck." (Lowry 17)

"The ragged scar that marked her chin and continued down her neck to her broad shoulder was said to be a remnant of a long-ago battle with one of the forest creatures." (Lowry 17)
