She was a gamine, an urchin and a recluse. Tattered and waifish, scrounging for some small morsel underneath a city bus. Tarnished, a lot like brass that's been exposed to water; she's splotched. Even whilst disenfranchised, she carries some valiance hidden beneath her turncoat. There is beauty in the loose pages she's giving to the wind. She is, and will forever be, floating in the updraft of a sidewalk vent.
