since very young, believe it or not, i’ve been a tomboy.
may look like a princess, albeit without a physical tiara, and behave like one often, but …

I am weary of skulking in halls, and wish to face peril and battle … am I not of the House of Eorl, a shieldmaiden … may I not now spend my life as I will? … All your words are but to say: you are a woman and your part is in the house.

But I am of the House of Eorl and not a serving-woman. I can ride and wield blade, and I do not fear either pain or death.

I fear a cage, to stay behind bars, until use and old age accept them, and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire.
