Nila Greenfoot had always prided herself on keeping a cool head.
She prioritized adaptability in all situations. When Jiaoying and her grandfather gave her lessons, they harped on the jeopardy of being caught unawares in any capacity.
She would never allow life, or any enemy, to say that it had gotten the drop on her! For that was far too close to defeat for her liking!
That was how she felt, truly. And that simple, but effective way of thinking had gotten her out of many dire situations and allowed her to come out ever-stronger.
The pursuit of strength was largely all that mattered to Nila. Little else preoccupied her mind aside from becoming a better swordswoman on the level of Jiaoying and her grandfather.
Her mind did not wander over that which would have been normal for her age. She had no interest in attending parties. Not drinking either.
And certainly not relationships.
