One of my favorite characters of all time. A young girl, challenging all cultural norms--about being female, about being white, about living in the south, about life. She inspires me and reminds me a little of my younger self.
...of my true self.
That spunky, loud, rough-and-tumble girl. That girl who questions and feels deeply, for everyone and thing. The one whose imagination takes over and gets her adrenaline pumping, allowing make-believe to meet reality. The one who gets stuck in a ridiculous, giant ham. The one who trips, falls, and stumbles around until a faceless, nameless someone helps her up and out of danger. The one who embraces the phantom as family, whole-heartedly and without question.
Scout. I love her.
