Here, Gentle Reader are the notes and thoughts that began Alexia Tarabotti…
“Many a gentleman had likened his first meeting with her to downing a very strong cognac when one was expecting to imbibe fruit juice – that is to say, startling and apt to leave one with a distinct burning sensation.” ~ Soulless
“She was the type of woman who, if thrown into a briar patch, would start to tidy it up by stripping off all the thorns.” ~ Blameless
General Description: Black hair, slightly curly (usually worn up), tan skin tone (coffee colored), large dark brown eyes, nose on the large size (Roman-hook), generous mouth, tall, and very curvy.

Other things to note: arches eyebrow, talks a lot, very animated, gesticulates with her hands, mostly sarcastic or suspicious, not smiley.
