"Princesses sound way too dependent on other people and they don't seem like they'd have much confidence. Why would any girl want to be that?" She's a bit skeptical on the idea, but she's relieved to hear Clementine's response. "That's good. Shieldmaidens are strong, independent women that take on any challenge that gets thrown at her, never letting anything bring her down. And they never give up, no matter what."
Astrid had strived to be that way for as long as she could remember growing up. She'd like to think she's achieved that status, but she certainly hopes this place doesn't threaten to take that pride and confidence away from her.
Just like she'd like to believe there was hope in leaving, even if the idea of really showing Stormfly to Clementine seemed outrageous.
"Thanks for talking to me. I, uh, wouldn't have expected the people here to be kind."
