" Because if I was doing the right thing, if I was following all the goodness I believed in, that was good enough. I didn't care how much Little Lion yelled at me or hated me, or how much I reminded him of his last Bruja; I would treat him like a person. That's what I believed in. That was who I was. I wouldn't let anything - pretending to be a bruja, my town's disdain or Little Lion's anger - rob me of myself. "
