You're a bloodthirsty character, aren't you?" "I don't…
““You're a bloodthirsty character, aren't you?" "I don't know," she said honestly. "I've never had the chance to find out. I'm pretty sure I would fight if I had to, though. I wouldn't give in, or flinch and cry and faint. People don't think girls are brave, but I'd love the chance to try... just once, perhaps; just once, so I could know what it was like to risk my life and fight to the death. It's not that I want to kill people, it's that I want to find out about me . I'll never completely know about myself unless I try.””
