On to business.
Tragically, my copy of Ella seems to have misplaced itself, which means I don't have access to direct quotes. Oh well. I can sum up.
Ella's father sends her to finishing school, where she has only one friend, Areida, from neighboring country Ayortha. I can't find the direct quote, but Areida's described as having cinnamon-colored skin, and her hair is a lot of tiny braids tied up into a knot. I have no idea how to draw that, but I tried... :)

| They first meet during an embroidery lesson. Areida is much better than Ella at making tiny, delicate stitches. |

| Areida is good-natured and kind to everyone, while Ella displays a penchant for vengeance. | Singing is big in Ayortha, so Areida is naturally gifted. | Later, Char stays at the inn run by Areida's family, and we see an excerpt from her diary. |
These are all from fairly specific scenes, so I'm bummed I don't have my book. I'll probably update this when I find it. Le sigh.
