Rory literally had a style all her own. Like most four year old girls, she was most interested in being drawn as a mermaid. But Rory had a few special requests. Her favorite color was green, and not only did she want a green tail and top, but green lips and hair too. Her mother instantly approved and I quickly realized this was no ordinary little girl. We talked for a while, I found out she dressed up like a Skeksis for Halloween. They're a creature from the movie The Dark Crystal. You know, one of these guys:
This year she's going to be a werewolf. Not a princess or a kitty...a werewolf!
It was incredibly encouraging to encounter a child so boldly embracing her individuality. She was completely unencumbered by conformity, and she had the full support of her parents. We need more Rorys in this world!
