That's Stephanie, but try to imagine more dirt and messed up hair.
_________________~~~~~~~~~~~~
        It was a regular day in the Forest of Sorrow or Stephanie thought it was the forest because it looked similar to all the pictures she's seen of it before she got kidnapped. Stephanie woke up before the crack of dawn and gazed lovingly at the greatest accomplishment she had created. A spacey treehouse that protected her against the forces of nature.
The first step Stephanie took down one rung of the latter she built a cool morning breeze placed soft cool kisses upon her lightly tanned bare foot. Skipping the next few rungs Stephanie completely submerged herself in a cool morning breeze. She relished the warmer spring morning compared to the icy cold winter mornings were Stephanie couldn't wait to get back inside and start a fire in the fire pit she built.
With rabbit skin covering most of Stephanie's body leaving her shoulders, calves, hands, and stomach bare she set off with her bow and quiver filled with arrows to find her breakfast.

          Over the time Stephanie was here she got comfortable with her bow and could basically hit any target. Making her way through the forest Stephanie could smell the clean crisp smelled of pine trees. The damp soil of the forest floor made its way through Stephanie's toes reminding her that she needs to scrub her dirt crusted body( but she could go one more day ;) )
           The morning sun made its way through the thick canopy of trees illuminating her ugly dirt crusty brown hair witch she couldn't remember what color of brown it was, but didn't care.     
           Stephanie thought if she was offered a ride home would she take it? I mean she would love to see her parents and find out who put her in this place. Yet on the other side this is the only place Stephanie could really be hers-- *crack* Stephanie quickly hid behind some bushes careful not to make any noise while slipping her bow off her shoulders and taking an arrow out of its quiver.
         The crack didn't sound loud enough to be something small. Stephanie excitedly concluded that it was a bear. If she could get a good shot in the middle of it's forehead Stephanie could eat for days! Stephanie bolted up, but instead of aiming for a shaggy brown head she saw a pale face with sparkling blue eyes and a head of shaggy dirty blonde hair. Stephanie gasped, closed her eyes and heard a sickening *thunk*!
