Interesting creative writing exercise: Observe how authors introduce a major female character. In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald introduces Daisy by having a character say, "Her voice is full of money." Here's how Tolkien introduces Eowyn: "Grave and thoughtful was her glance, as she looked on the king with cool pity in her eyes. Very fair was her face, and her hair like a river of gold. Slender and tall she was in her white robe girt with silver. But strong she seemed and stern as steel, daughter of kings."
