Read the description below. Who does this describe?
She held her pale slender hand up, brushing the wayward curl away from her face. Not that it made a difference, her hair was a constant riot of curls that fell past her shoulders, a fiery bush of a thing, refusing to be tamed. Her eyes, like the blue waters of the Maldives, wide and bright, as she scanned the dining hall. She brushed a stray crumb off her hunter green velvet dress, trimmed with gold, as she strode purposefully down the castle hallway.

Read the description below. Select the best answer.
The boabab tree was reaching towards the sky, almost grazing the clouds above. Diminutive trees were sprinkled over the green grass, with dashes of pinks, purples, and whites on one bush, a splash of colour. At a distance, tall, white, pointed tents scattered along the pavement, providing much needed shade. Though the sky is bright, dotted with cotton candy-like clouds, darkness was looming ahead. Will the thirsty plants finally get the fill they need?
