Paints-With-Words

At birth, Paints-With-Words eyes are deep lavender with brilliant glinting flecks of many colors. Her great-great-grandmother, Amethysta, had such unusual eyes also. Amethysta had been the tribe's most beloved storyteller. Like her great-great-grandmother, Paints-With-Words does not learn to speak earlier than other children, but when she begins to talk, she paints with words, and she has an innate ability to make up wonderful stories.

For example, another four-year-old child might ask, "May I have some blackberries?"

Paints-With-Words at age four said, “May I have some berries, the color of midnight, sweet as my mother's kisses, berries washed with morning dew?"
