Leslie Burke: A Rare and Remarkable Person

Leslie Burke was what Terry Goodkind (author of the Sword of Truth series) would have called a "very rare person". She had a zest for life and an indomitable spirit which could not be denied. As she once told her friend Jess Aarons: "Nothing crushes us!"
Coupled with her free spirit, she had a very active imagination, which perfectly complemented her creative nature. Hers was the kind of imagination that reminded everyone that anything is possible; as long as you keep your mind wide open.
As a friend she was loyal and as a person she was exuberant. She never complained about how difficult life could sometimes become. She always made the most of every day she had and she never spoke an unkind word to anyone. The most endearing of all her traits, though, was the fact that she never judged anyone unfairly. She always saw everyone for who they were and she never tried to fit in with the crowd. She was an individual, in the truest sense of the word. She was the very embodiment of freedom, wonder and life. Leslie Burke was truly a rare and remarkable person.
