| 949a757 | There was a poem scribbled at the top of the Ashryver family tree, as though some student had dashed it down as a reminder while studying. Bright blue eyes, ringed with gold.

| 7809186 | Being born a woman is my awful tragedy. From the moment I was conceived I was doomed to sprout breasts and ovaries rather than penis and scrotum; to have my whole circle of action, thought and feeling rigidly circumscribed by my inescapable feminity.
