She was the type of person that you couldn’t help but pay attention to as she walked down the halls, the type of person that caught your eye even when you were losing yourself in your own thoughts. She didn’t exactly appear all the unusual - short, cropped mousy brown hair that ended at her chin, watery blue eyes, an average figure. She wasn’t neither tall nor was she short, neither fat nor thin. She seemed to simply be there, so simply exist, and to simply be someone that you could easily overlook.

And yet there was still something about her, something that drew your eyes to her when you passed her in the halls, something that made all conversation suddenly cease when she walked into a room. She carried an energy with her, a vibrancy that was reflected in her very movement. She never walked down the halls, she moved through them, effortlessly. Doors seem to open themselves in front of her and crowds parted for her, a mockery of Moses and the Red Sea.

She was an enigma, a mystery that had yet to be solved and a case that would never be cracked. Power flowed from her through her words, and yet when she was gone from the room her presence left with her, leaving behind only an imprint and a memory of what had been there and what was now gone, missing. Her words were never captured on paper, never captured through memory or experience; she seemed beyond this plane of existence, an angel transcended onto earth to teach the people there, but the angel would never be understood.

Despite all this, she was never popular, but she gave the feeling that she never longed for the popularity, that she was the one avoiding it, not that it was avoiding her. The crowds, loud voices and laughter never seemed to hold any appeal to her, and whenever one would happen to invite her to do anything she would smile and nod politely, but never would she give you a return call or meet with you later to discuss plans. She was always thinking ahead of everyone else, her world wrapped up in problems that no one could understand, and her focus on matters that seemed to be worlds away.

She was an enigma.
