Sheryl (The flight of the Snowbird) and Marilyn Monroe (A beautiful child):

I think Sheryl and Marilyn share this being fragile and strong at the same time, though in different ways, I mean Sheryl is so small and white like snow that she makes you think you cannot touch her otherwise you would hurt her, but she has this natural gracefulness she's not aware of and an emptiness and strneght in her sight that makes her invincible and very strong to her brother, I mean she can break him just gazing at him and the boy can feel her presence even if she's not there. Meanwhile, Marilyn shows a strenght in her looks that makes her look unbreakable to the people who do not know her like she really is, the people who consider her a sex symbol and watch admired-because of her beauty, the films she acts in, however those who know the real Marylin know that she's really sensible, that she can change her mood as quickly as the flutter of a bird and that she is not a sexy woman but a beutiful child with her chareacteristic girlish giggle and the chewing of her thumbnail. These two characters with really different lives and personalities and who are different ages have this compound of strenght and fragileness, one shows to be fragile but is strong and the other one shows to be strong but is fragile.
