An attempt at personal descriptions...
He saw her as soon as he entered the courtyard. She stood gazing towards the sky above the castle walls watching the clouds gather in the distance. She wore a loose green dress made of the finest silk trimmed in fine gold. The garment did little to hide her tall slender figure, hugging her shoulders and hips gently displaying her frailty. She appeared so small that she might snap like a twig with any sudden movement. Her golden tresses flowed gently past her shoulders and back, swaying gently in the breeze. The heavy waves of her hair caught the faint light of the dying sun and bounced back in a heartbreaking shine. But these weren’t the things that caught his attention. The beauty of her face surpassed any that he had every seen. Her smooth brown skin was tightly stretched over high cheekbones. Her oval eyes were a freckled green surrounded by thick black lashes that seemed to overflow with feeling while her full lips moved in silent prayer. She stood stiffly staring at the sky and as he looked upon her, he could feel his heart stop in his chest for an instant. The pang of immense pain shot though him as he stood there and he was unable to move, paralyzed by the sight of her. Taking a deep breath to steady himself, he slowly walked towards her with silent footsteps. She did not turn as he approached but he could see her body tense underneath her dress and as he stood directly behind her, she called out his name. It was the sweetest sound he had ever heard and all he wanted at that moment was to hold her fragile body in his arms and hear her whisper his name again.
