Most people adapt to different changes in many diverse ways, for example moving into a new town and feeling homesick. Some find change too much and completely stress out while others adapt overtime. A change of scene depends on the diversity and the person themself. Alyss for example went into a whole other dimension at the mere age of 7. How does Alyss’ emotions and characteristic change throughout her journey?
Alyss is quite imaginative she uses this to her advantage. She is like a parading circus with eyes full of amusement, and tricks up her sleeve. While she was at her birthday party Alyss pulled a trick on her former tutor, Bibwit Harte. “...Bibwit put a bit of cake in his mouth… the stuff in his mouth felt like it was moving. Alyss started

With being observant comes being practical, she takes everything she sees and processes it to see if it makes sense. When she was being proposed to by Leopold she was seeing if it was even possible to consider it .”She had to be realistic, The marriage would please her
