Miss Daintyfoot is elusive in a way that humbles even Lightfoot, who thinks he is showing her the forest when in truth she already knows it better than he does. She carries her own history of being hunted, and her gentle wit turns that shared danger into something almost like a gift. Her presence gives Lightfoot a reason to stay in the Green Forest — and gives the story its warmest turn.
