What are some describing words for Kit, of Elizabeth George Speare's The Witch of Blackbird Pond?

Describing words allow
readers to create a mental image of what the author is describing. These mental images help the
reader to connect on a deeper scale with the characters. As for Kit, theof
, herby(the author) proves important. The novel needs her connection with
Hannah Tupper to allow Kit to make the connection between her own life as an outcast. In the
same way, Speare needs to define and describe Kit in such a way that readers are able to connect
as well. 

Words specifically chosen to describe and illustrate Kit are as
follows: staring hungrily (1), sudden impulse (5), forgotten (5), guiltily (6), embarrassed (6),
curious (6), scornfully (9), uneasy (12), indigent (13), frustration (16), and uneasy
(20). 

Given the descriptive and vast nature of the words chosen to define
and describe Kit in the first twenty pages, one can see how complex a character she will prove
to be.
