[ Luisa's cheeks and ears flush, and she can't help an embarrassed laugh. ] Well, uh...thank you. To be honest, I'm...learning to like how I look. I think being in this place kind of helps, getting to see other women who look different.

But growing up...All the women in my family are really beautiful, and more what people typically think how women should look like. So it was kind of hard being from the same family and...looking like this.

[ She'd always felt a little self-conscious about her appearance, compared to the other women in her family. She'd never felt quite as pretty as they did, and all the heavy lifting and manual work she did didn't really help. ]

Thanks. And of course I'd help them too if they need it, but...yeah, just having someone there for me would be nice.

[ And as she thinks about it, she finds that it's not entirely weird to think that that someone could be a woman. ]
