A Unique Skillset

This linocut combines the solidity of the ground, and the lightness of a mind in a book. It seems like a head-rush might be implied. For me, solidity and lightness are beautifully combined in books that follow a familiar trope. It could be literally any familiar trope but this one is my favourite:

Badass femme leads revolution; love interest proves their loyalty.

If you aren't familiar with this plot it looks something like:

Woman travels to a place where she is out of her element. People actively identify her as an outsider and shun her. She uses a mix of persistence, cleverness, and her unique skillset to not only assimilate, but excel in her new environment. #competencyboner

There is a love interest. Initially, the woman brushes them off because she is busy sneaking into her new community (or other good reasons). After a while, and some demonstrated loyalty and integrity, the woman enters into a relationship with the love interest. Their relationship may or may not follow the enemies-allies-friends-lovers-partners pattern. 

Earnest and honest communication happens regularly.
