Willow Rose-The story of an ancient warrior
At a young age, when she first started to grow her hair, some of it was white.

They said they kicked her out because, “They didn’t want a 16 year old granny as their daughter.” As she began to walk the streets, she came to Mt. Olympus. There, she sat down at the bottom and began to weep. She hated the fact that she was kicked out for something she couldn’t control. As she was crying, Athena walked down from the mountain and heard her cries. “Child,” she called and stood in front of her. “Why do thy cry?” Willow looked up at her, tears evident on her face. “My parents kicked me out because of my hair.” Athena crouched down in front of her and put some of the hair in her hand. “It’s beautiful to me.” “Really? I thought it was weird.” Athena looked her in the eyes and asked, “Why?” Willow wiped some of the tears from her face and replied, “Because everyone else thought so.” The goddess of war sat down and said, “Your hair is just too pretty for them to understand.” “Why do you like it?” Athena smiled and said, “Because it’s a perfect contrast of the night sky and the pure snow on the ground.” Willow looked at her contrasting hair.
