Amy is a concise (-not- compact), light-haired woman with good teeth, bright green eyes, and slightly protruding ears.  She stands precisely five feet five inches tall, but somehow her height is the last thing anyone notices.  Instead, she attracts such varying adjectives as "birdlike," "officious," "grandmotherly," "pugnacious," "vain," "self-effacing," "forgettable," "warm," "fearful," and "pure."
Her actual appearance-- straggling hair, dark vest, body in layers of puffy white cloth, boxlike shoes, and smooth hands-- barely registers.
