"Something a little strange, that's what you notice, that she's not a woman like all the others. She looks fairly young, twenty-five, maybe a little more, petite face, a little catlike, small turned-up nose. The shape of her face, it's... more roundish than oval, broad forehead, pronounced cheeks too but then they come down to a point, like with cats." Kiss of the spider woman, Chapter 1, page 1.
