She wasn't always hard. She grew up with loose lips, spitting out words without a thought. It was after her mom, that's when she built a wall around her heart. Stopped talking and started listening, watching people, trying to figure out who could possibly be a threat, possibly do to others what was done to her mom. Then he came along, his annoying charm captivated her and tore down the wall without her even realizing it. He put her heart together again, slowly, gently, with careful, hands like a surgeon. Thanks to him she was ready, ready to finally, move on, ready to finally be happy. She owed it all to her Castle.
