Prompt: Books
Characters: Shirayuki
Summary: Books always give different ways to view the world.
Shirayuki loved books; reading was one of her pastimes. She would pick a book out of that huge library inside the mansion and read. There were books on different adventures, cook books that some of the chefs of the mansion wrote down for them. There were books of reference for Lampo when Giotto forced him to study.
However her favorite books were always on history. Western history has always fascinated Shirayuki, she was living in Italy so why not learn about it. She found so many books on historical figures from Italy and France. The best part was the some of those historical figures were used in stories. Her favorite book was about the heroine, Jeanne d' Arc.
Shirayuki would admire the armor that the artist drew and painted Jeanne in. She reminded Shirayuki of what she wanted to be, she wanted to be a strong woman in order to help the others. She felt that every time she read about Jeanne d' Arc she would be inspired to do more.
Each and every time Shirayuki would finish a chapter of this book she would always go out and practice her swordsmanship that Ugetsu taught her. Maybe one day she could be just like Jeanne d' Arc, a heroine.
