Mina nodded slightly, pursing her lips. "Anna," she said in a surprisingly gentle tone (Mina was hardly maternal, but she had helped Anne and Jack to raise a child, after all), "that, I think, is the key to keeping the Huntress from taking over. You need to learn the answer to that question. Beyond descriptions and titles and proper nouns. You need to have a deep understanding of who you are. That's the only way that you can stay yourself."

It was why, she supposed, the Queen hadn't manage to take much control of her own mind. Mina was so sure of herself. She knew who and what she was. And she liked who and what she was.

Anna was too young. Far too young.
