the wild child trained into civility
“Before I learned civility, I used to scream ferociously”
“Tendrils tucked into a woven braid” — But Daddy I Love Him
One of the firmer echoes in the set: the "tendrils tucked into a woven braid" reads as the grown, ordered version of the child in seven who "used to scream ferociously" before she "learned civility". The woven braid is the civility the wild-haired child was trained into - the same screaming girl, her hair and her temper since tucked away.
