I know who she was. I’m bigger, I’m stronger, I’m faster. If Naime were to come back from beyond the stars and meet me as one mortal to another, I could beat her in any fair fight, including swinging a sledgehammer. I can outrun her, outrow her, certainly outlast her in any contest on land or air or sea.
I’m only human and only mortal and nobody in particular, but I have studied this frame and I know what I can do with it. I’ve made it mine, this house on earth.
I’m a bigger woman than she was at this age.

Feisty! But practical, having done all that self knowledge work and study. Interesting snippet!
I chose the opposite route for the clone in my current work: although an alien assassin, she’s also petite and naive.
What confidence! Great snippet.
Self-assurance is itself a good tool. Nice.
I like the confidence, but I think Naime might have some tricks up her sleeve.
