Wonderful post. I think this part summarizes her perfectly, though:
She takes risks -- including one of the biggest risks of all: love. She can stand up against the most powerful creatures and the most intelligent and potentially dangerous people who have ever lived and make them back down. She never lets her lack of schooling, other people's opinions of her potential, or her hair color hold her back from taking the universe on by her terms.

Excellently worded.
