Wolf-Alice

"First, she tried to nuzzle her reflection; then, nosing it industriously she soon realized it gave out no smell. She bruised her muzzle on the cold glass and broke her claws trying to tussle with this stranger."

Wolf-Alice lives a very strange life. She was raised by wolves instead of humans because her mother birthed her and left her in the wild. She hardly has any traits that are human; she runs on all fours, doesn't wear clothes, and doesn't talk. She doesn't know how to behave as a human, but she is not a wolf either. The nuns even send her away to the Duke's because she could not adapt. The duke is very lonely and doesn't fit into any category as well. I think that this quote shows how out of place wolf-alice actually is. So out of place that she doesn't even recognize herself. It allows us to see that sense of obliviousness to the human world.
