Description
"Her hair, the color of a carrot , was braided in two tight braids that stuck straight out. Her nose was the shape of a very small potato and was dotted all over with freckles . It must be admitted that the mouth under this nose was a very wide one, with strong white teeth. Her dress was rather unusual. Pippi herself had made it. She had meant it to be blue , but there wasn't quite enough blue cloth, so Pippi had sewed little red pieces on it here and there. On her long thin legs she wore a pair of long stockings , one brown and the other black, and she had on a pair of black shoes that were exactly twice as long as her feet. These shoes her father had bought for her in South America so that Pippi would have something to grow into, and she never wanted to wear any others."

I admittedly liked the description Astrid gave to Pippi.
