"Well, let's get the psychical aspects out of the way first. I think you have beautiful eyes. There's a depth to them as if there is a deep pool of thoughts behind them. I also love the almost porcelain colour of your face."

Daisy then thought about Tina's personality, having attended lessons with her. "I like that you are genuine. You don't believe in hiding behind a facade. You show determination which is an admirable trait as is your independent streak. Finally, you're a very creative young woman."

The Sixth-Year nervously awaited Tina's reply.


For a moment, Tina worried she wouldn't be able to find a partner, and she'd have to keep asking and asking people until time ran out and she missed the activity. She was relieved when Daisy agreed to work with her, not only because she needed a partner to complete the assignment, but Daisy was one of the few people in the school she liked. That was going to make giving compliments so much easier! Tina didn't do fake compliments, class assignment or not.

She listened intently as Daisy spoke, a smile spreading across her face. She'd never given much thought to having a depth to her eyes or porcelain skin, but it was nice to hear. "Thanks," she said, beaming. "That means a lot." As nice as the physical compliments were, the things Daisy said about her personality meant much more to Tina. Coming from someone else, she probably would've dismissed it as hollow flattery for the sake of getting the assignment done, but Daisy didn't strike Tina as a faker.

"Wow, that's going to be a tough act to follow!" Tina joked. She was pretty sure that was a lot more than four compliments! She hoped she could think of enough kind things to say to match them. She studied Daisy's face to help her brainstorm physicial compliments. This was going to be a bit difficult... not because Daisy was ugly, no! Tina just didn't pay much attention to outward appearances; she preferred to focus on inner beauty. After all, outer beauty often hid inner ugliness. She'd experienced that firsthand.

The first thing Tina noticed was Daisy's hair. "I love your hair!" she said. "It's such a rich shade of brown..." Not like her hair that couldn't decide whether it wanted to be brown or black! Her mind combed through details from her past encounters with Daisy until she thought of another physical trait. "and your smile... it's really warm and welcoming." Granted, she'd only seen it once or twice, but it was still nice.

Now that the two physical trait requirement was out of the way, Tina found it much easier to think. "I've always admired your work ethic," she said. "You give it your all in classes and don't let setbacks stop you from trying. Also, the way you look out for others - and not just the younger students - is inspiring! You're kind and always willing to help people, and... I wish I was more like that."

Did that sound too sappy? Probably, but Tina stood by it.
