. In this case, Florens‟ naivety is seen from her thought.
4. Unyielding
In her journey, she never gives up whatever the situation she has. Under the errand of her Mistress, she continues her walk to go to the blacksmith‟s house.
The land slopes sharply and I have no way to go out but down as well. Hard as I try I lose the road. Tree leaves are too new for shelter, so everywhere
the ground is slop with snow and my footprints slide and pool…I hold one arm out in front and go slow to not stumble and fall 2008: 41.
In the middle of her errand she has difficult condition such as the land
slopes, lose the road, and slop with snow. In that condition, she never gives up, she has responsible from
her Mistress‟s errand to be done. “Yet, what about Florens? Look what she did when the things change
abruptly: chose to go her own route once the others had crept away” 2009: 65.
Florens has unyielding trait. It looks from the other character‟s thought. Florens is not easy to desperate to find blacksmith. If she knows the route that there are
creep people, she chooses her own route. If she is desperate, she will come back to Mist

the risk that she gets in the middle of her journey. She is afraid if she lost in the middle of her errand. Although she is afraid of the situation, she unchanged her

In the middle of journey to get blacksmith, Florens needs a shelter for one night to get protection in the wilderness. “I decide to knock the door of the larger
house, one that will have servant inside. Soon as I knock a woman opens the door 2009: 106. In that situation, Florens
