Goose Girl Blog 2

I have read 2 1/2 hours and 102 pages this week. On with the story, Ani goes to the castle to try to convince the king it is her who is the lost princess, when she sees Selia in her clothes, already playing the part. Not wanting to risk getting thrown out of the kingdom by saying she is the rightful princess, or worse, be killed, she quietly talks to the king and accepts the job of protecting his geese. Ani is very blonde along with the people from her country, while in her new country Bayern, everyone's hair is dark. Her old guards are still looking to kill her, so to protect her identity she wears a big hat to cover her hair, and dyes her eyebrows darker. She also changes her name to Isi, short for her middle name, Isilee, which was named after her grandmother. Isi has been knowledgeable with bird speech since she was a child, so she befriends a goose and names it Jok. Although he isn't the easiest to befriend, they end up getting along. Whilst watching the geese one day, Ani learns to understand wind speech, and finds her true name. She also befriends a forest girl who works in the city as well named Enna. After discovering Isi's secret by seeing her hair, Isi tells her everything that had happened. Enna swears to keep it a secret, and they become good friends.
