Also about her being pale... maybe she hasn't gone to the beach in awhile or laid out in the sun? She does live in Canada for crying out loud! I don't see many Canadian who come down here to Florida looking very alive and tan as compared to most people here. If anything that's how people here usually can tell that someone from Canada, compared to just being from up north of America, is how their paleness is greater than an American from north of America.

And of course the time of year helps too... like right now Orlando is little Quebec and Ontario.
