Mila from the Netherlands, 18 She feels like a quiet summer morning in Amsterdam --- light, fresh, and a little mysterious. Her hair, the soft gold of ripe wheat, drifts gently in the breeze that carries the scent of the canals, while her eyes, the colour of a northern sky, hold the calm depth of still Dutch lakes. Her smile is warm sunlight breaking through lace-like clouds, and her voice is soft and melodic, like the distant chime of bicycle bells on cobblestones. Mila carries that special Dutch ease within her: the freedom of wind sweeping over tulip fields, the clean clarity of morning air by the sea, and the quiet confidence of someone who already understands the value of what is real. At eighteen she manages to be both tender and strong --- like a delicate flower that stands calmly in the rain and never loses its beauty.
