"Un rostro perfecto, deslumbrante, inolvidable, con facciones indígenas bien delineadas una figura frágil, distinguida, de movimientos corporales elegantes, una personalidad fina, sobria, delicada, de exquisitos modales, así cómo un temperamento y fuerza de voluntad al enfrentar los retos, la convirtieron en una leyenda cuyos rayos resplandecientes llegaron a las cuatro esquinas del planeta..."
