She was taller than me (Lucas) (p 44). Caitlin is a thin and muscular character, the average build of a dancer Caitlin having black hair (p 29) and Her eyes were as brown as beer, her skin pale (p 45) doesnt seem to impact her at all, only proposing what will later be discovered that she is in fact Jewish.
