One day after work, Montag stumbled upon her on the street. She is not like the others in society. She is seen as an outsider. She does not get caught up technology, like Mildred does. She explores new things and makes her own opinions. People like her are the people that others in the society worry about because they are scared she will spread information around. She makes Montag realize that he is not happy with his life and that their is more to life than technology and burning books. She talks to Montag about how she stays away from kids because they kill each other and get into car wrecks, little did we know that she was indicating a foreshadow, and we found out that she gets killed in a car wreck.

"Her face was slender and milk-white, and in it was a kind of gentle hunger that touched over everything with tireless curiosity"
