How old is azalea in entwined

That last comment refers to how she actually looks a lot like her mom. Because, well, genetics. And her mom also loved to dance, so that's another connecting factor. In part because Azalea's so purty, and in part because she's in love with dancing, she is a fabulous dancer, and a marvel to watch. She's never been beaten at the Entwine, where the lady is supposed to evade the gentleman's attempts to ensnare her with a scarf during a three-minute dance.

Well she's never been beaten by a mortal anyway—Keeper beats her once. Heck, even Keeper—a centuries-old undead mad king who saw a lot of dancing while alive—is impressed by Azalea's dancing.

It is badly done, Azalea! As the future queen, you should know better! Azalea suddenly felt how cold the wind was, and how it bit her face. She turned her head. We can tell she's hurting here—she looks away, and the bite of the wind mirrors the way her father's stern words make her feel. When the girls' reign of terror against Mr. Bradford continues, Azalea feels like she's "dying a thousand tiny deaths.
