Characterize Phoenix Jackson from "A Worn Path" by Eudora Welty.

Physically, the
narrator tells us that Phoenix Jackson is "very old and small and she walked slowly";
she is physically frail, even carrying a cane to help her with balance. Her dress is "neat
and tidy," though her shoelaces are untied, and her face is lined with "numberless
branching wrinkles." It seems as though she is lit from within by a "golden
color" and a "yellow burning" under the darkness of her skin. The red color of
the rag she wears over her hair seems to symbolize her strength and perseverance, the figurative
fire that keeps her going. Phoenix is also very self-reliant: she has no help, but relies only
on her own feet and memory to get her where she needs to go. When she reaches the
"trial," a log laid over a creek, "she mount[s] the log and shut[s] her
eyes." She opens them again when "she [is] safe on the other side." She's brave
as well, "holding utterly still" when the hunter points his gun straight at her.
Finally, she's incredibly loving, going to such great lengths...
