In the Philippines, long before any colonizer even saw these islands, legends tell a story of a warrior princess who defended her land from foreign invaders with her fleet of ships and an army made up of free women and men. She was described by foreign travelers as tall and beautiful, having golden bronze skin, shiny luscious hair, and deep dark-brown eyes. She was also known to be adept in sword fighting and horseback riding, and the leader of a group of "Kinalakihan", otherwise known as warrior women. She was quoted saying that she will marry no one but him who defeats her in a duel. Most warriors avoided fighting with her for fear of being disgraced.
This photo is how I imagined that warrior in the legend. Legend, in Filipino, is "Alamat".
