14. Her Surprising Street Smarts

The innocent hippie girl beside Phoebe is no pushover, for she is street-smart enough to defend herself against a possible mugger. It's this element of surprise that adds dimension to Phoebe's character, seconding what lies in store under her overtly kooky exterior woman who can hold her own under the harshest circumstances. In doing so, Phoebe speaks of being more than a colorful and eccentric character but rather brings depth to her overall character.
