Tourmaline was the Queen of the Pinkies of Sky Island. She is a beautiful young girl of about seventeen, not fat like the rest of the Pinkies, but slender and well formed. Her complexion is not a decided pink, but a soft rosy tint. Instead of the silken gowns of the other Pinkies, Tourmaline wears a severely plain robe of coarse pink cloth. Her badge of office is a band of rose gold on her brow, set with a luminous pink jewel more brilliant than a diamond.
