Jordan Baker

Description

Jordan Baker is a slender, small-breasted young woman with an erect carriage, her body thrown backward at the shoulders like a young cadet. Her grey sun-strained eyes look out from a wan, charming, discontented face with a wan scornful mouth and a bored haughty yet pleasing contemptuous expression. Her hair is the color of an autumn leaf, a golden yellow, and her face bears the same brown tint as her fingerless glove, with fingers showing tan beneath powder. She wears evening dresses with a jauntiness as if they were sports clothes, often in small tight metallic cloth hats and light capes or golf outfits, moving with the confident stride of someone who learned to walk on crisp golf courses.
