She could be said to be lucky to survive. Hardy, even.

To recover from the injuries she could be described as resiliant or a battler.

There is a chance that shen she recovers from te psycological damage she will be brave or stoic. Determined or inspirational.

If she had pushed someone out of the way of the car she would be a heroine - i.e. has knowingly placed herself in danger.

A guy that got stabbed in the guts trying to prevent a robbery could be described as a hero, although he had no idea he was going to be stabbed.

It's a pretty important destinction IMO.

She knowingly lived in a world where elderly people have a driver´s license...

I was not joking when I meant I will brick someone for going way out of line.

2 points per post in this thread for 6 points.

Warning as sent to lars573

As a Sydneysider this is not the way I wish to see someone approach the pathos of a situation where first a young girl at age 3 gets pinned under a car and gets burned so badly that she gets limbs amputated and then a couple of years later she gets ran over again.

I fail to see the sense of humour so I applied your own quote hence standard against yourself as the rod to be used.

"I came, I saw, I kicked ass "

I came.

I saw your comment.

I kicked your ass.

Oh btw I am hitting you for 2 points per post in this thread.

Sophies first accident a car went out of control and ran through the wall of the childcare center she was in,
she was pinned under the exhaust,
she lost both legs, the fingers on one hand and was terrbily burnt down one side of her face (she lost her ear).

a journalist who followed Sophies recovery from the first accident has become her friend and was present at her last birthday party where she was given a tricycle, she has artificial legs and can get around quite well,
when he commented on her riding the tricycle her reply was simply "i dont need legs"

A hero can also be defined as someone who overcomes great personal trauma, difficulties and obstructions in order to lead a full life.

Sophie falls into the category of hero,
she is brave, stoic and an inspirational hero to all disabled people everywhere.
