She started as a blank canvas/wax model, let out into the world to interact with the people around her. She became shaped to what she is now by the methods people used to contribute a part of themselves.

Objective:
(Harmony)

"...all can see beauty as beauty
only because there is ugliness.
All can know good as good only because there is evil.
Therefore having and not having arise together;
Difficult and easy compliment each other;
Long and short contrast each other;
High and low rest upon each other;
Voice and sound harmonize each other;
front and back follow one another..."
