Roman mythology

Camila of the Volscians was the daughter of the king Metabus, tyrant of the city of Priverno. When her father was expelled from the city, Camila virilely grew up with him in the nearby forest, but keeping all her beauty and charm.

As a baby, was nursed by a mare; and as soon as she began to take her first firm steps, she was taught to grab a javelin. As a little girl, she accompanied her father in hunting, with a bow and a quiver hanging from her shoulder. She spent her childhood in the company of her father and the shepherds in the hills and woods, observing and learning everything related with the art of hunting.

(107) Camilla is related with the ability to adapt to development opportunities, which even though they may not fit entirely with its own nature, solve the problem of exclusion and provide valuable experience, like in the movies "Mostly  Martha" (2001) and "Trouble with the Curve" (2012).
