A solid free woman... As easy a question as it should be... it is rather tough. As all women are unique and different, which is why there are no cookie cutter Free Women. I mean, there are, but not in MTC.
To me, a free woman is someone who knows the perfect balancing act. They walk a fine line between their freedom, and the slavery they secretly crave, and outwardly fear. Now, as how they walk that line is entirely up to them. They can be bold, and absolutely toe the line, pushing the buttons of the Men who surround them, testing their limits, retreating only when they know that they can go no further without courting the steel around their necks. They can also timidly remain beneath the radar, never once testing their limits. Does that make the first woman stronger than the second? No. It just makes them different. A strong Free Woman, is the one who remains Free, simply that, as they are the ones who have lived, knowing that any moment their lives may be changed at the whim of a Man.
A solid Free Woman of Tuchuk, however, is so many different things. They have so many roles to play, yet never to forget that they are Women. They may, in their lives play the roles of Daughter, Sister, Healer, Griever, Comforter, Mother, Companion, Protector.. and that is only to name a few of the roles they may get the opportunity to act as. It takes a lot of self assurance, a lot of confidence, to lift their chins up, square their shoulders off, and bear the responsibility of these roles. A solid Free Woman of Tuchuk, knows when to protect her family, and when to lay down her bow to rush to the aid of a fallen Warrior to keep him alive. She knows when to set aside her personal feelings and obey without question, when it is necessary. But at the same time, she knows that she is a woman, and revels in the fact that she has perhaps the opportunity to be the most beautiful of all things on Gor. A Free Woman.

Know when to fight.
When to give in.
Know when to comfort.
When to strike.
