Corporal Cheery Littlebottom pronounced her name "Cheri." She was a she,
and therefore a rare bloom in Ankh-Morpork.
It wasn't that dwarfs weren't interested in sex. They saw the vital need
for fresh dwarfs to leave their goods to and continue the mining work
after they had gone. It was simply that they also saw no point in
distinguishing between the sexes anywhere but in private. There was no
such thing as a Dwarfish female pronoun or, once the children were on
solids, any such thing as women's work.
Then Cheery Littlebottom had arrived in Ankh-Morpork, and had seen that
there were men out there who did /not/ wear chain mail or leather
underwear(1), but /did/ wear interesting colors and exciting makeup, and
these men were called "women."
And in the little bullet head the thought had arisen: "Why not me?"
Now she was being denounced in cellars and dwarf bars across the city as
the first dwarf in Ankh-Morpork to wear a skirt. It was hard-wearing
brown leather and as objectively erotic as a piece of wood but, as some
older dwarfs would point out, somewhere under there were his /knees/.(2)
(1) At least of the sort /she/ normally wore.
(2) They couldn't bring themselves to utter the word "her."

Uberwald [...] was mostly so thickly forested, so creased by little
mountain ranges and beset by rivers, that it was largely unmapped. It
was mostly unexplored, too.(1)

[...] Sam Vines had learned a lot from watching Lady Sybil. She didn't
mean to act like that, but she'd been born to it, into a class which had
always behaved this way: You went through the world as if there was
/no possibility/ that anyone would stop you or question you, and most of
the time that's exactly what didn't happen.

Silver stars weren't awarded frequently, and gold stars happened less
than once a fortnight, and were vied for accordingly. Right now, Miss
Susan selected a silver star. Pretty soon Vincent the Keen would have a
