Snippet Saturday: First Paragraphs

Snippet Saturday is the brainchild of author Lauren Dane, wherein a group of authors selects thematic excerpts from their work and shares them on Saturday mornings. This week the theme is first paragraphs, so it should be a quick read! I'm posting the first paragraph from Survival of the Fairest. Technically, it's the first two paragraphs but it could have been one. I think it introduces our heroine and her attitude about life pretty well.
