She isn't? Then what is she doing in the woods all alone? That is no
place for a little girl! There may be wild beasts out there! A strong
boar alone could kill her!

Arms, shoulders. Things useful for firing a bow.

Or a passing pack of werewolves... Although the board pose less of a
problem. She knows the regular inhabitants of the forest - after all she
grew up in a village in the middle of the forest - and knows how to deal
with them. In case of a wild board that mean keeping distance. And about
what she is doing in the forest: Running away. Not very reasonable, but
she *is* quite a hot head.

Actually I meant the 'tree acrobatics'.

I do believe they can go even faster than that, but that's probably fast
enough to hit just about any hunting target.

They are both bipedal humanoids.
That and they life in the forest!
And they have two eyes with which they estimate distances which is
useful when swinging from tree to tree.

Almost every raptor has those as well.

Hm... so hunting, bipedal lizards from Omicron Phi that happen to live
in an environment full of what we would call trees will without doubt be
more powerful than humans... I *should* have known.
You know, pointing out the odd similarity and ignoring any differences
doesn't make for a good argument. And I so don't see elves giving off a
stupid cry while swinging from tree to tree on lianes - even if there
*were* any in the rather european forests usually associated with them.
Neither would they share Tarzans taste in clothes IMHO.

Not fair! Tarzan was raised by apes! You should consider yourself lucky
he is wearing any clothes in movies at all!

So summarizing: Laiva has the upperbody strength of a child of eight and
she can still pierce a man sized creature, in the dark, with inadequate
arrows, fired from a longbow?

Well, yes... except for the fact that there is a fire and no dark and
the arrows are not inadequate. Oh, and the logbow is scaled down for her
size, of course.

Well, hunting is pretty much an essential skill if you live in a
forrest, although it is a tad unusual for a girl... I blame her parents.
