She's a fierce 4'8" Italian woman who went through WWII as a child/teen, when she's not threatening to kill people who annoy her in broken English she has a full time gig talking about how her foot hurts, her veggie garden, things that happened 50 years ago and acting tough as nails

That whole generation.
I remember in the 80's the fire department coming out to thank my grandmother for clearing the bush back from her back fence. All 4'10" of her had laid waste to about 400sqm of trees undergrowth etc. Just for something to do. Her twin sister nearly got gaoled in her late 80's for taking out some AH social workers who came in her house and wouldn't leave when she told them to. Assault with a deadly weapon...
Tough as nails, can't kill 'em with a sharp axe. Well stuff killed them eventually...
