She's the schoolgirl with a heart of gold and a tackle that could snap you in two.
Alysia Lefau-Fakaosilea announced herself as a star of women's rugby in Australia - not of the future, but right now - with the two decisive plays in the Brisbane Global Rugby Tens final on Saturday night.
And at just 17 years of age, she'll be around for a while yet.
Lefau-Fakaosilea laid on the biggest hit of the two-day tournament - men's draw included - when she speared unsuspecting NSW opponent Olivia Brooks so hard into the ground it nearly made a crater in the Suncorp Stadium turf during extra time of the women's decider.
Seconds later, she was gunning up the left flank to score the winning points as the Reds prevailed 10-5 over the Waratahs in a remarkable late comeback.
Not bad for someone who needed permission from her teachers to skip school to play on Friday.
Lefau-Fakaosilea was born in New Zealand and won't get her Australian citizenship until next year but has already been identified as a major talent.
Australian women's sevens coach Tim Walsh became aware of her precocious abilities during the recent Uni 7s tournament and made immediate inquiries.
It wouldn't surprise to see her trademark ponytail swinging around in a green and gold jersey at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.
"It's really exciting to see... she's a bit of a freak," said Reds captain Kirby Sefo.
"She's so sweet and she's so innocent.
"She's got so much raw talent and quite a lot of it I think's still untapped. That's exciting.
"Personally, I don't even think she realises how amazing she is right now, which is quote cool. It's nice to be around her at the start of her journey and it'll be cool to see where she ends up."
Lefau-Fakaosilea's next big stage is likely to come in Super W, Australia's first 15-a-side women's rugby competition which begins next month.
"She's a big inspiration and I hope they just look after her, and don't overload her, because already she's a superstar," Sefo said.
"But I hope they develop her and ease her into it, because I think she's got such longevity in the game - 15s or sevens, whichever way she wants to go."
