I've been reading "soon I will be invincible" by Austin Grossman.

One of the superhero characters is Lily, a transparent woman. This idea is totally fascinating to me: she's not invisible, but by being see-through, she still manages to escape scrutiny. you never quite know what she's up to (a key part of her superpower -- try stopping an adversary you can't quite see) and nor can you discern her true intentions, since her body language and facial expressions are obscured.

perhaps she would look like this:

Do transparent people have invisible hearts?

L.I.V.I.D.

Living in Vancouver Irritability Disorder.

Characterized by foggy brains, soggy hearts, and a tendency to consume more coffee than water. Other symptoms include: FOMS (fear of missing something, namely, summer), complaining incessantly about the weather, paleness, and (obviously) irritability.

The best known cure for LIVID is moving away from this rain-filled, over-priced, "tourist desitnation". Other recommended short-term remedies are buying a membership at the local tanning salon, alcoholism, vacationing at least three times a year, retail "therapy" and nymphomania.

and also secretively
below my grey, downcast, rapidly drawn-in eyelids.
