=== Physical Qualities ===
String People can't be killed by swords easily, even if they are cut in half.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/04/21/4-30/ Chapter 4.30]</ref> However, cutting them apart in fine enough pieces will results in their death, as will removing too much of a String Person's body. Their head is apparently most susceptible to damage, and the severed head of a String Person can still feel for five minutes before they die.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/01/18/9-32/ Chapter 9.32]</ref> The identity of a String Person is defined by the majority of the cloth they are 'made' of. The amount of cloth necessary to keep an intact identity has sparked philosophical debates among their kind.<ref name="2.12" />

It is implied that in wars, String People are cut up and rewoven often enough that their appearance and personality may change drastically. While it is possible to stitch String People together that resemble other creatures, things can apparently go horribly wrong, and Octavia heard horror stories on the topic.<ref name="2.12" />
