[Steppes] Kingdom of Heaven

[Trish Kvamme]

It was a grieving thing.  And if she planned on entering a convent it would 
have been appropriate.
I think the key to what she was thinking was that she felt ugly and 
responsible for what was happening, and as she cut her hair, it was her 
brothers unmasked reflection that you saw in the mirror.  Right before that 
scene, she asked the hero to save the people from what she had done, feeling 
guilt over crowning her husband.

I loved the movie!!!
