Hahaha—if I may rec some more folk music, that description of Ewen always reminds me of this song about the Prince: 'Oh, my love was six foot two without stocking or shoe, in proportion my true love was built'... I gather that 6'2" was probably an exaggeration of Charles's actual height, but it's not for Ewen :D

the way she describes him as embedded in nature/wilderness could mean either he's a fairy thing himself or (which gets confirmed in his talk with his foster-brother) that he's rather grounded in the literal soil of his home turf

I love this interpretation!
