Question from Sara - Kat Ashley's appearance

What exactly did Kat Ashley look like? Like, what color hair did she have, how tall was she, and things like that. I know that portraits aren't always exactly truthful, they exaggerate to portray a person a certain way, and I can only find one portrait of her. I would really appreciate it if you could help me!

The portrait that I have on the website at http://tudorhistory.org/people/ashley/kat2.jpg is the only known image associated with Kat, at least according to the book from the Elizabeth exhibit at Greenwich in 2003. I saw the portrait in color there, but I can't remember what the colors were unfortunately. And diappointingly they didn't reproduce that portrait in the book either.
