I'm writing a speech about someone and I would like to describe them as intelligent using a similar phrase to the way that "she has fire in her belly" would describe her as being passionate and driven.

Something along the lines of

She has fire in her belly and {something} in her head.

  • @WeatherVane I like "brilliance" I think I can do something with that, thanks.

    Good, note I used 'brain' instead of 'head' for alliteration.

I suppose one would like to preserve a certain parallelism in the form of the images used, and thus I'd try to supply a term as in the following.

  • She has fire in her belly and sparks in her head.
