Meet One of The Stepsisters

The heroine, Cynethrith, taunts her daydreaming stepsister Wulwaru, a character from the novel Courting Trouble.

 . . . Wulfwaru was sitting by herself near the door. She sat very erect on a bench, her lower back pressed in and her rear end pressed out. Her head was tilted to one side, her nose in the air, and her eyes were half-closed. Her mouth was pursed in a little pout.

As I passed I stopped and peered at her. “Did you eat something sour, Wulfwaru? Your mouth is all scrunched up.”

Wulfwaru started out of her reverie and scowled at me. I smiled at her sweetly.
