Layne Djo-Solo
Entry 25 - Fame and Fortune
I had not thought my baby sister to have the drive necessary to make it in the world of holo-stars, yet Allana has proven a tenacity and cut-throat nature I had not suspected. She has done everything possible, short of assassination - murder is such a dirty word - to get ahead of her peers.
In the last months since she has been at the Academy of Fine Arts, we have heard rumors of her sabotaging the roles in which she has been a minor understudy. Rumors, not proof, indicating that she has been smart enough and devious enough not to get caught. Mother's Grandmother would have been proud - I know I am!
Mother and Father have voiced concerns about allowing her to continue and, to my shock, I spoke out against the idea. Me! Who had a problem with her entering the school to begin with! I do not know who was more shocked. Mother, Father or myself; it was a strange situation.
Mother spoke of pulling Allana out of the school and bringing her back to the palace, saying she was too young to be put in roles of such pressure.
Pressure? Allana? Mother must forget that we have all been under pressure. Each of us - especially Allana. As the youngest daughter, she has had to strive the hardest to make a niche for herself. I know; I have seen her struggling for recognition despite mother and father's attempts to ensure both she and Kalen have wanted for nothing.
Perhaps in this she can succeed.
I feel compelled to add that Allana has been cast in her first major understudy role and, shamefully, it is in a piece about mother. About her life before the Jedi Academy and her dutiful upbringing as a Hapan princess, trying to cull the wild Dathomirian side from her nature.
Such lies! Mother should have the director shot! I know I would.
