Saffron
Stubborn, but Loyal
Saffron is my cousin. And my sister. (You figure that one out) She is pretty, but not quite as pretty as Caddy. She is also very stubborn.
Before I was even born, Saffron's mum died and Mummy and Daddy decided to adopt her. Saffron did not know about this until she was eight. Mummy found out immediately that it was not very smart to keep a secret like that. So Saffron, who could not even remember her real mum and loved Mummy and Daddy like they were her real parents, started calling Mummy 'Eve' and Daddy 'Bill'. And whenever anyone would say something regarding Mummy and Daddy as her parents, Saffy would have a fit.
That was all good and well until three years ago, when we found out that Saffron was not only our cousin, but also our half sister. (Naughty, naughty Daddy) So now Saffron cannot deny that Daddy is her father (even though she wants to now more than ever)
Saffron has a best friend named Sarah. Saffron and Sarah are inseparable. It is very hard for me to remember what life was like before Sarah came along. If something makes Sarah unhappy, then Saffron is immediately unhappy, too (and vice versa). They always do everything together, like sunbathing in our garden (which Mummy says Maybe-You-Should-Not-Do-That-Naked because David's eyes almost fell out but that is another story) or making exploded carbonated swamp (a.k.a. birthday cake for Sarah's mum). Saffron and Sarah have always been there for each other.
"Almost always," says Saffron. Because she remembers that one time when Sarah was ill and she ran away. Now everyone will forget all the hundreds of times she was there for Sarah and only remember the one time she ran away (says Saffy)
But I don't. I remember all the hundreds of times that Saffy was there.
