"I am only shiny because my father wanted better for our family than what he had," she paused and tilted her head, "But the lot of my sisters and brothers, and there are plenty, have soured it for him. Most of them are greedy and mean. I don't know why I am so different from them in that regard, Darius is the only exception I think because he's... odd, but he's never been mean. My mother... Father made it clear that he loved her once but she is very much about the money he made and not as much about our family. It's almost like she isn't my mother at all..." She gave again as this notion truly started to swirl within her head. "And sometimes, I wish it were true... That she wasn't really my mother. I know it's so very unkind of me to think that about one's mother. But I digress, this isn't about that. I just mean to say that we're only shiny in appearance, but we're not blue blooded."
