Character: Pollyanna Whittier Fandom:Pollyanna, by Eleanor H. Porter. I’m going off the book, not the movie. Character Notes:
History: • Has lived all her life out west, in a small (nameless) town where her father was a missionary/minister. • Mother died when she was young, and didn’t have a good relationship with the rest of her family because she didn’t marry the “right” man, in their eyes. • Lived a life of relative poverty; most of her family’s possessions came from missionary’s barrels, which were full of old things no one else had any use for. She and her father lived in rented out rooms. • After her mother’s death, the local Ladies Aid helped raise her and teach her “womanly” skills, such as sewing and cooking. Unfortunately, no one ever agreed on what was right because they all had their own methods and preferences. Once her father died, they became her primary caretakers, until her aunt agreed to take her in. • Possibly the most important event of her childhood was the day that, instead of a doll, she got a pair of small crutches out of a missionary’s barrel. As a young child, she was upset about it, until her father tried to get her to look on the bright side of things—at least she didn’t need the crutches! That was the start of The Glad Game; the only thing you have to do to play is always look for the good in things, no matter how bad the situation may seem at first.
