Pollyanna Whittier 2/2

[xelccit.livejournal.com]

Personality: Pollyanna is the definitive eternal ball of sunshine. She’s extremely cheerful, friendly, and outgoing—and she has an odd habit of making even the most grouchy, miserly people content with life again. She always looks for the good in a situation, and has been doing it for so long that it’s practically second nature. She enjoys challenges (be it school, tall trees, or an especially tough situation to be glad about) and will take up any cause she considers to be good. Her father’s death was hard on her, but she faces it very well for an eleven year old—she knows that the angels in heaven needed her father more than she did, and that they’ll all get to see each other again someday, and that’s the gladdest thing she can think of.

Pollyanna is terrible at filtering her thoughts before speaking, and tends to talk freely about information that was told to her in confidence—or anything she’s ever heard in general. She’s easily influenced, and rather romantic about life; no one can do any wrong, ever, and everyone is just as kindhearted and loving as she imagines them to be. She’s very innocent, overall, but if she had a superpower, it would be winning over the hearts and minds of everyone she’s ever met.

Other: She’s impossible to punish because of the Glad Game; when told that she would be eating bread and milk in the kitchen for dinner with the maid, she was happy about it because she liked bread and milk, and she liked the maid. She will attempt to adopt any stray she comes across, and doesn’t just limit it to animals. One conversation with her will likely reveal everything from where she lives to what she had for breakfast six months ago. She has a dog named Buffy and a cat named Fluffy.

First Person (entry type):
It won’t be much longer until I meet Aunt Polly! I’ve already been on the train FOREVER, so we’ll HAVE to be there soon! I miss home already—and the Ladies Aid and practically everyone else—but I’m sure there will be so many wonderful things here. Lace and pictures and carpet and my aunt, of course, and maybe ice cream sundaes. Living in a REAL home, and not rented rooms…I can’t believe it!
Not that I didn’t love living with father, even in the rented rooms, and I know if he were still here he would agree with me and help me think of ALL the things to be glad about. I wonder if, maybe…Aunt Polly has pictures of Mother and Father when they were younger? Oh, I can’t think of anyone I’d like more than that!

Third Person:

“Fluffy? Fluffy, where are you?”

Pollyanna called out into the empty hallway, receiving nothing in return but the own dim echoes of her words. There were no hints to follow—no meows, no toys strewn across the floor, not even Buffy snorting around looking for the cat that he so loved to antagonize. But, Buffy wasn’t confined to the house like the poor girl—all because of sniffles, nothing IMPORTANT, but Aunt Polly said “stay inside” and had made Nancy swear that she wouldn’t allow Pollyanna to step foot outside. The loophole meant, of course, that she had free reign until Aunt Polly got back from the Ladies Aid meeting at the church, hopefully very late that afternoon.

The small cat had gone missing earlier that morning after one very violent sneeze—Pollyanna laughed aloud at the thought, remembering how high Fluffy had jumped before bolting out of the room with very un-kittenlike thuds along the way.

“I’m going to find you,” she said again to no one in particular, this time in a sing-song voice. “Just you wait!”
