* ClingyJealousGirl: Is so in love with Ralph and incensed that he doesn't reciprocate that she's jealous of Meggie even when she's a child, outright stating that the reason she dislikes her is because Ralph does. Then, she amends her will to insure that Ralph is promoted in the church--and separated from Meggie.
Added DiffLines:
* JerkassHasAPoint: She picks up on the improper undertones of Ralph's relationship with Meggie and calls him out on it. It may only be out of jealousy, but she's still right.
