Alannah

This is Alannah Grace Prentiss-Hamilton and she will steal your boyfriend.  Prentiss is her mom's last name.  Hamilton is her dad's.  They were two modern individualists who met and married and taught all three of their daughters that the world was their oyster.  "But," Allannah thought, "how can the world be mine, really mine, if I have to share it?"  She did not like sharing.  She took things from her sisters like a dress or a grape scented marker all the while thinking, "Mine."  At school, she  never returned books to the library again, always thinking, "Mine."  If there was a long line at the lunch counter at school, she would walk straight to the front.  In those cases, she didn't think, "Mine."  She thought, "Me first."  Now that she is older, if she likes your man, she will take him.  Sadly, she doesn't see men any differently from a dress or a marker or a grilled cheese sandwich at the lunch counter.  Poor Allanah.  She is never satisfied because there is always more to want.
