Common questions

What do I need to know about her?

The year she was born, what she is known for in the family and the story friends tell again and again.

Will older chapters look old-fashioned?

Yes, deliberately. The early pages are drawn to match the world in her birth year, so the clothes and rooms change as the decades pass.
