[Accidental Video Post][A small, scrawny girl with bright red hair, a raggedy dress and an even more raggedy carpet bag stands in the middle of the square, looking very, very lost

I have, thank you! King Arthur came on a white horse and fetched me himself! People in this world are surprisingly kind. Oh I shouldn't say that, people where I'm from have been very kind to me too and I'm very wicked to think otherwise. But I can't help thinking it even if it does mean I'm wicked. I have no hope of being good anyway, so why resist it? I like it here much better than I like it at home.
Am I talking too much? I always talk too much. I think I was a jaybird in another life. What's your name? My name's Anne. With an e. But you can call me Cordelia. That's a much more romantic name. Although there's no point in having a romantic name when your hair is as ugly as mine.
Mrs. Spencer always told me that good little girls don't talk so much or ask so many questions and they ALWAYS keep control of their temper. I have a very bad temper, you see, and though I try really really hard to hold my tongue, I just have so many thoughts and if I didn't let SOME of them out, my head would explode! So I've resigned myself to being wicked. I wouldn't mind being wicked so much if I could be divinely beautiful as well, but as it is, I'm cursed.
Oh, I don't hate my name. It's just so dreadfully plain. Like me, so I suppose it fits. But I like to imagine myself as tall and willowy, with a crystal clear complexion, raven black hair and starry violet eyes. Cordelia is a much more fitting name in my imagination.
Rin. That's a very nice name! I'm glad I got to meet you.
Well, I suppose some moderation is wise to keep, but - overall, you seem to me a well-intentioned girl. And children need to ask about things, how else are they going to learn?
For what it's worth, I think Anne is quite the lovely name - and if you don't mind, I think I shall call you by it, if only to prevent confusion.

Uhm, why should I call you Cordelia? Do you hate your name so much?
My name is Rin. I'm pleased to make your acquaintance.

Thank you! I'm glad as well.

That's just fine. My name is the only thing I have left of my parents, so even if people did call me Cordelia, I couldn't let go of it entirely.

... you've lost your parents?

They died of typhoid fever when I was small. I've been living with various families and in the Hopetown Orphanage ever since.

But, heh. We have something in common there.

You're an orphan too?

Yes, that's right.

Ah, no. I wasn't so young when it happened, so I've been living by myself for a good two years.
