Sally

Sally is the oldest of the baby girls. She knows what they want and tries to speak for them. But the world is a scary place for her. She's been in a bad place for a long time and leaving that is terrifying for her.

We all have our "inner child". Those whose childhood was blessed with freedom, love and the ability to be carefree generally find the ability to do the same as adults. For those who grew up in Hell, without the freedom to be a child, or with any childhood trauma, the world can continue feel very unsafe.

(If this sounds familiar, it's because I wrote about Lydia late one night when I wasn't near my painting. This is actually Sally. Please look back and read about the real Lydia.)

There must be something special about Sally because just like the first Sally a.k.a. Lydia, she came together quickly and is pretty much complete as is.
