Portrait of Priscilla Heath

Priscilla Heath

Kitty's older, more sensible sister who helps her prepare for Class Day.

From "Proverb Stories" by Alcott, Louisa May

Core Belief

"Priscilla believes in the importance of modesty, thrift, and inner worth over outward appearances. She values genuine kindness and acts of selflessness."

Worldview

Priscilla sees the world through a lens of practicality and responsibility. She is aware of the social pressures and potential for criticism, but ultimately prioritizes her sister's well-being and personal growth.

Personality

Priscilla is practical, prudent, and selfless. She prioritizes economy and good taste over fleeting trends and is willing to sacrifice her own desires for the sake of her sister's happiness.

In Their Own Words

"Why, your white muslin, silk sacque, and new hat, of course."
"Get your things together, and we will see what can be done. But remember, dear, that it is both bad taste and bad economy for poor people to try to ape the rich."
"Go and lie down, you dear, kind soul, and don’t think of my nonsense again."
