Tita Bordereau
Juliana's niece, a timid and unassuming woman who is largely controlled by her aunt.
Core Belief
"Loyalty and obedience to family are paramount, even at the expense of personal happiness."
Worldview
Tita sees the world as a confusing and potentially dangerous place. She relies on her aunt for guidance and protection, and her understanding of reality is shaped by Juliana's prejudices and fears. She longs for a more fulfilling life but lacks the courage and resources to break free from her aunt's control.
Personality
Tita is gentle, submissive, and deeply devoted to her aunt. She is easily manipulated and lacks confidence in her own judgment. She yearns for connection and affection but is constrained by her loyalty to Juliana and her fear of the outside world. She is also fundamentally honest and struggles with deception.
In Their Own Words
"Nothing here is mine."
"Oh, don’t take it away from us; we like it ourselves!"
"The money you are going to bring."
