Sulphur 18, Liver 18: As You Are
Author: Kat
Title: As You Are
Story: Shine Like It Does
Colors: Sulphur 18 (Unclean), liver 18 (skin).
Supplies and Materials: Tapestry, canvas (Charlotte is a child), charcoal (Nancy Hennessy), photography, beading wire (cheetah and cub), oils (don't be so surprised), brush (forsooth), miniature.
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG.
Summary: Nancy is concerned about Charlotte.
Warnings: Racism, racism, racism.
Notes: Someday I'm going to write the fight that erupted when Christopher married Isobel.
Nancy is concerned about Charlotte.
It isn't entirely the girl's fault, she supposes-- Charlotte is quite sweet and very polite, and if she only looked white she would be pretty, in a muted way. The trouble is that she doesn't look white. She has her mother's hard chin and cheekbones, thick eyebrows, and skin just too dark to be passed off as a tan.
If she'd stay inside, if she'd wear dark clothing, if she wouldn't speak Spanish... but she insists, no matter what Nancy says.
It cuts Nancy to the heart, that a girl like that is a Hennessy.
