Hortense - Age 16
Defect: Phosphorescent globes grow in her hair
Issues: Hortense has made it her mission to take care of her friends and the younger orphans. But her concern is not always appreciated. Her best friend, Sybil, thinks she cares too much– she recently remarked, "Tense, if you ask me one more time if Maud or Bruno are OK, I'm going to burn something down!" Sybil should know they are both hurting. Why doesn't she care?
