The Three Sisters
Lira is the youngest among three sisters. Her two older sisters are popular.
Myrna, the oldest, is probably the most popular of the three. She has the fairest complexion. She is the most extrovert, and has the most admirers.
Loraine, the middle child, is maybe less popular than her older sister, but she also enjoys her dose of fame. Although not as fair as Myrna, she has a more attractive pair of eyes, and darker hair than Myrna's. She is smarter than her older sister.
Lira sometimes has the most difficult time. What with people having known about her older famous sisters, they also expect much from her.
But Lira chooses to be just herself. She may not be as beautiful as Myrna, or as intelligent as Loraine, but she has the most loyal friends. And to her, that is what matters most.
