3 roles
Anne’s mother. She is the progressive of the family, and while she cares for her culture, she doesn’t feel that Anne should be shamed for having forgotten it after moving away at such a young age. She is vocal about her stance and is protective of Anne.
Anne’s grandmother. She is a bright, upbeat individual who smiles even at the most difficult times. She raised Anne as a child and doesn’t judge Anne for how she has changed.
Anne’s conservative distant family members. They disapprove of Anne and her mother’s decision to leave the country, and even more so Anne’s loss of her culture and mother tongue. They aren’t afraid to berate her for it.
