In the beginning, she was a girl who was constantly being compared to her younger sister. They weren't similar in all things except their identical face. Both had purple eyes and silver hair, but people said Maria's was plainer and looked duller. People judged the both of them the moment they were born. Maria, mostly. Anna received almost all of the compliments.
This was why when Maria was tasked to be the next schoolmistress, she couldn't feel any happier. Despite the envy she had to go through, she was in a good trajectory. She didn't mind the people comparing her to Anna—she was the one chosen to inherit the title! Even when Maria was compared, she did not choose to study nor improve—her fate was already decided. She didn't need to do anything but wait, and be beautiful to land herself a handsome husband. It would make Anna miserable.
She did marry a magnificent man. Anna was left in the dark, and lived in Maria's shadows for years.
Until…
