Character Bio: April
April is a rich girl. Her father owns the feed store in town and is also on the town council. He pulls great influence in the town and uses his influence to get April out of trouble often.
April is not like the other well-off girls in town. She doesn't like people hanging around her for her money and influence and she scoffs at convention in hopes to drive people away from her. She hangs with Martha's gang because they ask nothing of her and are always there when she needs them.
April wants the attention of her mother, but her mother is involved in herself. She belongs to a women's organization in nearby ??? and spends her time at the hairdresser getting ready for the next social engagement. April was very close to her nanny growing up, but the nanny was dismissed when April turned 14. She really misses the nanny and writes to her often. In some ways, losing the nanny was like losing a mother since her mother was never actually involved in her life.
April engages in many risky behaviors in an attempt to get her parent's attention. In a way, her brash behavior is what attracts Martha's group to April. She is the perfect entertainment in a sleepy small town. They know she will survive the blows and they watch in admiration as she performs her stunts.
While April seems like a rock to her friends, she thinks of herself as weak. She needs her circle of friends to keep her going. Her mood swings are often dramatic but somewhat predictable. April seems larger than life, the goddess of the group. She's creative and comes up with all the ideas. And because she needs the group so badly, she is the one who will keep them together even after they all go their own way.
