Description
Annette Burnier, age twelve, lives with her family in a small Swiss Alpine village. Her family is poor. She has a five-year-old brother, Daniel, whom she calls Dani. Their mother died giving birth to Dani, and Annette has since taken on a significant caregiving role for her brother.
She is sweet-natured and well-liked in the village, a hard-working and determined top student in her class. These traits earn her respect, even from school bullies who avoid making her angry. However, she possesses a hair-trigger temper and can be stubborn, spiteful, and prone to harsh arguments.
Her life revolves around her family, and she exhibits a strong protective instinct for Dani. Her best friend is a boy named Lucien Morel. Their friendship becomes severely strained after a tragic incident where Dani falls off a cliff during a heated argument between them. Lucien is deemed unwillingly responsible for the fall, which breaks Dani’s leg; doctors say he may never walk again without crutches.
The accident triggers a dark change in Annette. Overwhelmed by anger, resentment, and grief, she becomes deeply hateful toward Lucien, blaming him for the tragedy and refusing to forgive him for a long time. Her resentment was partly fueled by jealousy over a competition Lucien was about to win before their argument. In a moment of spite, she intentionally breaks a wooden horse carving he made, an act she immediately regrets. This sparks her self-realization about her prolonged anger and grudge-holding.
She eventually finds the strength to forgive Lucien, rekindling their friendship and moving from a state of resentment toward reconciliation. Throughout this period, she始终 strives to remain a kind and caring sister to Dani, who helps her retain her underlying goodness.
Annette is capable in various domestic tasks, though she was initially a poor cook, making a soup so sweet her father refused it. She later improves her skills with help from her great-aunt. She is outdoorsy but not opposed to feminine tasks like sewing or housework, blending tomboyish and girly traits.
Her family includes her father, Pierre Burnier, a kind and caring widower, and her great-aunt, Claude Martha, who moved in to help after the mother’s death and often acts as a rational conscience for Annette.
