That's why I see Dina as smarter than Nina. She got all the money they have by marrying rich men (it's like prostitution, only it lasts longer...) and she supports her sister because their parents were useless, and so she looks after them with her looks.

Darren Dreamer... now that really is interesting. I didn't even notice it in the story (Dirk/Darren are too interchangeable for me to really follow :P)

I can understand the hurting people thing, and yes. I'd probably put it down to Daddy issues for her, but possibly also Mummy and Maid issues as well. Because she was probably the one who figured it out and Angela remains oblivious (because she's like that) and therefore unhurt, but Lilith can't understand why her dad would betray them like that and why her mum doesn't really fight at all etc etc etc.
Damn you! Your drabble will inspire one of my own!

The Calientes aren't a crime family to me. They're something much deeper and more evil (at least in my head :)
