ADIRA, 8-16 in the past, 40 in the present, the older sister, aspires to become wife, mother and homemaker. ADIRA a girl's name of Hebrew origin, means ‘strong,’ 'mighty.’ At times, ADIRA is willful, uncompromising. ADIRA quickly shifts to refined, cultured, thoughtful, amused, sarcastic, sardonic, frustrated, all the time, yet always striving for equanimity. ADIRA’S imagination helps fend off childhood demons. ADIRA is brunette, with healthy complexion, smooth skin tone, dresses in a modest, 1960s black pants, black sweaters with mock-neck top and black color women’s flats.

TOWER, age 6-14 in the past, 37 in the present. ADIRA’s younger sister appears almost ADIRA's twin, yet projects hurt, distress, indigence, adversity, disgrace, self-hatred, calamity. Overwhelmed by childhood and times, TOWER personifies inevitable downfall. TOWER presents with grey-hair, pale complexion, pockmarked skin. TOWER wears the same costume as ADIRA.
