Ada and Agnes have a complicated sisterly relationship where Ada is the more subservient sister, always trying to smooth things out. Ada sees Marion's arrival as an opportunity to protect and guide her, something she feels was lacking in her own life. Ada is sweet and innocent, but there is a subtle cleverness to her.
