Description This one is a continuation, so to speak, from my previous drawing. During the slumber party Frannie was having with her daughters where they were trying on clothes, and all, Frannie noticed that Maricela wasn't there, so she decided to ask her if she wanted to join. Maricela refused to without so many words and shut herself back in her room. Frannie, who has usually been a tough-skinned girl her whole life, felt a bit hurt after such a brief exchange. As the girls went off to bed, Frannie told Kadeem what had happened between her and Maricela. Kadeem suggested that he go talk to her, not only to find out what was wrong with Maricela, but to just get to know her better. It took some time for Frannie to work up some courage to go talk to her daughter, but she did and went to Maricela's room.

The two got into a deep conversation where Maricela revealed that she had been feeling a bit jealous towards Frannie. This feeling of jealousy wasn't something that Maricela realized until Frannie took the time off to spend with the girls. All four girls have heard stories told by their dad, Kadeem, of Frannie's bad behavior as a little girl, but he kinda told them in a way that he admired Frannie. He always told them that she was rude, mean, and getting into all sorts of trouble, but that she was also fearless and "badbutt." (Kadeem doesn't like to swear, especially in front of his daughters). XD Even though Frannie was pretty much a delinquent when she was still a beautiful, strong girl who was able to win a boy's heart. Maricela feels kind of conflicted with herself that maybe if she, herself, was a bad girl that maybe boys would like her, too. Maricela, overall, is not a very self-confident person in both appearance and personality. She sees herself, through others' eyes, as a boring, goody-two-shoes, nerdy girl, especially after she experienced a heart-breaking moment from her crush:

After hearing this, Frannie felt really bad that Maricela is feeling all these emotions and reassured her daughter that she is just as beautiful and fearless as she is, and that all she needed was some time for it to come out. Frannie told Maricela that it's not important what boys or anyone else thinks about her. The important thing is not what one thinks about themselves, but rather what they know about themselves. And just because Maricela thinks of herself as weak, ugly, or cowardly, doesn't mean that's true. Frannie sees that Maricela is more than what she thinks and that one day, Maricela will prove herself wrong about her initial perceptions of herself.

I love Maricela's bone dress ahh 😍
Aww poor Maricela. I understand why she can be jealous. Usually shy girls are invisible and a magnet to jerks. It can be very hard to step out of your comfort zone but Im sure she can since she does have a lot of support to her family. She did a huge step by going to HS with her sister. She should be proud of herself for that. 
Maybe she can volunteer somewhere and occupy herself. (Maybe she can volunteer in her moms work? It would be cool to see she designing with her mom sknce Maricela designs her own clothes) 

Im sure she will find a boyfriend when she reaches her mid 20s (thats when most people will find thier first love)
I agree with Frannie. Its not good to impress other people. Like we dont know what they are closed doors. She should love herself first before finding a bf.
Being bad attitude will not necessarily get you popular. Marisol is sweet and she got a bf. Its all about people connecting 😊

Thank you!
Yeah, it kinda turned Maricela off to the idea of finding romance...for now.
Actually, I had an interesting idea about that, and I'll hopefully be able to upload
it this week. That is true that the more time she spends alone, the worse it will
get for her, mentally and emotionally. She does need to be strong in both aspects
because her mental and emotional state will have an impact on her powers. 
You bring up a good point about her volunteering, and I think it'll be at the library,
since she loves books. Agreed! It'll also be cool to see her working alongside her mom!
Frannie could definitely use Maricela's Sew-N-Go to make the process go by faster!
Maricela's Sew 'n' Go


We'll see. The spin-off series will probably end after the triplets (Marisa and Marisol, really)
graduate high school, so I'm not exactly sure what their lives will be like as adults. ALTHOUGH,
maybe as an adult, Maricela will live in outer space with her grandma and fight alien crime with her.
Haha, weird to hear Frannie actually give sound advice, but yes, I agree with you. That's also
true that we don't truly know a person until time reveals their true selves. That's a good point!
That's also true; Frannie just got lucky with Kadeem. He was just attracted to her feisty side,
as well as her physical appearance, which is weird, because most people were afraid of, or just didn't
like Frannie. XD 
Yes! You're also right about Marisol; I mentioned that to the person who commented below named Cartoonygothica.

Yeah she dont need romance right away but Im sure she will find it when its unexpected. She gotta push herself to be social first so she can see how people behave. Who to avoid and approach.  

Yeah I know how you feel. You want to end the story and dont want to write about the character aftermath for the audience to use their imagination what will happen to them next xD

Mariecla shows a huge sign of depression. Her self doubt and hating herself. On a plus side she has a huge support from her family.
Frannie didnt had much of support when she was a kid. She had to comfort herself and ran away from her abusers. Shes was agressive because she was living in a hostile environment. It might took her time to trust anyone again. 😭
Being tough is sometimes sad.

Yes that would be awesome if she volunteer in a library xD I can imagine her reading to children her favorite spooky books and the kids like it 😆
The invention are awesome and convenient. Frannie dont have to sew anymore!

[If Maricela was jealous of her mother, because of the latter's reputation for being a bad girl in her youth, then has this jealousy also extended toward Marisa?]

No, even though Frannie and Marisa share the same
type of personality, Maricela doesn't see them as the same type of person. 
Despite her troubled past, Frannie became a successful owner of a fashion brand
and is married to a guy who flat out adores her, whereas Marisa
is just the bratty, delinquent sister (for now).  

Seeing her mother overcome the obstacles that she faced when she was younger
kinda makes Maricela feel less in some sort of way. Probably
because they have different personalities: Frannie being fearless, outspoken, determined
whereas Maricela is more reserved, passive, quiet. I guess Maricela sees it 
as a "nice guys finish last" kind of situation. Plus, living in a rich family, Maricela and her sisters
don't have much to struggle with, since they're not living in any hardships, or anything.
I guess when you have no struggles, it makes you feel weak in a way, since you never had to 
work for anything, so you have no skills to develop, which makes you useless. At least, that's
how Maricela sees it, since she's a very pessimistic person.

[I see. Maricela's views are somewhat understandable. I haven't dealt with poverty or been forced to fend for myself; I've been pretty sheltered. As dysfunctional as my family is, my basic needs were almost, if not always met. I can't say I've developed many skills, partly because I always had someone to take care of me and partly because I'm slow to take initiative and push myself. I don't think I would necessarily be jealous of someone like Frannie, but I would certainly struggle to relate.]

Well, I guess Maricela has a level of admiration for mom
getting over her bad-girl issues. The jealousy stems from 
Maricela's fear of not being able to overcome the negative feelings she has towards herself.
Frannie, with Kadeem's help, was able to squash her delinquent
behavior to better herself, but Maricela isn't sure that she'll defeat her
feelings of self-doubt to better her own self. Frannie had the strength 
to do that, but Maricela's not so sure if she, herself, has it. And even though
this is not as important, the fact that Frannie was able to win a guy's heart even though
she was a bad girl also makes Maricela feel like a loser...which really shouldn't be the
case, considering the fact that Marisol is a good girl and she has a boyfriend.

[Yeah, characters who redeem themselves and overcome their challenges are often admirable. Maricela's fear of not being able to overcome her insecurity is pretty relatable.]

Que triste este dibujo, pero que bello también ;u; ¿Frannie es como la madrastra de Maricela y sus hermanas entonces?

SolaSista In reply to 8NICOPINK8 [2019-11-20 02:57:54 +0000 UTC]

Nah, Frannie es su madre.
Es solo que Frannie está tan comprometida
con su trabajo que apenas estuvo involucrada en la vida de sus hijas.
