Annabelle Parsons

During their birthday party in Chapter 5, they the guests if they would join a game until Constance angrily gives in but makes it a condition you join. If you don't, you will say that she has a point and she will answer that at least someone understands where she is coming from. Instead, the two sisters decide to "go pester the Bowmans", especially since Constance heard that Miss Donna has a new suitor. In Book 3, Chapter 6, she and Cordelia both ask you if you can check on Annabelle after their argument since they don't want to make their father even angrier than he already is.

From that point, Mr. Harper becomes acquainted with the Parsons twins. Despite the fact that Cordelia is the one flirting with Sir Luke, Constance seems to consider him a great friend.
