In my book, Threads, there is a very quiet girl who has dyslexia, a dark skinned beauty with a huge light Afro and a flair for design. She is undiscovered and not helped until Edie, a life saving English world-helper, finds her and shows her how to read, to write, to make numbers not look a jumble of peculiar 1-letter words, and mostly, help her from the presumed loss of her elder brother Henry, out fighting in Uganda.
Edie is a prim and proper, neat-as-a-pin, Harvard future girl, who enrolls the help of her two best friends once she finds Crow. Nonie is bright, colourful, interesting, short, shaped like a rectangle and a support to Crow. She pieces together amazing looks from charity shops and Crow knows that one day, she'll design her amazing clothes for Nonie. Nonie decides to be Crow's agent, finding good oppurtunities for Crow to showcase her fantabulous talent.
Jenny is Edie's other best friend who was a given a roll in a movie, and was terrible in it, and looked terrible too - spots, and terrible dresses who made her too-developed-for-her-age body look like a block of wood. But then Crow came and designed a world famous to-be dress scattered with swarovski crystals that flattered Jenny just right, and she bought some sparkly louboutins, and then she rose up to amazing actor status, so every body was happy - Crow got her deserved debut, and Jenny had fabulous style. Yay!
