Anna strolled down the halls of the palace humming a cheery tune as she peered into rooms to see what everyone was doing. Her loveley white dress dragged elegantly behind her. Anna knew better than to be nosey but she could not help herself. All the princes and princesses were busy minding their own business and tending to their needs. Boredom got the better of Anna and she needed to socialize. She trotted into the living room to see Perrin resting on the couch. He seemed lifeless and depressed, which was not really a surprise to Anna. Perrin had never really seemed content or happy living in the palace.

"Hello, Little Brother!" greeted Anna, sitting on the armrest of the couch, "Why don't you play me some lovely music on the piano, you know how much I love to hear you play." She hoped her request might cheer him up. His disposition always upset her. Perrin's depression had bothered Anna since he became part of the royal family. What bothered her most was that she could never change his way of thinking. If she wanted, she could force him to be happy or read his thoughts but she loved her siblings too much to control them. As the oldest princess, she had to look out for her brothers and sisters. Her father and step-mother were always much too busy to tend to all the children.
