Vera and all of her siblings belong to the incredible @jokerislandgirl32
Daphne wondered one night, not for the first time, why couldn’t she be more like the Varmitechs? They had their lives together and were doing more than she was. Daphne knows comparison is hard but it's difficult when Vera, who is barely older than Daphne, is an incredible musician with a 4.0 GPA along with being in varsity ballet and gymnastics, somehow maintained a cheerful attitude, and was so gorgeous. Vera was everything that Daphne wanted to be and wasn’t, and while she would never admit it, she was extremely jealous of her. Vera didn’t have perceivable flaws, at least according to Daphne. She was jealous of the entire Varmitech family, they seemed to have something that Daphne didn’t and would never have. Every sibling was so unique and good at what they did and truly cared about it and each other. Daphne was even jealous of the Varmitech parents. She knew why her parents had to get divorced, but missed the unity and strength that Violet and Zach project. Everyone around them could tell that they were deeply in love and there was no question to be had about it. Zach and Violet wer both involved in all of their children’s lives deeply, something Daphne always felt insecure about. Zach could remember tiny details of his five earthside children’s lives while her own father was struggling to remember his oldest daughter and only child with Donita’s birthday. Daphne seemed to be terrible at everything Henry was good at. The worst part for Daphne though was that all of the Varmitechs really cared about her. They incorporated her into their family vacations and spent their own free time to help her. They were impossible to hate, but Daphne was still jealous. She knew she brought important skills to the table, but they just felt so mediocre and terrible compared to the talents everyone else had. Daphne knew it was normal to feel insecure, but also felt guilty for feeling negative thoughts towards people who changed her life so fundamentally. They were rays of sunshine in her dark clouds, and she appreciated them and all they did more than they could ever know, even when she was feeling jealous of all they had.
