cornelia

explanation:

we don't know all that much about cornelia aside from what granny tells us about her, along with what we can gather from her few lines of dialogue. it's hard to picture her, too, since we're not given any details about her mannerisms or what she looks like. she could be dressed like a circus clown, for all we know.

even though we wouldn't recognize cornelia if we ran into her on the street, we can't but feel a lot of sympathy for this character. first of all, she's super nice and granny pretty much treats her like dirt. she's constantly asking granny if she needs anything and granny usually responds by snapping at her. here's a typical exchange:

"i thought you might want something."

"i do. i want a lot of things. first off, go away and don't whisper." (14-15)
