Meet Pollie

 Tonight, we have Pollete, or as some would call her, Pollie. Some kids have bestest friends (or a bff as some choose to say); for Neslo, this girl is not one of them. In fact, she's the opposite. The only relation they share is in mutual friends who are also neighbors in this county. 

Pollie

 This is the pompous girl from your childhood who makes sure you know you're wrong (whether it be in pronunciation or definition of the word, you're wrong) and she makes you think twice before saying something that could make you look stupid. It's not that she's smarter than you; it's that she thinks she's practically a grown-up with how much she thinks she knows.

 Like most prissy girls, she much rather read her mystery novels (other-world Nancy Drew most likely) than get down in the gruff and dirty, physical outdoor play. But she's not all talk and snootiness. If she feels you need to be faceplanted into the mud, she will cast the first shoe into your backside and make sure you drown in soil.

 A rich girl relocated into the countryside. She lives in a family mansion built in what her mom considers one of the most wonderful of countrysides. With her father running a multi-million dollar corporation and her mother trotting the globe, Pollie lives with her butler, Jenkins.

 Far from leading a princess-lifestyle, her caretaker, Jenkins again, has strict guidelines on behavior and conducting herself to develop into a fine, sophisticated young lady.

 Unlike most rich girls, she doesn't swim in fine dresses and ponies bought with her daddy's money or have someone at her beck or call (though, she could if she wanted). Pollie's interest lies in intellectual and stimulating stories (mysteries) and cute adorable things. She's taught by Jenkins not to hate things, but every encounter with Neslo reinforces her Dislike List with "stupid things" sitting at the top. 

 Everything beyond her likes and dislikes would merely disinterest her, but as Jenkins tells her, everything she does should deserve her full effort, from school, to violin lessons, and especially presentation. However, her eye for clothes is 'offly' terrible and relies on her butler to fill her wardrobe with decent outfits. Kids' taste in fashion usually look better on paper. 

 Just be sure not to poke fun at her. Much like poking a bear, it's unsafe; except with Pollie, you'll be leaving with mouthful of dirt...and rocks. 

 So that's the county rich kid. Check back next time for the next girl in the group!
