Ana was the real heroine in Frozen.

My birthday is March 11, same as my friend Alice.  She said for me to come to her house and have a party.

Reading

I think Helen is a pretty young girl who is almost 10 years old, and she is very shy.  She really likes wearing purple because that is her favorite color.  I can tell because her shirt is lavender, which is a shade of purple, and she is wearing a purple headband.  Her tights are a dark pink color that is very close to purple as well.  She is also wearing Converse sneakers that are a classic shoe that I also have.

Aileen is a much older girl who is also very pretty and not shy at all, unlike Helen.  She is wearing nude-color tights and long gray boots.  Even though she really loves purple, today she chose to wear a black dress with a sea-green vest over it.  She is wearing a gold fairy necklace that she bought last week at a Christmas market.  Her earrings are too big, according to Helen.  They look like Qing Dynasty antique earrings, even though she bought them on Taobao for a very inexpensive price.
