Added DiffLines:

* CracksInTheIcyFacade: When Connie Kendal is first introduced, she is bitter and cynical after her parents' divorce, with her being dragged from her former home in California to the small town of Odyssey. She stops by Whit's End looking for a shop that had advertised a job, because she wanted to earn enough money to go back to California to live with her Father. Hearing her story, Mr. Whitaker offers to hire her on the spot and pay her the same amount that she would have made at the other shop. He had noticed that despite her cynical demeanor, she [[FriendToAllChildren had a soft spot for kids]].

* NotSoDifferent: From Jules, her half-sister. While Jules has a bit more of a nihilistic attitude than Connie did, it's unquestionable that Jules's personality bears an uncanny resemblance to Connie prior to the latter's conversion to Christianity, which is probably not entirely unintentional.
