Astrid Pertridge: Difference between revisions

'''Astrid Pertridge''' is a Sim who lives in [[Hidden Springs]]. She is the oldest daughter of [[Lonnie Pertridge]], sister of [[Eunice Pertridge]] and step-sister of [[Ella Carlisle]]. She is the only one among her mother and sister to be friends with Ella. She works at level 1 in the Musical career track as a Fan. She has always dreamed of becoming a princess. It is also mentioned in [[Hector Mendoza]]'s bio, who also works in the Music career track, that he might have come to Hidden Springs in order to encounter a young and mostly wealthy debutant, who is highly likely to be Astrid.▼

Astrid and her sister Eunice are an obvious parody of the cruel step-sisters in the tale Cinderella. He mother's (and her own) fondest wish is to see her marry the "prince" at the expense of the good-hearted step-sister, who is treated as less than a domestic, with a poor room. However,it's worth noting that Astrid, unlike her mother and sister, is friends with Ella. This might be a reference to the Disney adaptations of Cinderella: in the sequels of the original movie, one of the sisters, Anastasia, slowly becomes friends with Cinderella, and slighly turns against her mother (Astrid is distant friends with Lonnie).▼
