Aunt Harriet
Anne is a member of the group of Waknukians that can communicate telepathically. She realizes that there are an unequal number of girls and boys in the group, and that some of the girls will have to marry outside of the group, or not marry at all. Despite the protests of the other group members, she falls in love with and decides to marry Alan. To make the marriage easier, she cuts off all communication with the group. But when it becomes clear that Anne told Alan about her and the other’s telepathy, Uncle Axel kills Alan. When Alan is found dead, Anne kills herself, leaving behind a note that exposes and blames the rest of the group.
