Joanne (The Daughter): Joanne or Jo is a smart, pampered, loved but sensitive child. Like any other child of four years, she is fond of stories. She is innocent and loves the happy ending stories. She lives in her imaginary world of fairies, magic wands, miracles, etc. and is not prepared for any harsh reality of life. She feels pain for Roger Skunk when he is rejected by his friends. Fun, games and peer appreciation mean much to her.
She is very logical and argumentative. She has her own mind and cannot accept that mothers can be so cruel as to hurt their children. When she is not able to persuade him to change the ending of the story, she urges her father to tell her another story.
Jo, like a young smart kid, is full of questions. She is learning new things every day in the school and is very inquisitive. It gives her maturity. She is brave enough not to accept something that she doesn’t believe in.
