The point of view of this passage is that of—

Samantha, the eldest of the three sisters, was sixteen years old. She was pretty, with thick dark hair, large eyes, and a sweet nature. She always felt the need to please others. Fourteen-year-old Heather was very tall, thin, and athletic. She often reminded people of a bird—always flying from place to place in a great hurry. Heather had keen brown eyes, like rich chocolate. Those eyes saw everything and everyone. Madison, or Maddy, was a happy girl of eleven. She never made trouble or got in anyone's way. Maddy was her aunt's favorite.
