Cookie
Frequently berated for breaking his hyper-fussy house rules, as well as for her lack of looks, confidence and friends, Beauty lives in uneasy fear whenever Dad's home. Her pretty, sweet mum is equally afraid of him. Eventually, after an unbearable birthday party, amidst fears that Dad's temper is out of control, Mum and Beauty run away. They find themselves in an idyllic seaside resort where their new-found freedom and a moment of culinary inspiration give them a hobby, an income and even a new nickname for Beauty whose dreams all come true -- and she deserves it!
