Mother Superior was a head nun at a convent. She was a feminist she believed women should be respected. Men in this society treated women like work animals not people. Mother superior also had an foster home in her church which there was a small girl she was very close to her. Mother Superior taught this little girl everything. Pepita was the little girl's name and she was basically a daughter to Mother Superior.

When Donna Marie came to adopt Pepita Mother was worried for her because Donna Marie was crazy but she said it would be good to because she would get to see what it's like to live in the palace. Mother had an impact on Pepita because when she went to Donna's house she thought about what Mother said about always obeying your elders and this is when Pepita was left on the conner of the church when Donna went to the church to pray. She also had an effect on Donna Marie because Donna was always worried about someone else and never thought about herself and then she realize it was not worth worrying all the time about other people.

The death's that effected mother Superior's life were Esteban, Pepita, and Donna Marie. Pepita had an effect on Mother was Pepita was like a daughter to Mother and she taught her everything and she was going to follow and take over Mother's job. Then she lost the twins and she felt like she was loosing hope because these two were like her children. Then Donna Marie died and she left all her money to the church. She felt better when she received the money and Camellia help her to feel a whole lot better about the future.
