I'm looking for personality traits and fears that might steam from a person whose sibling was favored above them. I have jealousy, hatred and envy. I also have "no feeling good enough" as a fear.
I want these emotions to be directed towards the sibling receiving the favoritism not the one giving it. So for a long time my character has seen her sister as the problem, not their mother. I'm trying to think of things that could develop from this situation. I've been working on this character for months and are struggling for some reason. Maybe I've over-worked myself on it? But here's the situation at the start of the book.
The sister is sick, slowly dying and has been for a long time and the Mother is working relentlessly to save her, this means my character has little to no attention from the mother and often feels neglected. The sister can do no wrong and is spoiled while my character must look after her, sacrifice for her, and support the highly emotional mother as her options for saving her child begin to run out. She feels if her sister wasn't around life would be happier and she'd finally get her mother's love. She strives for her Mother's love, attention and approval and she thinks the only way to get it is through servitude.
