Sister Anne
		She started out as a fresh-faced, idealistic teenager, volunteering during summer break in a church program designed to help those in need in the South Pacific. During her tenure, the country's poverty and overpopulation caused rioting and eventually open revolt and civil war; her group was evacuated, but she chose to stay behind. You can imagine the horrors she's seen, and Laura Meredith Olsen-Kierney became Sister Anne two years later, at the height of the fighting. She and the other nuns left the island country when her mentor, Sister Anselmo, was murdered on the street by a woman who had earlier left her children in the care of the convent. Sister Anne was reassigned to a run-down orphanage in Hawaii, where her jungle survival instincts don't seem to get much play. But the youthful idealism that brought her to help those in need is still there, despite her starchy, no-nonsense manner. Cy had better watch his step -- there's no telling when sleeping volcanoes will erupt.
