How does Kiristi act

Kirsti is rather rude..... she doesn't like the soldiers, and she does nothing to hide it.

"And who is this?" he asked, looking to Annemarie's side. Kirsti had appeared there suddenly, scowling at everyone.

"My little sister." She reached down for Kirsti 's hand, hut Kirsti, always stubborn, refused it and put her hands on her hips defiantly. The soldier reached down and stroked her little sister's short, tangled curls. Stand still, Kirsti, Annemarie ordered silently, praying that somehow the obstinate five-year-old would receive the
message.

But Kirsti reached up and pushed the soldier's hand away. "Don't," she said loudly.
