Sonja Bettencourt came to the Sanders Ranch at Halloween. She was the tallest of the three with a cap of short red hair and a peaches and cream completion. As with most red heads she had a crop of freckles across the bridge of her nose. At 13, Sonja was bossy and had a temper to match her red hair.
Sonja had come to stay with Michael and Marian Sanders in August before school started. Her mother had remarried recently and Sonja was having trouble adjusting to her new step-father. She had been so unhappy she had run away. When her mother found her, Sonja cried because she didn’t feel like she belonged at home any more. Sonja’s step-father, Jack Franken, was a real estate agent and counted Michael Sanders as a close friend. It was Uncle Mike who had suggested Sonja come stay at the ranch for a while. So here she was staying with the Sanders and she loved it. Sonja was proving to have a quirky sense of humor. She was keeping the Sanders household on its toes.
