The Padavona sisters Julia, Sylvia, Cecilia and Emeline were raised in a Catholic household where their mother taught them to respect saints while their father, Charlie, was an idealistic dreamer who could not provide a financially stable life for his family.
The four sisters resemble the ones in Little Women. Julia and Sylvia carry the attributes of Meg and Jo, respectively. Cecilia is artsy and determined like Amy, and Emeline has a kind heart and selfless behavior, much like Beth.
