Mother- Mama
Adeline's mother died giving birth to her and ever since, Adeline has been considered bad luck and made to feel like an unwanted child.

Father- Joseph
Adeline's father married Jeanne Prosperi (Niang) after Mama passed away and has supported and loved Niang more than Adeline, therefor Adeline has felt like she is unloved by her own father. This is shown when he asks, "I'm afraid that I've forgotten your Chinese name. Is it Jun-quing?" and, "In our family, the step children's birthdays were unknown. We counted for so little that our birthdays were never remembered, let alone celebrated." This shows that her father didn't know her enough to remember what her name or birthday was as he was always focusing on Niang and her children.

Stepmother- Niang
(Jeanne Prosperi)

This is supported by Niang when she yells at the stepchildren and says, " From now on, all of you are forbidden to go behind our backs to trouble Ye Ye or Aunt Baba for money.”

For one of Adeline's school projects, she had to write about her best friend, in this scenario, she wrote about Aunt Baba. In her writing, she stated, " She is my best friend and cares about me in every way. Not only about my hair, my clothes and how I look; but also about my studies, my thoughts and what I am. Though I am really nothing, she makes me believe I am special."
