My "Sisbling"

Today, I shall introduce you to my “sisbling”, I call her so because if you have a sis like her you’ll go bling bling. She is a big fat book of stories that could colour each and every shade of love, care, happiness, peace, sturdiness and anger. Right from my childhood days she used to hook me up with her tales and at times pissed me off with her advisory moralistic tales. But in here, I shall scribble some of her unique ways.
She is a high spirited girl who is madly into Greek and Roman mythology that these mythic stories decorated my childhood imagination. Every story she read and every movie watched was my chance of listening and watching to her way of narrating it. The best times were when we strolled to church together, a one hour long journey to and fro that would be packed with stories, our likes, dislikes, people and what not. To add to it both of us were good at fabricating stories. I even remember the incident that took place when I was in the 1st grade and she in 2nd. Both of us watched a ghost movie when left alone at home and was pretty scared after watching it that we stayed glued together even when we went to the washroom. All of a sudden, a cockroach, an insect that both of us had so far only happened to see in our kindergarten textbooks, appeared out of the thin air and flew past us. None of us knew that a cockroach could actually “fly” and we cooked up tales that the ghost in the movie had entered into the insect to kill us for watching the movie and not studying as advised by our parents. We screamed the hell out of us and cuddled to each other while trembling to dial Papa’s number so as to narrate the entire episode. Finally, the phone call cleared all the misunderstandings and even invited fresh set of scoldings for watching the movie. Well, that was it and now back to my sisbling.
She is this person who uploads a post in a social media and likes her own post first and foremost. 
A girl who sits in the front bench purposefully so as to doze off arguing that the teacher’s eye won’t get you there.
A person who always carries an encyclopaedia with her and won’t call it a day unless she has gone through the prescribed portion for the day. 
She is a gypsy who has mugged up the world map with the aid of assigning different countries to each of our cousins. I shall tell you how she works it out, she would initially jot down the names of our family members and then assign each one of them a nation as a vacation tour plan and then learn about it in detail. And it’s her leisure to explain about the nation to the respective cousin as soon as a get-together is arranged at home.
Another of her hobbies is to try out different cuisines and this passion has even kindled her to eat fried worms which is quite unbelievable and unthinkable for me.
Further, she is pretty into animated movies and has an ability of connecting with people through movies. For instance, she has reserved the movie Croods to cherish Papa, Brave for Amma, How to train your Dragon for our Rooney (our pussy cat) and Frozen to depict the chemistry between us. So, every time she watches any these movies, either we would be burdened by her emotion being by her side or the respective person commemorated would receive a phone call if far away.  
Moreover she is the most noisy person at home and without her it’s hard for me to turn the house topsy-turvy.
She boosts the confidence in all of us and instills a new spirit.
She could screw me up with her curly hair pulled down mocking at mine saying that hers is longer and if I manage to grow, she would plot with Papa to cut my hair. 
And the one thing that makes her special and me hate her the most is that she would give up on things I love the most, pretending not to like it even though it would be her favourite. 
So, my noisy naughty Sisbling, Do you wanna build a Snowman?
