Clara Sue Cutler is a character in the Cutler Series by V.C. Andrews. She is the illegitmate daughter of Laura Sue Cutler and Bronson Alcott, but passed off as the daughter of Randolph, her paternity never questioned until it was revealed in Twilight's Child, in which Bronson Alcott openly admits to Dawn that he and Laura Sue had an affair which resulted in Clara Sue's conception.
Dawn[]
Clara Sue first appears at the Emerson Peabody school, where she is a cruel bully who immediately clashes with new student Dawn. Dawn is later stunned to learn that Clara Sue is in fact her sister. Clara Sue blackmails Dawn when Dawn hides Jimmy on the Hotel property, but she later tells Grandmother Cutler about Jimmy, and he is arrested. Clara Sue reveals that she hates Dawn because Clara Sue was the replacement for Dawn, and would never have been born if Dawn had not been kidnapped. Clara Sue resents Dawn for this, and promises to hate her forever because of it.
Secrets of the Morning[]
Clara Sue only appears at the end; when the truth of Dawn's paternity is revealed, she derides Dawn as a freak. It is obvious that Dawn and Clara Sue's relationship has not improved any.
Twilight's Child[]
Clara Sue continues to be a problem for Dawn after Dawn becomes head of Cutler's Cove Hotel. Clara Sue pulls mean-spirited pranks on Dawn, until Dawn throws her out. Clara Sue then attempts to blackmail Dawn by telling the public about her true paternity. Dawn, in turn tells Clara Sue that her biological father is Bronson Alcott, and this holds her off temporarily. Dawn banishes Clara Sue from the Hotel, and Clara Sue sneaks back in and attacks Dawn in her office, causing the pregnant Dawn to have a miscarriage. Clara Sue runs away after this and even takes a young Christie out with her trucker boyfriend Skipper without telling Dawn; when they return, Dawn orders her to never return to Cutler's Cove. Clara leaves with Skipper in his truck and they travel around the USA until they are killed in a truck accident.
