Dólokhov’s sister is mentioned only as his hunchback sister, living with him in Moscow. The book gives no further account of her personality, relationships beyond this family connection, or role in events. She remains a brief but distinct presence in the background of his household.
Description
The only stated physical feature is her hunchback. The text supplies no information about her age, height, build apart from that distinguishing feature, coloring, hair, eyes, or facial appearance. Her clothing and demeanor are not described, so any rendering should keep those details understated and unspecified.
