Meet Addy: An American Girl
She is mentioned only in passing by Momma the first day she and Addy run away. Aduke had the cowrie shell with her when she was captured and brought to America as a slave. The shell was passed down and given to Addy along with one of Sam's shoelaces. Her parents also gave her name to Addy.

It can be correctly believed that she was Nigerian, as her name is Yoruban. It means "beloved."
