*Page numbers may differ from other books*
p.197 - First mention of Fernanda del Carpio. She is supposedly very beautiful, marries Aureliano Seguno, and names their first-born son Jose Arcadio.
p.217-219 - Chosen as the most beautiful of the five thousand most beautiful women. Not originally from Macondo, Fernanda was brought to Macondo to be named the Queen of Madigascar. Survived a Liberal protest that overtook her grand procession into Macondo, hinting at her conservative nature...If she is in fact to be a Queen, it will have a resounding impact on the Liberal Macondo...
Marries Aureliano Segundo shortly after the protests, though the marriage was dwindling after only two months. Aureliano has an affair with Petra Cotes, dressing her up like the Queen of Madigascar.
p.221 - Very sheltered, kept unaware of world events outside the home. Rewarded with an allowance for making funeral wreaths.
"Until puberty Fernanda had no news of the world except for the melancholy piano lessons taken in some neighboring house..."
p.222 - When she was little, Fernanda saw what turned out to be her great-grandmother's ghost. Perhaps a blog entry on the running total of characters that have seen ghosts is in order.
