98, She never solves her problems with murder. Or at least never got caught for it.
99, She solves her problems with murder, and not with sissy, stealthy, thiefy bullshit like a certain other family member.
100, She died in a terrible accident when she was still young and pure. Your parents think she's perfect and you can never live up to their expectations. You swore never to tell them her secrets, so they like her better because you keep your promise. At least that's one thing you manage to do right.
