Who is E.D. Applewhite from Surviving the Applewhites and what is their importance?

E.D. Applewhite is the middle child in the eccentric and artistic Applewhite family. At twelve years old, she is very sensitive to the family's emphasis on artistic talent, particularly because she doesn't' feel like she possesses any. E.D. regularly feels that she is the invisible Applewhite and that her family doesn't even know she's there because the projects she focuses her time on are more scholarly and academic than artistic. E.D. is the only Applewhite who takes offence to the idea of Jake Semple coming to live with them primarily because she has been asked to let Jake borrow her academic curriculum, something she took months to create specifically for her own academic journey.
