Who's responsible for Sister's downfall?

Everyone could see that she appeared to be, but wasn't a very strong person. She had the hard-as-nails outlook but she was weak to temptation.

Eventhough there were many obsticles in her path, she chose the wrong way to cope with her insecurities.

I've often wondered if any of the other characters were to blame for her demise.

Such as:

Levi- for introducing her to Satin and becoming a member of his gang to impress her.

Effie- for not being the deciplinary figure she should have been.

Sparkle- for supplying Sister's habit by giving her money to buy the dope that eventually killed her.

Satin- for beating her and getting her hooked on the dope.

Stix- for not cracking down on her as the group's manager and just letting it happen.

Tune Ann- for not saying anything to curb Sister's overt behavior.


The only character that gave Sister "what for" was Delores, who seemed to be the only one to care enough to tell her she's going no where with Satin or her life. Of course Effie does tell Sister that Satin is no good, but Sister doesn't listen to her. We never see the urgentcy of Effie's plead to Sister not to good down that road of drugs and self-destruction. Instead we see Effie along with the others just let Sister do what Sister wants to do, regardless of the effects her actions will have on them and the untimely end of Sister's life.

So besides Sister making the decision to be a drugged out piece of **** for Satin, who else do you think is to blame for her downfall????? Anyone?
