Yah, that is fair. In the case of Shelly who has betrayed whom? I feel that both parties are equally at fault in a way.

Well, absolutely. Shelly has definitely betrayed her family (though, also her own interests) by petulantly undermining the business. But to the extent any of these work in the morality tale vein, it's only in relationship to the big babies' actions that lead to their regression. To the extent I really pursued the idea, the thought was just that it was a fun way to (somewhat) vary up the other characters' backstories.

 

Of course, you could certainly call the punishment it's own kind of betrayal (Shelly would!), but none of the girls' punishments are remotely proportional to the respective crimes, so that wasn't my thinking in assigning the virtues.
