Adult Fear: For a lot of people, it's having a relative like Poppy. It's definitely the case for Amber In-Universe, as she has to start a new life with a lie that she'll only be gone for two weeks to get away from Poppy and their enabling mother, only to get stuck with them again when she gets sick.

Because You Can Cope

Because You Can Cope: Poppy and Amber's mother claims that Poppy is "fragile" and guilt trips the latter into bowing to her younger sister's demands. Case in point is when Amber is due to go on holiday, Poppy throws a fit, and their mother pleads with Amber to cancel, claiming that she'll have plenty of other opportunities to go on holiday while Poppy will not — and that while cancelling her holiday will be tough on Amber, Poppy (and their mother) will be even worse off if she doesn't, so Amber should be the one to make the sacrifice.

Ambiguous Disorder: There's definitely something wrong with the titular Poppy but whatever it is isn't quite said, however, we do know is that she's emotionally unstable and will get violent in times when she doesn't get her way.
