Answer: Euphoric

To be euphoric means to be extremely happy and satisfied with a particular situation. In this excerpt, we learn that the character is extremely happy because of her actions. She helps her mother with the housework, flatters her, makes herself agreeable, and is happy to carry out orders. She also welcomes her father with a smiling face and studies. All of these details help us establish that the character is euphoric.
