Physical Description: Taking after her father, Greta possesses the common Norwegian traits of fair skin and hair. Locks of honey gold fall to cascade in soft waves to the small of her back, as untamed as the forests in which she resides. Across her porcelain fair skin is a spattering of freckles that darken with the summer months and fade to little more than the barest hint during winter. From her mother, on the other hand, Greta — like her brother, Hanzo — acquired her petite stature, standing at a diminutive 5 feet and 2 inches. Her eyes are the seafoam green of the waters off the coast of her fjordic home. Her features are soft, rounded, her expressions often calm and unassuming and often bearing a smile upon her lips. Despite her demure stature, Greta carries herself with an assurance that befits her pureblood inheritance.

Mental Description: Seen and not heard, the way it ought to be. Patient and humble, Greta is a girl of few words, often choosing instead to demonstrate her thoughts through purposeful action. Had she attended Hogwarts, she surely would have been sorted among the loyal and diligent House of the badgers. In spite of her hard-working nature, she's no stranger to fun. Greta is quick to smile, and even quicker to pad after her brother to accompany him on his many adventures, never much liking to be too far from her kin.

Biography: Greta (née Margarethe) Fransson is the second child and only daughter to purebloods Astrid and Jakob Fransson; and younger sister to Hanzo (née Hans) Fransson. Born to midwives in the town of Flåm, Norway, Greta enjoyed a quiet and diligent upbringing on her family farm located near the coast of a rather fantastical little fjord. To many, it would be a vacation paradise. To her, it was — and still is — home.

It was a peaceful and somewhat reclusive upbringing. In part, this was due to family desire to ensure no muggles were made aware of their less-than-mundane existence. More so, however, their self-isolation from the nearby fishing village was fueled by parental notions of superiority and a distaste for those humans they deemed unworthy to be graced by their presence. This notion of blood superiority would bleed subconsciously into Greta's worldly understanding as she developed, prejudices to be played out without any true realization of their existence.

Born within a year's turn of her brother, Greta became essentially — whenever she was permitted to have her way — inseparable from him. As he labored, performing chores around the farm to tend to the various beasts raised by their father, so too did she; as Hanzo worked to assist his mother in sorting and preparing supplies for her wand-making, so too did Greta invest herself with focus and diligence; while her brother wandered the wild forests within the perimeter surrounding their home, not far would one find his little sister attempting to retrace the divots of each of his footfalls with those of her own. And when he began to return home after his stay at the muggle schools, Greta (who had chosen to remain home with their parents to be home-schooled rather than suffer the inapplicable studies of the muggles) would venture as close to the village as she dared to accompany him on his way home, pestering him with questions about his learnings every step of the way.

It came as no surprise, then, that Greta was overjoyed to receive her invitation to Durmstrang alongside Hanzo, and quickly shut down any alternative suggestion by her mother to attend Beauxbatons (not that such a suggestion ever did, or even would have, come). And when Hanzo expressed interest to join the school's Quidditch team, as too did Greta. Whether he liked it or not, she was his shadow, looking up to her brother as though he himself were a hero of their folklore and striving to be as courageous and free-spirited as he.
