"I'm Elsa!" She greets jubilantly at being spoken to by a long-time heroine. "I spent half my childhood in Sweden... Do you... really think my accent is okay? Some like it, some don't." She was told by a few people, Americans from where her mother lived, that she would be more popular if she...- Elsa

Elsa thanked @Nace Bilby when he gave her directions to the library, but she still couldn't pet the dog... yet. Thankfully, the other instructors were having a mini meeting and she excused herself to go hang with the other detectives. Immediately, she saw ACME's famous redhead junior detective...- Elsa

Elsa watched the German Shepherd puppy from the corner of her eye, periodically. Did it just bark? Was it barking at her? Did it sense her fear? Eventually, she saw the older agents and approached them, still holding tight to her book of Epic poems. Then she thought she should learn to be more...- Elsa

Elsa was 13 going on 14, and was on her first trip outside of the security of family vacations. She was in a summer exchange thing and was among the youngest detectives in the Junior Detective program at ACME. She was tall for her age so she might seem 15 or 16 already, but inside she was still...- Elsa

ACME Spring Break
After receiving her weapon from @Colleen, Gudrun felt somewhat safer, but that idea didn't last too long. The descending wingsuits looked mesmerizing, but when one suddenly appeared in front of her, she panicked, shooting the taser in his direction. She saw the wingged man duck so fast, she... -
ACME Spring Break
Gudrun Nygård greeted everyone and was speaking with @Colleen when they decided to go outside to have a little air. The sea breeze was nice this time of year and Gudrun was happy to make a new friend. While the Swedish girl was still new, and usually shy, she was making good progress meeting... -
Q & A Your character's favorite color, and why?
I like Burnt Sienna, it's one of the original pigments used for earth tones. Because it was named for the city-state of Siena, it brings back so much history and lore only with its name. The Italians call it Terra di Siena, and the pigment was mined near Tuscany, formerly the Republic of Siena.- Elsa

Q & A Your Character's Favorite Food(s), and how come?
My childhood favorite is vegetable stew. Simple Italian style and easy to make. My grandmother used to cook it when we visited her. I would be all wrapped in layers of pajamas and socks because winter was so cold, and the warm soup was soooo delicious! Her secret incredients was truffle oil.- Elsa

Q & A Your character's greatest obsession
Stories and lore! I love the mythology and legends. Every story tells about our own history in different ways that even history cannot dictate. My father purchased books for me about Greek mythology as a child, so I looked at the pictures when I could not read.- Elsa

ACME Spring Break
Gudrun Nygård was very excited for her first real Sorority party... until she found out it was a sort of picnic at the park, and wasn't about girls doing things things boys didn't know they did. She had never been to any gathering that required a 2-weeks invitation before either, so this was...

Did you know....the horns on the viking's helmets are a myth? The popular image of the "horned Viking" can be traced back to the 1870s. Costume designer Carl Emil Doepler created horned helmets for Richard Wagner’s opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen to enhance the characters' theatrical presence. (I BELIEVE in the Where in Time game, they tell us this too....)
