Gunda Torvik

Name: Gunda Torvik
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Magical Background: Half Blood
Magical Affiliation: Neutral
Wand: Mahogany, Dragon Heartstring, 14 inches, unyielding flexibility. Partial to hexes.

Physical Description: Stands 5'6 1/2 ft, weighing a healthy 140 lbs. Mesomorph body build, good muscle presence, womanly curves, broad. Aryan; Celtic skin type (meaning very pale), ash blonde hair, Egyptian blue eyes (hooded lids). Hair reaches chin (short), very straight and thin, shaggy bangs that drape into eyes. Heart face shape. Slight freckles on higher part of cheeks. No piercings or tattoos.

Clothing generally consists of a black v-neck sweater with dark brown cargo pants. Black leather belt with a silver clasp. On the outer thigh of her pants is a knife strap, and its put to good use by a sheathed, but fully visible (when the coat is unbuttoned all the way), hunting knife. Black ice climbing boots, spikes temporarily removed. Brown fur trench coat that reaches just below the knees, usually left open. Brown Russian fur hat generally worn at all times permitted. Generally binds her bosom down since it 'gets in the way'.

On first glance, many presume her male, and at this point she just has indifference to what gender she's called.

Personality: Very much a personality type A; organized, neat, and likes to keep to a schedule. Attempts to be respectful, especially to superiors, but can easily succumb to frustration and snap when dealing with those oblivious or trouble-making. She's generally mature, though has instances of naiveness due to growing up on such a small island.

Making friends is rather hard for her; her appearance usually intimidates any attempts to get close. The fact she rarely smiles doesn't help much either. Expressing herself outside of anger is rather hard for her. Gunda desperately would like a companion of some kind, especially since her canine can't exactly talk back, let alone travel all the way from Norway to Briton with her. The need for companionship has the possibility to get her into a bad ordeal, or place her into a situation to be abused for certain skills. Friendship is a good way to manipulate her; otherwise she's wary to 'outsiders'. Trust is something you have to earn, respect even more so, but offer friendship and she'll be trying her best to break down her own barriers to do what she can to make sure you don't leave her.

Gunda also has a bad habit of doing anything her father requests, accepting the fate he lays out for her openly, and pushing herself too hard to the point of unhealthiness. Deep inside her is a paranoia to lose what family she has left.

Indifferent to which gender she is identified a due to being surrounded by mainly male presence.

History: Born Gunda Torvik on January 7th in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway, to Mr. and Mrs. Torvik, the second daughter and youngest child of four. At 3 years of age, her witch mother got lost during a snow storm, and when she finally returned with a severe case of frost bite, died. From this point onward she was raised awkwardly by her muggle father and older siblings. Since then, Gunda has been trained from dawn 'til dusk by her ex. military father along with the rest of her family, from waking up at 5AM to go for a jog to push-ups to crunches and more. Mr. Torvik has grown slightly paranoid over physical durability due to his wife's death, and has strived to ensure great strength and discipline in his children. Having believed military martial arts was her greatest self-defence, it came as quite a shock when she received her letter at the proper age to attend Durmstrang Institute; everyone knew Mrs. Torvik was 'different', but she hadn't been around long enough to explain it could be inherited, apparently, or that there even was a magical society.

From this time onward, Gunda went and studied at Durmstrang Institute and completed her schooling years accordingly. But her stay didn't mean she slacked in duties. In fact, she still kept to a routine of waking up at ungodly hours to jog and doing the nightly work out. Occasionally she would check in with her family, and during such times her brothers would compliment on how responsible she was, while her 'wild one' of a sister would attempt to loosen her up some and get her to start dating. But her father did not age entirely well, and has become sterner and sterner in his older years. Gunda, in her own paranoia of losing another parent, by death or by distance, continues to do as he instructs, even when her own rigid brothers insist she shouldn't follow certain orders for safety sake.

A few such instances that she continued, regardless of the heeding, resulted in various broken bones from rigorous straining. Gunda still follows blindly.

Currently she has 'graduated' from Durmstrang, finishing her last year strong, exceeding in wizard athletics (she was the a beater in quidditch) and sufficient grades, keeping a steady average. Now, though, she is once more obeying her father's requests, and seeking employment at the Ministry of Magic, all the way in Briton, to hopefully become an auror.

Other: She can speak English, Norwegian, and some Ukranian/Russian. Her English is heavily accented, making it difficult for most to understand.
