klara’s father was always protective of her- the youngest of four, she was born to athena & isak åkerström, five years after the death of his wife, luana (he swore he had gotten over her death, although that was doubtful). of course, knowing her parentage, he knew he’d be unable to protect her forever. she’d always be at risk of an attack, as would he & his other children. yet, he never expected the first attack to occur so early, never expected the realisation that he may lose her, as he had luana, to dawn on him so quickly.
isak avoided sending her to the camp, for as long as possible, however- when she turned twelve- it began to become near impossible to function properly, due to the tumult caused by these attacks. so, klara had to say goodbye to near-normality, & joined the camp.
due to being raised within a household of four over-achievers, klara often felt- & still feels, somewhat- the need to prove her own skills, resilience & ambition. pressured constantly from a very young age to be ‘better’, klara began to develop failure-induced anxiety (an aspect of her high-functioning generalised anxiety), as well as perfectionism. she bears a strongly positive attitude to work & learning which, alongside her innate abilities, often work in her favour. however, these traits often lead to stubbornness, in addition to her habit of getting stuck on one issue or project for upwards of weeks at a time.
a relentless optimist, klara always tries to see the best in people, & tries her best to be kind. however, even with her belief that everything will turn out alright, she’s still quite known for- & prone to- snark, sarcasm & unrelenting unabashedness. she’s bold & unintentionally blunt at times (upon catching herself being brash, she tends to apologise multiple times), &, though an introvert by nature, she can sometimes be quite outgoing, & loud, to the embarrassment of others.
klara;
- is terrible with maps. she really struggles with map-reading & should never be trusted to handle a map. ever.
- is v v creative- she loves to make art, of all kinds.
- has a phonographic memory, as well as a mildly eidetic memory.
- enjoys language learning- she speaks swedish, english, finnish & some french, & plans to learn more languages
x(portuguese & spanish are goals of hers)- her father taught mfl at upper secondary level & her mother's- well- athena.
- is empathetic to a fault, often getting so caught up in the feelings & needs of others that she forgets about her own.
- is a great strategist, innately.
- loves cats. a lot. at home she had a pair called límon & líma, of whom she misses terribly.
- is most comfortable with hand-to-hand combat, usually opting to utilise a dagger, rather than a long-range weapon.
- writes home as often as she can- she still shares a strong bond with her brothers, alexander & lukas, but was always
xpitted against helene, her sister, & their relationship has deteriorated ever since she left.
- loves to read, & loves literature in general (to the extent of finding enjoyment in analysing it, somehow).
- has a habit of wearing unsuitable clothing for the situation; she doesn’t seem to note the weather when planning outfits- ever.
