Thank you for the welcome, guys :)
Name: Hedwig Eriksson
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Personality: Hedwig is calm and level-headed, and a little bit of an introvert. A tomboy through and through, she isn't afraid of hard work or dirty fingernails, and despite her calm and patience, she have a very strong backbone and a relentless stubbornness when it's needed. Hedwig definitely isn't interested in gossip and most 'girly' or 'stupid' subjects also completely fail to grab her interests. Philosophy and politics, though, are favorite subjects (although living in a van without a tv or working internet doesn't always make it all that easy to follow the news) and she DOES have a sense of humor reserved for those bothering to start a conversation.
Hedwig have some faint plan in the back of her head about going back to her home country for the fall term to study ethology, but she don't rhyme very well with this strange and totally unnecessary concept known as 'planning things seriously'. She's pretty spontaneous and often do really random stuff with 'because I can' as the reason. Honestly, though, she's been enjoying the last five years of her road trip more than she have enjoyed the rest of her life in her dull home, and she isn't in a hurry to go anywhere. Even now she is kicking the asphalt in her mobile home with no set destination what so ever, other than loose goals of places she'd like to see. She's just one of those people who have no real idea of what they want to do in the future, and that is, quite honestly, just fine her at the moment. She'd like to have thought something up by winter so she don't have to spend yet another cold-as-fuck season in her not very isolated van, but that's pretty much the extent of her planning.
History: Hedwig was born and raised in Gothenburg, a small city on the Swedish west coast. She was an introvert from the get go, inflicted from a young age with the infamous 'middle kid syndrome' - whereas her parents hurried to get her older brother out of all the stupid messes he got himself into, and went all d'aaaw every time her younger sister said something cute, Hedwig ended up feeling... a little forgotten. It didn't bother her as much as one might think, at least not apparently so; she took her escape to books, video games, and nature, and didn't make a ruckus about any of it.
School was sheer torture, not because she was bullied - though she never did manage to make any friends - but because of all the boring. Her math teacher might as well have been speaking in Bork, bork, bork! and Hedwig would probably not have even noticed, that's how deeply engrossed she was in the noble arts of spacing out. She graduated from grade school, if barely, and was more than eager to get the bloody hell away from her home and her parents, who for once in her life started to pay attention to her on the basis of telling her to get a fucking job. Having no real dreams for her future, Hedwig decided to take on internships for the time being, and during the last five years since her grade school graduation, she have traveled between different organic farms in Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, the UK and finally in America. She have worked with a plethora of various animals, from dogs and horses to cattle and pigs and chicken to the more weird ones like llamas and yaks. Slowly, she started to dream vaguely of an education in ethology, though she still haven't decided.
Currently, she does not have an internship - she have worked part-time as a ghostwriter for a good while now and have saved up enough to make it through the summer with food and gas. She lives in her van in a more-than-frugal lifestyle, but she honestly enjoy that way of life.
Elements: Earth and water
Affinity/specialty: I'll wait with filling this out if that's ok..
Animal: Wolverine
Age: 2 years old
Personality: He is still a goofy, playful youngster, a down to earth and relaxed character. He is friendly and - usually - trust Hedwigs judgement when it comes to people. But there is very little tolerance for beings or objects perceived to be threats, and wolverines can be incredibly fierce despite their small size. He have one mean bite that he is not afraid to put to good use, having a considerably shorter fuse than his human companion. He is also very protective of her, whether she likes it or not.
History: He is still a youngster, and left the protection and companionship offered by his fathers territory last year. He have been traveling since then, occasionally stopping to investigate what could potentially be a permanent home, but never stopping anywhere for long. He have yet to reach sexual maturity and will remain on a traveling foot for a little while yet.
