Helena Byörkman

Seventeen

Third

Female

Huldra

Helena is a 5’7” brunette with crystal, wide blue eyes and a pale beauty-marked face. She has the high cheekbones, pert nose, and semi-full lips of a Huldra and her skin is soft to the touch. However, underneath her exterior, she has a flesh-colored tail that swings by her feet and has a tendency to wrap around her ankles, topped with a tuft of chocolate brown hairs and a single brown spot. On her back, her silky white skin distorts into rotten brown bark that encases a large, gaping abyss on her back.
Her body is rather plain, but she dresses it well with either leather and jeans or cotton and skirts, depending on her feeling. Her style flip-flops on the verge of badassery and Southern teenage church-goer. When she walks, she holds a suppressive air with her shoulders relaxed and her legs staggering, yet she holds her chin up in an air of authority. She has been known to vaguely smile at the queerest things, a smile that is almost imperceptible except for the slight twitch of her lips. Other times, she laughs loudly with a hiccup and dimpled cheeks. When she talks, it is of the lilting sort and is brief, telling what she needs to tell.

Helena has always been considered the poster-child for a perfect Huldra. Her emotions are always in check, she never gets attached, and her independence is extraordinary so. When she says she will get something done, she will, and she speaks little, never letting others see into her thoughts. In all of the sense of the words, she is one of the Hidden Folk. Every fleeting thought is a secret and every secret is a fleeting thought, she is scholarly and studious and always questions authority when she needs to. Her heart is steel and unbreakable, hard and almost impenetrable. She thinks before she acts. However, Helena’s pessimism halts her ability to change. She is a seventeen year old girl, stuck forever as time passes by. She neither adapts nor relents, but is a stubborn rock being eroded by wind. Helena hardly learns from past mistakes and often lets her life rest in fate’s hands. She is brazen to the point of stupidity, but cowardly to the point of idiocy. Her morals are a point stuck in the middle of a compass, unable to do the right thing, but never the wrong thing either – she just sits, and thinks, and dawdles, until her choice is annulled. She is not carefree, but rather, careless, and is often prone to profound philosophical thoughts that usually questions the point of living. Helena survives, but she does not thrive. Yet, no one else can see it.

Henrik Björkman

Seventeen

Third

Male

Huldrekarl

Henrik has wide blue eyes, pale skin, and an angular face shape. He is around 6’2”, but is more gawky than strong and has a little bit of muscle, but not a lot. There are brown dirt smudges covering his arms and legs as well as his abdomen – he has little moss on him, but there are slight patches of green growing on his shoulder blades. His dark brown hair is usually cut short enough that it does not fall in front of his face. While his twin sister has a silent commanding presence and walk, he is known for a more demanding arrogance that manifests itself in his sure-footed strut. He likes to wear hoodies and jeans when casually lounging, but usually dons band tees with a leather jacket pulled over it.

Henrik is very unlike his sister and is almost the complete opposite of the Huldra ideals. He is impulsive and puts on an arrogant air, though he is rather insecure when it comes to his own species. When he questions the system, he does so loudly and publicly, allowing everyone to know his thoughts. He is reliant on his sister for emotional comfort and has no direction in life, almost always aimlessly following her around. Henrik wears his heart on his sleeve, plainly, for everyone to see and shamelessly doesn’t hide it – unless in front of his mother, Ragna. He possesses an inferiority complex and is a hardworker, always trying his best, but typically fails at such things. Unlike his sister, he refuses to leave his life in fate’s hands and is more adaptable than Helena. While Helena is a rock, he is the ocean waves, changing with the wind and listening to the moon’s calling. Even though he is much different than his sister, they both possess loose morals and do whatever they like whenever they like.
