[christina-carrow]

Ow.

I fell and my hand is bleeding now.

[christina-carrow]

I don't like the rain.

[regulus-the-grey]

It’s only natural. It’s actually a good thing, Christina.

[christina-carrow]

But we can't go outside when it rains.

[christina-carrow]

I don't like the rain.

It's so sad.

Day Fourteen

Do they, or have they in the past, had a mentor? What was their relationship with this person, and how has it changed since then?

The Herbology teacher at Durmstrang was a mentor to Christina. She helped her keep up with her schoolwork and learn her away around the castle. Christina writes her letters every week.

What sort of education have they had? Do they want more?

She is a student as Durmstrang and Hogwarts.

Who was their idol growing up? Who was the first person they fantasized about?

Her uncle Martin because he is funny.

[christina-carrow]

I'm tired.

[avery-juju-deactivated20140213]

Going to go out on a limb here and suggest sleep.

[christina-carrow]

I did. For hours and hours. I'm just -yawns- still tired.

[christina-carrow]

I'm tired.

I'm so so tired.

Day Thirteen

Christina grew up in the Nielsen home, outside of Stockholm.

How did they view it as a child, and did that change as they matured?

Christina loved her home. Everyone she loved, her family, lived there, and she got a room at the top of the main tower, just like she was a princess from a fairytale.

How do they feel about the place now?

Christina misses it every single day, but she does like how much warmer Hogwarts is.

Day Twelve

Describe their best and worst memories from childhood.

Christina has multiple best memories, but one that she always remembers is from when she was seven and went ice skating on the river. It was just beginning to snow, and she was able to catch snowflakes on her tongue. She skated until her feet were sore (little did she know that her parents had cast cushioning charms on her so it didn't hurt when she fell).

She doesn't have any bad memories.

[christina-carrow]

She didn't have to yell.

[willow-silverstone]

Maybe you should just not talk then, and they’ll find other reasons.

[christina-carrow]

What? No.

[christina-carrow]

She didn't have to yell.

[willow-silverstone]

-sighs heavily-

If I was in your country, my accent would be funny because it isn’t like everyone else’s. You aren’t in your country any more. You accent isn’t like everyone else’s here, so it’s not normal here.

[christina-carrow]

Oh. I guess that makes sense. But that still doesn't mean people should be mean about that. I can't help it.

[christina-carrow]

She didn't have to yell.

[willow-silverstone]

Your accent is funny because you aren’t from here, which means, compared to everyone else’s accents, your accent is the funny one not ours.

[christina-carrow]

What? That makes no sense.

[rasmus-rowle]

So many families...

[rasmus-rowle]

You’re welcome. I’m sure I’ve held you from your friends long enough.

[christina-carrow]

Right. My friends. Of course. I have friends...
