How was your character raised?: In Arendelle’s palace, same as her mother. Though for Anja, the experience was much less isolating -- beyond her immediate family, her aunt, uncle, cousins, and other family friends were always around. Also, though she’s wary to keep her powers under control, she doesn’t fear them the same way Elsa did, since she had her mother there to teach her how to properly handle them (and reassure her, after the occasional childhood accident, that losing control didn’t make her a monster).

What’s their relationship like with their parent(s)?: Anja’s fairly close with Elsa. They’re not the most gushy duo, but they get along well, and Anja can’t think of anyone else she’d want as a mother. Anna and Kristoff are also like second and third parents to her.

What does your character do when they’re bored?: She doesn’t have too much time to herself to be bored. On the rare occasion that she does, though, Anja likes to spend time quietly by herself -- be it solo hobbies like reading and writing, cooking, ice skating, or going out to the city and people-watching from her favorite cafe.

Is your character expressive of their emotions? Why or why not?: Anja’s never really been one to wear her heart on her sleeve. She does show a decent amount of emotion, especially the more lighthearted ones -- but she’s fairly guarded when it comes to more complicated ones.

What do they do when confronted?: Not much, usually. In petty arguments especially, she tends to grow cold, treating the other person as if they’re beneath her. Not because she really believes that, but it’s generally a solid defense mechanism to get them to go away. Especially since she’s not the best at apologizing or expressing deep feelings. If it’s a more intellectual confrontation, she just presents why her point is right without bothering to tear the other person’s down.

Is your character interested in romantic relationships? Why or why not?: Somewhat. She would like one, but after seeing how many royals end up in politically arranged marriages rather than ones out of love, she doesn’t expect too much of romance (though she’d definitely love for someone to change her mind). Anna and Kristoff challenge this expectation somewhat, but Anna was also never Arendelle’s heir.

Do they have any fears? Why so?: She fears not having control, in almost any situation, and not living up to expectations of her.

How was your character raised?: Running around Granny’s diner, causing mischief. So, not so different from Ruby’s falsified childhood in Storybrooke. Still, for all her enthusiasm, she was raised well with a loving (though small) family. As soon as she was old enough to carry things around without breaking them she began shadowing Ruby and Granny around the diner - not because they told her to, but because she was curious. She was also taught how to handle her wolf side from an early age by Ruby, sparing her any of the guilt and fear that the older wolf still lives with to some degree. Ruby and Dorothy also taught her other skills like how to cook, track, defend herself, and hunt, making her fairly self-sufficient if she ever needs to be.

What’s their relationship like with their parent(s)?: Emilia has a good relationship with them both. She’s a bit of Ruby’s mama’s girl, simply because they’re both more outgoing and click far more easily, not to mention have go running just the two of them every full moon. However, her relationship with Dorothy is still close as well.

What does your character do when they’re bored?: Look for new adventures. She was always running around playing pretend as a kid, making friends, or shadowing someone else to learn from them. Now that she’s a bit older, this involves branching out to new places too, though as a high schoolers she’s still a bit limited to nearby areas.

Is your character expressive of their emotions? Why or why not?: Very much so. She grew up around one very expressive parent, one not so much, and simply took after the former.

What do they do when confronted?: Fight back, generally. She’s more than a bit hotheaded, and not afraid to butt heads, even with total strangers. It can take her a while to calm down, but if she’s the one who’s ultimately in the wrong, she’ll generally eventually apologize.

Is your character interested in romantic relationships? Why or why not?: She’s not opposed, and is definitely a romantic at heart, but doesn’t go too far out of her way to search for romance either. She’s the type who’d love her partner to also be her best friend, and also knows how late her moms found each other compared to some other couples, so she doesn’t try to rush things.

Do they have any fears? Why so?: She’s not that keen on heights, though it’s not quite a full-out fear. After learning about Ruby’s past, she’s still not afraid of losing her own control since she’s always had it, but a small part of her does fear what could happen if someone managed to curse her and use her wolf side for their own purposes.
