Trained Farmer: Kara would be trained to farm crops and take care of the animals - but slaughtering them, and the likes of cutting meats are still quite confusing to her, on the means. How do I do this. But, as it is not a fret to her, she is practicing viciously on it with notes and books. Also helpful tips from travelers and family.
Cutting wood had become a real ability to use an axe on a hard piece of frozen wood. This, has become a profession, as much as a strength for, Kara. Herself having come used to using an axe, as much as her fellow friends have battled with. She's become commonly accepting towards a long axe, or short hatchet of an axe.
Kara, through out years, experimented with the ale her family had brewed - and all she really needed was a bit of honey - to where, she created "Honey Ale". A sweet tasting ale that is too alcoholic, and fun to drink. A perfect drink for get togethers.
Through tradition, Kara's family had created dairy products in Vats buried in the ground to keep cool during the winter, to preserve it through it, but also, it was the main source during the winter when the cows didn't produce. Enabling Kara to create cheese, butter and Skyr. And when the dairy went sour, they used it for another sorts of foods stuff.
Kara has come upon Wood Working - to the point, she has been crafting staff's and handles for tools of working. The job, difficult at it's best, needing strong, hard working hands that Kara had grown to be used to. Having been mending the Golden farm of wheat, it's become a natural talent.

Ase - The new-born child, Kara has cherished since it's arrival.

Trusted:
Friended:
Illthior (Out lander) - An interesting man, who knows lots of the South and other sorts. He lives in the North, but he is no Northerner in Kara's eyes. He is of lots of interest, and wishes to know more of what he does. Even to know stories of what he has done. Though he didn't seem to get along with, Kidd - William.
Elehk - A man of the North that has visited Ulrych Motte in his time of travels. In his little time, Kara had come to accept the man and give him Honey Ale. Though, he may be strange at times, but she has become to understand him.
Audery - "Ah hope we become better friends, and ah hope for a better for you with, Fjorleif. Ye both are good people and ah hope you both stay around for a little longer with the building of Myrneth."

Liked:
Harlow - Is kind and jokes around, even though, Kara doesn't fully understand on how to respond correctly, the company of others are always grateful to have around and talk to. Harlow seems to know a lot, and Kara wouldn't mind know what Harlow does. But what got her interested, was the mention of Rangers and peace. Having no interest in joining - but the events and history behind it. Perhaps, Harlow will share in time. Kara hopes she does.
Barthelemy - Having just met the king, he was immensely kind to her being a peasant, after telling her, even peasant have things to say. She can look into his eyes and see, that he takes in every consideration from others. Possibly a very well respected emperor in her eyes. Even out of all the rest, he was very polite and formal, even when he spoke that lovely language.
Sif (Knight of Knowledge) - Sif has been kind enough to share a story with, Kara. But his voice and attitude is quite intimidating towards her, but also made her feel shameful towards how she speaks. But was absolutely understanding towards how she was feeling and what kind of situation she was currently in. He even tried to help her with her grammar, but she continued to speak like her old ways. She wishes to know more, but she will not bother him.
Rex Lonmar: A giant of a man, standing high over Kara by far. She looks to the man as if he were a God sent from the skies to build giant walls for man-kind. His home, a wall of his own, built by pure muscles. He is built like a bull, and strives like a bear. But he has a kind heart, and Kara is appreciated to his kindness and offers of warm meals, and invites to warm her by a fire.
Sheila: Kara in her little time came to know, Sheila has been interesting. Her in Kidd's bed, assumptions were made. But she just enjoyed the fact that, this girl comes along and teases. But what Kara won't understand is the jealousy she has for Kara and Kidd when they made kissy faces in front of her. Though, if liked by Kidd, she is liked by Kara.

Neutral:
Mira - A caparii girl who often finds, Kara. She wonders if the woman follows her, but nah - Mira seems like a sweet, yet questionable girl. Kara doesn't mind the chat, she learned that Mira collects flowers and makes crowns with them. Perhaps, Kara can make a crown with her. Perhaps not.

Backstory: Where it begins..

Time of tradition
Löfgren's have a vase history of farming the lands in Stormhold, being the job as it were, tending to cattle in the barns, and fishing on the thicken lake outside of Stormhold's gate. Löfgren had a tradition of identifying their own with a simple means of a tattoo on ones body. To a back tattoo, arm tattoo, leg tattoo or chest tattoo. This became a vase history in their family, as it were. Kara's mother had a tattoo amongst her back on the left side. So Kara chose the obvious right side opposite of her mother. Her father, a tattoo amongst his chest, and right arm, showing strong, Norvägen symbols amongst his body. But Kara chose a more free, and new discovery tattoo.

Serving time to create food for the people of the land, her family took on the job of producing dairy products and cheese, even pea's and beans. Coming to a vase selection of foods, they would evenly divide the shares amongst their neighbors and nobles. Dairy products are brought in skin sacks and to the Vats that were dug in the ground to keep the product cool during the winters, as it were the main and only source during the winters, as it created Skyr, cheese, and butter. Sour milk was also used for other foods stuff.

Time of teaching
Through, Kara's years of child-hood, she was fascinated by the lands of the North. Her icy blue eyes always looked beyond the clouds and mountains to the vase, sunny lands. Where wheat and crops grew immensely faster, and the open planes were not filled with foot deep snow but grass and flowers. Since she was in the North, there was the likely chill crawling up her back to make her shiver. Amongst her fellow Norvägen's, through the years it had toughened and hardened her skin, to where it doesn't challenge her as much as it were when she was young.

Kara's gone through immense teaching from her father, to where. There were no sons. Her father, had taught her things, he would've with his own son. But since he had just, Kara. He began to teach her how to fend for herself, through having to use the axe in the back, and cut through near frozen wood. As it were, near impossible at first for her nimble arms, and weak back. He began every other day, getting her to practice and stack the wood with him.

As with, Kara's mother, she began her tradition of cooking, with loafs of whole wheat bread, with warm honey and drinks. Her family had a recipe for, honey ale. Which tasted absolutely delicious without the taste of alcohol. Since, Kara was a little younger, they couldn't give her alcoholic ale until she was at the age of 16.

But when, Kara turned, 16. She was frightened with the idea of marriage, since her father had been so encouraging at first. The men there were intimidating to her in the way, she'd get weak knee's when first met with them. She was not ready. But ever since, she'd watch and adore the handsome boys from afar.


Kara had grown to have an open mind of things, wanting to learn about more vase lands, and their people. Even culture is something she plans to discover, so she can further more expand her beliefs. Though, the path will always be her chosen religion despite learning others.

On going...~

Time of love

When it comes to meeting men, Kara is unusually intimidated by men. To the point, that she's avoid eye contact with them, and will nervously stutter at times. But due to her speaking and lack of grammar to correct wording, she has become more, nervous to meet the Southerners. But with her lack of social-life on the farm, she wasn't always so interactive with others but the wheat field and other crops. Perhaps the animals listened, but they couldn't judge her like some who may tell, Kara her voice is 'Weird'.

On going...~

Their blades have straight upper edges, while the sharp edges were usually curved toward the handle. Their handles were too long to throw; instead, they were used in close combat with shields.

This battle axe has a blade of hand forged carbon steel which is fastened to a hardwood handle. Both sides of the blade are etched with a decorative Celtic knot pattern that features a dragon's head. Handle length: 66.5 cm Blade length: 18.5 cm Sharp edge: 12.2 cm Weight: 0.85 kg

Journal Entries

Entry #1
"I watch as the wheat grow, upon the mounds of dirt and flow in the cool wind of the Northern air. I watch on the stump of a nearby oak tree in my blackened coat, and skirt that I like to wear on occasions with my black fitted hose."

"I think here, where I carved into the tree a symbol of life. I think of how I came to be here, to be with Kidd. Someone who has come to learn about me and my culture, something I'd do to learn of another. I adore his acts, and jokes and teases - I have never learned to do that with my own. I was never one to be talkative. But when I see him his voice is a sweet tune to my ears. It makes me smile"

"I smile at the field of golden wheat, at the hard work that I've done. I enjoy the sight, and peacefulness of the field, where I can sit alone sometimes to hear the birds sing, and the sound of the wind passing my ear. I wish nothing more but a free life like this"​
