Description

1. "... could you not flirt with the readers while I'm trying to give them information about you?!"
     Gerda: "Oh come on, don't be such a stick-in-the-mud. I'm just having a little fun." ;)
       *sigh* "I guess it can't be helped..."

Name: Gerda Elsabeth Bjorgman
Age: 20 (when she first met Lydia). Current age: 46
Occupation: Former doge trainer
Fairy tale counterpart: Little Gerda
Frozen counterpart: Anna  
Family: Mom&dad (alive?),  Bjorn ( Elder brother. Deceased), Freya (Daughter. Alive), Kristoff (Nephew. Alive.) + a pack of doges


2. When it comes to Gerda's design, I actually went with the very first thing that came to my mind
but that doesn't mean I didn't try different styles for her. This "alternate design" is kind of a mashup of all the things tried before Gerda's first appearance in the comic, like slimmer body type, different eye- and hair color and I even added some freckles on her face just for fun. But no matter what I did, something about her just didn't feel right. This may sound funny but this other girl felt more like an actress trying to be like the character I needed for the story. Her initial design was much more appealing and fitting for this character's
personality.

3. ... she'd be the most mischievous little pup ever. So fluffy and cuddly, but if you left her alone for too long, she'd
      destroy all your shoes and pillows out of boredom. (and because it's just a prank, bro!)
       Yet you'd forgive her almost instantly 'cause she's so adorable. Yep. That's Gerda.
Sometimes she can be a little inconsiderate and often goes too far with her pranks. She also picks on Kai a lot (and Freya, too),
but she definitely knows how to make up for her mistakes.

-Gerda's number one dog Raven (male) is based on an actual raven from the original story.
  The said bird was helping little Gerda on her journey to find her missing friend.
-The other dogs are also named after birds. For example: Sparrow (the one that was growling at Lydia)
- Originally Bjogrmans were supposed to own a herd of reindeer instead of dogs to explain Sven's backstory
  but the lack of other animals was bothering me and it would've been too obvious. :D Plus the scene where Lydia
 meets Gerda's pets worked better with doges. <3

Ohh, when I'm drawing characters, I always try so many styles for their hair and stuff, it's hard to choose. You NAILED Gerda, I can't imagine her being any different and I like the outcome. She is amazing (and yes, she would be such a cute puppy).
