ABOUT Iselin Ødegård
Place of Birth: Oslo, Norway |
Iselin's PersonalityIselin is a very outspoken young girl, who doesn’t shy down from pointing out how she feels, or what she thinks is right. She hopes to one day be able to use her outspoken ideas to create stories for others to read, albeit she is unsure what her target audience will be. She has a lot of love in her, especially for her family, although she does feel a certain amount of jealousy towards her older sister, Anniken. Yet, despite all of the jealousy she feels, she would give an arm and a leg for Niki.
Iselin's BackgroundIselin was born six years the younger of her sister Niki. The fact her parents, Gustav and Liv Mari had conceived Issie had been a big surprise to them, as they had originally decided to not have any more children after their first. Yet a faulty IUD decided otherwise. Issie was delivered several weeks prematurely at a hospital in Oslo, and required special care of her parents for several years, in order for her to fully catch up to other children her age.
Ever since childhood, Issie has loved her sister Niki deeply. She looks up to her older sister, and would confide her deepest secrets in her, yet at the same time she is incredibly jealous of everything her sister achieves, and the praise Niki receives from their parents for it. There also is a certain gap between them caused by a one-time separation of their parents. Back then, Issie was taken along by Liv Marie, while Niki stayed with their father. Issie in a way still believes this is the result of a conscientious choice by her sister, rather than their parents. Even though their parents are happily together again now, Issie still feels like her father loves her less than he loves Niki. Currently, being a recent high school graduate in Tromso, Issie still lives with her parents, having taken a gap year to properly decide what to do in life. She is considering going into an undergraduate program in literature, hoping to one day achieve her dream of being a writer. Her parents don’t quite support that dream, and they have been making her focus on other subjects in her past schooling, yet without their knowledge, Iselin is currently looking for literature programs in foreign universities, so she would be able to try and experience life by herself. After much consideration, Iselin decided to go study in London. She is currently studying English Literature at a university in London itself, and is hoping to reach her goal of becoming a novelist after. |
