›› Gunvor has a square face, big black eyes, narrow mouth, strong cupid's bow, and very short but thick eyebrows. She's about 160cm tall, though the very thick soles of her shoes add quite a bit more height.
›› Despite living her life only inside, Gunvor always wears a frankly ridiculous amount of layers.
›› She has a black fanny pack where she keeps most of her stuff (she doesn't have much).
›› She's very shy, likes to hide behing her scarf and blushes a lot. She often sits with her knees drawn up and seems just as comfortable moving crouched down using her hands as another pair of legs, as she is just walking normally.
›› She likes to wear strong eye makeup, sometimes going as far as painting the whole eye region of her face black from temple to temple. She usually wears black nailpolish and always has a ton of plastic and other cheap rings on all of her fingers.
›› She's left-handed.
›› She's a hopeless romantic at heart, but nine times out of ten way too shy to make a move. She will be silently crushing on anyone blond and pretty.
›› Although she spends a lot of her time writing poems, she's not actually very good at it.
shy / bashful / wannable-poet
›› Gunvor doesn't like to be the center of attention, but rather she's the shy dreamer type watching from the sidelines, writing poems on whatever surface happens to be closest, everywhere from her notebook to the walls and floors. Not that she'll tell anyone she's written them, let alone show any to anyone.
›› She blushes a lot, hides behind her clothes, and stutters when speaking – though that one is more of a speech impediment which happens to get worse when she's nervous or agitated than a direct result of her timidness.
›› She's somewhat of a cryptid type who likes to spend a lot of time in Pimeä, the carbage dump floor of Torni, hiding in the nooks and crannies of the decades worth of junk and treasures there.
›› That doesn't mean she's totally unsocial or feral, and she does like to make friends and spend time with people. It's just that she's often more comfortable watching and listening than participating.
›› When she's startled/spooked she turns into a hispanolan solenodon, and back to human when calm again.
›› Gunvor and her little sister Regina "Rekku" were raised by a single mother. They lived in a small house with a small yard and a white fence, and had three dogs, Pepi, Piki and Jeri.
›› When Gunvor was about six, a dog startled her, she turned into a solenodon, and bit the dog. One of her neighbours reported her to the authorities and she was captured and brought to Sopeuttamiskeskus 52. She doesn't know if the dog survived the venomous bite.
›› In Torni she was looked after Wanda and had two new pseudo-siblings, Les and Kidi. She never really considered them to be family, as she already had one waiting for her on the outside. (Even though she knew she'd never get out again to see them.)
mother figure
Wanda took Gunvor under her wing when she first came into Torni. Even though Wanda has looked after her longer than she knew her real mother, Gunvor is still hesitant to call her family, because she already has a mother waiting for her on the outside (even though she knows she'll never get out again).

Technically Kidi could be called a sibling, but Gunvor only has one sister and she's not in Torni.

another tornilapsi
Drakon is friends with Les, Kidi and few of Gunvor's friends, but despite being almost the same age and both having grown up in Torni, Drakon and Gunvor aren't really more than acquaintances.

sister
Gunvor hasn't seen her little sister in over ten years, but still misses her terribly.
A dystopian future where some people, shifters, turn into animals when they feel certain feelings. They are deemed dangerous by the Society and if they are caught they are locked up in a prison tower Sopeuttamislaitos 52, more simply known as Torni + where they supposedly should learn to control their shapeshifting.
In reality it's more like a prison with no guards and no contact with the outside world. No one has ever been let out. Over the years Torni has developed it's own society with its own jobs and gangs and customs.
Gunvor is a so called tornilapsi, a tower kid, someone who came to Sopeuttamislaitos 52 as a child and has grown up there.
Gunvor has been in Torni for about 12 years.

(lit. the tower)
Torni consists of twelve floors. The first floor, a lobby or a plaza of sorts, where shipments of supplies and new prisoners arrive in big storage containers. The second floor, the rec room, has everything you need to pass the time from instruments to a gym. The third and ninth floors are dedicated to bazaar-like marketplaces.
4th, 5th and 6th floors are filled with small living quarters, called cabins. Since there aren't nearly enough of them for everyone, usually the way to get one is to forcibly evict the previous owners.
The seventh floor, Fortuna, is the area for showers, saunas and pools – and prostitution. The eight floor, Ruokala, is the dining hall where everyone gets one free daily meal. The tenth floor, Pimeä, is the carbage dump floor of Torni – but there is also a theatre room that has a small stage and projector for watching films (mostly propaganda and useless how-to videos).
The eleventh floor, the Luxury floor, and the roof above it, the Garden, are accessible only for the Leader and their gang.
Below all of these are the Cellar floor, which has the Infirmary, and even below that is a half-built parking carage.
