Christel Auðursdöttir

Christel is no supermodel as far as her figure goes, but would not be considered fat by many. The majority of her pudginess is concentrated around her hips and stomach, giving the woman a noticeably pear-shaped figure.

Although slightly taller than average she appears a good two inches shorter than her actual height, due to tending to keep her shoulders slumped and neck angled forwards.

Christel’s got a light complexion, with a skin that turns easily red when exposed to cold air. Her face is angular, with a pointy chin and an even pointier nose. The woman’s eyes are nordic blue, occasionally bloodshot for forgetting her contacts in for too long.

Christel’s shoulder-length hair reaches nearly to her collarbone at the front, with a neatly cut fringe running along the length of her eyebrows. Said hair is rather thin, but makes up for it with curliness. It’s on the lighter side of sandy blonde, kept a few tones brighter from it’s natural color with toning shampoos.

She tries to take good care of her appearance, keeping her nails trimmed, hair taken care of and face under a layer of not-too-prominent makeup.

Christel was born in Reykjavik. Her mother was a nurse and her father a high school social studies teacher.

She was vaguely aware that her maternal grandmother, Valeria Brown, was a writer in Canada and even read some of her books, but only met the woman a couple of times when she flew to Reykjavik for a visit. Christel’s mother occasionally called the woman and sent her christmas gifts, possibly even receiving financial aid, but Valeria Brown was never an active part of their life, her presence politely hovering on the annual christmas card or blazing back from the shelf of a bookstore.

That’s why it became a huge surprise when upon the woman’s death it was learned that her will had specified her only daughter – that is, Christel’s mother – as the inheritor of the writer’s house and wealth.

After some filling of paperwork and a lot of discussing the family decided for moving to Canada instead of selling the writer’s residence. And thus it came to be that at the age of 12 Christel flew to Toronto and stayed in her grandmother’s house for the better part of the next decade.

With the royalty checks and some investments the family managed to keep and even expand their fortune over the years. Christel studied english, finished school and high school in Canada, travelled to Iceland, the US and elsewhere a few times and all-in-all had mostly a pleasant adolescence.

As an extra note: Redeveloped a fear of darkness at age 16 after binge-reading H.P. Lovecrafts books.

She decided to „follow her dream“ and pursue a career in journalism. Having grown nostalgic for her homeland she used the excuse to move back to Reykjavik and enrolled in The University of Iceland.

Christel finished the undergraduate „Sociology“ and „Media and Communication Studies“ courses, but dropped out of the Master’s programme of „Journalism and mass communication“, instead eventually landing a job in Visir.

Ended up moving to a two-room apartment on the opposite side of the city from her birthhome, as her job and bachelors lifestyle couldn't support a large dwelling and she doesn't like leeching off her family.
