So she found a human family in a small village who had a dying baby girl. When the baby died during the night she took it away and put her own strong and healthy daughter in the crib instead. Then she cast a spell so the people wouldn't know.
Ilvara grew up in this family not knowing they weren't her real parents but she never really felt she belonged among them. Her "mother" was never really happy with her and tried to make her be like the baby who died. She cut of her hair and made her wear a blonde wig and made her wear a really tight corset and very tight stockings and shoes to make her look more slender and small like the dead girl.
But trolls are strong and Ilvara grew up. When she was old enough she left her home and went out in the world to seek happyness.
At first she still used the wig even though she changed the clothes.
Later on as her own hair grew back she stoped using the wig. Slowly she more and more got a sence of who and what she was.

I love the photos you've used to show the change she's been going through. She's looking like a sad little girl in the first photo and a strong woman, with just a hint of sadness behind her eyes, in the second photo.
ReplyDeleteThanks Annefia. That's exactly what I wanted.
