[AnnaBeth]

Name: Asta Somby
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Nationality/Language: Northern Sami

Description: A child of the North, Asta is pale as the winter moon and her eyes are the color of the ancient ice in the winter melt cave of the glaciers. Long, silver-blonde hair frames her round face that usually bears a broad, friendly smile that makes crinkles appear at the corner of her eyes. Asta is of a normal height for her people, but short by most modern standards at 149cm with a lithe, wiry muscled body that masses 45 kilos.

Brief Background: five years ago Ingrid Svensdottir, a Swedish anthropologist, came to live among the Northern Sami people to conduct research into their nomadic lifestyle to help shine light on more ancient societies and their lifestyles. For almost three years Ingrid roamed the far northern tundra with Asta's siida, her family's community, following their reindeer herds across the trackless lands of the midnight sun. Then just a girl, Asta was fascinated by Ingrid and her tales of the lands far, far to the South and of the almost incomprehensible differences between her world and Ingrid's. A little sister - big sister bond grew between the two of them and after Ingrid returned to university to write up and publish her research they stayed in touch, largely by physical letters that often took months to arrive, but occasionally by a phone call when her siida needed to come to market to trade and she was allowed to go along. Ingrid has arranged for Asta to come attend the International Conference of Indigenous Women as an accompaniment to a talk she is giving, a task that took Ingrid almost a year to get Asta's father and mother to agree to.
