MILLA
PEDERSEN
Natalie Lind

+ +

The 17 year old daughter of Mette’s hosts. A clever, contemplative girl who, in Mette’s own words, is “too bright for this place”, meaning too intelligent and extraordinary for H. She spends most of her time over summer reading (having brought home a whole stack of books on Ancient Greece from the local library) and hanging out with her friend, Line, a boy-crazy classmate. Herself, she doesn’t show much interest in dating or partying beyond what is expected of her in order to fit in and she is immediately attracted to Mette’s refusal of H.’s norms. The two girls develop a deep-rooted friendship with romantic undertones and learn a lot from each other. They bond over their shared love of Sappho.
