Personality
Freedom loving, pleasure seeking, and kind almost to a fault, Vina is happiest when she's wandering, not even for the sake of exploration but just for the exhilarating sensation of being free, enjoying the soft spring breeze and the autumn rain in equal amounts. For Vina life at the core really is to be enjoyed, for herself and for others. When she encounters someone new she'll immediately treat them as a friend, and she'll try her best to make sure everyone is enjoying themselves if she's present. She's outgoing, energetic, and seems to be completely lacking in both shame and hatred, almost never hesitating if the only source of that hesitation would be the possibility of embarrassing herself (also shown in her tendency to wear clothes which allow for a lot of freedom even if they don't conceal much), and while there might be people she can't get fully along with there's no-one who she'd actually wish ill upon. She believes strongly in utilitarianism and ethical hedonism, and actively tries to be understanding of everyone's perspectives and opinions, having a strong dislike for senseless violence and wishing to minimize pain and suffering if possible.

Biography
Born in Norway, Vina's life could be considered rather dull if looked at in broad terms. A happily married mother and father, two younger sisters and one older, with no serious incidents or accidents. Any real interesting parts of her youth originated from the girl herself, who in such a peaceful and happy atmosphere developed a very friendly and energetic personality. She never went so far as to outright eschew the more feminine side of life, but she found great joy in going outside, playing in the woods and getting herself and her clothes dirty. While her sisters shared some of her energy none of them were quite as expressive as Vina, who didn't so much dislike doing nothing as that she just always found something to do. At school her grades were decent but not exemplary, which mainly was attributed to her not being too interested in studying, in addition to having a rather specific lazy streak: her energy and passion was boundless whenever it came to anything she enjoyed, with a significant drop whenever it came to anything she did out of responsibility and necessity rather than personal interest. The two fields where she did shine were physical education and the artistic classes, and when it came to art she surpassed expectations. Lively and expressive as she was, to express herself even further through dance, music, drawings and paintings seemed to fit her like a glove.
It was that ability to turn her passion into art that got her a scholarship at the Rhode Island School of Design, where she flourished despite feeling sadness at being away from her family for an extended period for the first time. While she had gone to new places plenty of times, usually her family had been there with her or it had been a short trip, while now she had to deal with being away for years, with only short visits during the holidays. Nevertheless she persevered, determined to keep enjoying life and if possible use her artistic skills to spread joy to others as well. Her opinion on how some people seemed to think that a piece of art which didn't include tragedy or some other negative emotion was immature was that writing a song about, for example, a dead friend wasn't going to be any more fun than actually having a friend die. It could be beautiful, it could help get the negative emotions out, but as long as she had the choice her fun-loving nature wasn't going to make tragic art for the sake of it being more mature.
For Vina, Terrasphere is essentially another opportunity to enjoy herself, in a new world with new interesting things to experience and a lot more friends to meet and make.
