Editing Elsa Gildenstern (section)

===What is your family like?===

Raised more or less by herself and in part by her older (by four years) brother, she learned early that no one will look out for you - you´ll have to manage all by yourself. Perhaps paradoxically, her "upbringing" has brought with it some sympathy for people who has had it just as bad yet still manages to make way - she does her very best not to steal from or cheat anyone who doesn´t have it better than herself.

She and her brother suffered plenty of abuse and indignities as part of growing up on the streets of Altdorf and in the lower theatre circles - she has no illusions of justice as anything more than an empty concept, and views those in power with skepticism and some fear.
