Grette[1] was a novitiate at the convent in Gäfvalle, as well as one of Hanne Brum's friends.
Biography[]
Grette dressed in a soldier uniform stolen from the convent laundry and went horseback riding to the stream with Hanne and one other novitiate. Her horse became spooked and threw her off, except Grette's boot got caught in the stirrup, leading to her being dragged back and forth through the shallows. Leoni Hilli eventually managed to settle the horse and release Grette. After lying in the water for a long moment, she released a sob and sat up.[2]
However, Grette later died from her wound being exposed to the poisoned river.[3] Her mother came to collect her body, although she never learned exactly what had happened.[1]
Physical description[]
Grette had straw-yellow hair. When caught in the stirrups, she wore a gray Fjerdan uniform and was bleeding badly from a cut on her forehead.[2]
