Kirsten

Kirsten Larson is a brave, serene girl. She was born on June 8, 1845, making her story take place in 1855. She lives in Minnesota prior to the forming of towns. She enjoys sewing, playing with dolls, caring for animals, going on picnics, exploring the forest, and would like to someday be as brave and as strong a pioneer as her mother is. In our group of dolls, Kirsten is the Mom Friend. She always tells everyone how to do things and ensures they stop doing dumb things when they're doing dumb things. Kirsten likes her Swedish traditions and is working to mix them with her American traditions.

Now, in her doll life, Kirsten is about 10 years old. A 10-year-old doll doesn't do too well. As such, we need to clean her up, especially her leg. Because it has fallen off.
