Me: I can't make this character too capable and detailed, people will think she's a mary sue :(

The absolute chad, legend and icon Astrid Lindgren: Ok so here is my OC Pippilotta Viktualia Rullgardina Krusmynta Efraimsdotter Långstrump but you can call her Pippi Långstrump for short. She is only nine years old but she lives alone because her mother has died and her father has got lost at sea. And since she lives alone she can do whatever she wants, also she is so rich she never has to worry about money, she has a chest full of golden coins. Also she has a horse and a monkey. And Pippi lives in her own house called Villa Villekulla, she has red hair that defies gravity, and she is so nice that when it's her birthday she gives presents to her friends instead of wanting to receive them. She dresses super uniquely and this is her design, she looks super fun. She went to school once but she didn't like it so she never went again and everyone was fine with it. Oh, did I mention that she is the strongest girl in the world and can easily carry her horse around?

9: Most Beloved Sister

A short story by Astrid Lindgren that really moved me as a kid. The seven-year-old Barbro feels like her parents don't really care about her, but she has a secret twin sister called Ylva-Li who likes her more than anything else. Ylva-Li is the queen of the golden hall which can be reached by crawling down a hole under the rose bush, Salikon. One day Ylva-Li tells Barbro that she will die when the roses of Salikon have withered. Barbro refuses to believe her. When she returns to her parents it turns out that they have been very worried about her and that they have bought a puppy for her, something she has been wanting for a long time. The next day, the roses on the rose bush are all dead, and there is no longer a hole in the ground.

As a child I hated that ending and thought it was so sad. I didn't understand that Ylva-Li most likely was an imaginary friend that Barbro didn't need anymore or had grown too old for.
