🪐 — HEADCANONS / ola's mother & sister :

●  ola's mother was named caimile, & she was originally born in ghana. ●  caimile had a natural talent for languages, & spoke six fluently. in fact, she moved to sweden at age 18 to study linguistics at university. ●  caimile was in her final year at university when she discovered she was pregnant. ola's sister, eva, was born just months after caimile graduated. ●  eva is 4 years older than ola. they were both born in sweden. ●  at home, caimile & jakob spoke mostly swedish, but caimile spoke english & ewe to her daughters. they were both raised knowing all three languages. ● as children, eva was always the more analytical "left-brained" child who loved engineering, with ola drawn to art, dance, & interpersonal pursuits — though both girls were always very high achieving, academically speaking. ●  when ola was 5, caimile was offered her dream job as a professional translator in the united kingdom, & the family relocated to moordale. ●  during her youngest years, ola was closer to jakob than caimile because her mother was usually away working, leaving jakob to raise his daughters. ●   ola & eva were never told about their mother's affair, or that their parents had planned to divorce before caimile's cancer diagnosis, not even after her death. ●   caimile was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer when ola was 12. because of the unspoken tension between her & jakob, & the fact that eva was just entering college, it fell largely to ola to care for her mother. ● ola & caimile bonded strongly during her treatment, with ola getting the chance to learn much more about her mother's side of the family & their history. ● caimile died when ola was fifteen. at first, ola refused to go to therapy. but when her always high grades started slipping, her doctor recommended she be enrolled in grief counseling. her therapist saved ola's life. & ever since, it has been ola's dream to be a grief counselor herself to help other struggling kids.
