Biography
Ronja was born in season one episode one, Born in The Storm. She is about 10, and lives with her mother, Lovis, and her father, Mattis in Mattis' fort. She likes to venture into the forest and play. It is in the forest where she met her friend and 'brother', Birk Borkason. In the episode, The Vow To Be Brother And Sister, Ronja and Birk make a vow to be brother and sister.

Physical Appearance
Ronja has pale skin and brown eyes. Her hair is short and brown, and it is rather knotty and messy. She wears a light pink tunic with dark/hot pink piping at the bottom, at the collar, and sleeves. She also has a brown belt with a simple silver square buckle and short pale yellow tights/leggings. She goes around in bare feet and sometimes wears shoes in the winter.

Personality
Ronja is a happy, cheerful, and energetic little girl, going every day into the woodlands and play with the animals.

All the people in Mattis' castle respect her and have grown fond of her. The men were worried about her when she caught a cold and grow miserable when she leaves the fort, her father Mattis especially. Noddle-Pete took Ronja into his heart most of all the others and describes her as his pride. He even betrays her a secret that he does not entrust to anyone else.

She is intelligent, which impresses many robbers. While Mattis and the men try to overcome the abyss in the castle, Ronja has already found a way. She is obedient, helpful and resourceful. In this way, she learns important skills from her mother such as caring for the wounded and preserving meat.

Like her father, Ronja has little control over the extend of her emotional expression but she learns to embrace and understand her feelings better as the series progresses. having lived a fairly sheltered life due to the robbers and Mattis not wanting to ruin her innocence too soon, Ronja views everything new as potentially good and exciting. Unlike many characters and even Birk, she seems to enjoy and appreciate beauty in the simple things in life, like rain, moss, or a sunset.

Aside from Mattis', Ronja undergoes the most emotional learning of all the characters.
