Ulf (Brother)

Unnamed Sister-In-Law

Unnamed Nieces and Nephews

Ulla is a noncanonical character from Varian and The 7 Kingdoms, though she is based on a canonical picture of Varian's absent mother in Tangled The Series. She is Varian's mother and Quirin's wife.

Once a fearless adventurer in pursuit of knowledge, Ulla disappeared after a disagreement with her research partner, Donella. Upon disappearing from Corona, Ulla left behind her husband, Quirin and her son, Varian. An almanac detailing her adventures and studies was left behind with Quirin and later discovered by Varian, charting a secret destination.

## History

### Appearance

Ulla is a beautiful youthful woman with honey skin, rosy cheeks and freckles. Her hair is long and a fiery orange color. It's shown to be messy and slightly wavy in her design, with a small braid keeping some hair out of her face, but majority of her flowy hair left free. In some of her pictures, she has her hair in a messy bun. She looks very similar to her son, Varian, and it's clear who Varian seems to take after. She has the same heart shaped face with big, round light blue eyes and thin eyebrows matching the color of her hair. Her nose is upturned and sharp, just like Varian's. Her lips are a natural peachy color.

In her first outfit, she wears similar shades of teal as her son, Varian. She has a fairly long, dark teal, high necked shirt with puffy sleeves that reach her elbows. She seems to have a simple white undershirt below the dress. She has a light gray apron attached to her skirt with a black belt that has a bow on the back. She wears a lighter colored teal vest on top her dress. The vest is held together with black buttons. Under the dress, she has light blue, baggy pants and black boots. In this outfit her hair is messy and free, safe for a small braid next to her left ear.

In her second outfit she looks more similar to the picture we saw of her in Queen For a Day. She is wearing a very short sleeved, fairly long salmon dress with a darker salmon collar and sleeves. Under that she has a natural white dress shirt with sleeves that reach her elbows. She also wears a short apron on her skirt, held up by a dark salmon belt matching her sleeves and collar. Below her dress, she wears baggy beige pants and brown boots with a small heel. She also has a piece cloth attached to her hip, holding a couple of pouches. In this outfit, her hair is in a messy bun, and she is wearing similar, or possibly even the same goggles that Varian always wears.

### Personality

Ulla is a very intelligent woman with adventurous and playful personality. She is very similar to Varian not only in appearance, but in interests and demeanor. She is very enthusiastic and upbeat, a cheerful woman that seems to be the complete opposite of her calm and calculating partner, Donella. However, things aren't always what they seem.

### Story

Starting out as a research partner to Donella, Ulla dreamed of a life of adventure. However, as she grew older she began to feel pressure to start a family and settle down. Upon meeting Quirin in the Dark Kingdom, she did just that and had a son. However she was always unable to shake that need for adventure.

Once Donella suggested they have one final quest for the Eternal Library, she happily agreed and told herself she'd return after the journey happy and ready to care for her new family. During their journey, repressed romantic feelings towards Donella started to reemerge, and she began to have a different idea of her future.

Upon reaching the Library, Ulla had a change of heart. Now wanting to keep the Library closed, fearing that others would destroy them with its knowledge, she entered into a fight with Donella. Her magic, which was amplified by the powers of the Eternal Library, consumed her and gave her her ghost form. Donella eventually traps her in the Library, where she remained until the events of 7k.
