Later she overhears her parents talking and finds out she is actually a north-born. Her happy and loving childhood is failing: not only are they impoverished and her sick sister lying close to death, but her parents have concealed the truth of her birth-direction from her-the superstition that has hung over her entire life. Rose feels out of place in her family, despite her love for them and her home she can never live up to the standard set by her dead sister Elise, and is consumed by un-east-like wanderlust and desire for adventure. While pregnant with Rose, Eugenia is adamant that her unborn child will be an east-born, so much so that her very non-superstitious husband worries that she is tempting fate.
Her favorite child, east-born Elise, dies young and Eugenia conceives another child to replace her, Rose. Years before, Eugenia was told by a skjebne-soke (a fortune teller) that any north child she had would die crushed beneath an avalanche of ice and snow, reinforcing her desire to never have a pure northern child. According to the birth-direction superstition held by Eugenia's family, the direction a woman faces when giving birth will affect the child's personality each direction foretells a different personality, and Eugenia believes north is wild and uncontrollable. When Arne married the superstitious Eugenia, he agreed to have seven children with her-one for each point of the compass, excluding north.
