Additions to the family

Earlier, I introduced you to some of my fellow gnomes. Our family happens to be way bigger than that though, so I proudly introduce to you two more sisters: Anna and Vanellope, as well as our cousin Sergeant Calhoun.

Anna is the star from the well-known movie Frozen. The clip below embodies everything we gnomes stand for: a terrific sense of humour with just the right amount of drama.


She's also very imaginative. It was her request to build a snowman that gave life to the much loved character Olaf:


Who also happens to be a gnome, albeit unrelated.


The other gnome I'd like you to meet is Vanellope. She plays a major part in the movie Wreck-It Ralph and is the supreme ruler of the arcade game Sugar Rush, a racing kart game made entirely out of candy. Well, that would be enough to draw in any gnome, wouldn't it?


She and I get along great, at family picnics you can usually find us together in a corner, talking about cars.


To outsiders she's a bit of an acquired taste, or in context-appropriated lingo: a tough cookie. But once you get to know her and discover that this little lady is actually a princess, it turns out she's quite sweet. Apart from the execution bit.



From the same movie comes another tough cookie, but her toughness is of an entirely different caliber.


Her name is Sergeant Tamora Jean Calhoun and she's from the game Heroe's Duty (that's pronounced 'djuteh', not 'doody').


She is tough as nails. If Captain Janeway were a gnome, this would be her.
