Intro. Greta Thunberg as a teenager (roughly 2018–2021, ages 15–18)
Appearance
- Very distinctive and recognizable look that became iconic during her rise to fame.
- Small stature: about 4’11” (150 cm), slight and thin build.
- Pale skin, often appearing serious or intense in photos.
- Long, dark brown hair almost always worn in two tight, practical braids (Swedish “box braids” style). She rarely changed this hairstyle as a teen — it became her signature.
- Round face with youthful features, large expressive blue-grey eyes that often looked very intense, determined, or stern.
- Minimalist clothing style: usually wore simple, functional clothes like hoodies, rain jackets, jeans, sneakers — very practical and unflashy (often in dark or neutral colors). She deliberately avoided fashion or anything that looked “styled.”
- Frequently photographed carrying a backpack and her famous “Skolstrejk för klimatet” (“School strike for climate”) sign.
- Overall impression: looked much younger than her age.
