When she found out she was pregnant with David, she feared that this child might also die. Elsbeth did not leave her bed, sang religious chants, and prayed that the baby would be fine.

David has thick black hair, dark eyebrows, and soft pale skin. He inherited his father’s strong posture, but not his height – he measures only 1.45 meters, while his father was much taller at his age. Despite his mother Elsbeth’s constant worry due to the trauma of losing her other son Mozes, David is very adventurous and wants to explore the highest trees and deepest holes.
