Early Life

Born October 29th 1992 in Nyöping the capital of Torskplats province, Backström comes from a lowborn family with her lineage going back generations in the region, as young as 8 Backström would skip much of her traditional education to work with her father and mother in fishing. It is recorded by those around her at the time that she did not live by conventional standards for women, some even considered her a Salmon Girl, Backström would later go on to explain in a 2020 interview that pressure from others forced her to adopt more feminine features later in her life. At 18 Backström would join Vallmo, the start of her interest in politics and her future political career.

Backström would admit in the same 2020 interview that she was mute for much of her early life, though she overcame her muteness as she got older she spoke vividly on her struggle with connecting to others and stated that she only improved by speaking to deaf children through sign language, something Backström described as “Entirely liberating to an isolated child”.

Time In The National Fishers Union

While enrolled at Raudrena University in 2005 Backström would work as a representative and consultant for the Blostlandic National Fishers Union, her experience in the industry and study in environmental science would serve her well and she’d gain a reputation as a reliable advocate for the environment and labor. Backström was vital in two landmark cases to pass regulations on the overfishing of endangered species of fish and reptiles, “NFU vs Blostland” and the “Province of Torskplats vs Blostland”, this environmentalism would continue into her Ministership and Premiership

Member of Parliament

Minister for Ocean and Fishing Welfare
