Steina Jónsdóttir
Lauga is Jón and Margrét's daughter and Steina's younger sister. Lauga, with her blonde hair and blue eyes, is considered to be very beautiful and charming. Lauga does not like Agnes from the beginning, and she continues to loathe her even after the rest of the family warms to Agnes. Lauga thinks that Steina treats Agnes better than Steina treats her and worries that Agnes is ruining the family's reputation in the valley.
