I've Always Thought That Birk Would Be Shorter Than Roland But Taller Than Miranda - Blog Posts

A piece of paper with several fan art pencil drawings of Birk Balthazar from Sofia the First. In the top left corner, there is a picture of Birk wearing his sailing hat while smiling happily at his wife Miranda, who has her hair done in a ponytail and her hand on his shoulder as she smiles at him. In the bottom left corner, there's a picture of Birk holding his baby daughter Sofia in his arms. She's reaching one hand up towards his face while looking up at him with joy. On the right there's a picture of Birk standing looking off to the side with his hands on his hips.

Since we never see him in the show, except for his hat, I have decided to make my own design for Birk Balthazar, Miranda’s first husband!Using what little we know about him from sources outside the show and combining them with my own headcanons, I am really happy with how this all came together.

Since he is Sofia's biological dad, I think she must have inherited her hair colour and texture from him, so I wanted to show that. Since he is from Freezenberg and is a sailor I thought he should have a big beard and mustache. He is wearing a long coat that he ripped the sleeves off so his sailor tattoos could be seen. On his right arm he has tattoos of an anchor (because he sailed across the ocean to the western kingdoms many times before), a polar bear (his favorite animal, and one of the main animals of his homeland), and one he keeps covered with a scarf Miranda gave him. On his left arm he has a carnation (the flower of Miranda's homeland), and an orca (given to him after he saved a ship from a sea monster as a token of his bravery).
