Klaudia Huusko (Book Character)

Klaudia is the Finnish exchange student that comes to live with the Kahn's for the school year. It seems that all the Rosewood boys are infatuated with her curvy physique and Aryan looks. It seems that her knowledge of English is very weak when she speaks in broken sentences, often using Finnish words in place of simple English ones. However, it is later revealed to Aria alone that she is quite capable of speaking in perfect English sentences.

When Klaudia first arrives in Rosewood, she befriends Aria at the welcoming party the Kahns throw for her. They share their love of European music, and Aria's cultural knowledge makes her relatable to Klaudia. However, when Aria and Klaudia go to a ski gear store together, Aria spies Klaudia's phone outside the dressing room and sees her and Noel's name appearing in Klaudia's text messages. The texts are in Finnish of course, so Aria to translates them to find that Klaudia thinks Aria is a troll, and Noel deserves better - as in herself.

So, Aria becomes distant towards Klaudia and when Aria tries to have sex with Noel at the ski resort, Klaudia bangs down the hotel room door to sabotage the meeting. Noel gives into Klaudia's wants, rather than his girlfriend's desires. Aria shares her concern that Klaudia is trying to break them up and get Noel for herself, but Noel understands Aria to be jealous. After skiing, the three Kahn brothers and Aria go to the jacuzi, and Klaudia arrives, strips down to nothing, and climbs into the pool. Aria freaks out, screams, and runs away. Noel catches up with her, scolding her for her cultural insensitivity, but Aria protests that Klaudia is being slutty by any cultural standards and is trying to get with him. Noel leaves Aria to go back to the pool to comfort Klaudia.

The next day, Aria tries to make amends by sharing a ski lift with Klaudia and apologizing to her. That is when Klaudia turns on her, tells her in perfect English that she intends to bang her boyfriend tonight, then proceeds to knock Aria off the lift. Aria's instincts are faster, and she pushes Klaudia off, fracturing several of her bones.
