I suppose you could state she was half Swedish since her mother was from a Swedish family from Stockholm.

Tove was surely gravely insulted when somebody called her Swede. Especially after Winter War. Finland and Sweden had defense pact but Sweden choose to be neutral and promote peace. And so it deliberately hindered war effort preventing arms transport from Norway ports. Only aid was volunteers, which were mostly Finns living in Sweden.

Surely? But she was ethnically a Swede.
