Eddas


The Start
↪ Freyja tried to teach her some warfare and fighting, didn't quite succeed on that beyond teaching her some basics and leaving her with decent sword skills. The goddess did succeed in the fertility aspect, sex, and seiðr.
↪ What she lacked in physical strength she compensates for with her magic, she is powerful with it and quite capable. Most of her magic is nature/element based, and she can alter it if she so wishes so. She is also quite adept at illusions and casting of incantations that can be quite terrifying -while it rarely happened, people knew better than to be targeted by her rarely seen wrath.
↪ Has mild foresight and learned to wield it better due to the seiðr, but she can't quite see things as they will unfold and mostly sees images or sounds, nothing too clear.
↪ Given that she's not quite vengeful in nature and her REAL wrath can be slow to awaken, it's no surprise she is mostly dedicated to healing arts, her fertility aspect, nature and the blessing of marriages, household, pregnancies, and protection of maidens and children, sometimes even noble warriors.
↪ Never knew the identity of her mother, so Frigg took over that rule and she also had her half-sister Freyja so she was never lacking with female influence.
↪ While she has a sweet nature and disposition, it doesn't mean she's completely innocent and unaware as certain mortals like to paint her. She was not a blushing maiden when she thought and faced her marital bed, and her wrath could be something that even scared other gods with the sheer ruthlessness of her punishments.
↪ Even though mortals seemed to admire her loyalty, and she was indeed loyal and steady, there were times her mind and heart did stray, though she never actually put it into action.

Major People
Njord: Her father and someone she cares about very much, she understands why after the war she had needed to go with the Aesir, her mother had been around then (though she doesn't remember her) but despite the distance, they had a good and loving relationship.
Freyr: Her half-brother and someone she was actually close as well, she was close to a daughter figure to him due to the difference in their age and he was always protective and loving of her.
Freyja: Her beloved half-sister, after Frigg, she was the person she spent the most time with. The one that tried to teach her the most, the one that took her on trips and let her see the world, they were close and loved each other as much as sisters did, when she married Loki, her eldest sister hadn't been there as they knew she would have put a stop to it.
Odin: She used to respect Odin, never saw him as a father figure as she did had her father. Whatever respect she felt slowly wilted at seeing some of his actions and it went away when she was forced upon another, through the rest of her life, she will forever nurse a grudge against him and the life he had snatched away from her.
Frigg: She was her mother figure and she cared for her a lot, she was the only mother figure she knew. Part of that fondness died a bit when she didn't try hard enough to stop Odin with the idea of marriage to Loki, died a bit more when she actually talked her into agreeing. She still respects her, as the woman did try to defend her and her children, but the fondness dwindled still.
Týr: Her former fiance and her first love, because despite all she had grown to love him and was looking forward to the life they should could have shared. A part of her will forever cherish him and those feelings were still held in a secret place of her heart and mind, something that solely belonged to her and thus refused to sever all ties with him.
Höðr and Baldr: She was rather close to them, they were to her what mortals will call her best friends or her brothers from another mother, she was extra fond of Höðr, their deaths were something she forever mourned, regretted and one of those things she NEVER forgave Loki for, the first two deep cracks on her separation from him.
Loki: The man she didn't know beyond tales and words, and the man that was forced to become her husband. With time, she did grow fond of him, maybe sometimes she could say that she loved him -though sometimes his actions just turned her away, he did give her children that she loved and cherished. And then came the fall, then came Höðr and Baldr, poor sweet Nanna, her children and she felt anger, so much anger, keeping him alive wasn't quite done out of the goodness of her heart...it was sheer spite and anger, he was going to be the tool into which her revenge could be achieved, so when Ragnarok came, she let him go and considered their marriage over then and there.
Narvi and Vali: Her children and undoubtedly the best thing that she could admit, without any sliver of doubt, was the best thing of her union with Loki. She loved and cherished them, they were the most important beings in her life and their protection and happiness were all that mattered to her...and then...everything happened and she was broken, forced to watch her children be part of the payment for the actions of her husband, the last two deep cracks that put an end to their marriage.
Loki's children: She never hated any of them, why should she? Some came before she was married to him, and any others after, should she blame them for the mistakes of the father? She was always kind and thoughtful to them, close to some, and polite distance with others.

Post-Ragnarok
↪ One of the few deities that survived it. Once the snake Skadi left was impaled and killed by an icicle and Loki was freed, she remained behind, letting him go to his death -as she knew he was going to die, and considered them done, finding peace in the choice.
↪ Tried to save Týr but failed. Helped Freyja to escape, but they were too late to save Freyr.
↪ Once the need for gods and deities stopped being so widespread, the remaining gods spread through different corners of the world and adapted to the ever-changing world. They only come together again for the Gathering, which takes place every 30 years before going their separate ways again.
↪ She's still close to Frejya as it was basically the only family she had left, her sister, her brother in law and her nieces, and she cherished being among them.
↪ In this new world, she still focused on healing and on bringing life. So much death she had seen and thus wanted to balance it out with helping new life come into the world. Her current mortal name is Signý Fehn, the name was chosen by her nieces as they thought it was amusing and it's not as if anyone will realize anyway.
↪ She started as a midwife but changed according to the changes in the world. Currently, she is a doctor and specializes in neonatology in the NICU unit. She's always mindful not to get in the way of Hela, as she gets well enough with her.
↪ Throughout the years she has found the reincarnations of the gods that died in the Ragnarok. Some she does seek out and tries to stay clear from some of them.
↪ Narvi and Vali have never returned to her and remain safe with Hela. She hasn't dared to have any children after them.
