Hi! Could you tell me more about your Sigyn, please? What is her personality and origins like? I would love to know what kind of person she is and how she was raised.
Hello :)
Oh, how nice of you to ask, Anon! :D
Well, my Sigyn, or rather the variant I use in my fanfiction and for most of the arts I commission, is the daughter of Queen Freya Njordottir of Vanaheim, and of Iwaldi, a dwarf from Nidavellir and brother to the King of the Dwarves, Eitri (Iwaldi prefers his forge to the politics, much quieter and less worry and less paper work ^^' XD)
As her parents are separated (because Freya is Freya XD), Sigyn spends some part of the year on Vanaheim, and the other part on Nidavellir.
From her father, Sigyn inherited a talent for forging weapons, and her red curls. From her mother, she inherited her blue eyes... and lots of mummy issues? XDXD Her father spoils her every time she goes back to Nidavellir and Dwarves makes delicious pies and pastries and desserts... and let's just say this Sigyn variant, she's a little bit chubby and very cute :)
She's not very tall either, as she's half-dwarf.
She's very kind, sweet and a bit shy. As she was raised by Freya telling her again and again she is not pretty enough (because she's too chubby for her mother's taste), she does not believe herself worthy of Prince Loki and does not dare speaking to him - turning herself into a cat or a fox when he visits Vanaheim with his mother and his brother.
(Though, of course, in Loki's eyes, when they eventually meet, she's the true essence of Beauty <3)
She's seen as prudish, but it's not totally true. She just has one love in her heart, and only belongs to that one person (YOU KNOW WHO XD). She has friends and she loves her family members dearly, however, as far as romance is concerned, she does not see anyone else but that special someone.
She's very good at Seidr and uses it mostly for the weapons she forges with her father and brothers, Daenne and Nabbi.
She gets along very well with her uncle Feyr, who is King of Alfheim and a famed diplomat, God of Peace and Prosperity.
On her Dwarf side, she has three siblings: Idunn (Half-dwarf too; Iwaldi had her with an Asgardian lady), Daenne and Nabbi (Iwaldi had them with a Dwarf lady).
On her Vanir side, she has only sisters: Lofn, Gersemi, Hnossa, Nanna, Snotra and Var - all very beautiful and very much like their mother.
She loves both Vanaheim and Nidavellir fiercely and is proud of her double heritage (not a huge fan of Odin, but she stays polite and courteous, for the sake of the Aesir/Vanir peace. She does like Frigga a lot, though)
Though her mother used to be Captain of the Valkyries, Sigyn prefers forging weapons rather than wielding them. HOWEVER, she will unleash Ragnarok if you say one word against one of her loved ones.
She loves to gossip with Ratatoskr during her free time :)
Her face cast is Nicola Coughlan :)
Some fan arts:
The Sigyn from my books will be pretty much like this variant, except for her family being a bit different, and some other details :p (no spoilers ;) )
