“Also counted among the Aesir is one whom some call Slanderer of the Gods, the Source of Deceit, and the Disgrace of All Gods and Men…Loki is pleasing, even beautiful to look at, but his nature is evil and he is undependable. More than others, he has the kind of wisdom known as cunning, and is treacherous in all matters.” - Gylfaginning

Dances with Tricksters: Loki by ReneeVonMorren

Loki takes many forms in the myths, of course, but I always pictured him as very physically active, and as a result, looking wiry and almost balletic. He’s got to be quick to get out of the skirmishes he always causes, right? Plus, in my mind, he’s always appeared a little “wilder” than the other gods, more elemental and raw, less apt to look polished and godly (unless it suits his goals) and more prone to, you know…crouching in trees and scaring the crap out of everybody. And then laughing himself hoarse about it all later.
