Kvinnen
-
Meaning: “Synnova”; a Norse name meaning “a beautiful sight”, Bjorndatter”; daughter of Bjorn,
“Bjorn”; old Norse name derived from the word bjorn, meaning “bear”.
Twenty-three full revolutions of the earth have come to pass since her birth on the first day of Ýlir, the second month of winter. Youthful in appearance and naïve at heart and mind, she holds the appearance of someone no older than twenty years. But with each day her body ages and matures as any mortal’s would – she takes great pride and care in her physical health and appearance, but some natural processes simply cannot be avoided.
Synnova was born into a family that lived in a large Southern village in Scandinavia. Her family was the founding family of a coastal village surrounded by a bountiful mountainous landscape and her father, Bjorn Landvik, was their Jarl; a man renowned for his fearless tactics, ferocity, and strict rulings. Many things were expected of her due to her status, the Jarl’s daughter, and because of her mothers passing; the duties of a woman were instilled at an early age. Her educational level was higher than most because of her hierarchical privileges. Her accent reflects a compilation of her multilingualism between Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, and English.
While Synnova is undoubtedly attracted to men; she’s completely untouched and entirely pure. The reasoning behind this being her father’s overbearingly protective presence, along with her innocent nature. When in the presence of someone she finds to be rather attractive, she most certainly won’t act upon such feelings – instead, she usually pretends to be entirely aloof to that fact and will beat around the bush as long as possible while avoiding the subject entirely, if at all possible.
Spellbound I am, I am
The wizard has enchanted me, enchanted me
Spellbound deep in my soul, in my soul
In my heart burns a sizzling fire, a sizzling fire
Spellbound I am, I am
The wizard has enchanted me, enchanted me
Spellbound in my heart's root, my heart's root
My eyes gaze to where the wizard stood

She’s a Scandinavian woman through and through when her appearance is taken into account. Trademark physical traits are clearly apparent. But, she carries certain unique qualities of unusual beauty that separate her out from the rest.
Altogether, she’s a rather petite woman; standing no taller than 5’2” and fluctuating between 110-123lbs, depending upon her physical health and the season. She possesses a well-proportioned, curvaceous hour glassed (mesomorph) figure with fully developed feminine curves often hidden beneath wool dresses, leathers, and furs. Her body is kept quite healthy and she’s femininely toned from repetitive chores – but toned muscles are not overly noticeable. Silky, platinum silver-blonde hair framing her heart-shaped face is normally braided for easy management, lightly oiled with the essence of lavender, but not often fussed over. Although her complexion is naturally rosy-pale, she’s acquired a generous tan (along with the appropriate tan lines) throughout her many hours spent out in the sun. Overall her facial structure is delicately constructed, unlike most in her family; her cheek bones aren’t overly prominent, her nose is slightly long with a soft dip downwards at its bridge, and her lips are alluringly pouty and often left their natural rosy color. An easy claim to make is that her eyes are her most striking feature and most unique; slightly rounder and almond shaped, they both possess their own unique coloration. Her left eye is a deep electric blue with a ring of hazel surrounding her pupil, while her right eye is a crystalline ocean green with a ring of vibrant green surrounding the pupil.
Although she possesses a unique beauty, she’s rather insecure about her appearance and has become rather guarded when it comes to her femininity. Rather despising the attention her ample bosom attracts from vulgar men, she discovered that binding her chest with wraps of linen – making it appear smaller than it truly is – often helps deter their attentions. That habit is carried out to this day as she’s found a preference for the appearance of a smaller chest. The rest of her generously proportioned, feminine curves are often concealed beneath the layers of her clothing – whether it is wool, fur, or leather – but are still prominently evident.

- A traditional Celtic shield tattooed in black ink at the point between her shoulder blades. The Celtic shield is often used to ward off evil spirits and also for protection.
- “Bjorndatter” tattooed vertically, in black ink, down the underside of her left forearm in an elegant Old English font; it was a defensive tactic within her old village, so all within it knew that she was the daughter of the Jarl, Bjorn Landvik.
- Both of her earlobes are pierced and often adorned with simple silver studs. They were never anything fancy or extravagant, considering her lifestyle. Anything fancy dangling from her ears would prove to be bothersome.
- Over the years she’s acquired multiple small scars, mostly just from falls or accidents with equipment; most are located on her knees, shins, and elbows. They’re hardly noticeable unless one’s purposefully seeking them out.
- The palms of both hands and the undersides of each wrist are marked with raised, horizontal, scars. She was sentenced with four swift strikes, delivered by a thin metal rod, during a punishment.

Synnova devotedly follows the religion of Norse Paganism. There are many Gods affiliated with this religion, each and every one serving their own purpose with stories belonging to each individual. She’s very open minded and accepting of other religions because she knows that there are many Gods and that each should be respected in its own manner.
- Her blood type is A+.
- She's entirely left handed and particularly clumsy with her right.
- She's a virgin in every meaning of the word - as a slave, she's required to wear a chastity belt at all times.
She believes all the supernatural beasts to still be nothing more than tall-tales.

The thoughts whirling within the mind of the Scandinavian woman are fairly complicated; but at the same time, they hold a certain simplicity. At most times her curious nature controls her. Should something or someone find a way to pique her curiosity, she’ll most certainly follow along so long as her interest is held. She’s an innocent soul, and more often than not, sees the best in everyone. Convincing her of something is remarkably simplistic considering her gullibility. She would believe that the sky was green if someone put enough effort into their argument.
Along with gullibility and naivety is the innocence of a sheltered woman; she’s not been exposed to much outside of her homeland and when exposed to something new, she reacts with either extreme fear or persistent curiosity – sometimes both. When afraid of something, her mind’s always analyzing the possibility of whether or not she’s in danger; this over analysis often leads to her being overly-fearful and evasive of the things that frighten her.
On the other end of the spectrum, the woman has the temper of her father. Anger and frustration are quick to surface; she's quick to fly into fits of rage when angered, and doesn't hesitate to spew forth words of anger regardless of her target's social standing. Once her temper is flaring, all other sentiments are thrown to the wolves.

- Everything about the ocean, watching fights, following along on hunts, preparing and cooking meals, the moonlit night sky, fresh tropical fruit, mead, wolves, bears, others that hail from her homeland, making jewelry.
-
- Foreign and unnatural creatures that she's not seen before, being taken off-guard, not knowing how to fight, wyrmmes, enslavement, being touched against her will.

My life blood is shed,
steel painted red.
A thousand men dead,
raven's fast fed.And so the veil falls,
revealing walls,
of cavernous halls.
Valhalla calls.The fighting is done,
feasting begun.
A saga well spun,
of battles won.
