• Details

  Sylfrid is a huldra, a being from Scandinavian mythology which, in some cases, is described as looking like a beautiful woman but with a hollow back like an old tree trunk, and a cow-like or fox-like tail. They can either be benign or malignant, some helping humans while others act more like a siren, luring men to their doom. Sylfrid is the latter sort. With her glamour, she can make herself irresistible, and is dangerous to those that get on her bad side.
  
  Although she lives in an underground community with other Hulder-kin, Sylfrid mostly keeps to herself, being a bit shy, with a tendency to run off or hide if approached in an incautious manner by someone unfamiliar. She rarely leaves her home, and therefore doesn't have much knowledge of other places and beings, beyond what she has heard from accounts and stories told by others.
  
  Though she is dangerous, Sylfrid has little interest in harming anyone who hasn't done anything to her. She dislikes humans, but prefers to stay away from them rather than attacking, as long as they leave her alone.
  
  Like others of her kind, Sylfrid hates having anyone get too close to her back, and touching the hollow part (though it's unlikely anyone would manage to get close enough) will result in Sylfrid either running away, attacking, or even cursing the offender. She will only allow her back to be touched by members of her own species and by those who have earned her trust.
  
  While not typically violent, if offended, Sylfrid tends to be very vindictive. She will hold a grudge, and if the offender is allowed to live, getting on her good side will be nearly impossible. If it's someone she already likes, she may be slightly more forgiving, but repairing the relationship will still be a long-shot.
  
  When getting over her initial shyness, Sylfrid has a tendency to be flirty around almost any adult man, whether it's her own species, human, or otherwise.
