Apparent Age: Early thirties
Occupation: Fiction Editor

Personality:

Sigyn could be called faithful, devoted, and caring, but only in reference to Loki, and those who would call her that are few and far apart. As she is without her husband and child, the next in line for her to care about is herself, and she does so in the knowledge that if she is gone, there will be no one left who would care for them as she would.

Carrying herself with dignity and a silent demand for respect, Sigyn is rarely loud….and she rarely has to be.

Beneath a calm exterior lies a woman who does what she has to. She hasn’t avoided hard work when it was necessary, and has waited for the results of her work with infinite patience. If she feels she has to, she will lie, with no regard to the consequences to anyone else. She learned to lie for her husband, she continued to use it to serve herself.

Sigyn lives without much fear, as she feels the very worst has happened to her that possibly can, at least until Ragnarok. After seeing her child ripped apart and her husband set to torment with only her to lessen it, there is very little that could break her heart further.

While she doesn’t live to do much more than live, Sigyn still does so with grace and an unspoken demand for all she feels she deserves as a goddess, faded and nearly powerless though she may be. She does not settle, and she does not tolerate those who cross her. She may not have a clear goal to work towards, but she will not be held back.

Sigyn is slow to smile and even slower to laugh - those who have heard the latter are even rarer than those who would call her faithful, devoted and caring.



History:

Sigyn is not a figure there is much history for.

Though a goddess in her own right, Sigyn is known as Loki’s wife. She is best known for staying by his side and catching the poison that dripped onto him, bound as he was by the entrails of their own son. Faithfully, she caught the poison in a bowl, pausing only to empty it when it was full.

When the words of who she was traveled at all, they were in the story of her husband. She was known for only two things, but those two things, it seemed, were enough to keep her. Her name was added as an afterthought, as an answer when someone asked what became of Loki, trapped and tortured as he was.

This being the case, it would probably be little surprise to anyone that she was pulled along like something necessary but easily forgettable, and always the same way. She came second, she came as a whisper, as an idle memory. She came with a bowl in her hands.

Without Loki, she was only Sigyn, and it was her good fortune that the temperament that had kept her by Loki ensured she could survive on her own. She quietly and determinedly made her way through living wherever her neglectful worshippers brought her, waiting until she was spirited away again.

She traveled through Europe, though calling it traveling didn’t occur to her when she felt tugged along like an old habit. It was the same to her no matter which country she was in - she was alone, she was only Sigyn.

It was much the same when she crossed to America. She took one quiet, measuring look around her before setting to work taking care of herself.
