Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Rita Lynghale.
Age: Late teens.
DoB: May 31st.
Race: Hulder, follows Norwegian legends where they have cow tails.
Ethnicity: Norwegian.
Birthplace: Outside of Troms. Just imagine a lot of mountains. And trees.
Current home: On the current boarder of Sweden and Norway.
Place in time: 900 to 1050.
Family members: Linda (mother) - Rita and Linda don't get along, but they don't fight either. Linda gave Rita her current territory, so that they wouldn't fight over it later. She often visits Rita during holidays to get her to socialize.

Tora (older sister) - these two can barely look at each other without flashing their teeth. Tora originally wanted Rita's territory, is quite bitter over the fact that she got it first. She's just waiting for her to drop her guard, so she can steal it.

Snøfrid (younger sister) - She's yet to leave her mother, but she is planning on it soon. She and Rita get along, although they don't talk much. Decreased in the original story.

Tore (older brother) - they talk every once in a while. He has gained a complete human form, which Rita finds somewhat disgusting though she keeps it to herself.

Other friends/pets: Storm - a somewhat strange relationship between friend and pet.

Gaupe - One of her favorite animals from the forest, but can't stand the way he reeks of human.

Anja - Goes to her to send messages, trade herbs and advice on how to get away from Linda during the holidays.
Bio: Rita grew up like most hulders do; she was raised by her parents and siblings till she was 14 years of age, and left the nest. Rita had a better kick-off then most, as her mother Linda gave her a territory of her own, so that she didn't have to battle for one. As a child, her family moved about restlessly to avoid being hunted down. Hulders aren't exactly popular among humans. Rita has been continuously battled them since she left her family, leaving her with a strong hate towards man and strangers. She's still protecting her home, although times are getting rougher and rougher.

Eyes: Bright green.
Body: Curvy, not very slim, but quiet powerful. Fair skin, no moles or imperfections.
Clothing: No clothing what so ever.

Personality and general about: Sort of introverted, but not shy. Rita can socialize just fine, but she doesn't feel the need for it. It's very common for hulders to seduce men of all kinds, but Rita's lack of interest for contact has left her with absolutely no interest (currently anyway) in breeding or marrying. She's not very empathic either, as she cares more about her own survival than others. She's rather skeptic of new things, and doesn't like doing things without a plan. Oddly enough, she has a weak spot for children and horses. She doesn't interact with them very much though if she has the chance. She prefers to just watch. Rita is very protective of things and people she likes, and will fight to her death to make sure they're not harmed. Even if she stands no chance. Rita will not take a liking to a person right away. It might take a whole year before she's able to consider you a friend. She'll not stand up for someone she's known for just a few months, even if they have a lot in common. 'You're on your own buddy. Ain't my problem'. Rita relies a lot on her cunning nature, as she's not nearly as powerful as her older siblings. She's not very prideful, and is more than willing to use dirty tricks and cheat to win. Heck, that might be what she's most proud of. She loves ironic and sarcastic humor, and if you're able to get her to laugh, she'll not be able to stop until she's tired out. If she gets a real bad case of laughter, she'll roll on the ground and become unable to move. She'll also point and laugh, if someone does something stupid.
Habits: Humming her herself, combing her hair with her hands, playing with her tail when she has lost interest in a conversation. She often answers questions with more questions.
Likes: Fish watching, fruits and berries.
Adores: Music, bathing.
Dislikes: Cold things.
Hates: Strangers, humans, weapons.
Talents: Amazing sense of direction and movement.
Facinated by: creatures who sing or make similar sounds.
Not able to: do handcrafts.
Got no clue about: city life.
Couldn't care less about: clothing. She doesn't perceive warmth or cold the same way we do.

Family members: Linda - Tora and Linda get along a lot better than you could imagine, though they often have disagreements.

Rita - Can't stand the fact the girl got the territory she had her eyes on. Doesn't really hate her besides that. Rita is the one who makes up the drama.

Tore - They have regular contact with each other, and she sometimes babysits his baby when he's busy.


Other friends/pets: Terje - Childhood friends. He was the one who introduced her to the human way of living. She used to have this big crush on him in her early teens, but quickly grew out of it.

Hermod - Tora's pet raven. He delivers messages and scouts her territory so that she doesn't have to get as active as others.

A few more disagreement after the incident, Tora was kicked out and forced to fight for a territory on her own. She barely made it, and not long after she hear her little sister received the land that was originally meant for her, leaving her a little bitter.

Personality and general about: While many often make Tora out to be a manipulative b***h, she's not really that bad. She's very friendly and open, easy to get along with and got a way of making everything she talks about interesting, no matter how boring the subject. She genuinely likes to listen to people, and is great at keeping secrets. She won't think twice to help somebody, rushing over miles hoping to make a difference. People who pass through her territory have a bigger chance of leaving the place with more than they came with, ranging anything from herbs to gold. Her downside is that she has a need to be in control. If things don't go as she imagined it, she'll use force to get things back on the right track. She also had a habit of blowing things out of proportion. A bit of a drama queen you might say.
Habits: Fluffing up her hair, humming, checking her nails when she's not paying attention.
Likes: Taking long walks, climbing trees, walking around in towns.
Adores: Sunbathing, shiny objects.
Dislikes: People who talk too much.
Hates: Things that smell, loosing things.
Talents: Excellent liar.
