Name: Hjordis
Stage: Prentice
Race: Pure Ice
Gender: Female
Base Traits: Strong-willed // Tough // Genuine
Personality: Hjordis is like most who were raised within the Ild’vann, a strong-willed spirit who will do her best to survive and support those within her community. Since the village relocated to the new area with plenty more resources and far less devastating winters, Hjordis only knows about the worst times from stories told by the older generations but their lessons remained to same and she took to them because she was determined to do her best by the Ild’vann ways. As such she is tough, a hard-worker who will push herself to do her best and refuses to slack off whenever there is something to be done. She's genuine, not a good liar at all who abhors fake flattery, and will constantly speak her mind without realizing that sometimes others will consider her a bit mean spirited as a result of her blunt personality. Those that get to know her though understand her prickly nature is simply because she is careful about who she gets close with, especially with strangers, but those she cares for will be taken care of and sometimes coddled....as long as they aren't doing anything completely stupid to make her chastise them. She truly isn't good at sugar coating things and will never give you the choice of good news or bad news. The truth is the truth, after all.
History: Hjordis was not always from the Ild’vann. The girl actually was raised as a youngling within the capital since her father had fallen in love with a young lady there. Makya was a young hunter who had gotten tired of the dire situation in the Ild’vann, opting to instead find trade and work in the capital to try and support his family from afar. During that time the hunter fell in love with Aribelle, the oldest daughter of a decently well off merchant family, and surprisingly enough Aribelle's parents accepted Makya once he had proven himself quite capable with business. Years passed and eventually they were expecting their own child, a miracle after so long without any luck. Even Aribelle's younger sister Orla had a pair of children, the younger woman constantly talking about how thankfully she had younglings who could take over the business one day since Aribelle was not as fortunate to have any of her own. Of course once Aribelle was with child her sister's attitude soured as she realized that Aribelle's child would probably receive more favor, her parents always giving Aribelle priority as the eldest and more capable child even after marrying a hunter from the northern mountains.
Unfortunately though Makya was traveling for the business when tragedy struck, the man lost to a bandit attack which left his wife alone in the world. Aribelle was at a loss, she was just now pregnant and her husband would never be there to hold their newborn. Her parents surprisingly allowed Aribelle to grieve and did not push her to remarry while allowing her to chose the name Hjordis for the baby, a traditional name that Makya had wanted from the Ild'vann. Despite having her daughter by her side, Aribelle seemed distant as if part of her was lost in the northern mountains without Makya, and the woman focused more on work than raising her daughter. As Hjordis grew up she often found herself in fights with her cousins who were only a few years older than her, the girl too blunt and impulsive to play by their games. Any comments about her father's lowly blood and pranks often turned into a brawl, the youngling constantly coming home with bruises and scrapes from getting into it with the other two. Aribelle could cover for her child for a while until a really bad incident happened...Hjordis witnessed her older cousins bullying a servant and opted to protect the other girl. The incident which turned into an argument with more insults against her father....too bad your mother wasn't with him, that way your blood wouldn't disgrace our halls today...and Hjordis snapped with the most anger she had ever felt against them. Their violent fight ended up with her tumbling into candles, the flickering flames catching curtains on fire and as Hjordis was shoved back into the flames, the boys not realizing how dangerous their actions truly were, and part of the estate was completely destroyed by fire. The bullied servant returned with others just in time to pull the trio out of the flames, saving Hjordis but also resulting in her getting into severe trouble with her grandfather and mother who could not protect her when both cousins blamed Hjordis for the disaster. Aribelle didn't want her daughter to fight with her cousins, her mother fully understood the boys were set to fight with Hjordis because of her jealous younger sister who didn't want Hjordis to inherit the business, and Hjordis seemingly had too much of Myka's spirit within her own so a decision was made to have Hjordis go to the Ild'vann. Aribelle believed it was for the best since the Ild'vann had relocated to a safer area near the capital, the families agreeing that Hjordis could be raised by her uncle who was a blacksmith there. Aribelle would stay in the capital to continue the family business while mother and daughter could visit each other throughout the year, Hjordis preferring her mother to visit while she would avoid her mother's relatives as much as possible. So for the last few years Hjordis has lived within the Ild'vann and learned more about their ways, the teen feeling happier and more like herself than ever before.
Relatives: - Aribelle & Myka: parents
-Orla: Aribelle's sister & Hjordis' aunt.
-Henrik: Aribelle's father & Hjordis' grandfather.
-Edvin & Mammon: Orla's sons & Hjordis' cousins who fought with Hjrodis.
-Tallulah: Orla's daughter, younger than Hjrodis by two years.
-Brandir: Hjrodis' uncle, her father's younger brother who has not yet settled with anyone.
Physical Description:
[Crystal Placement]
Colors - UPDATED
Hjordis has a couple of face crystals, then a larger pattern of crystals right below her collarbone on her chest with scattered crystals beneath her chest, around her sides, lower thighs and another set around her belly button. Smooth, almost like petals or shards of ice for shape with some smaller round ones in between.
Some Notes: -Despite being blunt about certain things, she's not the best with expressing her softer emotions, and prefers to create things to show how she feels about others.
-When seemingly alone she prefers humming or whistling as she works on projects.
