Lady Sif

"I am the Lady Sif, born a Goddess and forged a Warrior. I was baptized in the tears of mine enemies and their children's children fear my name. I am rock and wheat and fire and ash and in My Lord Thor, I am promised to the sky."

Information
Background= ''Sif was born the Goddess Princess of Vanaheim with the name Sibba. Her early years were spent as one might expect of a Princess. She learned manners, courtly etiquette, music, dance, politics, reading and writing… All things that would one day hl her rule. Or make her a desirable bride. However, she was a very strong willed and stubborn child who more often than not could be found sneaking out to the arena and watching the warriors practice then mimicking the moves herself later. She was a beautiful child with silver-blue eyes and hair as soft as satin and as golden as the sun. She grew into a gorgeous young woman who became known for her beauty and the beauty of hair. To the point that it became her one vanity.''

''It was when she was very young that she was sent to reside in Asgard in hopes that showing her how a warrior must train would dissuade her from becoming one. However, this plan backfired. Once there, she began taking lessons in secret from a few of the guardsmen.''

''Odin seemed unsurprised, her father amused, Thor who had become a friend supported and encouraged her but the rest… The rest objected greatly. While she had made friends with both Princes, she and Thor had always been closer than she and Loki. The young Goddess struggled to prove she could be a warrior as great as any male and that her royal lineage was no reason to treat her differently.''

''Eventually, after many years of struggling in Asgard, Sif left to join the Valkyrior with the promise that she'd return as the best any of them had ever seen. For many many years, Sif stayed with Valkyrior and trained, practicing constantly. She pushed herself harder than ever before. Rarely did she return to the main city though there were a few times here and there that she visited.''

''During those visits, she and Thor became much closer. It's also during one of those visits that Loki snuck into her room in the Palace and sheered off her golden locks. Sif was devastated, of course. Her one vanity had been ripped from her in a fit of jealousy. Thor forced Loki to replace the locks that he took from he Goddess and the wig he brought back after visiting the dwarves seemed as if it would work, spun from gold itself. However, when Sif put the wig on, it became real hair and turned black as night. Despite Thor's reassurance that she was more beautiful with her raven locks, that they stood out and made her exotic, she was heartbroken and her hair would forever be a touchy subject with the Goddess.''

''After that, she returned to the Valkyrior and stayed there. Only once she had finished her training, hundreds of years later, did she return to Asgard. By then, she had been in many many battles with her 'sisters' and had proven time and time again, she truly was the best. There was no cold weapon or ranged weapon sans a battle hammer that she could not use and the only one in Asgard that was capable of best her with a sword was Brunnhilde herself.''

''Now, a full fledged Valkyrior, she returned to Asgard. Reunited with Thor, she stood as his Sword Maiden… His Valkyrior… And the Shield Maiden of Asgard. She became fast friends with the Warrior's Three.''

''Sif was never like the regular 'Court Ladies'. She had found a balance of both woman and warrior. Over the years, she has earned the respect of the Army of Asgard, her fellow Vanir, Gods and Goddess and earned her place as the Goddess of War.''

 * -|Notes=

The Sheet
Powers= Teleport | Champion | ''Part of her birthright as a Vanir, Sif is able to teleport to anywhere or anyone. This ability is mostly used on the world she's on because she has her sword to open portals between realms but, in an emergency, Sif can teleport herself and those she can touch between the realms as well. It is draining on her however because of the distance. Her teleportation is quick, as fast as thought or the time it takes someone to blink. Here it would seem, at least for now, she cannot teleport to the Realms she is familiar with. It as if someone or something is interfering with her ability.''

Speed | Advanced | ''No speedster to be sure, Sif still runs faster than the average human. And the average Asgardian. Her top speed maxes out around 75 mph.''

Intellect | Superior | ''Sif is a very intelligent woman and what she doesn't know can be learned very quickly. Her mind moves at a very quick rate which allows her to process information fast and make on the spot decisions easily. It is one of the reasons that she is, aside from the All-Father himself, the best tactician and strategist in Asgard.''

Density | Superior | ''Being an Asgardian makes Sif's body much harder to damage. She can withstand things such as high energy blasts, extreme temperatures, explosions, extreme depths and extreme force. Her tissue being so dense makes her very difficult to hurt but it's not impossible. She's also far heavy than one might guess simply by looking at her.''

Stamina | Superior | Being Asgardian means that Sif never really __needs__ to sleep, eat or drink and perform at peak performance for weeks on end before she every even starts to tire.

Healing | Superior | ''Despite it all, the 'goddess' can be hurt though her body regenerates much quicker than any humans. Gashes and punctures can take only hours. Broken bones? Mere days.''

Agility | Champion | Sif was born with a natural grace, flexibility and sense of balance that far exceeded most others, making her very agile and allows her to easily and quickly move and shift her body as needed.

Immortal | Champion | ''Sif is a Goddess and as such immortal. However, where the Greeks have Ambrosia, the Norse Gods and Goddesses have the Golden Apples of Idunn. In order to stay at peak condition, they must ingest an apple at least once a month. These apples also help heal them faster if need be. If they quit eating them, they will begin to age and fall into a deep, coma like sleep but never fully die.''

Portals of Brumeoafold | Champion | ''A sword forged of the same material as Mjolnir and enchanted by Odin himself, Brumeoalfold has the ability to open portals between various realms. This is done through a series of intricate swings of the blade. The portal will stay open until Sif herself steps through it. The portal will stay open until Sif herself steps through it. The portal will stay open until Sif herself steps through it.''

Strength | Superior | While most Asgardian females max out their strength at 25 tons, Sif can lift a little over 30 tons and hits with just as much force.

Willpower | Master | ''Thousands of years old... The Goddess of War who has earned the title over and over again... A Valkyrie... A sorcerer for a friend who has taught her to shield herself mentally... A woman who has steeled her own will... It is **almost** impossible to get Sif to bend in a way she would not choose to.''
 * -|Skills=

Cold Weapons | Master | ''A cold weapon is a way of referring to any weapon that does not involve fire or explosions (such as the act of combustion) as a result from the use of gunpowder or other explosive materials. Ranged weapons that do not include gunpowder or explosive materials and melee weapons are cold weapons. In these weapons, Sif has spent thousands of years training with these various weapons and mastering them on the battlefield.''

Sorcery | Latent | The character has the ability to learn sorcery but as of yet is unaware of it.

Riding | Master | There's very little, if anything, Sif can't do from the back of a horse.

Dancing | Exceptional | ''Despite being a Warrior, she is also a Lady and as such has been taught various forms of dancing. Her time on Midgard allowed her to accquire several more. Like her instruments and her singing, dancing is one of Sif's passions and something she does every chance she gets. Over thousands of years, she's had __plenty__ of practice.''

Archery* | Master | ''Once a Valkyrie and a Warrior with thousands of years of battles under her belt, Sif is a Master with a bow. She rarely misses and if she does, there's a chance it was on purpose. Few can best her.'' --- Sense | Master | ''Thousands of years of training and wars... Hundred of thousands of battles... All five of Sif's senses as well as her perception has been honed to well above that of normal warrior's, to the point of being supernatural.''

Instruments | Master | ''Sif is an expert with the Harp and the Flute and while she's very talented in many other instruments, she hasn't yet mastered them. There isn't, however, any instrument she can't learn.''

Singing | Master | Gifted with a beautiful singing voice that has graced the Halls of Odin's palace more than once, her range varies which makes her capable of singing a wide array of songs in various styles.

Hand to Hand | Master | ''It never pays to rely on having a weapon on hand and because of that, Sif made sure to learn hand to hand combat as well. Like the sword, she excelled in her combat training and has since, over her thousands of years of life, used it more than once. It's something she practices daily, like her use of various weapons, so that her skill does not fade.''

Brumeoalfold | Galactic | ''Sif’s sword. Between the material it's made from and the enchantment from the All-Father, Sif's sword is all but indestructible and the blade, both the main one and the secondary hidden within, never dulls.''
 * -|Resources=

Nine Realms | Galactic | ''As the Princess of Vanaheim, its defender and the one who will one day rule (Whether it be from Vanaheim itself or in a different realm due to marriage), the Goddess of War and the Shield of Asgard, Sif has access to all of the Nine Realms. The welcome in a few is likely to be less than friendly while in others, there’s nothing she doesn’t have access to.''

Illness | As long as Sif eats a Golden Apple every one in a while, she is immune to all illness and disease
 * -|Pros=

Royalty | ''From a young age, Sif knew she would one day rule Vanaheim and as such, has been taught in all that being Queen entails. Politics, manners, etiquette, hospitality, wit, word play, etc.''

Comrades | ''Thor, the Warrior’s Three, Heimdall (Perhaps even Loki) and the warriors of Asgard and Vanaheim... All are people Sif knows she can count on and call on if she were ever in trouble. Some more than others.''

Loyalty | ''As much a flaw as it is an advantage, the best way to manipulate Sif is to use her loyalty against her. There is little to nothing she wouldn’t do for those she cares about or those in her care.''
 * -|Cons=

Temper | ''She has one! For the most part, Sif can control her temper but if the right buttons are pushed, it’ll snap and she doesn’t think quite as clearly as she should, making rash decision.''

Vanir Born | ''Despite being a Warrior and Goddess of Asgard, Sif was actually born in Vanaheim. The Vanir, while a sister race of the Aesir, do not have some of the abilities of the Aesir Royalty. Most notably, is the All-Tongue. Sif has to learn various languages rather than automatically knowing them. She fluently speaks all of the Nordic languages, Vanir, Aesir, Latin and American-English. That, however, is the extent of what she knows. This could potentially cause serious problems due to miscommunications.''

Madness | ''To lose oneself completely in battlerage is a severe crime within Asgard. Punishable by banishment at the very least. Sif is the Goddess of War and as such, is always at risk of allowing her instincts on the field to overtake her and make her go too far as the Warrior’s Madness swallows her. It’s a very fine line that she walks.''

Relationships
Personal= Thor | Beyond Complicated | ''What do you say about a man who are madly in love with but can't bring yourself to admit it? Thor is Sif's best friend. The one she trusts, above all others, with her life. They have learned to move in perfect sync with one another in almost everything. He grounds and centers her yet keeps her laughing and playful. The balance between warrior and woman. There is no one Sif has more faith in, admiration of or respect for than Thor.''

Torunn | Daughter | ''Torunn is her daughter with Thor but from a different reality or dimension. To say Sif was shocked to find out she had a daughter with Thor, or at all for that matter!, would be an understatement. Despite that, she feels an every growing warmth and love for the young girl, seeing much of herself and Thor in her. ...The poor child...''

Loki | Who Knows | /''nce one of her best friends, as they grew and dynamics shifted, she and Loki drifted apart. He's still a friend and she'd do almost anything for him but they aren't as close as they once were.''

Heimdall | Brother | ''The Guardian of the Bifrost. Heimdall doesn't talk much to most people but he and his sister are very close and always there for one another even if they rarely let it show outwardly.''

Hogun | Complicated | ''The man who trained the Goddess of War. -- So few understand Hogun. Less can communicate with him. Sif's one of those ones who can do both and it has bread a unique relationship and a great amount of trust between them.''

Odin | Her King | There are few who command more respect and loyalty from Sif than Odin Allfather.
 * -|Allies=

Frigga | Her Queen | Lady Frigga is someone who Sif respects greatly and while they may have their disagreement on what it means to be a 'lady', Sif often turns to Frigga when she needs a mother figure.

Volstagg | Brother In Arms & Friend | ''Volstagg is... A brother, a father, a friend... Someone she knows she can confide in and even if he doesn't know what to say, he'll listen.''


 * [pc:Fandral]** | Brother In Arms & Friend | Fandral the ... Well, Sif wouldn't call him dashing but to each their own. He's a skilled swordsman and one of her dear friends. She trusts him with her life. He's one of the few she'll confide in. Whether she takes any advice he offers depends on if the solution is something other than 'make out with it'.
