Personal history
Sigrid Hulgdotter grew up in the northern hinterlands in Manadh and Hakkak, high in the snowy mountains of the Spine. Her clan, the Raven Clan, are a nomadic clan that use the ocean and icy rivers as their personal highway with their longboats.
Sigrid and Eivor lost their mother at a young age. Their father raised them in between raiding for the clan, but would often be gone for months at a time throughout their youth. Sigrid and her brother were unofficially adopted and raised by the clan seer, Brodil Grodundotter, during these times of absence. To this day, Sigrid still sees Brodil as a mother figure.
The siblings both grew with a strong faith in the pantheon of gods of the Northern Hinterland clans. Sigrid is sure that Brodil was hoping they would carry the Seer's mantel. When Sigrid had reached her 16th winter, their father was killed by one of the Blood Giants while coming back from a raid. Sigrid has always felt the responsibility of her people for ridding the world of the Blood Giants after that.
Growing up as a shieldmaiden in the Northern Hinterlands is not always easy, but it certainly is better with allies. The Raven Clan is known to be close, even amongst those who don't get along. Sigrid's closet friend in the clan is Randi Ingadotter, a boat maker and wood carver of the clan, who she has known her entire life. She is also good friends with Grom Birgerson, the son of the clan's jarl for most of her life, berserker, and champion mead drinker.
When brother had gone a viking and not returned, Sigrid set out from her clan's territory to go find him or see if he resided in Valhalla's halls. On the way she befriended Veture, a sorcerer who might be Loki in disguise, filled with wild magic. Together the met the Fucking A Team and learned of Eivor's fate. Determined to finish her brother's quest, to find a weapon powerful enough to defeat the Blood Giants, Sigrind and Veture joined the group.

Like most clans in the region, the Raven Clan is very superstitious and deeply devote to their pantheon of gods, Sigrid is no exception. She often looks for Omens in the world, especially after Odin appeared to her and told her she was needed to lead her people, giving her Gungnir and the use of his ravens.
While many of the gods in the clans have different names then the rest of the continent, they are the same. Thor (Cayden Cailean), Odin (Gorum), Baldur (Sarenrae), Fenrir (Rovagug), Bragi & Freya (Shelyn), Freyr (Erastil), Heimdall (Abadar), Hel (Pharsma), Hönir (Kurgess), Hugin and Munin (Baphomet), Jormungand (Gozreh), Lodurr (Asmodeus), Loki (Norgerber), Ran (Besmara), Surtr (Zyphus), Tyr (Trudd), Uller (Ketephys), Vidar (Calistra) Mitnot, and Gub Lin.

Speech
Sigrid's accent of one of the Northern Hinterland Clans is apparent to anyone from Manadh. She often speaks of deeds in the manner of which most would hear myths and sagas, even the most mundane events, though she never falsifies the tale. She would for instance reference the dire winter wolves she fought as "offspring of Fenrir" or the adventuring party as "holumenn" or "raiding crew".
Relationships
History
The two friends met after Vetur caused an avalanche that buried Sigrid. After unburying the norse, Vetur invited Sigrid back to their village for some warming "tea" as an apology. The two hit it off and Vetur left with Sigrid, being encouraged to leave from her village as soon as possible.
History
Sigrid often looked up to her reckless hotblooded brother and remained close to him throughout his life.
History
Eivor brought home Breeze, a skald skilled in sagas great, for the winter's coldest depth in 3989. Sigrid tried to help toughen Breeze up, but the skald spent the months glued to the fireside. When Sigrid came in search of her brother a year later, it was Breeze that informed her of Eivor's passage to Valhalla. Sigrid makes a point to look after the young skald, knowing how important she was to Eivor.
Nicknames & Petnames
Sigrid will often call Breeze "Little Skald" as she was used to her brother referring to the bard as such.
