INFORMATION: One of the Aesir goddesses. The daughter of the giant Thiassi and consort of the god Njord. By tradition she lives apart from her husband, he preferring the coast and she the mountains. She is described as "ski lady", a huntress who travels on skis and hunts game with a bow. She is constantly at odds with the god Loki and on one occasion, when he had been captured and held down with stones, she tried to poison him by suspending a poisonous snake over his face. Loki's consort Sigyn saved him by collecting the venom in a bowl.
