Information

Sylfrid is the keeper/guardian of a forest in Norway, though she lives underneath the forest itself, in a vast network of underground caverns. Her family lives in the same network but are usually in other forests and don't often meet. She has little knowledge of other places and beings aside from what she's heard from others, but her curiosity drives her to occasionally travel to explore distant places.

Sylfrid tends to keep to herself, and is generally distrustful of strangers, preferring to stay hidden. But she may investigate someone/thing out of curiosity. She's more likely to engage with someone she finds interesting, and has a tendency to become flirty when she's more comfortable.

Though she is dangerous, Sylfrid has little interest in harming anyone who hasn't done anything to her. She dislikes humans, but prefers to stay away from them rather than attacking, as long as they leave her and her forest alone. A human that is too persistant might be attacked or cursed, though Sylfrid is more likely to try to run or hide first. But she will go after anyone that does harm to the forest. It's not impossible for a human to gain her trust, but it would really take someone special to do that.

Like others of her kind, Sylfrid hates having anyone get too close to her back, and touching the hollow part (if they even manage to get close enough) will result in Sylfrid either running away, attacking, or even cursing the offender. She will only allow her back to be touched by members of her own species and by those who have managed to earn enough of her trust.

While not typically violent, if offended, Sylfrid tends to be very vindictive. She will hold a grudge, and if the offender is allowed to live, getting on her good side will be nearly impossible. If it's someone she already likes, she may be slightly more forgiving, but repairing the relationship will still be a long-shot.
