Sylfrid

[Note: Sylfrid is not meant to be an accurate representation of the mythology/folklore she is based on.]

Sylfrid  is a huldra, a being from Scandinavian mythology which, in some cases,  is described as looking like a beautiful woman but with a hollow back  like an old tree trunk, and a cow-like or fox-like tail. They can either  be benign or malignant, some helping humans while others act more like a  siren, luring men to their doom. Sylfrid is the latter sort. With her  glamour, she can make herself irresistible, and is dangerous to those  that get on her bad side.

Glamour

Huldra  can be considered a type of fae, and like many fae, Sylfrid possesses  the power of glamour. It can be used to make herself irresistible.  Similar to a siren, Sylfrid can lure people to their deaths by using her  glamour. She can also make them do her bidding, as a willing, yet  mindless, slave. She can also use this power to cause insanity. This  power, along with her supernatural strength, makes her dangerous to  anyone who gets on her bad side, although she doesn't like to use it  much (this will only be used on characters that I have the player's  permission from).

Other Abilities

• Strength. Huldra are said to be able to straighten a horseshoe.
• Semi-prehensile tail. She can't grab things with her tail, but she can move it in ways most animals can't.

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.
