Svanhildr

little goat lady, gentle and quiet. acolyte of a religion currently being rebuilt. tends the grounds of an old abbey/temple in the mountains and sells jars of lingonberry jam to the local village. a rather melancholic soul, she is often yearning after something or another and pondering on her position in life. her desire to travel often comes into conflict with her loyalty to her abbey, to which she owes a lot. seemingly a model acolyte but secretly reads a lot of romance novels when she's meant to be studying scripture. has a real soft spot for brooding bad boy characters, which she is very embarrassed about. 

• her lantern staff is both ceremonial and emblematic of her vows as a spirit guide, as well as being practical for identifying her as an acolyte and lighting the way home during long winter nights.
• lives in a mountainous, wooded region inspired a lot by wales and old forests
