Name: Rita Lynghale.
Age: Around... 18?
DoB: May 31st.
Race: Hulder, follows Norwegian legends where they have cow tails.
Ethnicity: Norwegian.
Birthplace: Outside of Troms. Just imagine a lot of mountains. And trees.
Current home: On the current boarder of Sweden and Norway. Of course; those countries don't exist yet. XD
Place in time: 900 to 1050. No need to keep it 100% realistic though.
Family members: Linda (mother) - Rita and Linda don't get along, but they don't fight either. Linda gave Rita her current territory, so that they wouldn't fight over it later. She sometimes visits her daughter around the winter celebrations, but that is just formalities. Tora (older sister) - these two can barely look at each other without flashing their teeth. Tora originally wanted Rita's territory, is quiet bitter over the fact that she got it first. She's just waiting for her to drop her guard, so she can steal it. Snøfrid (younger sister) - She's yet to leave her mother, but she is planning on it soon. She and Rita get along, although they don't talk much. Tore (older brother) - they talk every once in a while. He has gained a complete human form, which Rita finds somewhat disgusting though she keeps it to herself.
Other friends/pets: Storm (a nøkk) - he's usually in a shape of a white pony and trot around the lake eating small rodents and plants. He was actually hoping to find a mate in Rita's area, but failing to do so, he just decided to stay and enjoy himself. He often misbehaves, attempting to drown locals and travelers, much to Rita's distress. They're very good friends though, and Rita treats him as a sort of pet. He loves teasing and will do mischief if he gets the chance. Like Rita, he cares very little for humans. He doesn't seem to have any soft spots that stand out. He does a have a human form; a hide made from a corpse, then enchanted. As a human he has pale skin, blonde white hair and black eyes. The area around his eyes is stained for some reason. Ref.
Bio: Rita grew up like most hulders do; she was raised by her parents and siblings till she was 14 years of age, and left the nest. Rita had a better kick-off then most, as her mother Linda gave her a territory of her own, so that she didn't have to battle for one. As a child, her family moved about restlessly to avoid being hunted down. Hulders aren't exactly popular among humans. Rita has been continuously battled them since she left her family, leaving her with a strong hate towards man and strangers. She's still protecting her home, although times are getting rougher and rougher.

Hair: Bright red, knee length, curly. Often kept in a tight braid.
Eyes: Bright green.
Body: Curvy, not very slim, but quiet powerful. Fair skin, no moles or imperfections.
Clothing: No clothing what so ever.
Notable features: Hallow back, cows tail.

Personality and general about: Sort of introverted, but not shy. Rita can socialize just fine, but she doesn't feel the need for it. It's very common for hulders to seduce men of all kinds, but Rita's lack of interest for contact has left her with absolutely no interest (currently anyway) in breeding or marrying. She's not very empathic either, as she cares more about her own survival then others. She's rather skeptic of new things, and doesn't like doing things without a plan. Oddly enough, she has a weak spot for children and horses. She doesn't interact with them very much though if she has the chance. She prefers to just watch. Rita is very protective of things and people she likes, and will fight to her death to make sure they're not harmed. Even if she stands no chance. Rita will not take a liking to a person right away. It might take a whole year before she's able to consider you a friend. She'll not stand up for someone she's known for just a few months, even if they have a lot in common. 'You're on your own buddy. Ain't my problem'. Rita relies a lot on her cunning nature, as she's not nearly as powerful as her older siblings. She's not very prideful, and is more then willing to use dirty tricks and cheat to win. Heck, that might be what she's most proud of. She loves ironic and sarcastic humor, and if you're able to get her to laugh, she'll not able to stop until she's tired out. If she gets a real bad case of laughter, she'll roll on the ground and become unable to move. She'll also point and laugh, if someone does something stupid.
