Sorcery
The elves of Alfheim are, essentially, the embodiment, of magic. The very power incarnate. It is something they are born with and taught to use in the same manner that they are taught to walk and speak. While most sub-races are more adept, as adults, in one aspect of it more than the others, every part of it can be used by them. The only ones who don’t tend to ‘focus’ and can use all their magic to it’s total strength and full potential are the Light Elves, such as the Ruling family, the originals that all sub-races branched off from. There are very few throughout the cosmos that can rival the Alfheim elves in magic prowess and strength. Sigyn is a shining example of this. There is very little that she can’t do with magic and even at her young age, she’s exceptionally powerful.
Natural Connections
The elves of Alfheim have an innate connection to nature. To the energy and life that flows through all living things be it people, animal, plant or other. This connection is far deeper for some than it is others and for Sigyn, it’s an intricate part of who she is. While it has it’s down side, certainly, given that she ‘feels the pain of the world’ more sharply, it is also a huge boon in that it allows her to make a connection with and often tame aspects and creatures of the world that others would not be able. This especially comes in handy when dealing with enraged or wild animals. This is could be compared to Empathy but it is that and so much more.
Physiology
They’re are many physical benefits that come with being an elf. Their agility, balance, reflexes, litheness, heightened senses and speed is practically unparalleled unless ones DNA has been altered on some level. On top of this is their immunity to illnesses, their exceptionally slow aging, their ability to barely, if at all, make a sound when they move and their almost ethereal grace and beauty. Of course, the downside to this all is that it very clearly set them apart from almost every other race and makes it easy to figure out that they are ‘different’.
Constant Shields
With learning magic came learning to shield her mind from intrusion or manipulation. Between her intense training and her own willpower, her shields are all but impenetrable unless she allows it.
Drawing Energy
This is a skill honed to perfection in all Alftar from the time they are babies. Drawing on energy, whether it be personal, dimensional, interdimensional, from artifacts or what have you, this is what allows them to work the magic that is innate to their races. Due to their connection to all natural energies, inter dimensional or otherwise, they seem to have a limitless source to drawn from and manipulate. Some are more proficient at this than others and Sigyn has mastered it, being able to draw on multiple types of energy as easily as she breathes.
Combat
Sigyn hates fighting with any sort of weapon. It’s barbaric and messy as far as she is concerned. That said, it was a requirement as she was growing that she learn to use some weapons on the off chance that someone ever found a way to disable her magic. Because of this, Sigyn is more than capable of using a sword a bow and even a Staff. For her, they are last resort items however. Even if she does carry a pair of daggers on her. Just in case.
Intelligence
Sigyn an exceptionally intelligent woman. What she doesn't know, she can learn very quickly. Her mind moves at a very quick rate which allows her to process information fast and think on multiple streams at once.
Royal Training
Not only is Sigyn of royal blood but she is the one who will one day unite realms and sit on a throne. She has been trained in all things that this will demand of her, as well as given the very best ‘traditional’ education paired with the teachings of being a proper Lady. Because of all this, Sigyn has mastered a myriad of instruments, dances, has a voice that has been trained as one of the very best even among her people, education in sciences, mathematics, history, magic, politics, war, etiquette, sewing, needlework, word play, body language reading, persuasion, and many other areas that are needed for the position she will one day hold.
Alfheim
Sigyn is the crown Princess of Alfheim. She will one day take a throne and rule. For now, she has all the riches, forces and knowledge of Alfheim available at her fingertips. Funds are not an issue for her and if all else fails, if she cannot remain on Midgard or simply needs something replenished, she can always return home.
Portal Pendant
This is a small, unobtrusive pendant with an brilliant emerald set into it that has been enchanted to open a portal to Alfheim, or any other realm Sigyn wishes, with a mere thought. She is the only one who can use it and should it be taken from her, she is stranded on whatever Realm she is on unless they have the means of getting her home.
Immortal
Alftar are effectively immortal. They age at such an exceptionally slow rate that it seems as if they don’t. They are immune to all diseases and heal at a very quick rate. All that said, they can be killed is, say, they’re head is removed or their heart is pierced, etc. They are not invulnerable to physical harm after all.
Demeanor
Sigyn is a warm, sweet, caring and gentle woman with a heart of gold who hates to see others in pain or suffering in any manner. A healer by nature. She will go to great lengths to ease such things when she can. This often inspires trust in other beings, be it person or animal. It can make her easy to approach, to talk to and confide in.
Appearance
The epitomy of grace, exquisite ethereal beauty, and elegance. Sigyn is what most would consider beyond absolutely gorgeous. This works to her benefit quite often, allowing her to coax information from others when they may otherwise be reluctant to discuss such matters. It’s not just physical beauty though but an inner beauty that seems to radiate outwards as well.
Willpower
A royal elf’s thousands of years old, who has been taught to steel her will in order to control her magic, to rule and to fight properly as well as her own innate stubbornness and confidence makes it almost impossible to get Sigyn to bend in a way she would not choose to.
Musical Hearing
It’s pretty much impossible to lie to Sigyn or hide your feelings from her. Like all her race, she can hear the ‘musical’ notes and tones that are present in practically every natural voice which fluctuate with each emotion and when lies are being told. The ability to hear tones and ‘music’ that well is also what allows her to play instruments perfectly and sing beyond compare. The tiniest waver is picked up on by the elven Goddess.
Soul Twine
This is something Sigyn can only ever do once, in any life time. She, like all her race, have the ability to share and twine their soul with one other single being, effectively making them soul mates in every sense of the word. In doing this, she will impart part of her own energy to them as well as creating a permanent telepathic and empathic bond where no part of the mind or soul can be hidden from one another.
Limited Telepathy
While Sigyn cannot, without the aid of magic anyhow, send and receive thoughts with just anyone, all Alftar have the ability to communicate telepathically with other elves.
Nature
Sigyn is a warm, sweet, caring and gentle woman with a heart of gold who hates to see others in pain or suffering in any manner. A healer by nature. She will go to great lengths to ease such things when she can. This can often be exploited and used as an attempt to manipulate her.
Known
In her younger days, during the times of vikings and when magic was still abundant, Sigyn would often visit Midgard. She became very well known then though some facts were gotten wrong. It doesn’t change the fact that her image was recorded more than once and she was made into the Norse Goddess of Beauty, Love, Fertility, Loyalty and Devotion from Asgard. In all these time, her looks have not changed and she still uses her own name. It makes her easily recognized though whether it inspires awe or people believe she is mentally ill, or lying… It’s hard to tell which reaction she’ll get. None of them work in her favor.
Royalty
Being the Crown Princess of Alfheim paints a very large target on Sigyn’s back for those who know who and what she is. Being away from her own Realm makes her even more vulnerable and open to the attacks of Alfheim’s enemies. Some of which are not above hunting her down.
Illiterate
While Sigyn is a very learned young woman, well educated and highly intelligent, she is only capable of speaking most languages. She cannot read nor write in anything beyond those languages found in Vanaheim, Asgard, Alfheim and those that are related to them in one manner or another such as ancient norse runic.
Looks
If one looks closely at Sigyn, and most tend to thanks to the ethereal beauty, they’ll notice that something, or some things, seem a bit off. Her eyes are shaped unlike any humans, her ears are a bit too long and come to a faintly rounded point, her features look contoured even though there’s clearly no makeup doing so… As exquisite as she is, she clearly isn’t human which has the potential to become quite problematic.
Displaced
Sigyn is wholly unfamiliar with Midgard. She hasn’t been to the Realm in centuries and while she is remembered through pictures, in myths and legends, the Realm has changed a great deal since her last time here and she finds herself wholly uncertain of how to proceed, how things work, the current laws, politics and the like. Needless to say, this could make her life during her stay there more than a little difficult without some help.
Guarded
No matter where she goes, Sigyn has guards with her. This draws more than a little attention to her and could make her an even bigger target than she already is. It can also lead to a lot of potentially disastrous misunderstandings. Especially to those who don’t understand where she is from and how the guards will react to certain things.
