Eldest daughter of Ketil the Stout of Groenholt. She is an ambitious woman who is often impatient with her jovial father and mother and her cousins. She can talk circles around nearly everyone in her household and is used to getting her own way. Her beauty is much admired by men. She has refused several offers for her hand, earning her something of a reputation for being aloof and proud. Among the other women of the household, she is generous with her possessions, pleasant and charming, works hard at weaving, cooking, and helping with the children; she has built up a fair reputation as a notable housewife. Only those who cross her or fail to defer to her get a glimpse of the cold, calculating mind she is usually careful to hide in a cloak of femininity - the sharp and ruthless steel behind her smiling beauty.
