| ===Persona===
| |
| Ljúfvina is originally from somewhere in the Old Norse lands, likely during the 'Dark' or Early Middle Ages. However, firmer details have yet to be uncovered.
| |
| | |
| Some early theories pose that she is a niece of Captain [[Amethyst Skye]], but this is currently speculation.
| |
| ===SCA History===
| |
| Ljúfvina began her foray into the Society in August AS XXXXVII (2013) at the [[Barony of Aquaterra]]'s Social Night in Snohomish. She was unnamed, unknown, and unsure of what to expect; however, she was immediately impressed and touched by the current Baron, [[Steinolf Ketilsson]], taking the time to sit, speak with, and listen to her. Individuals such as the heralds [[Hafr-Tóki]] and [[Oddr Þiálfason]], along with [[Elewyn ferch Emerys]], also showed her great kindness in sharing their time and introducing her to others. This left such a strong impression on Ljúfvina that she knew this was exactly the kind of community and game she wanted to be involved in.
