**Laufey**, also called **Nál**, is the Goddess of the Wilderness from Norse Mythology. She is the eldest daughter of Louhi, the wife of Fárbauti, and the mother of Loki, Helblindi, and Býleistr. Through her marriage with Fárbauti, she is the Queen of Jötunheimr and mistress of the Frost and Mountain Jötnar.

Following her capture after the Battle of Sydney, she was imprisoned within the Kokytus Prison.

## Overview: **Laufey**

**Laufey** or **Nál** is a figure in Norse mythology and the mother of Loki. The latter is frequently mentioned by the matronymic *Loki Laufeyjarson* (Old Norse: 'Loki Laufey's son') in Eddic poetry, rather than the expected traditional patronymic Loki *Fárbautason* ('son of Fárbauti'), in a mythology where kinship is usually reckoned through male ancestry.

## Appearance

Laufey is described to be a woman whose beauty matches her deadliness. She is tall, thin and nimble, with long legs and small breasts. As a hybrid, she possesses blood-red eyes and blue-tinted skin much like ordinary Frost Jötnar, with her long black hair inherited from her mother Louhi.

### Clothes & Attires

Like a Frost Jötunn hybrid. Laufey has a natural resistance toward the freezing climate of north Jötunheimr and as such, wears very little clothes to protect her from the cold. According to Spider-Man, her clothes were so revealing that "they follow anime physics".

### Alternative Forms

Laufey first appeared before the Avengers as a beautiful older woman, a "retired Hollywood actress but still retaining her womanly charms". She has long dark-brown hair falling down her back in effortless curls, emerald-green eyes, ample bossoms, and a knowing smirk always on her face.

In Asgardian anti-Jötnar propaganda, she appeared as an extremely tall and muscular woman, with ice spikes for hair, boar tusks, and the occasional beard made out of frost-covered pine needles. According to many Asgardians, she's not a woman but "a man hiding his cock within his asshole".

## Personality

Widely-regarded as the parent from whom Loki inherited most of their traits, Laufey is sly, cunning, cruel, and manipulative, being considered by many - even Fárbauti himself - to be the true power behind her husband's authority as the King of Jötunheimr.

She is cold and scheming, and treats everyone around her as pawns to further her plan of destruction. Being considered to be the cruelest of her mother's children, Laufey undoubtedly inherited Louhi's twisted intellect and controlling manners. Not even her children are safe from her manipulation, as shown when Býleistr told Loki that he was lucky to be taken in by Odin and Frigga, since he had never had the misfortune of living under Laufey's control.

She is dangerous and sadistic, with a twisted sense of humor that borderlines sociopathic tendencies. She enjoys fighting and bloodshed, revels in it even, as many of Jötunheimr's old conquests of other realms were the result of Laufey satisfying her bloodlust. On the battlefield, she is a true monster with a craving for death and destruction, leaving a trail of corpses behind her wherever she goes.

Despite this, she could be kind if she wants to, though it's unclear if this is her true nature or just a mask she put on to fool others. At times, she even helped those in need without any personal benefit to gain from the action. She also honors oaths and promises, stating that death is preferable to the shame of not being able to keep one's oath.

## Equipment

**Casket of Ancient Winters**: Laufey is the creator and original wielder of the Casket of Ancient Winters. It was created using a mummified body part of Bláinn Fifelvetr, the creator of the Jötnar-kind and the most powerful wielder of Absolute Demise. It has the power to unleash an infinite, blizzard-like cold that would freeze anything in its path, capable of enveloping Earth into a new glacial period.

## Trivia

* Her name "Laufey" possibly means "leaves, foliage, or the leafy".
* Due to propaganda, most Asgardians thought Laufey is a male Jötunn.
