Hel
Hel
The daughter of Loki and the female giant Angrboða, Hel was confined to Niflheim by the gods. They cast her in the underworld, into which she distributes those who are sent to her; the wicked and those who died of sickness or old age. She appears as a Frail woman whose body is fair and lovely on one side, but dead and rotting on the other. Despite her hideous appearance, she is the least monstrous of Loki's three children from
this union (the other two are Fenrir the wolf and Jormungandr the World Serpent). Hel is rather greedy, harsh, and cruel, or at least indifferent to the concerns of both the living and the dead.
