About

Loki is the most unpredictable figure in Norse mythology—a shape-shifting trickster who is both friend and foe to the gods. Neither fully Aesir nor giant, he walks between worlds, bound by his own inscrutable motives.

His cunning mind has both helped and hindered the gods countless times. He retrieved Thor's hammer, created magical gifts for the gods, but also caused Baldur's death and fathered monsters including Fenrir the wolf, Jörmungandr the world serpent, and Hel, ruler of the dead.

Loki embodies the chaos necessary for change and growth, but also the destruction that comes from unchecked mischief. At Ragnarök, he will lead the forces of chaos against the gods, yet without him, many of the gods' greatest treasures would never exist.

Famous Story

When the gods needed a wall built around Asgard, Loki suggested hiring a giant who demanded the sun, moon, and Freya as payment. To prevent this, Loki transformed into a mare to distract the giant's stallion—and later gave birth to Sleipnir, Odin's eight-legged horse.

If You Match

Your features carry Loki's mercurial charm. There is a quicksilver quality to your appearance—sharp, clever, and impossible to pin down. Your face speaks of one who sees possibilities others miss and walks their own unpredictable path.
