Personal Information
Appearance
She is quite tall and strikingly thin, at high humanity it would be easy to imagine she would have been quite striking but such things are now a distant memory. Her eyes are milk white and shimmer like pearls, the skin around them is cracked and broken thicker and darker then the pale translucent skin which covers the rest of her body there is a slight goldish tinge it appears almost like she has ... scales. Her hair is long, reach past her shoulders and pale blonde almost white, sometimes it will be braided back, often this indicates that she is preparing for a ritual.
She wears a delicate white dress made from fine linen a small black pouch hangs at her throat this contains a number of items of mystical significance, small bones,candle stubs,a vial of blood and another of ash. She is often seen wearing a black and white cloak clasped with a bronze Norse style broach and a second leather bag hangs from a belt at her waist it contains the runes she often works with. She wears simple slip on shoes when she must or none at all if she is familiar with her surroundings and can get away with it. She almost always bears markings in vitae somewhere on her body the bindings for the mothers rituals.
A large and powerfully muscled brown, drop eared dog accompanies her when she ventures outside of her haven ((Those with academics or animal ken may recognize it as a fine example of the Broholmer Breed))it often bears a hand print of blood on its brow.
Personality
A Child and a mother she walks the line between the two worlds. To the world at large she is a mystic and mysterious figure dressed like a ghost she moves with find grace and brings uncertainty and suspicion in her wake. She enjoys the company of the young and freshly embraced she treats them all like her own children and their presence always brings her great joy, she does not however often engage them in conversation on important matters as she does the older court members, with whom discussions of faith and arguments on feeding practices flow freely. She is biased against those of the Lancea et Sanctum and interactions with those who openly profess their membership are often far more stiff and uncomfortable.
She enjoys a good story and friendship can be kindled easily if one can weave a good tale, whilst sometimes crude the general kindred of court only ever really see the wise and motherly parts of her nature.
Those who take the time to befriend and assist her, who prove their loyalty and steadfastness are greeted to interaction with a very different kindred away from the court. A child like soul who revels in practical jokes and childish tricks. Who will laughs freely and dances for fun a kind soul who adores animals and is always amazed by the creation of new life. The tender love between her and her family is a sight to behold and there is a quiet fierceness and protectiveness in her actions which bespeaks an individual who would unflinchingly wade through the fire to ensure the safety of those she cares for.
Mortal World
Little is known of her by the mortal world, the price she pays for the mothers blessing is that she can not interact with those who do not and can not know. Still in every town she lives in eventually rumors begin to arise a women in white who walks the grounds of the local cemetery, a ghost or apparition the rumors do not elaborate. some say that if you leave a gift of oil and blood she will favor you and watch over the loved ones you leave behind in the bone yard and their will always be fresh flowers on their graves. Still others paint a far darker tale of a vengeful spirit who desends upon the unwary and tears them apart draining their blood to feed to the worms and the hungry dead. The legends agree on one thing, benevolent of vengeful you will always know when she arrives you will feel her gaze even before you see her and if you do... Run.

Her mother prays to God her father to Hel, months pass and whilst the wounds on her body heal she doesn't wake her parents start to despair until one day she opens her eyes, but they are milky white and blind. Her mother tries to be positive at first but views her daughter now as an invalid her father views it differently to Ylva and her mother he quotes the Edda, "The lame can ride horse, the handless drive cattle,the deaf one can fight and prevail,'tis happier for the blind than for him on the bale-fire,but no man hath care for a corpse.
1014 - though blind she shows great insight and her parents come to the realisation that she has the sight, her father believes more strongly then her mother and they both disagree on where her sight comes from but still words spreads people begin to travel to meet with her, her father never fores her to meet or talk with others but her mother trades coin for audience with her child keeping her dealings quiet from Gisl and threatening harm to Ylva if she ever tells him.
A few months after word begins to spread a stranger comes to the hall and ylva instantly knows he is wrong she refuses to see him until her mother forces her, locked in the room with him he asks her what she knows of him and she tells him he is a dead man a corpse given breath.
