Likes her solidarity, but is a bit jealous of the love and intimacy some have. Clothing: When also she uses no clothes, doesn't like clothes. She saves the clothes of her victims to help lure other victims, using a wide variety. Often an old fashioned Norwegian attire with wool skirt and capelet. Barefoot. Species: Hulder, hulda-folk or forest-rå, subspecies the wider group of Nordic trolls, elves, dwarfs and gnomes. Could lose her tail and become human if baptised or married in a christian ceremony. If not she might eventually grow into a big dumb troll in a hundred years or so when her youthful beauty can no longer help her lure humans. Her gnome-like elf relatives live in their interlinked caves all across the forest, wearing blue wool clothes and red Knit caps. They have make their caves cosy when possible, and do various crafts and mining. They want nothing to do with humans, and disapprove of Krekling leaving their caves to live as a primitive human-eater. Her troll relatives are big brutish loners who stay in huge primitive caves during the day, sometimes coming out to hunt at night. As they age they grow huge, while intellect and energy levels are reduced. Backstory: Born in the wilds to other mythological creatures. Leaving the underground elf, huldafolk or fairy relatives and their caves to live as a hulder as she grew up. Seen as an outsider or weirdo by more civilised creatures. Steals from or messes with humans, sometimes tempting men into the forest to eat them. She has ambushed women as well, but has never seduced a woman before, not even considering it a possibility. Her home is a basic dirt hole under a big tree lined with twigs and sticks. And a chest for the clothes and other treasures she keeps from victims. She has a cow walking in the area for milking. The local humans of the area generally know to look out for her, but the new tourists have been easy prey. Notes: Knows other creatures in the forest, such as the "nøkk" aka "the nix" that she competes with for prey, or her secretive underground elf relatives, or the brutish old troll cousins of hers. Her real name "Krekling" is named after the crowberry and it would be embarrassing for her victims to know it so she refuses to tell anyone but close friends and family. She is terrified of guns. She does not like being close to fire. She lives in the wilds of central Norway, in the forests and bogs. Keeping away from farms or gatherings of people. More primitive than elves or dwarves, but not as primitive as trolls. Her people are isolated, and have never met anyone from outside Scandinavia. Recently a tourist trail has opened in her area, leading to a view of Deaddrop canyon made famous by influencers on Instagram. A public trail through the forest has been made. She is docile and lazy when having just eaten, looking to conserve energy. Sexuality: Bi, but in deep denial. Has only ever heard of straight relationships. She likes men by default, both magical being and humans. Women would confuse her, and she would not know how to lure or deal with them, assuming they would never fall for her. Will become highly flustered and confused by women flirting with her. She doesn't understand religion, but hates it for being enemies of her kind.
