IC Information:
Name: Sif
Fandom: Thor
Timeline: The end of Thor
Age: Since she's a god she's probably crazy old, but she looks to be in her mid twenties
Appearance: Unlike most Asgardians, Sif has dark brown hair that she most often wears tied back into a high ponytail. She's tall and fit as a warrior would be expected to be, wears silver and maroon armor and carries a sword that can extend and be wielded like a spear. During parties and when she's just relaxing she seems to prefer dark reds

She is also a cup

Abilities: Like all Asgardians, Sif possesses enhanced strength, durability, and a longer lifespan than mortals. She is also skilled at hand to hand combat and has trained with weapons like swords and spears since childhood.

When they first come to Earth, Volstagg lifts a car with one hand without much effort, and while Sif isn't Volstagg, it's still a good example of Asgardian strength. During the fight with the Destroyer, Sif was able to leap from a building onto a giant metal robot without breaking her legs, AND was able to stab her spearsword thing all way through it's metal neck with little effort. When it shoots its laser beam thingies at her and throws her flying into a car, it doesn't seem to do more than daze her for a moment before she's up and ready to go attack it again.

Personality: Sif's first line in Thor is "oh please," accompanied by an epic eye roll in response to Thor's strut when he walks into the throne room for his coronation. Immediately she is set up as a somewhat snarky badass lady, responding to Thor's question of "who proved everyone wrong when they said a woman couldn't be the greatest warrior Asgard had ever known?" with "I DID." Super snarkily.

She is incredibly devoted to Thor, and in comics canon she loves him. You can see that hinted in the movie by the way she watches him toward the end of the movie and the tone of voice she uses when she tells Frigga that Thor misses Jane. Her love for Thor could be both romantic and platonic, seeing as how in Asgard those things tend to blend together. After all, this is a place where dudes give birth to horses and stuff, lines like that are kind of blurred and definitions of love are a bit wider. In the end she loves him and would die for him.

Sif is headstrong in the same way that Thor is, but she tends to think things through more than he does. She has a strong sense of what is right and wrong, which is shown when she begs Loki twice to have Thor returned to Asgard. It's possible her love for Thor blinds her to his faults, but she still thinks he'd be a good ruler, one day. Incredibly loyal, she follows orders even when they aren't good ones and even bows to Loki to show respect once he's named himself king.

As the only woman in a group of male friends, Sif has had to find ways to prove herself their equal and it's clear when they all fight together, and when she goes off on her own to sneak up on the Destroyer, that her place among them has been won by her abilities. She's smug, she's tough, she's smart, and she could probably beat them all up if she had to. These men are her family and she loves them, even Loki, even when she kind of hates him too. A lot. Traitor.

She takes pride in her place beside Thor as the Lady Sif, Asgard's greatest woman warrior, and it's a well earned pride. From the way Thor puts it it sounds as though she's the first woman warrior in Asgard, but in comics she is matched by Brunnhilde. She's not afraid to die in battle and would have kept fighting the Destroyer if Thor hadn't stopped her.

History: Sif's early history isn't addressed in the movie, but because she has dark hair it's likely that the storyline from the comic where Loki cut her hair and replaced it with hair made by dwarves explains why she doesn't have blonde hair like other Asgardians.

We first see Sif during Thor's coronation, where she rolls her eyes at his pompous actions and stands on the steps of the dias of the throne with the Warrior's Three, Loki, Frigga, and Odin, making it clear she's in high standing with the family. It's soon revealed that she has earned her place with her friends through her ferocity and her abilities in combat, as well as her abilities to handle hanging out with a bunch of headstrong, violent boys.

Of course the coronation doesn't go well. A group of frost giants somehow manage to make it to Asgard and as far as the palace before they're all killed and Thor is first in line to suggest they go to Jotenheim to demand answers. Sif and the Warrior's Three all go with him after a speech about how awesome they all are, along with Loki who is kind of a wet blanket about the whole thing and totally fails to convince Hiemdall to let them pass. Still they're able to get there, which is actually a bad thing because Thor starts a mini war there. He's kind of impulsive and dumb that way. Sif is right by his side, fighting off frost giants just as fiercely as Thor and the Warriors Three.

Eventually Odin breaks up the fight and saves everyone's asses, and after they're safely back in Asgard he strips Thor of his powers, making him a mortal, and banishes him to Asgard, despite Loki's protests to keep him there. When the Warriors and Sif and Loki are all sitting around discussing what had happened, Sif asks Loki to go to Odin to convince him to change his mind and let Thor come home, but Loki refuses based on his belief that Thor would be a terrible king and walks out. Sif points out Loki has always been jealous of Thor and the four warriors begin to believe that maybe it's possible Loki was responsible for the frost giants who got into the palace.

Sif and the Warriors Three decide to go around Loki and go to beg Odin to let Thor return themselves, only to find Loki on the throne with the news that Odin has fallen into the Odinsleep, a restorative state that leaves him weak as a mortal. It's believed he may never wake up since he's put it off so long, and Loki has taken his place as King. Sif is, bluntly, pissed as hell. When she asks Loki to let Thor come back even though he's already made himself clear about his position on it before, and he says no again with the addition it's for the good of Asgard, she starts toward him like she wants to attack him, but is stopped by Fandral and Hogun before she can do anything stupid. The three walk away first, leaving Sif glaring up at Loki for a minute before she leaves too. She kind of obviously hates him at that point.

After leaving the four of them decide to go to Earth to bring back Thor and when Loki finds out, he sends a Destroyer after them to kill Thor. Why such an overreaction? Because Loki had told Thor Odin was dead and that Thor could never come home. Sif and the Warriors going to earth with contrasting information would mess up his plans. The Warriors Three and Sif fight the Destroyer while Thor and his mortal friends try to get people to safety, and Sif jumps on the damn thing and stabs it through the neck, seemingly killing it.

That doesn't work, though. Instead it comes back to life, nearly fries her, and then goes back to trying to kill Thor. When the battle continues to go incredibly badly, Thor tells Sif she's done all she can and to stop fighting and leave, but she refuses at him at first, insisting she'll die a warrior's death and people will tell stories about her bravery. But then he gets all handsy and tells her to live and tell the stories herself and she listens and retreats. Thor tells them all to return to Asgard to stop Loki, then fights the Destroyer himself and gets his ass kicked. This act of sacrifice awakens his Thor-ness and his hammer Mjolnir comes back to him, he kicks the robot's ass, and everyone goes back home to Asgard.

Thor runs off to face Loki alone, which results in the destruction of the Bifrost to stop Loki's evil plan of destroying Jotenheim, and stranding himself in Asgard. The two nearly fall off the bridge, but Odin finally wakes up and comes to save them. Loki, however, feeling like he'll never redeem himself in his father's eyes or be good enough for him, lets go and falls to his death into a giant black hole the Bifrost's destruction caused.

Some time after all of this there's a party because that's how you do in Asgard, parties everywhere. Thor leaves and Sif watches him with this look that can only be described as longing and sad, and gets up to see where he's gone. Frigga asks her how Thor is doing, implying SIF knows better than Thor's own mother, and she does know. She says that Thor mourns for his brother and misses Jane, the mortal he fell in love with on Earth.

Roleplay Sample - Log:

He stands there looking down on her, at the four of them, with that satisfied look of I win. Fandral's fingers are digging into her arm to keep her from taking another step forward, but the damage is already done. Loki has heard her pleas and denied them again and now she's made the mistake of letting her temper get the better of her.

She wants to attack him, this man who would be king, this man who stole the rightful position right out from under his own brother's nose. She wants to punch that smug look right off his face, that look that says he knows her desires and is daring her to just try and find out the outcome of her rashness. But Fandral and Hogun hold her back, reign her in, keep her from making a deadly mistake.

If only they could have done that for Thor.

They don't let go until the battle lust leaves her, the three of them standing to leave the throne room. Sif stays, still defiantly looking up at Loki, promising him retribution, possibly picturing all manner of painful tortures to visit upon him. When she finally turns away, there's a shadow of a grin on her lips, a plan already forming in her hear.

They'll just go to Midgard anyway, bring Thor home, and trounce Loki then, the five of them, together as it should be. Surely Heimdall will let them pass if they can explain things to him, and surely he would rather Loki be as far from the throne as possible. Perhaps it's not the best plan, but it is the only one.

Roleplay Sample - Journal:
[On Thor's return, he had told Sif and the Warriors Three of the strange and wondrous things he had encountered during his stay on Earth, as he called it. Chief among them had been his experience with what the mortals had called coffee. More than once he had described it, and often again when Volstagg asked for more detail. It was served hot and the people of earth sometimes put milk and sugar in it, and his descriptions left her, quite honestly, desperate to try it.

That's why she's on her faciliberry at the moment, though it's taken her quite awhile to figure out the way it works. She is hopeful as she looks into the camera, smiling politely.]

I have heard tales of the Midgardian beverage coffee.

[Just the way she says it makes it clear how entranced she is by the idea of mortal food.]

I should like to try it. Perhaps someone would be able to tell me where this coffee can be found?


This game includes horrible mental and physical torture of your character. After reading the rules/faq for clarification, how do you expect your character to handle this and continue to function? Sif is a practiced warrior and as an Asgardian, very hard to kill and it's very hard to rattle her. I mean she had to deal with Thor and Loki growing up, you can probably cope with just about everything after that.
