Bergmál's family

Bergmál is the eldest of five sisters. Her father, Swidhun, had travelled a bit in his youth, and found a wife among the folk to the north, west of the river. Sigehild was a strapping woman who seemed destined to bear the sturdy sons needed to prosper at the edge of the great forest. She bore sturdy daughters, instead, but they proved no less capable. Bergmál early showed a talent for hunting at the edge of the forest, and often kept meat on the table.

Bergmál's sisters are: Swanhild, who often ranges through the wood with her great Hound. Swanhild is as tall as her mother but as brown as her father. The younger sisters each show a different mixture of their parents' looks. Moira takes more after her father while Bemia favors her mother. Idonea is as freckled as Bergmál, albeit darker of hair and greener of eye, and even at the age of ten she looks likely to grow tall.

Bergmál is considered almost an honorary Beorning, her mother moved south to marry.
