Ylfa was born and raised in Reykjavík, her mother a middle management wage slave for one of the larger megacorps operating in Iceland, while her father worked on one of Iceland's few remaining fishing boats. Her parents were never married; Ylfa was the result of a brief but intense affair. She was raised by her mother, but spent some weekends with her father when he wasn’t out on the ocean. | Ylfa was born and raised in Reykjavík, her mother a middle management wage slave for one of the larger megacorps operating in Iceland, while her father worked on one of Iceland's few remaining fishing boats.

She responded by running with the ‘wrong crowd’ and getting into trouble. Ylfa didn’t hate her mother; her hate was reserved for the megacorp culture that treated employees as nothing more than disposable goods. But Ylfa did resent her for falling into the corp trap and she was determined to never follow in her mother’s footsteps. |
Ylfa discovered her love for the sea one summer when she was able to stay with her father for a couple of weeks. At first she thought she would be bored out of her mind staying at that cottage of the shore instead of the small apartment he had in the city. But the first time he took her out onto the ocean in that little boat he had, she fell in love with the wind and the waves. She also learned a lot about her father out on the water. From the stories he told it turns out he was something of a rapscallion himself in his younger days. They bonded that summer before he set out to sea again. She still keeps in touch with him when she can to this day. | Ylfa discovered her love for the sea one summer when she was able to stay with her father for a couple of weeks.
