Sieghilde Altman/Introduction

From From Dusk till Jawn
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Sieghilde simply conserves words. She's reserved with people she doesn't know; few outside her family or pack frequently hear her speak at length. Of course, there are the occasional bursts of fury (or furious verbiage), and those bursts of fury, coupled with her fists, give rise to her deedname: Hildehammer. Who needs the hammer of Thor when there are the hammers of the Valkyrie to fear? Her name roughly translates to Hammer of the Just Priestess in First Tongue.

She drinks, she smokes, she fights. Occasionally, she quotes obscure poets, just for fun. She's an expert traceuse, too, because why not, right? It's easy for people who don't know her to forget that Sieghilde Altman, the Punchmonster, is also Dr. Sieghilde A. Altman, sporting a doctorate in Literature, though she retired from teaching. Underestimate her intelligence or underestimate her fists: only the foolish or the uninformed do either.


Once a Bone Shadow, over a decade ago she left that Tribe and became one of the Suthar Anzuth. Sigi has a very precise take on the tribe's philosophy. It includes such sayings as 'if you love your brother, you'll throw him off the roof.' Whatever that means.

Rumors that she literally bit the right half of her Ritemaster's ass off during her Ordeal are probably just rumors.

Right?
