Louhi is the Goddess of Witchcraft and Death, and Mistress of Pohjola – her snowy realm in the far north.
Her daughters are the Maidens of Pohjola.
She can shape-shift from a beautiful red-haired woman to a hag, to a gryphon.
Heroes and villains invade Pohjola constantly hoping to win (or steal) one of Louhi‘s daughters. She assigns them tasks, but it usually results in the men dying. She laments of ever finding men worthy of her daughters.
SHADOWY
Louhi deals with rebellion from her daughters.
Louhi sends Lemminki to get a feather and imprisons Vainamoinen while waiting for Ilmarinen to forge the Sampo.
When Viktoria proves she is capable of defending herself, she and Louhi strike a deal – if Viktoria can live without help for 1,001 years, she can be free of Pohjola.
