Laufey (Nordic: ᛚᚨᚢᚠᛖᛁ), known by her alias Faye, was a @Jotunn warrior of Midgard. She is the mother of @Loki Laufeyson. Although she lived as a mortal, Faye was, in fact, a Giant (Jotünn) of Jötunheim—concealing her true nature from her family for reasons unknown.

History

Her real name was Laufey, and, according to @Mimir, she was renowned as a great giant heroine, known as Laufey the Just, for her deeds in helping the weak and helpless and opposing the cruel @Aesir and their king, @Thor Odinson. She was also known to be a fearsome and respectful warrior in her own right, even drawing the attention of @Thor Odinson, one of the most powerful Aesir. At some point, she cooperated with @Tyr in hiding the Realm Tower to @Jötunheim, cutting her off from her home in an effort to preserve her kin from Thor's genocide.

Before she died, she instructed @Loki Laufeyson to cremate her body and scatter her ashes atop the highest peak of the Nine Realms. Unbeknownst to them, the highest peak wasn't in Midgard, but in Jötunheim, where a mural telling her life and a prophecy about @Utgard-Loki was and would explain her origins to them. To ensure events turned out as she wanted, she also instructed him to cut down specific trees marked with a golden, glowing hand sign that would disable the protection around her woods and alert the Gods to her presence in Midgard.
