The Character
-------------------------------------------------------------
Cannon or your own: Cannon
Copyright (Marvel/DC/ect): Marvel
Characters civilian name: Sif
Code names/Aliases: Lady Sif, Erika Velez, Mrs. Chambers
Class [Superhero, Vigilante, Mercenary..ect]: Goddess
-------------------------------------------------------------
Gender: Female
Age: unknown but around Thor's age
Apparent Age:
Hair: Black
Eyes: Blue
Height and weight: 6'3, 425lbs
Appearance: Sif would play to the conventional image of an Asgardian goddess - Tall, beautiful, and blonde. Thanks to the machinations of Loki, however, Sif has always had dark, sumptious jet-black locks of hair, that enchant almost anyone she comes across. Blue eyes peer out from beneath a firm brow, often assuming a somewhat matronly expression when she chastises or worries about Thor.
Sif has a body many woman would kill for. Insanely attractive and womanly, and at the same time, firm, and strong, Sif treads that fine line between strength and feminity with no problems whatsoever.
Sif is found in the traditional garb of a woman of Asgard, consisting of medieval-esque garments, her hair tied in twin braids. In battle, she adopts dark red armor.
Picture [if available]:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Super Powers: Sif possesses the conventional attributes of an Asgardian woman ("goddess"). Like all Asgardians, she is extremely long-lived (although not immortal like the Olympians), superhumanly strong (the average Asgardian female can lift about 25 tons; Sif can lift 30 tons) immune to all diseases, and resistant to conventional injury (Asgardian flesh and bone is about 3 times as dense as similar human tissue, contributing to all Asgardians' superhuman strength and weight). Sif's Asgardian metabolism gives her far greater than human endurance during all physical activities.
Learned Abilities: Sif is a formidable combatant and has received extensive training in unarmed combat and swordsmanship. Among Asgardian women, her fighting ability is second only to Brunnhilde The Valkyrie.
Equipment: Sif wields a special sword enchanted by Odin to enable her to cleave passageways between dimensions, primarily between Asgard and Earth, by a special pattern of swinging motions.
Weaknesses (Must Have): Sif is not always necessarily obligated or allowed to interfere in the problems of mortals, meaning that even if she feels for the plight of some people, she may not be allowed to interfere.
Her love for Thor can allow her to be easily misguided. Asgardians are also not immortal, just extremely long-lived, and are obligated to respect the ongoing cycle of death and rebirth that is Ragnarok.
Background: Sif is a beautiful warrior-goddess of the Asgardian pantheon. Heimdall, her brother, is the sentinel of Asgard's Rainbow Bridge, which connects Asgard and Midgard (Earth).
When Sif was a child, she possessed long golden hair. She often played with young Thor, Odin's son, and Loki, Thor's adopted brother. Sif and Thor fell in love while they were quite young. Jealous, Loki cut off all of Sif's golden hair while she was asleep.
Guessing that Loki had something to do Sif's loss of hair, Thor angrily demanded that Loki restore her golden locks. The scared Loki contacted two dwarven craftsmen, Brokk and Entiri (who would later create Thor's Mjolnir hammer), and asked them to create new hair for Sif. Loki was either unable, or unwilling, to pay the dwarves enough gold to create golden hair. The dwarves decided that "for the price of naught" they would make "strands of naught." The dwarves created magical strands of hair from the blackness of the night. The strands of darkness took root the moment they were placed on Sif's head, and then began to grow out. Thor found that Sif's new black tresses made her even more attractive, disrupting Loki's plan to ruin their relationship.
For a time, Thor and Sif had a falling out. Many years later, Thor began his career as a super hero on Earth, and had a long-time love affair with the mortal Jane Foster. After this, however, Odin arranged for Thor to meet the now adult warrior-goddess, Sif. They became close companions and fell in love again. They promised to someday marry each other.
Unfortunately, Thor's feelings of responsibility to the Earth and its people often come between the two lovers. In the past, Sif has tried to adjust to living on the mundane Earth. Unfortunately, Sif prefers the majesty of Asgard.
At one point, Thor's former mortal lover, Jane Foster, was dying, and Sif merged her life force with Foster's, reviving the dying woman. Sif did this partially so that she could try to understand Thor's attraction to mortals, especially Jane Foster. Soon afterward, Foster was separated from Sif, when Foster was exiled to a limbo-realm called the Runestaff of the Possessor. Sif and Thor eventually rescued Jane Foster and reunited her with her mortal love, Kevin Kincaid.
Thor and Sif later came to the aid of the alien champion, Beta Ray Bill, who was the guardian of a large space fleet that carried the surviving members of his alien race in suspended animation. Sif, Beta Ray Bill, and Thor drove off a horde of Surtur's demons that were attacking Bill's fleet. Beta Ray Bill and Sif found themselves attracted to each other while the war with Surtur raged on. During this time, Thor had fallen under an enchantment that caused him to fall in love with the Asgardian Lorelei. Thor was so blinded by the spell that he even struck Sif in anger.
In a final climactic battle with Surtur, Thor, Loki, and Odin defended Asgard. Meanwhile, the Ancient Casket of Winters had been opened on Earth. The warriors of Asgard, led by Sif and Bill, protected Earth from Surtur's demons and the renegade Dark Elves working with Surtur. Surtur and his forces were defeated on Asgard and Earth.
Before returning to Asgard, Bill and Sif spent some time together on Earth. Once back in Asgard, Sif and Bill defeated the Titanium Man, the Russian villain, who was leading a group of disgruntled American war veterans wearing the Credit Card Soldier armored battlesuits.
Sif and Bill eventually returned to Earth. Sif finally came to forgive Thor, after realizing that Lorelei was to blame for Thor's brutality. Sif was also impressed by Thor's heroism when he entered Hela's realm to rescue some mortals' souls stolen by the death goddess. This also caused Sif to accept Thor's guardianship of Earth and Asgard.
When the Egyptian death god, Seth, attacked Asgard, Sif fought along with the other brave Asgardian warriors. During the battle, Leir, the Celtic god of Lightning, saw Sif and developed an attraction for her.
Later, when the Frost Giant Ymir attacked Asgard, Leir arrived in Asgard planning to ask Sif to marry him. A worried Sif agreed, once two conditions were fulfilled. The first condition was that Leir help her find Thor and bring him back to Asgard. Leir agreed and they traveled to Earth in search of Thor. The trail led from Earth to the Black Galaxy, where they finally found Thor. Leir got them back to Asgard in time to witness the final battle between Ymir and Surtur, which heralded Ragnarok.
Thor and Odin were able to permanently postpone Ragnarok, saving the universe. Leir then had to face Sif's second condition: to defeat Sif's chosen champion in battle. Thinking that Sif would ask Thor to be her champion, Leir was stunned when Sif acted as her own champion and easily bested the arrogant Leir.
Since then, Thor and Sif had continued their close relationship.
During Ragnarok, Sif died in battle against Thor's enemies who possessed weapons that were forged in the same way as Mjolnir.
When Thor was revived and began awakening the Asgardians, Sif's absence was notable. Hoping to find her, Donald Blake, briefly separated from Thor, sought out Jane Foster in New York City to see if she was again housing Sif's spirit. Finding Jane to be lacking Sif's spirit, Donald left the hospital where she worked, little realizing that one of the patients there was actually Sif, being held hostage in the body of an old woman by the reawakened Loki.
Personality : Sif is by and large defined by her love for Thor. She spent years searching for him before, and she aims to do so again, if need be. She will stand by him until Ragnarok comes once more, but it is not that she needs his protection. She is more than assured of her own strength, and in fact enjoys combat, more than most. She simply stays with Thor purely out of love and duty, though she is sometimes attracted to those of a level of power similar to his.
She is also dedicated to Asgard, not genuinely understanding Thor's love for Earth, but she humours him as best she can. She has, in the past, been frustrated about his attraction to other women, but experiences have led her to find that some things are simply out of her hands.

Brief Sample Roleplay Clint had just left the safe house he was sharing with Britanna, after dropping Elektra off. Britanna had ordered him to leave her alone with the assine, feeling she would have an easier time brain washing her, if he wasn't there. He reluctenly agreed, only because he felt like starting a new hunt for a new victiem. He wanted his next one to be a young raven-haired girl, much like Elektra, so he could relive the experiance again. He made his way to Central Park, in full costume, and sticking to the shadows, soon spotted a beautiful young woman, standing in the middle of the park, all alone. He couldn't help but to smile as she seemed to be the perfect prey for him. After a quick look aroun, making sure noone else was around, Clint ran at Sif, and went to tackle her from behind.
Lady Sif had been watching children laugh and play with one another when one of them screamed and pointed at a man running towards them from behind her. Lady Sif around on her heel and back then foreword to punch the in coming man in the jaw hard enough to knock him off his feet hopefully. Not taking her eyes off the man she heard the kids run off back to there parents.
Of all the opponets he had faced in his time, none were as fast as this one. Her punch landed square on his jaw, sending him flying towards a large oak tree. Had it not been for his enhanced reflexes and duribility, Clint would have been knocked out cold, and would have hit the tree. He shifted his weight, allowing him to turn and placing his feet out, so he could spring board off the tree, pull his shield off his back, and hurl it towards where Sif was. As it looked like it would hit her, it actually missed her, instead, hitting it's true target. The shield struck the slowest of the three children, cleving the boy in half, his organs hanging out from the corpse. He smiled at his work, before turnning to look at Sif once more.
"That was one hell of a punch, back there. Not even Captain America ever hit me that hard!"
He licked his lips, before charging for her, again.
Lady Sif watched as the boy was sliced in two by the shield before turning back to face Clint with a look could set him a blaze as she drew her sword and charged at him "I don't know who that is but I will have your head for what you have done." She told as she brought her sword back over her head and back down to slash him in the chest. "I wont rest until your dead." Lady Sif said.
