History
Mariage
At some point, Loki seeked a female companionship, and discovered Sigyn. Offering her jewels, Loki asked her to marry him, but Sigyn was already engaged to Theoric, another god she loved, and member of Odin's guard of the Crimson Hawk. Furthermore, she despised the god of Evil.[2]
Loki had her fiancé killed by Trolls during a mission and used a spell to take his form. In this disguise, Loki approached Sigyn and provoked in her an even more ardent love, although she had some doubts about "Theoric".[2]
went to the wedding and Odin himself, unsuspecting, married them.[2]
When Loki revealed his face, Odin tried to annul the marriage, but Asgardian law forbade even the High Father to do so. Thus, Odin could only exile Loki, but Sigyn, in tears, accepted the marriage and decided to go with him. Impressed, Odin declared Sigyn the Goddess of Fidelity.[2]
At that point, Sigyn was given a months-long mission out of Asgard for Odin.[3]
Ragnarök
After Balder was killed by an arrow of blind Hoder under the manipulations of Loki, Sigyn returned and asked to accompany Hoder and guide his arrows during the Ragnarök.[4]
During Loki's trial, Sigyn had to suffer the burden of being the evil's wife,[5] bearing grief for both.[6]
Loki was punished for the murder of Balder to be tied to three rocks and a snake would drip poison on his face. Sigyn refused to abandon him, interceding to Frigga and Odin, she was allowed to help him: She collected the poison in a bowl. However, when the bowl was full, Sigyn had to leave periodically to empty it. During this time, the poison dripped into Loki's eyes.[6] and Loki blamed his wife for that.[citation needed]
As the forces of Hel stormed upon Asgard, Sigyn returned to partner with Hoder.[7]
Fourth Host
While at Loki's side, Sigyn's essence (like all of Asgard's) was used by Odin to power the Destroyer armor against the Celestials.[8]
Sigyn was seen feasting with the Asgardians, reunited with a grim Loki, after Thor had revived the Aesir,[8] but was shackled to him.[9]
Loki was allowed to remain in Asgard, sleeping shackled to Sigyn.[3][10]
Infuriated by his chains and his wife guarding him, he revealed that he had acquired the affections of the Enchantress and of Karnilla (allegations she didn't believed), and went to Odin to demand to be released. the All-Father finally did, banishing him to an outpost. Sigyn was left in Asgard and dismissed by Odin.[3]
Loki eventually returned, and when Thor was on trial for disrespecting the rule that no god could dwell Midgard without the consent of the gods' majority, Sigyn came to inform her husband, who faked to at last return her love. At the trial, Sigyn was among those to allow him in Midgard, as Loki enraged at the idea of having Thor locked in Asgard with him.[11]
Although they have been estranged for years, recently Sigyn has tried to resume their marriage.[citation needed]Personality
Sigyn was seemingly very puritan, as she stated that she could never live outside of wedlock.[2]
Although she despised him,[2] Sigyn, despite reckoning Loki's evil, Sigyn had true love for him. Those feelings made her afflicted[4][5][6] and sometimes ashamed.[7]
She remained at his side faithful despite his wrong-doings towards her.[3]Attributes
