Sigrid

For other uses of "Sigrid", see Sigrid (Disambiguation).

Sigrid is the net weaver who tells her story to Snow. She traveled with the dog-headed Cynocephaloi to the city of Al-a-Nur, where she earned her name and a place in the Tower of St. Sigrid.

Appearance
As a bear she had white fur, dark, large eyes and was even bigger than Eyvind.

When first in the body of the milkmaid she is young and ruddy-cheeked, and bright of eye.

When Snow meets her, she has a round face, merrily lumpy with red cheeks, reminding the girl of a well-fed gnome. She has curly, brown hair. Her body is "solid as a bull walrus, muscles bulging silkily under layers of fat". She wears rough iron rings.

Background
Sigrid, or back then, Ulla, was a polar bear. She was a very good hunter and, even though just a novice, a very good astrologer. She was engaged to Eyvind. After Eyvind leaves to avenge the Snake-Star, she trades with Umayma to become a human girl.

The Book of the Sea
She leaves with Bartholomew, Balthazar and Bagdemagus to Al-a-Nur and joins the Tower of St. Sigrid. There she stays for the next seven years, afterwards plying the river in her raft for a year. The following years she uses to seek for the Echeneis, trying to fulfil the prophecy but not understanding it. In the grief of failure she sails into a storm. Her ship is wrecked and Sigrid nearly drowns. She is saved by a Muireann fisherman and decides to stay in the city, becoming a net-weaver and, for some time, an alcoholic.
