Re: Sif
History:

Sif is a beautiful warrior-goddess of the Asgardlan pantheon. Helmdali, 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.

Thor convinced Sif that the Frost Giants needed to be destroyed and she agreed. Instead of letting the Prince of Asgard cause conflict, she convinced him not to attack and instead she attacked.

Odin's wrath was great when the deed was discovered and as punishment he banished Sif from Asgard. He sent her to another realm as punishment.

Loki witnessed Odin banish Sif had seen where Odin had sent her followed. He destroyed the Bifrost bridge in his wake, cutting off all access to Migard from Asgard. He immediately found Sif and cast an enchantment on her to change her looks and to erase her memories so Thor wouldn't be able to recognize her. She was now blonde and had no memory of who she was or where she had come from.
