In the Prose Edda (thirteenth century) by Snorri Sturluson (1179-1241), Hel/Hela is depicted as a daughter of the god Loki and the female jötunn (giantess) Angrboda (whose name means "the one who brings grief" or "she-who-offers-sorrow"). The same work depicts Hel/Hela as a sister to Fenrir (a giant wolf, destined to kill Odin) and Jörmungandr (a sea serpent, destined to kill Thor and to be killed by him, in a battle where both combatants die). Hel/Hela is the only one of the three in a humanoid form.
