[hider=Transformed Form]
While in her transformed form, Ylva is considered big even for werewolves, despite her young age. Turning into a massive 9ft white werewolf, her size can only be compared to her ferocity. The sheer size, strength and speed she has are worthy of a female born from the Asulf clan from two pure blooded werewolves, who had the old blood running through their veins. While she is still young, it's not known how much she will grow as she gets older, as she is the first and currently the only werewolf from the Asulf clan born from two individuals with equally strong old blood in their veins.

With a tall and athletic build, Ylva is a woman of presence. Standing at 1,87m, she has the body of a Skjaldmær, strong and with defined muscles. Both her biceps and thighs are covered with runic tattoos, depicting ancient protection runes and symbols, according to the tradition of her clan. Despite her strong muscles, her body is still feminine, giving her an exotic, Amazonian beauty.

Her long, blonde hair, which she often keeps in traditional Norse style braids, is often adorned with wooden carved hair beads coupled with a pair of bone carved earrings (made it herself), with a spiral pattern on them. Her penetrating hazel eyes, coupled with her hair, earrings and the piercing on her nose give her a wild, untamed feel to her appearance, which is further reinforced by the tribal runic tattoos on her arms and thighs.

Yilva often prefers to wear light and comfortable clothes that wont get in her way while moving. She is often seen wearing shirts, tops and jeans, normally in a rock/metal style.

Much like her appearance, Ylva is an intense and fierce woman. With strong opinions, she isn't afraid of getting her hands dirty and isn't the type of woman to lower her head to others. Near those she considers friends or members of her 'pack' she is surprisingly friendly and approachable, enjoying drinking, feasts and thanks to her lycanthrope nature and being raised by such a traditional clan, fighting and hunting. While to others it may appear to be strange, Ylva does not have a particular aversion to killing, even enjoying it to some extent. Still, she never hurts innocent people.

Due to the fact that she was born and raised among a clan of lycanthropes, Ylva is very used to her transformed form and feels very comfortable while on it. Unlike werewolves who were raised in big cities or environment that they might not be able to transform often, Ylva knows her own transformed form very well and despite not having as much experience as some of the more ancient werewolves, her battle experience is definitely higher than her age suggests when compared to a 'city werewolf'.

That said, Ylva can be incredibly intimidating to those she doesn't know due to the fact that she has a lot of wolf traits on her personality, thanks to her strong instincts. Approaching her with an aggressive stance is a quick and easy way to get punched in the face. The best way to interact with Ylva if you're a stranger would be to treat her almost as a wild animal, being especially careful on how you approach her and your body language.

Considered by many to be a fierce and aggressive clan, the Asulf clan is one of the few who, even nowadays, continue to follow the old, ancient traditions of the Lycanthropes such as feasting on the corpses of their enemies and eating their hearts, being seen even as barbaric by modern Lycanthropes.
Despite the dark reputation the Asulf clan has, they are known to be fiercely loyal and honorable, respecting those who respect them and being fearsome allies to those who conquered their trust. Differently from some other clans, they are proud and greatly value their origins as Lycanthropes, transforming themselves incredibly often compared to other clans. Having a history of actively hunting, killing and feasting upon other rampaging werewolves, most evil magic practitioners and vampires, despite the bad reputation, they actually contribute to keep things in order.

Ylva, much like any other member of the Asulf clan was born and raised knowing she was a Lycanthrope and being taught to be proud of that. Born out of Astridr and Gunnarr Asulf, both which had a strong lineage and old blood in their veins. At the time both her father and mother were the Alpha male and female of the Asulf clan. From a small city in Norway, Ylva grew up running in the forests and being taught the old ways by her parents, including how to be proud of her lineage and of being a werewolf. 
When Ylva completed 18 years old, her parents announced to the clan that she would become the next Alpha female upon completing her coming of age ceremony, a tradition passed since time imemorial. Despite the reason for that be known for some of the elders, which agreed that Ylva would become an incredibly powerful werewolf in the future due to her strong lineage and the amount of old blood that she had, others from her clan weren't happy with that decision. Having an Alpha that barely had become an adult was unthinkable for them but since the current Alphas did agree with it, no one said a word about it, especially since it was quite clear that despite her young age, Ylva was able to fight seriously with any other werewolf in the clan.

Unfortunately, the dissatisfaction of some of the clan members didn't go unnoticed by the old clan of vampires from Europe who wanted to extend their claws to Norway. Seeking to eliminate the Asulf clan that was definitely a thorn on their side, they used this dissatisfaction to foment infighting and discord among the clan. Using it to their advantage, the vampires waited until the trust between clan members was low and it began to fragment. Two factions began appearing inside the clan. The one that believed and still followed the old ways and the ones who believed that the old ways were obsolete and new traditions should be formed. Allying themselves with the latter one, which now cared more about winning the internal conflict than to keep the clan united, the vampires attacked the rest of the clan. 

It was a bloody battle which almost wiped out both sides of the conflict. In the middle of the conflict both of the Alphas died, being overwhelmed by both vampires and werewolves alike. Being the Alphas, they were key targets to be eliminated as their very presence already shifted the tide of the battle. With both of them dead though, Ylva who was the strongest werewolf other than her parents assumed the role of the Alpha. Enraged by the death of her parents and the betrayal of her own clan, she went on rampage, killing vampires and the traitors from her clan. In the end of the conflict, the forest floor was now red with blood. Corpses from both vampires and werewolves made the scenery almost something out of a horror movie. With both sides almost completely annihilated, Ylva saw herself wounded and alone. Her rampage left her exhausted and weak, forcing her to hide in an old tree's hollow trunk until she could get herself up again. Despite the heavy losses on the vampires' side, their objective was completed and now the Asulf clan was no more. The few that remained, either the ones who fled from the battle or survivors hid themselves. With the once proud and powerful clan now fragmented, Ylva saw herself cornered and had no choice but to flee, both from Norway and the vampire clans, seeking her own survival.

Years passed and Ylva saw herself on Ember Grove after following the scent of other werewolves. Knowing that at least she wouldn't be the only werewolf around and that she probably wouldn't be recognized or followed by vampires, she choose to settle on the small town of Ember Grove.

Not anymore. Fears being betrayed by her pack again, reason why she doesn't actively try to get in a pack or start a new one.

Ylva was born a werewolf, from a long lineage of werewolves dating back to the old times and stories about bear and wolf warriors, called the Ulfhednar. While her parents where the Alphas of the clan, they died in the middle of the conflict. Being the second stronger werewolf in the pack after them, she assumed the role of the Alpha. When the battle ended though, she saw herself alone. Fearing being betrayed by her pack again and believing that she was, just like the other elders said, too young and inexperienced to be an Alpha, she decided against trying to rejoin the Asulf clan again or make a pack of her own and instead, fled from Norway.
