Hel

'In Norse Mythology, Hel is a being that presides over a realm of the same name, where she receives a portion of the dead. Hel is the daughter of Loki, and to "go to Hel" is to die. In the Prose Edda book Gylfaginning, Hel is described as having been appointed by the god Odin as ruler of a realm of the same name, located in Nifleheim. In the same source, her appearance is described as half-black and half-flesh colored.'
