Hjerdís is a youthful woman, seemingly young and for some appearing as quite naive, which might make you surprised would she share her real age. She does not tend to speak unless first spoken to, which can make her come off as shy and maybe even closed up, although, when gotten into an interesting conversation, she has no trouble speaking her mind.

The first thing you notice when you look upon Hjerdís is most likely her wakeful, kind eyes peering back at you with silent, thoughtful curiosity; grey in colour, no different from the people of her kin, along with a somewhat rounded face, chubby cheeks and a slightly bent nose. Her hair is thick and dark brown, cut short for easier maintenance and her skin is free from scars, though when she smiles you will find a dimple appearing high up on her left cheek. Hjerdís likes to smile, but you do not often hear her laugh, and even lesser laughing loudly.

Her body shows signs of agility, her muscles not too defined, slender arms and strong legs, as she is a fast runner and a skilled archer.

Her clothing is tough, light-weighted and of earthy colours such as brown, green and grey. Usually wearing a hooded cloak, although when not on the road or in company of others, she prefer to leave it down. On her collar, you see a brooch depicting a star in silver and around her wrist a collection of thin leather rope. Usually she wears gloves, perfect in shape when she uses them when she hunts. Hjerdís carries a bow along with a quiver for her arrows on her back and has always two hunting knives attached to the belt around her waist.
