PERSONALITY.
Loud. Confident. Hard-charging. Easily excitable. Svanhildr was nicknamed "Spitfire" from a young age, not without good reason, and its become used more often than her real name. The fact that her name shortened is "Spy" is a happy coincidence, but it describes her just as well as Spitfire does.
Spy is someone with a fierce, fighting personality in all regards. She knows what she wants, and she'll get it no matter what tries to stop her. She can sometimes be a bit overzealous in that regard, but generally speaking, she gets things done, no matter how difficult or daunting they are. While Alekt is the more common face that others see in the Clan, she is undeniably a large part of the Clan's backbone.
Raised about-equally between her father and uncle, she preferred to spend her time rough-housing with the boys than doing anything she deemed "girly" or "woman's work" ; that's not to say she has an inherent disrespect for those who prefer that way of life though. Unlike Alekt, she comfortably fits into any social situation, liking to be the center of attention and run wild as the life of the party, especially if the party is a little crazy.
She grew up closely alongside Gyr, Alekt, and Protem, with Gyr being her best partner-in-crime and sparring partner. When it comes to the Branch Clan, she mostly leaves Alekt to handle things on the surface, while she works solo or with Gyr to charge ahead. Its not so much shirking responsibility as it is knowing herself better than that, under the accurate claims that Alekt is better at tact, patience, and delicate politics. Her? She's ready to admit she's more likely to punch someone in the face than talk nice.
While the Clan doesn't often see her face, Spy doesn't simply sit on her laurels, doing a lot of the bulk in information gathering for the Clan's work contracts and opportunities to report to Alekt. It suits her just fine, since it allows her to travel frequently and do her own thing, as Spy hates to hold still or be bored at any point in time, charging into battle frequently and with little fear.
Caring and charismatic with her allies, and fiercely steadfast against her enemies or those who threaten her Clan, things are unlikely to be calm and quiet whenever she's around, though she does occasionally step up to the plate to handle things with seriousness when Alekt needs her to take over for him.
While Alekt is better at political tact, Spy is better at personal tact and relations with her Clanmates, more willing to step up to being comforting when people need someone to talk to or listen to, and she tends to know just how far to push things and how much to back off. When it comes to that, Spy is the far superior Clan leader and helps hold things together.

HISTORY.
A young-adult Reachwoman born to the Kråke Clan, a reclusive Reach people dwelling within Blackreach, little more than myth even to the other freefolk of the Reach. Spy has always had a fiery personality, earning the nickname “Spyttebrann” (Spitfire) at a young age (to which she’d tell you--you can call her Spy, and you can call her Brann, or Fire, but if you call her Spit you’re asking to get punched in the face).
Spy was raised primarily by her father and uncle in equal measure, with Hartvig being a close advisor to the Clan’s leader, Brock. By extension, Spy ended up spending a great deal of time around (see: harassing) his youngest son, Alekt, who more often than not appeared more interested in crafts or learning skills than paying her any attention, which only led her to pestering him all the more and playing mean tricks on him (like shoving his face in snow).
Spy spent even more time around Gyr, the largest child of their generation and future candidate for the next Beak rank, whose job it would be to act as Alekt’s bodyguard and vanguard. Always ready for a good scrap, Spy tended to insert herself into any and all training or sparring matches with Gyr and Alekt, learning to fight alongside both of them, and Gyr more often than not encouraged her rough-and-tumble tendencies with ease.
Though she grew no less wild and excitable, she did start to develop a certain respect for Alekt as they grew, who tolerated all of her attempts at his attention or reactions with only mild shows of temporary annoyance.
Spy managed to get Alekt to agree to marry her at sixteen, both of them taking their place as the obvious choice for the Clan’s next heirs to leadership.
When Alekt left home at eighteen, Spy followed him without hesitation to explore and learn about the bigger world outside the Reach, though they split up to different places before long, keeping in frequent contact over letters.
While Alekt handled affairs with the branch Clan and managing its members, Spy took to traveling all over, searching for news and intel that would aid the branch Clan and their business taking work contracts.
