Hearthstone

Full name: Hearthstone Alderman Gender: Male Alias: Magnus's mother, Pinball Wizard (by Utgard-Loki), Rune-Lord, Mr Elf (by Thor) Affiliation: Mimir (formerly), Odin, Blitzen and Magnus Chase Residence: Midgard Status: Alive (Honorary Einherji) appearance: Hearthstone is a tall, pale elf with short, spiky, pale blond, hair and pale gray eyes. He wears a black leather jacket, black motorcycle pants and pointy-toed shoes, and a red and white striped scarf. After losing said scarf Alex Fierro gives him a pink and green scarf as a replacement. the non-human details in Hearth's appearance - the elf's pupils are strangely reflective, like a cat’s, while his veins are more green than blue under his translucent skin. Also, despite his disheveled appearance at times, Hearth does not ever reek like a normal homeless person – body odor, alcohol, stale grease. Instead, the elf smells more like pine needles and woodsmoke. Personality: Hearth is a very loyal friend and has risked his own life multiple times to save both Magnus and Blitzen. He is shown to have a dry and self-deprecating sense of humour which he often exercises when annoyed or happy. He is guarded with his own emotions as he was constantly downtrodden and ridiculed by his father and the elves around him due to inability to hear (as elves cannot tolerate imperfections). However, with Magnus and Blitzen his personality and self-confidence evolves as he is around people who truly appreciate his talents and empathise with his weaknesses. General Abilities: Alf Sign Language: Hearthstone is able to communicate via Alfheim Sign Language. It also happens to be the same as American Sign Language. Lip-reading: Being deaf, Hearth had to learn how to read lips in order to understand and communicate with other people. Pinball Skills: Hearth has a talent when it came to pinball. Deafness/Audiokinetic Immunity: While Hearthstone can not hear, his lack of hearing gives him an immunity to sound-based attacks. Such as when he and Sam were hiding from Ratatosk and he was unaffected by the squirrel's screech. This also protected him from Fenris Wolf's taunts, and later the security Nøkks' mournful music at his father's party. Archery: It is revealed in The Sword of Summer, that Hearth is skilled in archery. We see a limited exhibition of this characteristic when he fights Surt with a toy set of bow and arrows. Magical Items: Hearthstones White Oak Staff, Runestones: Hearth uses rune stones to cast spells. Rowan-Wooden Runes: Given to him by Sif, their magic is supple and malleable and easier to use than his stone runes. Staff: When Mimir told Hearthstone that he was a master of Alf Seidr, he was given a white oak two-pronged staff which now holds the rune most meaningful to him: Perthro, the empty cup.
