More Info
Ljot Swanhild
Ljot has medium-length blue-green hair with light and dark spots and a checkered pattern. She wears a school sailor uniform, sometimes replacing the skirt with camouflage cargo pants. Occasionally the skirt model and cargo pants model are treated as separate characters who interact with each other.
Schatten Swanhild
Schatten is short, wears a school outfit, has black hair, and talks in a gravelly voice. She first appears in "Shadow the Swanhild" where Ljot finds her in the mountains which is Schattens home. Her name "Schatten" is German for shadow in reference to shadow the hedgehog. She is known for her bad temper however, despite that she is rather empathetic often coming to a mutual understanding with others after initially being put off. She likes broccoli, stones, bats, and snow. She is in love with Normie Barista.
Large Creature Swanhild
Large Creature is tall, also wears a school outfit, has bright teal hair, and talks in beeps and boops. It first appears in "swanhild creature in the mountains" where Ljot and Schatten find swanhild sightings and investigate in the mountains to find it. Ljot is the only character who can understand Large Creatures speech and later starts to learn the language herself. Large Creature is referred to by other characters with it/its pronouns. Large Creature is known for being introverted and merciful. She likes artichokes, guayusa tea, shinkasen 700 series, and giraffes. Notably does not like coffee like the other Swanhilds.
Normie Barista Swanhild
Normie Barista is similar in height to Ljot, also wears a school outfit, and has lime green hair. She first appears in "Normie Barista" where Schatten tries to order an espresso from her. Normie Barista works at the Cafe Sunshine Happy which replaces the previously used street espresso stand seen in earlier videos run by the PNG version of Ljot Swanhild.
