Wikipedia Trails: From Loki to Remis Lupin

Odin and Fenris

As I have been reading Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman, I have been very curious about the characters that come up in the stories.  As I was reading about Loki's children, I decided to do a little research to learn more about them.  I started at the page on Loki and read all about his children.  I recognized the names from the story and a couple I had heard in other things.  Fenrir was the one that I was most curious about.  I could have sworn there was a character in a really popular story named Fenrir, but I could not remember what it was.  Scrolling down to the bottom of this article, I found the "Modern Influence" section and read through there.  I saw that Fenrir Wolf was a character in Thor: Ragnarok, which I definitely remember.  I also figured out where I knew the name from.  J.K. Rowling named the werewolf that is buddy buddy with the death eaters Fenrir Greyback.  I headed over to this link to find out if she had specific reason to allude to this terrifying Norse character other than he was a wolf.  This article did not really answer this question.  It only had information on what books and movies he appeared in and what significant things the character did.  The section on him also discussed Remis Lupin, another werewolf, so I decided to read more on him while I was there.  Lupin is one of my favorite characters from the series, so it was a very nice place to end up.

Introduction: Who is Caitlyn?

Picture on the left: This is me at the OKC Zoo.  As you can tell, I'm a super serious person.   Hello world!  My name is Caitlyn and I like to think that I’m a fairly interesting person.  I am studying linguistics with a minor in Spanish.  If you are unfamiliar with linguistics, that’s totally fine.  Most people I encounter outside of my major don’t really know what it is either.  Linguistics is a sub-field of anthropology that focuses on language.  I really like the more technical aspects of my major. For example, I really love phonetics, a sub-field of linguistics.  This field focuses on the sounds of languages and how they are produced.  My favorite class from last semester was my syntax class.  This class was one for my major and it focused on grammar in language.  We started out by making grammar rules for English and then built upon them.  By the end of the semester, our grammar rules could theoretically work for any human language.  I think that is really cool and ex

Image
An updated version of this story can be found here at my site: Finding Mythology Image: The Golden Girl Amaterasu, the Sun-Goddess, was cherished by everyone. She was the most beautiful goddess and definitely the brightest. One day, she was sitting at the loom of the world, weaving in different pieces of life. She weaved into the pattern patches of joy and love with dismay and slaughter. Her loom was filled with all the parts of life. Suddenly, the demon of fire, Susa-no-wo came down from the peak. He came with wrath and malice, tearing in from the void. Amaterasu was frightened by her brother’s sudden presence and feared his power. She fled to the shadows of night in a cave to hide from the wrath of her brother and would refused to return to the heavens. All the people mourned the disappearance of their beautiful goddess. Their bright star was gone and so the people begged and cried for her return. But, she would not leave her cave and the people became even more upset
