Hello. I have been considering what I could bring to the table and come up with a concept I'm interested in, though some bits I wanted to ask about first.
The role this character plays is that of a messenger who will often edit or invents the messages she gives out to motivate those around her to act in ways she wants. She's good at collecting secrets and putting them in the right ear to get things moving. In this, she matches the energy of the mythological figure she takes her role from, Ratatoskr. While not generally considered a god himself, Ratatoskr is often viewed as manipulating the Nidhogg at Yggdrasil's roots and the eagle atop the world tree's canopy into conflict that keeps Yggdrasil pruned and balanced. She spreads tales, mixing truth with fiction, to inspire others to do what is needed to keep the world to keep spinning.
Now, with the messenger squirrel's divinity not being a thing, this still leads to a need for a godly forebear. And while I at first sought to avoid it, the logical answer as to who is Loki. The Trickster God plays well into the personality and abilities I see for the character. This also allows for extra wrinkles in how the character will view gods, tainted by the fact that most of her half-siblings are used as tools, even by fate.
So, would a child of Loki and Ratatoskr be acceptable? If you would prefer a less direct pairing, I could go with only Loki, but the character was raised by Ratatoskr before being brought to Themyscira.
Additionally, whether to start with or down the line, the character would be seeking to share secrets and gossip with the servents of the "Archenemy"
to elicit actions she would find useful, while doing the same to the demi-gods. Would this be alright?

I'm thinking of making Oskar begin to go blind in one eye, but as he does he is slowly becoming more connected to the magic in his veins. And, we're not even gonna talk about the hanging tree... yet.
