Kynda Helsi is a wolf and member of Salsola. She was the daughter of Siv Helsi and a foreign, unknown male, and younger half-sister to Draugr Helsi. She was a völva (witch-woman) known for exceptional leatherwork and talent as a falconer. Practically since birth Kynda was raised alongside Loki Helsi and Violeta Rose Soul, the children of her mother's mate Itachi Lykoi. The three remained close throughout childhood and maintained good, strong (if long-distance) relationships into adulthood.

Kynda lived at Fort Preble, Salsola's Portland Outpost with her mate Hugleikr Silfr, for a large portion of her life.

She regularly worked with her daughter, Reykja Helsi, who moved to the Outpost alongside her mate, and trained her and her younger daughters in the ways of the völva.

In April of 2024, Kynda passed away peacefully.

Her coloration is primarily a dark gray, nearly black along her upper half and pale around her cheeks and belly with silver ticking throughout her fur. She has gray legs and paws. When in her Optime form, Kynda has a short, asymmetrical bob cut.
