First wife of the reckless hero Lemminkainen; the fairest maiden of the island of Saari, courted by all yet heeding no suitor until Lemminkainen carried her off by force (Runo 11). The pair swore mutual vows that he would not go to war if she would not go to the dances; when she broke her vow and went to the village dances, Lemminkainen voided his own and set off for Pohjola, launching the Pohjola adventures (Runo 12). She is the canonical bride-capture wife of the Lemminkainen-cycle. Wired as spouse of finnish_lemminkainen.
