She also has special prophetic powers--she is a seer--but is reluctant to share them after a mishap years ago caused a big rift in a friendship that meant a lot to her. And Sif is determined to not let that happen again  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut when the mischievous Loki cuts her hair in a horrible prank gone wrong, Sif orders Loki to fix it.
