Most stories dealing with Hel show her much like Hades. Both stay out of mortal affairs the most out of the main deities. Also both just do their jobs without much complaint. In fact in one tail, when Oden gives Hel Helheim to rule over she thanks him for his generosity. From what little survives of Norse literature Hel doesn't feature in many stories but in the few she is in she is largely indifferent. Infact, the only tail she is prominently in is the Death of Baldur. Out of Loki's children she mainly is content to stay in her realm and place the dead in storage. Another interesting fact is that Hel means "hidden". Fitting for both the goddess and her realm as the underworld is hidden and the dead are often hidden by being buried beneath the ground. Some have speculated that Hel is a late adition to Norse myth, and is a literary personification of the grave instead of a goddess who was worshipped in her own right.

Loki is shapeshifter and he could transform into literally everyone, even changing genders (he transformed into woman called Thokk who didn't cry for Baldur when he died and so he stayed in Hel until Ragnarok). Children naturally inherit traits from their parents, and perhaps Norsemen went by this logic that, if Loki's form is changeable, then his children might've been random-looking too.

I once read a tale where the All-Father sees that the mistreatment of Loki and his Children will usher in Ragnarok. So, Odin actively tries to prevent this from happening. One way was to make Loki his blood brother, hoping that the Aesir would respect that bond. What he eventually comes to realize is that Ragnarok is an eternal cycle, with COUNTLESS Ragnaroks occurring consecutively, where (dependent on one's vantage point) Loki is justified in his trickery as "revenge" for his treatment in the previous cycles. The Wanderer then accepts that these are events that cannot be changed, as the Norns are the only ones truly in control of the Universe.

What frustrates me the most is that some Norse pagans still treat Loki's brood as devilish creatures when that is far from the case. The story of Fenrir clearly demonstrates the gods as villains and the Great Wolf as a victim of betrayal - except Tyr - who fulfilled his oath much to his dismay because of the gods trickery. People get upset when I tell them Odin/Othin is a genocidal maniac who comes across as a villain in many of the stories. I have nothing against Odin, but we cannot exalt him as something he is not. Odin doomed himself because of his paranoid delusions by turning Fenrir into an enemy, irrespective of the Norns vague "prophecy". It's the reason why Fenrir makes a beeline for Odin during Ragnarok as he was the mastermind behind Fenrir's imprisonment.
