It's important to note that some popular ideas about Per stem from myths or exaggerations that have arisen over time. The preferences in the list above are based primarily on the recollections of people who knew him and on his documented behavior, so not everything said about him can be considered a proven fact.

Based on interviews, testimonies from people who knew him, and his known interests, Per Yngve Ohlin liked:

Nature, especially forests and secluded places. Walking alone for long periods.
Winter and cold weather. Crows and other birds associated with dark environments.
Cemeteries, for the tranquility he found in them. Extreme music, especially thrash metal and early black metal.
Rehearse and perfect your performances with Mayhem. Write lyrics and develop song ideas.
*Drawing and sketching occasionally.

• Reading about topics related to death, the occult, and horror (as an artistic interest, not necessarily as a belief).
  *Horror movies.
• Wear black and simple, worn-out clothes.
  Spend time alone. Observe the scenery and remain silent for long periods.
  Pay attention to the details of your stage presence, including corpse paint *.
• Animals, especially birds.

Although his public image was very dark, those who lived with him also mentioned that, in quiet moments, he could enjoy simple things like talking to someone he trusted, listening to music for hours, or going for a walk without a specific destination.

Per Yngve Ohlin was an extremely reserved and introverted person. He preferred silence to long conversations and rarely sought the spotlight offstage. Those who knew him described him as quiet, polite, and kind when he felt comfortable, though also very difficult to get to know because of how much he kept to himself.

He spent a lot of time lost in his own thoughts and tended to isolate himself from others. He wasn't particularly expressive with his emotions and found it difficult to form close bonds, but that didn't mean he was cold or aggressive. In fact, he could display a dry and unexpected sense of humor with people he trusted. He was very observant and usually analyzed what was happening around him before intervening.

She was also a perfectionist and deeply committed to her passions. She took music and the artistic image she wanted to project very seriously, dedicating a great deal of energy to creating an authentic atmosphere in both rehearsals and concerts. She had a vivid imagination and a very personal way of understanding art, which influenced her behavior and the way she expressed herself.

At the same time, he experienced significant mental health problems that profoundly affected his relationship with the world. Therefore, it is difficult to completely separate his personality from the difficulties he faced during that period of his life. Beyond his public image, those who knew him generally agree that he was a shy, quiet, sensitive, and complex young man, whose character was marked both by his reserved nature and by the personal struggles he endured.

Per Yngve Ohlin had a striking appearance, both for his extreme thinness and for the subdued air he exuded even when he wasn't trying to project any image. He was tall, with a slender, bony build, narrow shoulders, and long limbs that made his clothes hang loosely on him. His movements were usually slow and calm, almost silent, as if he were avoiding taking up more space than necessary.

Her skin was very fair, with a naturally pale tone that contrasted with her jet-black hair. She wore it long, completely straight, and usually uncombed, cascading over her shoulders and partially obscuring her face with tousled strands. This hair framed a long, slender face with delicate yet defined features: high cheekbones, a narrow jaw, and a straight nose that harmonized with the rest of her features.

Her eyes were deep blue with slightly droopy lids, giving them a tired and distant expression. She rarely smiled; her face was almost always serious, her thin lips barely parted or relaxed. When she fixed her gaze on someone, it was intense yet serene, without needing to speak to convey a presence that was hard to ignore.

His hands were large and thin, with long, bony fingers, while his arms and neck displayed the same physical fragility characteristic of his build. He usually wore black clothing, typically baggy T-shirts, tight pants, military boots, and worn leather or denim jackets. On stage, he completed his image with corpse paint , a black and white makeup that further exaggerated the pallor of his face and accentuated his sunken eyes and sharp features, becoming one of the most recognizable images of black metal in the late eighties and early nineties.
