A/N So, I wrote this for school. It's supposed to be an "analysis of aspects of a flaw in a character in literature".
I will let you know, the drabbles are from the viewpoints of others. That is, someone (or ones) who don't know Loki personally. People who judge from afar. Probably Asgardians, but it could be anyone.
Enjoy!
Notorious Liar: Loki can't fool anyone any more. That's not to say people don't fall for his deceptions, it only means everyone expects it now. Loki has such a long history of falsification, that most agree he started moments after birth, though, if you believe the rumors, Frigga might not even be the poor soul who birthed him. Every word he utters is analyzed from twenty different angles, and no one believes anything he says without proof he isn't lying. Being notorious means he can speak truth, painful truth, about himself ... and no one listens.

Incorrigible Liar: Anyone who met Loki would agree, he is beyond salvation. He has fabricated too much, caused great harm. Thor might try futilely to reach him, but Loki is impervious to correction. He might be caught again and again, but he cannot be reformed. The God of Mischief will continue to run headfirst into a path of pain and unhappiness, regardless of anything or anyone, he never stops. His lying is almost a disease. Telling untruths is as customary as washing in the morning.
*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
Consummate Liar: Even though it is widely acknowledged that Loki is a Liar, he still seems to trap people. A master of the "art", he is indeed. In fact, out of his mouth, lying is an art. No one can outdo him. Loki can seduce an unwary listener into believing that blue is red, and the prey will question why they ever thought that the sky was blue. His lying is crowned with more successes than failures, and the only reason you even remember his failings are because they are so spectacular.
*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
Unconscionable Liar: The God of Lies has no conscience. Not even the slightest twinge of guilt hurts his heart. Misery can come in waves over his victims, but his pale face will remain cold and stoic. He can cry and beg all he wants, but we all know what he is really like. And danger like that cannot be allowed to continue.
*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
Glib Liar: Loki is called Silvertongue for a reason. He distorts facts as easily as breathing. But ironically, his very smoothness is what often gives him away; his answers are too quick to be true. The fluent flowing words he spouts are shallow and insincere. It is doubtful Loki has ever been candid, even as a child.
*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
Egregious Liar: His lies are vicious, cold, calculated, and warped. At best, if he is caught, he only suffers humiliation. At worst, Loki's lies are so harmful that people gasp in disgust at seeing them brought to light. Lies are bad, but his lies are worse. They conspicuously stand out.
*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
Loki is a liar. The only question now, is, "Why?"
