In the attested account Kadlu is described as having been a noisy child; her parents sent her to play outside, and there she and her sisters invented a 'stormy game' whose actions produce weather. The three sisters live together in a large house supported by whalebone ribs and together generate elements of storms.
The source provides no anthropomorphic or physical description of Kadlu herself. It states only that she and her sisters live in a large house supported by whalebone ribs.
Kadlu's primary function is to produce thunder. The cited account gives her thunder-making actions as jumping on hollow ice, singing, or rubbing together dried seal skins. She acts in concert with two sisters: Kweetoo, who creates lightning by rubbing stones against each other, and Ignirtoq, who strikes stones together and urinates profusely to make rain.
