==Profile==
===Background===
Lagertha is a (shield-maiden), a woman warrior, and the ex-wife of Ragnar Lodbrok. Her name is known far and wide, a fame on par with the Amazons of Greece. She takes great pride in sharing the title of skjaldmær with the Valkyries that once soared through the skies during the Age of Gods.
Marriage held no appeal to Lagertha. She would send her suitors out on absurd challenges, knowing they would fail. Ragnar was the only one who ever succeeded;Fate/Lost Einherjar - Aslaug of the Aurora Volume 1: The Doubles Subcategory Holy Grail War - Interlude I she sent bears and wolves after Ragnar to test him. With Ragnar's success the two were married, but Lagertha eventually left to embrace the path of the warrior, as she did not want to stay at home as a housewife.
Lagertha and Ragnar parted ways, and Lagertha embarked on a journey to distant lands. There she met another man, the chieftain of a clan, and married him as her second husband, but eventually he proved to be a weakling and she left him too. Since then, Lagertha became the chieftain of her own clan.

Having been told by Bragi that Ragnar planned to marry another woman, Lagertha came to see her for herself. She became fond of Aslaug while talking with her over dinner. When Bragi told her that Aslaug was the daughter of the legendary heroes Sigurd and Brynhildr, Lagertha's warrior expression was replaced with wide-eyed childlike wonder.

===Creation and Conception===
Lagertha is designed by Shirow Miwa. Miwa had previously worked for Type-Moon as the illustrator for Sigurd and Brynhildr in Fate/Grand Order, but he had also secretly designed other Norse characters including Lagertha as fan art on his own time, not as something Type-Moon asked him to do.Shirow Miwa Twitter 5:34 PM (JST) · Aug 21, 2020 He eventually submitted the designs for approval after seeing how Columbus Lily had also started as fan art,Shirow Miwa Twitter 6:41 PM (JST) · Sept 15, 2021 which led to the development of Fate:Lost Einherjar and the designs being canonized.Shirow Miwa Twitter 1:55 PM (JST) · Apr 13, 2022
The Romancia:Aurora art book stated that Lagertha was Ragnar's first wife, but in Fate:Lost Einherjar itself she is called his second wife. Romancia:Aurora was written before Fate:Lost Einherjar's setting was completely finalized, so some things in it were changed by the time Lost Einherjar was published.Shirow Miwa Twitter 6:25 PM (JST) · December 31, 2022
