Frigg

Frigg (sometimes anglicized as Frigga in other versions), is one of the Ásynjur (female Aesir) as well as the goddess of prophecy, marriage, motherhood and fertility. She is the wife of Odin and queen of Asgard.
== History ==
=== Death of Baldur ===
When her son, Baldur, received nightmares about his own death, Frigg travelled around the Nine Worlds. She had every thing in existence vow to never harm her son. However, she overlooked mistletoe, which she considered harmless.
Loki eventually got hold of this information. He killed Baldur by tricking his brother Hod into throwing a mistletoe dart at him.
== Appearance ==
In a disguise, Frigg appears as an old crone with rounded shoulders, a hunched back, and a craned head. She has a fuzzy, white-knit sweater, and a floppy hat which made it hard to see her face. One of her arms dangled with a bag stuffed with yarn and knitting needles. Frigg's appearance continually shifts, from a young woman's to an old crone's.
Without the disguise, Frigg is a middle-aged woman of regal beauty, her plaited-down hair as red as Mallory Keen's. Her eyes are white-and-gold, and her face is scored with faint scars like tears. She wears war helm of white metal, glowing and flickering like trapped neon gas. Her white dress was woven into gentle folds.
== Abilities ==
As queen of the Norse gods, Frigg possesses incredible and supreme power though not quite on par with her husband's. She is considered by many to be the true power and mind behind the throne.
* Hyetokinesis: As the goddess of rain, she has absolute and divine control over it, and was shown to be able to knit clouds.
* Persuasion: Frigg was able to convince all things to never harm Baldur, implying a persuasive nature. This is more then likely what makes her the power behind the throne.
* Advanced Intellect: Frigg is an incredible thinker, a facet of herself that plays heavy on her position as queen.
* Prophecy: As the goddess of prophecy, Frigg can see into the future. She is exceptionally clairvoyant, though she refuses to tell anyone of what she sees.
== Family ==
=== Immortal Children ===
=== Demigod Children ===
== Trivia ==
* Frigg never cried in her life except when Baldur died. She is destined to cry again at Ragnarök when her husband, Odin, gets eaten by the monstrous wolf Fenrir.
* She is the foremost goddess of the Æsir and often confused with Freya.
* Friday was named after either her or Freya.
* Both Freyja and Freyr (as well as Frigg) are associated with the Fehu Rune.
* She is rumoured to be an aspect of Jörð, the personification of the Earth and mother of Thor.
* Frigg is the first queen god to have an illegitimate child in the series.
* The word "Frigg" is believed to come from a root word meaning "beloved". That root word is also the source of English "friend" and Sanskrit "priya" (meaning "loved, favourite").
* Her Greco-Roman equivalent is Hera/Juno.
** However, unlike the queen of Olympus, she has demigod children.
* Like the Egyptian goddess Tefnut, she is a mother and a goddess of rain.
