Sigrún

**Sigrún** is the Valkyrie Queen introduced in The Reggiesworld Trilogy. She is one of the nine Valkyries who have been cursed by Odin to remain in a corporal form, eventually driving them to insanity. Although the incredible amount of power she possesses allowed her to resist much longer than her sisters, she inevitably lost herself as well. She is nevertheless freed by Kratos and Atreus after they engaged and defeated her physical form in a long and difficult battle. Blessing them with her eternal gratitude, her spirit vanished and eventually reunited with her sisters.

Sigrún returns in At *Ragnarök* as a **Shield Maiden**, having regained a pure physical form thanks to Freya and her Vanir magic. Grateful for having been freed from Odin's curse, acknowledging Kratos as her General and Freya as the Valkyrie Queen, she actively participates together with her freed sisters to the final assault against Asgard during Ragnarök. Her formidable skills in combat undoubtely helped Kratos and his troops secure their victory over the Asgardians.

## Biography

### Early Life

Before becoming a Valkyrie, Sigrún was once a princess in the Midgardian kingdom of Fjöturlund where she was born and raised by her father King Högni and his queen. In her youth, a king named Helgi offered his hand to her in marriage. However, King Högni, who knew of Helgi's true nature, refused to let him marry his daughter. Taking this as a slight, Helgi angrily responded by invading Fjöturlund in an attempt to claim Sigrún by force. On the mad king's orders, his soldiers sacked the kingdom and killed anyone who would dare oppose Helgi's supposed union. During the sacking, most of Sigrún's family, including her parents, were killed leaving only her brother Prince Dagr. When he avenged the death of his family by impaling Helgi with his spear, Sigrún, who loved the mad king, and not knowing that he had massacred her family, proceeded to put a curse on Dagr. However, when she finally realized of that her lover had killed her family, it was already too late.

### Becoming a Valkyrie

Sigrún bitterly regretted on having cursed her own brother, and in attempt to seek redemption, she immediately joined the Valkyries so she may atone for her actions. Before becoming the Valkyrie Queen, Sigrún served under the previous queen, Freya, and like her other sisters she revered her. However, after Freya's marriage with Odin ended bitterly, the Allfather severed Freya's wings and banished her to Midgard.

### Being corrupted

Sigrún was then named the Valkyrie Queen, but without Freya they were without freedom, as Odin saw them as mere servants. Ultimately, Odin cursed Sigrún and her sisters to remain in physical forms which would corrupt them and cause them to do terrible harm. To protect her sisters, Sigrún imprisoned each Valkryie in several places, with some in other realms. She would eventually fall to the same curse as her sisters did. Mimir mentioned, as during his imprisonment, Sigrún came to visit him. He then noted that not only she was in physical form, she was volatile in personality, being prone to fits of aggression. When Mimir tried to talk to her about it, Sigrún wouldn't listen and just bid him goodbye. Thus without Sigrún and the Valkyries, the dead began to overwhelm the realm of Helheim.

### Saving

Kratos, Atreus, and Mimir battle each of the Valkyries, piecing together what could have happened to them. After defeating eight of the Valkyries and finding their way to the Throne of Eight, they were able to force Sigrún to appear and face her in battle. After a perilous struggle, Kratos and Atreus defeated Sigrún and freed her spirit. There she reveals Odin's role in the Valkyries' troubles and thanks them for freeing her and her sisters. Now she aims to continue her duty in leading her sisters to bring the worthy dead to Valhalla.

### Ragnarök

At one point after freed by Kratos, Atreus, and Mimir, Sigrún was succeeded by Gná after she and her sisters-in-arms decided to defect the All-Father and go into hiding in Vanaheim. She would later help Freya in regaining her Valkyrie wings, as well as her warrior spirit.

Sigrún is found again by Freya, and thanks to some Vanir magic, she and her sisters were reincarnated in new physical forms which prevented from being corrupted again. The day before the invasion of Asgard, at Tyr's Bridge, she asked to be alone with Mimir in case if she would later die in battle. The next day, Sigrún was present in the Realm Travel Room of the temple when Kratos blew into the Gjallarhorn in order to access Asgard. During the final battle, she along with her sisters attacked the godly home of the Aesir in which they would also server the Einherjar's link to Valhalla. Later, in the aftermath Ragnarök, Sigrún was among the survivors in Midgard, along with Atreus, Eir, and the rest of the valkyries.

## Powers and Abilities

As the Queen of the Valkyries, Sigrún holds tremendous levels of power and battle might, far surpassing the other Valkyries (as noted by Mimir) and possibly being rivaled and surpassed only by Freya, the true Queen of the Valkyries. Sigrún's surpassing strength allowed her to overpower and lock away the other Valkyries into Odin's hidden chambers.

Sigrún holds tremendous levels of superhuman strength and durability and is exceptionally skilled in using her scythe, allowing her to take extreme punishment from Kratos and Atreus for an extended period of time to a much greater degree than the other Valkyries before being defeated, and can go blow-to-blow with, and even pin down Kratos, who had to put in considerable effort to break out.

Having the powers of all the Valkyries, but to a much greater degree, as well as her own unique powers, Sigrún is able to effectively combine and perform them in quick succession, allowing her to effectively keep Kratos and Atreus from predicting her next move.

## Appearance

Sigrun's face is never shown, she always wears her golden valkyrie helmet which has a dragon as its symbolic animal, she has a slim and curvaceous figure, her skin is pale blue in color and gold metal armor and wings.

### Ragnarök

When Freya resurrected her with seidr magic, her appearance did not change that much, her armor covered her body more and had red and gold colors, she kept her same Valkyrie helmet but her wings are organic and smaller, similar to those of a real bird which they are reddish brown with white tips.

## Personality

Sigrun is a very faithful and honorable person to her family, her Valkyrie sisters and especially to Freya, after Freya divorced Odin and he banished her from Asgard, Sigrun reluctantly agreed to take the mantle of queen and did everything possible to serve Odin, after Odin cursed her and her sisters, he had no choice but to lock them up so that they would not cause any harm, but the curse ended up affecting her and she had no choice but to isolate herself, the lockdown and the curse they turned into a being full of anger and thirsty for blood.

Mimir said that she and he had a very close relationship, in fact they were lovers and they loved each other very much, but after mimir was imprisoned she had to leave him to avoid making Odin angry, but despite everything she still loves hi
