**Halla** (Aka Hal) is a young gryfess who appeared at the end of *By the Silver Wind* as a kit. She is the daughter of Kenna and Halvden.

## Information

### Description

Halla is a jade green gryfess with violet wings she got from her mother, pale lion haunches and tawny gold eyes.

### Personality

Halla is a kind yet daring gryfess who encourages her wingsister to
have faith in herself. Halla is occasionally shown to have inherited her father's arrogance but has Kenna's cool and proud demeanor. While Halla values honor, she believes that sometimes it's okay to use underhanded tactics to achieve a goal; Something Ren has trouble believing.

### Role

Halla appears in *Beneath the Windward Sun* as one of Stigr's students.
As an Adult she plays a major role in assisting her wingsister, Ren who's 2 years her junior. She also attempts to encourage Ren to sometimes use methods that would normally be considered dishonorable arguing not to be such a stickler.

## History

### In ***The Summer King Chronicles Arc***

#### *By The Silver Wind*

Halla appears at the end of the book during the Daynight when she is playing with the other gryfon kits of her year such as Kvasir and Eyvindr. She listens to Frar's stories of past Daynights.

### In the Short Stories

#### *Beneath the Windward Sun*

Halla appears as one of Stigr's students. She wants to serve in the guard, rather than be a huntress. When Stigr asks her why, she says that it's because her father believes that when you suffer a major injury, you will grow stronger.

### *The Halfblood Queen*

As Kjorn leads his band to the Dawn Spire, Halvden is showed to be carrying Halla in his talons as he flies alongside his mate.

### *Rise of the Dragon Star*

As Ren examines the canyon walls, she mentally notes how Halla is the only Griffin who is interested in her findings. After Ren is banished, she runs into Halla and informs the latter about the failure of her hunt. Later, Halla arranges a meeting between Siva and Kenna in order to buy Ren time to recover the stone she had found during her hunt. Halla attends Greatmeet with Ren the following day.

## Trivia

* Halla's name is Old Norse for "stone/slab" and is the feminine equivalent of Hallr.
	+ This was Intentional on Halvden’s part as Halla was named in honor of her grandfather.
* As both of Halla's parents are half-bloods, she could possibly be a half-blood as well. However, like Thyra, Kenna could possibly be half Lakelander rather than Aesir, which would make Halla a Quarter-blood.
* Halla's gender was originally unknown before being confirmed in *Beneath the Windward Sun*.
* She, along with Eyvindr, Salvi and Kvasir are Battle Born.
* She is the fourth (possibly fifth) gryfon with a nickname. The others are Rashard (Shard), Rowan (her true name is unknown), possibly Mist, and Lar.
	+ If you count Ragna (White Witch) and Embra (Firewing) than Halla is the sixed (Possibly seventh) Griffon with a Nickname.

### Notes

**^** In *Beneath the Windward Sun*, Stigr called Halla and Kvasir quarterbloods. However, there is no evidence that Halla is a quarterblood yet (Halvden is a Vanir/Aesir half-blood while Kenna is only known to be half-Vanir. Kenna could possibly be half-Lakelander or half-Vanhar, which would make Halla a quarter-blood).
