Urd

**Urd** is the Primordial Goddess of Destiny, History, and the Past from Norse Mythology. She is one of the Norns, the sister of Verdandi and Skuld. Together with her sisters, she resides in Urðarbrunnr and takes care of the World Tree Yggdrasil that connects the Nine Realms.

## Overview: **Urðr**

**Urðr** (Old Norse "fate") is one of the Norns in Norse mythology. Along with Verðandi (possibly "happening" or "present") and Skuld (possibly "debt" or "future"), Urðr makes up a trio of Norns that are described as deciding the fates of people. Urðr is attested in stanza 20 of the *Poetic Edda* poem *Völuspá* and the *Prose Edda* book *Gylfaginning*.

*Urðr* is together with the other Norns located at the well Urðarbrunnr beneath the world ash tree Yggdrasil of Asgard. They spin threads of life, cut marks in the pole figures and measure people's destinies, which shows the fate of all human beings and gods. Norns are always present when a child is born and decide its fate. The three Norns represent the past (Urðr), future (Skuld) and present (Verðandi).

*Urðr* is commonly written as **Urd** or **Urth**. In some English translations, her name is glossed with the Old English form of *urðr*; **Wyrd**.

## Appearance

Urd is a tall, voluptuous, and statuesque woman with dark-bronze skin. She has back-length silvery-gray hair that has waist-length hair strands hanging in the front, with part of it framing her face from the front while a part on her hairline reveals her forehead, sharp brown eyes, and large breasts. She has facial markings on her cheeks and forehead in the shape of solid, sharp, inverted triangles.

### Clothes & Attires

Urd's casual outfit is a form-fitting purple robe that reaches down to her ankles, with an opening on the side of her lower half to show off her left leg, and a large V-shaped opening in the front to reveal her ample cleavage and part of her midsection. Her shoulders are covered with two black straps of cloth patterned with gold triangular designs, branching off of a dark cape with a purple liner that flows down her back. She also wears matching arm-length gloves, black shoes, silver bracelets, and a black choker.

While living on Earth, Urd typically chooses clothing that reveals her cleavage and legs, one of her most common outfits consisting of a purple top revealing her belly button, and a form-fitting bottom that reveals her legs. While she often goes without shoes, she occasionally wears heels. Urd also favors revealing bikinis as her choice of swimsuit.

## Personality

Unlike Verdandi, Urd is very impulsive and headstrong, qualities which often cause her to act first without fully considering the consequences - A dangerous trait for a Goddess of Fate to possess.

She is also a constant meddler, seemingly unable to leave well enough alone. Because of this, Urd spends much of her time scheming ways to help others, many of which cause more trouble thanks to her lack of foresight. Her schemes often backfire, usually a result of her impulsive tendency to use raw power to solve a situation.

She is also quite short-tempered for a Goddess of Fate, and is rather quick to anger and easily pushed into a fight. Urd is also notable for her tendency to lie, something her sisters heavily frowned upon. In contrast, she often displays signs of being crafty and manipulative, and is more than willing to stretch the truth if needed to accomplish an objective.

However, despite her numerous flaws, she usually means well and will do anything to protect her loved ones. As the oldest Norn, Urd believes it's also her duty to look after Verdandi and Skuld. According to Keiichi, Urd can be seen as "an older sister, one that you can depend on".
