## Description

#### Appearance

Elsa is described as a thirty-two-year-old woman with blonde hair and blue-grey eyes. She's 182 centimeters tall and has an athletic build.

Elsa takes a lot of pride in her appearance and always makes an effort to look her best, even during missions. She has an expensive taste in clothing and is sometimes known to prioritize fashion over practicality, for example by wearing heels during hunts.

Because of her line of work, Elsa carries several scars and other faded marks of past injuries on her body- most notably the wound on her left shoulder she acquired following the attack of the Skeljaskrímsli.

## Biography

#### **Early Life (1987-2008)**

Elsa was born in Reykjavík on the 30th of March, 1987 to an Icelandic mother and an American father. She was raised in Minnesota, US.

Elsa's father was a part of The United States Armed Forces and Elsa followed in his footsteps when she joined the US Navy in 2006. Elsa was transferred to a base in Iceland in 2008 upon request.

In the 2020 Halloween One-Shot, Ragnar mentions that Elsa had a "rough childhood". It is implied that Elsa's father was abusive and disapproved of her homosexuality.

#### **Næturverðirnir (2008-2013)**

During a late night patrol in 2008, Elsa and her squad-partner Ólafur Bjarkason were attacked by a Skeljaskrímsli. They were saved by a pair of Næturvaktir (Nightwatchers)- members of the Icelandic supernatural guard- who killed the monster and rescued Elsa and Ólafur. Elsa got away relatively unscathed, while Ólafur later passed away from injuries.

Elsa transferred to the Nightwatch later the same year. During her work with the Nightwatch she was in a long-term relationship with fellow guardsmember Anong Árnadóttir, whom she later married. Elsa remained with the force for almost five years, up until the death of Anong. After some time off, she then transferred to her current employer: ÆGIS.

The 2020 Halloween One-Shot, which takes place in 2015, about two years after Elsa's departure, gives a lot of details to her time in the Nightwatch- particularly her relationship with Unit Odin. It is mentioned that Elsa changed her surname to Ragnarsdóttir in tribute to Ragnar, quoting that he was more of a father than her biological one ever was. It is also revealed that Anong died while on a mission and it was following her passing that Elsa left the Nightwatch.

#### **ÆGIS (2013-2015)**

Little is known about Elsa's time with the ÆGIS prior to the

#### **Port Dawson (2015-2017)**

In mid-2015, an ÆGIS agent stationed in Greenland was murdered. It was suspected that the murderer was an Angakkuq. Therefore, in September 2015 Elsa was assigned to a mission in Northwestern Canada aiming to study the Angakkuit. It was because of this mission she eventually ended up in Labrador and met local hunter Caspian Fray, who led her to Port Dawson.

In Port Dawson Elsa met 17-year-old angakkuq Sesi Qinnuayuak. The agent attempted an undercover reconnaissance mission, but eventually decided to reveal her intentions. She struck a deal where Sesi agreed to provide ÆGIS with information in return with financial aid, training etc., much to the chagrin of her older sister and ward- Naja Qinnuayuak.

After having run into each other during a hunt, Elsa befriends local hunter Mikhail Zakharov. Together with a reluctant Naja, they form a small monster hunting team (sometimes referred to as the Dawson Trio), working in connection with Caspian's circle of hunters.

#### **Operation Yggdrasil (2017-2018)**

Elsa joined Operation Yggdrasil sometime in June 2017 and participated until it was concluded on the September 2nd, 2018.

#### **Liason Agent (2018-2019)**

After Operation Yggdrasil, Elsa was promoted to Liason Agent and stationed in Toronto. She remained there for roughly 6 months, doing various work for ÆGIS in the region.

#### **Current Events (2019-)**

Elsa returned to Port Dawson in late April, 2019, on a mission to investigate Magnus' iceberg.

## Relationships

### Mikhail Zakharov

Mikhail and Elsa first bumped into each other when they were hunting the same monster; an Icelandic sea serpent. Their initial meeting was awkward, but they eventually ended up teaming up and fighting the monster together. They've been fond friends ever since.

Mikhail started bringing along Elsa to his and Naja's hunts, and is often given some credit for bringing them together.

Mikhail was the only person in Port Dawson Elsa remained in steady contact with after leaving the town in 2017. He was also the only person she contacted when she returned to investigate Magnus' iceberg.

### Naja Qinnuayuak

Naja and Elsa were initially on bad terms as Naja mistrusted the agent's reason for coming to Port Dawson, and especially her contact with Sesi. Their relationship further soured after Elsa had revealed herself to be with ÆGIS and tasked to investigate Sesi's powers.

As Sesi and Elsa's relationship steadily progressed and as Mikhail started bringing both of them hunting together, Naja eventually started warming up to Elsa. The two of them started going out together sometime in early 2016 and remained together for more than a year, until Elsa's mission concluded and she was called back to Norway to work on Operation Yggdrasil. The two break up. Naja was angered by Elsa's decision to leave and cut all contact.

When Elsa returns to Port Dawson to investigate Magnus' iceberg, Naja is still angry with Elsa for the way their relationship ended.

### Sesi Qinnuayuak

Sesi and Elsa have a close relationship. Despite being saddened by her leave, Sesi never expressed any bad blood towards Elsa for the way things ended and was overjoyed when she returned.

### Nightwatch

Elsa developed a lot of close relations with members of the Icelandic Nightwatch during her time in Unit Odin. Most notably, she was married to fellow Unit Odin agent Anong Árnadóttir until the latter passed away in 2013.

The 2020 Halloween Special gives some insight into Elsa's relationship with Unit Odin. We learn that she and Ragnar Guðmundsson, whom she regarded as a father figure, still remain in contact. It is also mentioned that she remained a close friend of fellow team members Hafi and Jón after her transfer.

In the 2021 Halloween Special, it is mentioned that agent Jóhann Ásmundsson keeps a picture of him, Elsa and Anong on his desk. When prompted by Óskar, he mentions that the three of them were best friends and that he considered transferring to ÆGIS with Elsa after Anong's death. It is suggested that the two of them are no longer in contact.

## Moves

**Professional Base Move**

When you deal with the Agency, requesting help or gear, or making excuses for a failure, roll +Sharp. On a 10+, you’re good—your request for gear or personnel is okayed, or your slip-up goes unnoticed. On a 7-9, things aren’t so great. You might get chewed out by your superiors and there’ll be fallout, but you get what you need for the job. On a miss, you screwed up: you might be suspended or under investigation, or just in the doghouse. You certainly aren’t going to get any help until you sort it all out.

**Mobility**

You have a truck, van, or car built for monster hunting. Choose two good things and one bad thing about it.

+ Surveillance Gear

+ Roomy
