**Balder Hringhorni** is the God of Light, but also has the potential to be the God of Destruction.

## Appearance

In his God form, his hair turns completely white. He also has a light green veil on his head. His clothes are many layers on each other, like a sort of dress. He also has a white belt to fit it. His eyes turn gold. But when Balder is in his god form, he can't control himself. That's why his consciousness to reality fades, not only in his attitude but also in his eyes. However, if his emotions are calm, he can still maintain his god form without losing control. After Loki uses Iduna's sword on him, the God of destruction's power within him is tamed, and he is now able to control himself entirely.

## Personality

Balder is a cheerful god, who attracts a lot of people because he is the god of light. He often trips where there is nothing to be tripped on. He absolutely loves meat and will eat it for every meal if he could. Balder has a carnivorous personality and is very forward when it comes to making his advances on Hela. He cannot be harmed by any object because his mother made a pact with all objects on earth not to harm him. He is said to be very naïve and direct.

He is shown to be very possessive as well, disliking it whenever Hela spends time with or gives affection to someone who's not him. He gets annoyed and hurt whenever Hela doesn't understand his advances, also becoming extremely (almost insanely) jealous whenever he believes that Hela might love someone else (namely Loki). He declares that he won't allow anyone else to have her, almost attacking her at one point. The thought that his love, while sincere and pure, would not be returned drives him to the brink of madness, but he is able to come out of it thanks to Loki. Afterwards, he apologizes to Hela and agrees to slow things down.

## History

Balder, who is the god of light, was always protected by his mother that made everything unable to kill him. She wanted to protect him until the very end, but she knew that wouldn't happen. Thus she made a pact with all objects of the world not to harm him, except for Mistletoe, which is the only thing that can harm him besides himself. Balder has a strong friendship with Loki and Thor since young, and cares very much for the both of them.

## Relationships

### Friends:

#### Loki Laevatein

Loki is Balder's best friend. The two of them have been close since childhood, even though they are complete opposites in almost every way. Balder is tolerant of Loki's mischievous ways, and is very forgiving towards him. Until being brought to the garden, there was no one Balder felt closer to.

However, meeting Hela, a goddess who accepted him as he was and was immune to his powers, changed that. And Loki's efforts to separate them only drove a wedge between him and Balder. Balder even grew jealous of Loki for a time, believing that Hela was in love with him and vice versa. However, their relationship was repaired, thanks to Loki opening up to Hela.

Balder trusts Loki enough to allow him to make the decision to destroy him for his own good.

#### Thor Megingyoruzu

Thor cares very much for Balder as a brother and childhood friend, and doesn't want to see him succumb to his dark fate.

### Romances:

#### Hela Kvichsky

Balder has been curious about Hela since their first meeting, as his powers didn't work on her. As time passed he only grew more fond of her. He even said to Loki that Hela was special to him, and that being with her "warmed his heart and made it dance."

He takes an immediate liking to her, and enjoys spending time with her. He is also protective of her, and sees her as a fragile thing, often becoming distressed whenever something small happens to her. He is also extremely possessive of her, disliking it when she shows affection to or spends time with the other gods. However, his love for her caused his feelings to rage out of control, pushing him to act violent and rashly. He becomes jealous very easily, and grew furious whenever he believed that she was in love with Loki, almost attacking her at one point. However, once Loki brings him out of this, he apologizes to her, and agrees to slow down and be more considerate of her feelings. Still, he remains clingy.
