## Biography

Axtar was born a few minutes before her twin brother, Ak, to a pair of respected Viking warriors: Aleifr and Yri Pikesson. She has two sisters, an older one named Asny, and a younger one named Anna.

Strife hit the Pikesson family when Asny ran away, causing a rift to form between the parents. As Aleifr spent time searching for Asny, Yri drew away from her family to learn from the reclusive elder wisewoman of the village. After Aleifr died on a search for Asny, Yri chose to abandon her family and name to become the new wisewoman after the previous one's death.

Axtar, Ak, and Anna were adopted by Clanless Jorgen, the tribe's best fighter. While Ak and Anna transitioned seamlessly, Axtar had seemingly endless clashes with Jorgen and his son, Asbjorn. Most of this stemmed from Axtar's unresolved issues with the way her family fell apart, yet she didn't want to give up the name Pikesson.

As a teenager, Axtar befriended the reclusive orphan girl from the village named Cazi Olsoren. Jorgen disapproved of the friendship, but Axtar did not listen to him and continued meeting Cazi in secret. Over the next few months, they became closer than before.

### In Between

After settling everything in her personal life, while Cazi works with her newfound bond with the dragon and her newly acquired magic, Axtar set her sights on becoming a warrior even greater than either of her parents. She decides to devote herself as a zealot to Thor. The acolytes judge her worthy due to her part in the storm dragon fight, so Axtar is inked with the runes of Thor and the tribe. After a few months, Axtar found herself being able to summon bursts of divine lightning with her weaponry.

### The Rest of It

According to Dworgyn Dullagan, Axtar would go on to be known as a champion of Thor known as the "Fist of Thor."

## Relationships

### Family

* Ak Pikesson: Axtar and Ak are twins, and therefore are very close. Although they fight a lot, they're rarely serious and they know they can rely on each other.
* Anna Pikesson: Axtar loves her little sister and is protective of her.
* Jorgen: Axtar and Jorgen, her adoptive father, often clashed at first due to their admittedly similar personalities. Both were often too hard-headed to properly voice their opinions. Axtar at first thought Jorgen was adopting her and her siblings as some sort of sympathy ploy and did not want to give up her name. Jorgen did not make her give up her name. Despite that, Axtar spent most of her teenage years rebelling against Jorgen. Their relationship worsened when Jorgen voiced his disapproval of her friendship with Cazi. Her dislike of him deepened when she learned of his unresolved issues with Asbjorn.However, after fighting the Skrill, Axtar and Jorgen actually voice their individuals feelings and opinions. Jorgen assures Axtar that he merely did not want her to be nameless like he was, but he could have gone about it better.
* Asbjorn Jorgensson: Axtar and her adoptive brother often clashed in the same way Axtar did with Jorgen. Asbjorn felt threatened by her and her siblings' arrival into the family, and Axtar did not appreciate his bad attitude. A begrudging respect grew between them as they got older. Asbjorn suggests that they get along for their sister's sake, and Axtar agreed. When she found out about the immense pressure Jorgen put on him, Axtar began to sympathize with him more. Their growing kinship almost fell apart, but solidified after dealing with the Skrill and the demon.

### Friends

* Cazi Olsoren: Cazi is Axtar's best friend and girlfriend. Axtar befriended her as a teenager. Because Jorgen disapproved of their friendship, Axtar and Cazi often met in their own secret place. Even after Cazi was accepted by Jorgen and the village, she and Axtar often returned to their secret place. Axtar is incredibly proud of everything Cazi does and loves to brag about her and support her. Their bond is so strong that Sparklebolt, Cazi's dragon, almost instantly trusted Axtar.
