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

## Overview: **Verðandi**

In Norse mythology, **Verðandi** (Old Norse, meaning possibly "happening" or "present"), sometimes anglicized as **Verdandi** or **Verthandi**, is one of the norns. Along with Urðr (Old Norse "fate") and Skuld (possibly "debt" or "future"), Verðandi makes up a trio of Norns that are described as deciding the fates (wyrd) of people.

## Appearance

Verdandi is a tall woman who is described as being incredibly beautiful by nearly everyone around her. She has long light-brown hair styled into two large bangs which frame the sides of her face, four thinner locks of hair branching out from the top of her head and curving downwards on either side like antennae and it is usually tied into a ponytail that runs down her back. She has bright blue eyes, described as the color of the clear, summer sky.

She has a youthful appearance and dark-blue triangular markings adorning her cheeks, with a thin diamond-shaped crest in the center of her forehead. Verdandi has a slim, yet shapely figure and creamy-light complexion.

### Clothes & Attires

Verdandi's typical attire is an elaborate gown, consisting of a white robe revealing her legs, a white shawl, and an outer blue garment with a gold triangular trim that drapes over her shoulders and wraps around her upper body. This article of clothing hangs loosely over her body like a jacket, and is joined in the front by a matching brooch. She wears a golden choker with rectangular ornaments hanging from her neckline, a pair of simple golden bracelets on her wrists, and blue fingerless gloves. She also wears heelless, open-toed, blue sandals.

While living on Earth, Verdandi changes her clothing to something more fitting with humans' current fashion trends. She is often seen wearing long summer dresses and other casual clothing. Her most common attire consists of a one-piece white dress with a blue trimming and long sleeves.

During her meeting with Magnus, Alex, and Samirah, she wore a simple white-and-gold dress with puffed sleeves, her hair styled into a bun and attached to a white veil, and placed upon her head was a gold crown adorned with blue gemstones. Magnus noted that Verdandi's shoes were made of gold and crystal, and wondered to himself if they were inspired by Cinderella's shoes or the opposite.

## Personality

Verdandi is a warm, cheerful, and exceptionally kind-hearted goddess who is always incredibly courteous and friendly towards everyone around her, even those who have caused harm to her in the past. Due to her status, she personally believes that she's unable to lie, even though she's never shown the inclination to do so, and as a result, she is very open and caring.

Above all else, Verdandi values the lives and happiness of the people around her much more than her own, and always desires to make everybody happy no matter what the cost is to herself. While many see this part of her personality as one of her more endearing qualities, it has also driven her to disregard her own feelings, thus making it difficult for her to voice her own thoughts when she believes it would cause strife for others. As a result, she is easily upset and incredibly fragile when experiencing negative emotions.

She always looks for the good in every person she meets, naturally expecting the best from those around her regardless of the situation. She greatly admires those who are genuine, honest, and kind-hearted, having fallen in love with Keiichi Morisato due to his possession of these very qualities. As such, she is very devoted to him to the point where she values his own life and safety before her own, and will do anything to help him regardless of the situations or any possible consequences.

Likewise, Keiichi returns these sentiments wholeheartedly. She expresses disdain whenever he belittles himself, instead seeing him for the wonderful person he is rather than his lackluster appearance or his less-than-impressive background.

Due to her tendency to hold in her negative feelings, she is prone to lose control of her powers during times of emotional instability. Verdandi shows disdain for herself during these times, especially when she becomes jealous of other women who become too close to Keiichi. At times like these she is often unable to voice her own feelings, her uncontrolled powers causing bizarre changes in the weather.

Despite her trusting and giving nature, she will stand up to anyone who belittles her friends and family, and fight back even against tougher enemies to protect the people around her.
