## Appearance

Boon is above average height and has a stocky, muscular build. They have a wavy, ashy-blonde pixie cut with wispy sideburns. They have gray eyes, that change with the light. They have fairly androgynous features and constantly has a smug grin except for when they're nervous, which is often. When they're nervous they tends to scratch the back of their head as a tick. The top of their head features two large spiraling, pale white ram horns

### Everyday outfit

In their day to day style Boon rocks a lot of button downs and flannel shirts, both because of their general butch aesthetic, but also because their horns make it hard to put on anything other than things that button. They tend to wear tight fitting jeans, slacks, or shorts most of the time and usually has a pair of aviators in their shirt pocket or resting on their head. They've got tattoos on both arms, one used to be a depiction of a Baphomet head and pentagram but has since mysteriously shifted to a star and a Roman numeral XVII, the other formally depicted a "Dead Man's Hand" but has mysteriously changed to portray a royal flush.

### Hero costume

Their old hero costume consisted of leather pants with flexible nylon seems for maneuverability, a Victorian style tailed tuxedo jacket lined with black feathers on the inside, a purple dress shirt with an undone tie (either a skinny neck-tie or a bow-tie depending on what they're feeling), a black feathered masquerade mask, and a leather utility belt with pouches for chalk, magical reagents, tarot cards, dice, candles, cigarettes, and small chunks of metal for use as a telekinetic weapon.

Since taking over their mantle as a Valkyrie Friðr has a suit of platemail armor with gold and white accents. It is sleeveless but features heavy gauntlets. They wear a faceplate one would normally associate with a Valkyrie but it does not feature any wings due to their horns. They wield an ornate spear and a circular metal shield. When their "Cloak of Feathers" ability is active the armor takes on feathered motifs around the joints.

## Powers

*Healing-* During the events of Season 4 Episode 8 Boon destroyed a piece of her soul for the use of divine healing abilities. This allowed her to restore Lightshow's vision as well as giving her access to the rest of her powers. t is difficult for her to perform and requires complex rituals and rare reagents unless it is being powered by her Valkyrie armor.

*Flight-* After vanquishing Sapphomet Boon mysteriously acquired the ability to summon a spectral feathery cloak capable of granting flight. They have assumed this to be a gift from one half of their patronship, the Norse Goddess Freya.

*Illusions-* Boon was given a replica of Odin's spear, Gungnir by Gwendolyn du Lac. The runes on its blade strengthen their connection to Odin and allow them to use minor illusive powers, much like the deceitful all-father himself.

*Godlike Beauty-* Being accepted as a provisional Valkyrie, a servant to the Norse Gods, has it's perks. namely, they have an air of otherworldly beauty. It can be quite distracting and can be used to sway crowds.

*Mythic Might-* Boon is extremely strong, both with and without powers. Before regaining their powers they were about on the level of a real life power lifter, but upon regaining their strength is capable of Herculean feats of strength. They are capable of shirking off damage and pushing their muscles past human limitations using their restorative abilities.

*Super Speed-* While not quite a speedster in their own right Boon is capable of short bursts of extreme speed. Using gungnir they are able to augment her speed with illusive properties, making it look as if they've disappeared and reappeared in a conspiracy of ravens. They are also capable of flying at hihg speeds.

## Background

### Childhood

Boon grew up with their mother, a medium, and father, a gambler; near Savannah Georgia. They were an only child and didn't have many friends growing up but found solace in the sport of roller derby which allowed them to connect with strong queer women even in a rather sparse part of the US.

### Pre-abilities

About a year prior to joining the Big Team Boon's father was mysteriously killed. Shortly thereafter Boon began having dreams about a mysterious demon-woman who claimed to have the key to avenging their father's murder. As it turns out Boon's father was the original host of Sapphomet, who wants to use Boon as a vessel through which she can get revenge. The only problem is that her memory was a bit hazy and all that she remembered about Boon's fathers' killer is that she was a mysterious swords-woman who Boon later learned to be Yamato.

### Joining the Big Team

Boon headed off to Halcyon city where their father was when he was killed, in hopes of finding his killer. They told their mother that they were going there to pursue their education and learn to be a musician; and enrolled in Big High to keep appearances. They hadn't told her mother about their doom, however.

Upon arriving in Halcyon City Boon was quickly thrust into trouble as they helped defend the school from a villain with the help of Phalanx, Permafrost, and Jawbreaker; and then almost immediately after fought dinosaurs in a pool hall parking lot with the same crew. During this encounter they caused Godspeed to land face-first into asphalt and found this hilarious. It was after this encounter that they were invited to the Big Team.

### Sapphomet Era

Boon struggles with their infernal patron and often found themself losing control and injuring people against their will as they struggled to control the vicious force within their own mind. However with the help of their friends, mostly Ernest, Atlanta, and Gwen, they were able to survive and continue trying to be a hero despite the circumstance. Eventually Sapphomet changed a lot of their memories, setting them back in their internal struggle to move past the need for Sapphomet. Boon of course figured out what happened eventually and began plotting to rid themself of Sapphomet. This came to a head when Boon managed to seal her in Helheim with the help of her now girlfriend Atlanta, as well as Ernest, Carmilla, and Ellen.

### Valkyrie Era

After defeating Sapphomet Boon was gifted the Cloak of Feathers by Freya and was accepted as a successor by their mother. She's nowhere near as tough as she was with Sapphomet, but is determined to prove their worth and uphold their legacies principles of Frith.

## Relationships

### Family

Maggie Ostenberg
Boon's only surviving parent and an active superhero in Halcyon City known as "The Valkyrie". Maggie has been training her child to take on her mantle after seeing the promise they showed in vanquishing their demon. She shows a lot of tough love but cares deeply for her child and wants them to be the best version of themself.

Eric Ostenberg **(deceased)**

Boon's father, who was in Halcyon City for a few years before his alleged death at the hands of Yamato. Neither Yamato nor Sapphomet will elaborate much on what Eric was doing in Halcyon but Yamato has stated that he had luck manipulation powers and hinted that he was working for her. More recently they found out that Eric was responsible for the death of Adult Ellen's partner, souring their opinion of him. In the interest of closure however they wish they could talk to Yamato about what happened.

**Brimstone**

Huggable and pettable. Boon's trusty canine companion :)

### PC's

**Gwen**

Awkwardly complimented her within seconds of meeting her. From there they developed a massive crush on Gwen, not realizing she was already dating Rekken. They finally worked up the courage to ask Gwen out but was kindly rejected. That same night the two traveled to Boon's cabin to confront Sapphomet, leading to Gwen learning about Yamato's involvement in Eric Ostenberg's death, as well as clues towards them working together prior to his death. Later on Boon's memories of Gwen were altered, leading to a lack of trust between the two.

**Verve**

Boon and Atlanta are a power couple and Boon loves their girlfriend very much. But they have a bit of an issue with subtlty and has caused strife by nearly revealing her identity as Verve.

**The Weatherman**

Boon thinks Ernest is a soft, sweet boy who must be protected at all costs. They had trouble communicating with him at one point due to a feud between him and Atlanta but generally wants to see that Ernest is doing okay.

**Eclipse**
Aman is one of Boon's close friends. The two have recently bantered to each other about their respective relationships and share an almost fraternal bond with each other.

### NPC's

Yamato

Yamato tried to convince Boon that Sapphomet was not to be trusted and helped Boon overcome her influence during the events of Gambite's attack on the Big Base. Yamato has unsuccessfully attempted to recruit Boon into Gambite. More recently she has promised to tell Boon more about her Dad if she ever sees her again.

Sapphomet

Sapphomet, previously known as Norn, was the source of Eric Ostenberg's luck manipulation powers up until the event of his death. She inhabited Boon afterwards and tried to drive them to kill Yamato and claim their father's soul for her, but was defeated and sealed in the Norse underworld Helheim.
