**Kjerstin Henderson** is the 18-year-old daughter of a Valkyrie. She is currently attending her final/senior year at Monster High School and will be attending Monster University following graduating.

The result of a one-night stand, Kjerstin has never been close to her mother and never had a good relationship wit her. At the age of fourteen, Kjerstin left home and traveled down to Earth where she could become who she wanted to be, but possibly, find her father.

## Characteristics

### Personality & traits

How are they like? Character Strengths? Weaknesses?

### Physical appearance

Kjerstin doesn't look much like her Valkyrie mother, having inherited most of her physical looks from her mysterious father. She has long, mid-back-length jet black hair with various lighter shades of black streaks, and silver-highlights, rich, dark eyes, with an olive-skin tone. Despite not really wanting to do anything with her heritage, Kjerstin wears a lot of Norse-inspired armor in the colors silver and black.

### Powers & Abilities

#### *Powers*

* **Valkyrie physiology:** Kjerstin was gifted with Valkyrie physiology which grants her a number of abilities.
	+ **Chooser of the Slain:** She can choose those who will die in battle and those who will win. However, she is unsure about this, having just learned of her new bloodline.
	+ **Death sense:** She can sense when someone's going to die. However, as she just learned of this, this power is very weak.
	+ **Afterlife transport:** She can transport those who die and she chooses to Valhalla. Like the rest of her Valkyrie abilities, this power is very new, and Kjerstin has little to no control over this.
	+ **Semi-Immortality:** Unless wounded to the point that she cannot recover, Kjerstin will be able to live forever. This is the only power she's aware of.
	+ **Enhanced conditioning:** She possesses physical and mental conditioning beyond the peak of a human condition.
	+ **Enhanced strength:** Kjerstin is also gifted with supernatural strength. She learned of this at a young age, when she beat the best boy in an arm wrestle match but didn't think anything about it.
	+ **Enhanced combat:** As the daughter of a Valkyrie and through the training she went through with her father, Kjerstin is extremely skilled in combat, both armed and unarmed. Her father was the head warrior of their tribe and he wanted to make sure she was well trained. As the daughter of a Valkyrie, her combat skills are more advanced to the boys in her Tribe, which makes her beating them half the time.

#### *Skillset*

* **Weapon mastery:** Through her hobby in both designing and making weapons, Kjerstin is quite knowledgeable in any type of weapon.
	+ **Scythe proficiency:** As her main go-to weapon, Kjerstin is highly skilled in wielding the scythe.
	+ **Swordsmanship:** As her second most used weapon, Kjerstin is highly proficient in swordweidling.
* **Multilingual:** Kjerstin is multilingual, being able to speak and understand Ancient Norse, Norwegian, and English.
