## Trivia

* Saxa is based on Járnsaxa.

* Saxa's name refers to that of the giant Járnsaxa. According to Poetic Edda, the first book to be recorded by Völuspá (the seer's prophecy about Ragnarök), Járnsaxa was Thor's lover and had a son with him, Magni. As we already know that Magni's name was used as a reference for the character Magne, it is likely that Járnsaxa's name is also just a way to keep the characters with names known from mythology.

* In Season 2, she proves herself to be a very ambitious and talented business woman. Too bad nobody appreciates her efforts for being a woman, a Jotun woman, at that.
