Personality [ ]

Thrúd is introduced as a strong-willed, headstrong, determined young girl. As shown with her interactions with Atreus, she is generally kind and friendly towards others and will do her best to respect them, in stark contrast to her brothers, who were arrogant and cruel. She was also shown interacting cordially with Skjöldr, showing she doesn't hold any prejudice against Midgardians or other species, unlike several of her fellow Aesir. Thrúd especially holds the Valkyries in high esteem, with joining their ranks being her dream.
She cares deeply about her parents. However, she would often get into arguments with Sif since she did not want to see Thrud get killed the same way that Magni and Modi did, thus objecting her desire to become a warrior and Valkyrie. It's heavily implied that Thrúd did not have a good relationship with her brothers, possibly being bullied by Modi when they were younger, and while she appeared to be saddened by their loss, she claimed that they were better off without them. Most notably, she loves her father Thor a great deal and seeing him becoming drunk again not only embarrasses her but also leaves her saddened that he had broken his promise to stop drinking. Thrúd nonetheless supports and loves her father deeply and it is ultimately for her sake that finally convinces Thor to be better and stand up to Odin.
Thrúd's relationship with her other family members are vague at best but she mentioned that she hardly knew her uncle Baldur since he was rarely home. She held no ill will towards Atreus for killing Modi, stating that they were better off without him anyway, indicating that she had a bad relationship with him. She also didn't have a good relationship with Heimdall unsurprisingly, due to the Watchman's arrogance and condescending nature, attacking him when he cruelly mocked her father and of her goal of becoming a Valkyrie. As a result, she wasn't particularly upset upon hearing of Heimdall's death. Whilst she almost never mentions Magni to Atreus at all other than briefly stating that her room used to belong to him, the fact that she makes such sparce reference to him suggests that she didn't have a close relationship with her eldest sibling.
Similar to many of the other Aesir, unfortunately, Thrúd was fanatically supportive of her grandfather, believing him to be a wise, caring ruler and was eager to impress him. As a result, she refused to believe Atreus when he told her about all of the crimes Odin had committed, especially since he had learned of them from Freya and Mimir, both of whom she viewed with disdain as they had turned against Odin, not even considering that they may have had their reasons for doing so. Though it was implied that she may have considered some truth to Atreus's claims, for Thrúd was vouched for to be smarter than her father by Thor himself; Thrúd would ultimately eat her own words when she saw the truth for herself come the rallying of the realms against Asgard. Then, when Ragnarök arrives and Thrúd confronts Atreus again, she raises her sword at him and nearly kills him. When Atreus reveals that Odin purposefully placed the Midgardians on the front lines to slow down the enemy, Thrúd still refuses to believe him. It's only after Sif arrives that she's convinced to help Atreus stop Odin, clearly humbled by the fact that she has been wrong the whole time. As Thor is killed before her eyes, Thrúd finally sees through Odin's lies and charges toward her grandfather, finally going against Odin and seeing him for the monster he really was.

Norse Mythology [ ]

Þrúðr (Old Norse: [ˈθruːðz̠], "strength"), sometimes anglicized as Thrud or Thrúd, is a daughter of the major God Thor and the Goddess Sif in Norse Mythology. Þrúðr is also the name of one of the Valkyries who serve ale to the Einherjar in Valhalla (Grímnismál, Stanza 36).
The Poetic Edda poem Alvíssmál features a dwarf named Alvíss who claims to be engaged to Thor’s daughter. While the daughter is not named, she might be Þrúðr.
The Prose Edda book Skáldskaparmál (4) tells that Thor can be referred to by the kenning "father of Þrúðr" (faðir Þrúðar). Eysteinn Valdason uses it in his poem about Thor (2). The Skáldskaparmál (21) adds that her mother is Sif.
In Bragi Boddason's Ragnarsdrápa, the jötunn Hrungnir is called "thief of Þrúðr" (Þrúðar þjófr). But there is no direct reference to this myth in any other source. Skáldskaparmál (17), in which Snorri relates the fight between Thor and Hrungnir, mentions a very different cause, and Þjóðólfr of Hvinir's Haustlöng only describes the fight without giving the reason for it. This poem depicts two mythological scenes painted on a shield, the first being Iðunn's abduction by the Giant Þjazi. Margaret Clunies Ross suggested that the two episodes might be complementary, both dealing with the abduction of a Goddess by a Giant, its failure and the death of the abductor. Another kenning may allude to this Myth: in Eilífr Goðrúnarson's Þórsdrápa (18), Thor is called "he who longs fiercely for Þrúðr" (þrámóðnir Þrúðar).
