Personality [ ]

“ A problem doesn’t have to reach our doorstep for it to be our responsibility. If we have the power to limit the harm it should cause, we should act. Who are we to hide and do nothing? ” –Faye to Kratos, God of War: Ragnarök

While Faye was not shown extensively within the game, it is clear that she cared deeply about her son, and taught him as many things as she could before dying and raised Atreus to be a kind soul. She also appeared to be a very close and loving wife to Kratos, as Kratos wondered if he could raise Atreus without her and reprimanded Atreus whenever he spoke ill of his mother, showing anger when Atreus accuses him of not mourning Faye. Despite thinking that she was a mortal, Kratos still described her as "better than a God". The Huldra brothers, Brok and Sindri , also thought highly of Faye, making the Leviathan Axe for her. Sindri, in particular, considered her a special woman and was saddened upon learning of her death.
Kratos and Atreus have both noted that Faye always wanted to help those in need, without any personal benefit to gain from the action. Atreus had clearly learned and inherited her kind nature and desire to help others from Faye. While Kratos would very much like to stay out of the affairs of others, Faye would always help those in need, a trait which endeared her to the Huldra brothers.
According to Atreus, Faye shared her husband's mistrust of Gods, though not without reason. As the last Guardian of the Jötnar, Faye had the opportunity and the hope of her fellow Giants to restore balance to the world following Thor 's rampage. Instead, Faye placed her hopes in her family. Using her ability of foresight, Faye undertook the journey her son and husband would and left markings to help guide them.
In Kratos' dreams, Faye reveals a more fun loving side, often teasing her husband and calling him Grumbles in response to his grunting and gruff demeanor and even poking his nose with yellow paint or thanking him for removing a dead tree and calling him a good boy. Never have the two argued once as Faye often provides her wisdom to Kratos' ideals and concerns about himself and the world around him, something that Kratos wished he had taken heed sooner with his first wife Lysandra . She even jokes about Kratos' choice of burial for her, opting for a tomb instead of a pyre to which she responds that her rotting corpse would bring him such comfort.
Upon learning of her fight with Thor in Vanaheim, Kratos was shocked to see Faye had contributed to the destruction of the valley and its residents, on a level of rage he thought her incapable of. Despite Thor being drunk and sloppy with his hammer, Faye was capable of such hateful emotions that she engaged Thor in combat with the Leviathan, their duel ending in a stalemate and leaving behind a frozen lightning mark.

Powers & Abilities [ ]

“ It is a tale of combat! Of a fair-haired woman doing battle with the most powerful of all gods . ” –Magnus upon meeting Kratos

As a renowned Giant warrior, Faye is an extremely powerful being, enough to gain the attention of Thor, the physically strongest and second most powerful of the Norse Gods , and Kratos, former God of War from another land , and contend with them. The combination of her might, combat abilities, and cunning, would make her an extremely potent opponent.

Powers [ ]

Superhuman Strength: As a warrior giantess, Faye had tremendous strength. She was notably able to face even Thor , the physically strongest Norse God, and give him a fight for his life, to where Thor considers her a worthy challenge, albeit it should be noted that he was drunk and sloppy at the time. In her first encounter with Kratos , she was also able to match the Ghost of Sparta and stated that "[they] nearly took each others' heads off". Precognition: Another standard ability of her kind is the ability to foresee future events like her own death, her family's journey to spread her ashes, and even their possible future. Magic Mastery : Faye possessed great magical knowledge, allowing her to recognize and neutralize scorn poles and create a protective barrier around her house that was potent enough that no Aesir God, including Odin , despite his great magical mastery, was ever able to find her and her family until she dispelled it, despite the fact that Odin later had no trouble breaching the same defense when Atreus put it up. It was possible that she used her magical power to hide her true nature, as Kratos didn't suspect her status as something other than mortal even after her death. Spell Casting : Faye was quite skilled with magic, she was able to cast several powerful spells which not even the Aesir Gods could break or see, she specialized mainly in concealment spells, she taught her son a little.

In Norse Mythology [ ]

Laufey or Nál is a figure from Norse mythology, the mother of Loki and consort of Fárbauti.
Laufey is mentioned several times in the Prose Edda , composed in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. The first mention occurs in Gylfaginning , where High introduces Loki. High says that Loki is the son of Fárbauti, that "Laufey or Nál" is his mother, and that his brothers are Býleistr and Helblindi. Elsewhere in Gylfaginning , Loki is referred with employment of the matronymic Laufeyjarson (Old Norse 'Laufey's son'). This occurs twice more in Gylfaginning and once in Skádskaparmál .
