||STRENGTHS||
+ Warrior: To be born among the Valkyri is to be born among a people shaped by constant war between clans. No different is Sigrun, being raised from birth to be a strong, effective shield-maiden to fight alongside her kin. She is ready for battle when her Clan calls for her, awaiting for her enemies to taste her iron.
+ Amazonian: Like others of her species, Sigrun is a woman of great stature, standing a good meter over most other near-humans. In addition, her dedication to the warrior ways of her people have given her muscled appearance.
+ Coldborn: Some have said that Valkyri are born with icy blood in their veins. While a bit of exaggeration, Sigrun and others of her kind have adapted to survive the freezing temperatures that prevail on their homeworld of Midvinter. This allows her to have a resistance to most other cold climates, within her species’ thresholds.
||WEAKNESSES||
- Wary of Blasters: Despite learning many of the higher technology the Galaxy has, Sigrun is very standoffish about blasters in general. Despite her attempts to learn to fight with them, their utter difference from the more primal weapons she is familiar with makes her uncomfortable.
- Mule-Headed: On brand for a species of braggarts and thick headed warriors, Sigrun can sometimes come off as stubborn and rash.
- Heat-Stroked: While a Valkyri like Sigrun can withstand deep coldness, she has the reverse effect with warmth. She, like many others of her species, undergo forms of heat-sickness when exposed to limits of warmth beyond what is typical for Midvinter’s climate.
||PERSONALITY||
Sigrun is a very loyal person when it comes to her clan and close allies. She feels compelled to keep her honor with them, going beyond measure to protect or aid them when necessary. However, she is also someone who comes off as very stubborn when she feels that she is in the right. She also has a side that has a problem with properly processing anger. One the flip side, she does show affection when she feels like it, in her own way...particularly slugging people in the arm she really cares about.
||BIOGRAPHY||
Many years ago, the woman who would known as Sigrun Galaar had been born on the icy world of Midvinter. Like many of her people, she was taught and raised to be a warrior. Her childhood was largely quiet, despite the actions of the Heavenshield clan and its kin bringing Midvinter more to the galactic forefront.
Not long ago, however, she had been a meadhall with her kinsman Skjor Snjóhaukur. It was then some outsiders had made themselves known. Mandalorians, as she knows them now, prodding her and her kin into a battle of strength and power. Not one to shirk a fight, Sigrun backed her cousin up, ready to battle should Skjor call upon her. Instead, the Mandalorians seemed to have gotten what they wanted from the fisticuffs between Skjor and the leader of these outsiders.
Loyal to her kin, she also took up the Mandalorians' offer of joining among their ranks as warriors. She watched as Skjor renamed himself [member="Jiriad Galaar"], decided to take on the new clan name as well. Now a Mandalorian, she took to understanding the Resol'nare, practicing its ideals in a way that honored her Valkyri heritage.
Now she sets upon Krownest, the new home of her Clan, ready to unleash the sting of her blade upon those who would dare to threaten her Clan or her new thane - The Mand'alor.
