-----------------------
Appearance:

Physical Features: Alruna has a slender body, but she has lean muscle that makes her more fit than the average woman. Her hands are often gloved, hiding long fingers with sharp nails. She has the beauty and the spirit of a typical shieldmaiden.

Facial Features: Alruna has thin cheeks and sharp eyes. When she's asleep, she seems innocent, but awake and alert, her eyes judge everyone and everything. War has given her a sobered countenance, but every now and then an emotion will flutter across it.

Clothing: She is often clothed in some sort of white gown. She wears simple shoes made of soft leather on the top and hardened leather soles. When she fights, however, she wears a winged helm, decorated chailmail, and full rider's plate greaves.

Miscellaneous Items/Articles:Alruna wears a chain necklace with an elegant pendant carved from the finest mother-of-pearl in the shape of a sword, representing a remembrance of her god, Odin.

Personality:

Resolve/Pursuit: Alruna has some remaining bitterness from when her brother was killed by a rogue Valkyrie, but she still fights for Odin, although every now and then her morals will stray and she fights for herself. Knowing little but war, she simply wanders and does as she pleases. She'll fight for a cause if it means social interaction, but there are limitations, even to that.

Fears: As hardened by bloodshed and violence as Alruna is, she has an immense fear of death. She wonders about the existence of the after-life but hopes that she won't find that out until the time is right.

Hopes: Alruna looks forward to getting married to a king, but simply to exercise power as a queen. She dreams of being a queen that her subjects would adore, and she would treat them as her very children and fight beside them in battle. She would respect them, and treat them fairly. She has no idea how she would get around to accomplishing this, but she still imagines about it.

Hobbies: Alruna enjoys mock battles and occasionally playing cards. Other than that, she mainly spends her time walking around town, looking for something to do.

Public Personality/Private Personality:

Public: It sometimes appears as though war consumes her, for outside of battle, she rarely speaks. However, if you strike a rapport with her, you'd find that she is a rather vengeful person, seemingly mad at the entire world.

Private: When she's amoung close friends or by herself, she can actually be fairly relaxed, and lucky few catch her laughing or smiling. She is a talented singer, but she doesn't like to do it in public.

Weapons: A sword and a dagger

Weapon Name: Sword: Hildr Dagger: Valthrúd

Weapon Description: The sword is a simple steel blade with a quarter inch fuller running down the center of one side. The grip is wrapped with form-fitting leather, up to the simple, unadorned cross guard. Alruna took it from Frederick VII of Denmark just before she killed him. She named it Hildr, the Old Norse word for battle.

The dagger was custom made by a Swedish blacksmith in 1806. It was made of some sort of steel-silver alloy and embedded with crystals in such a way that it glittered in the sun. It had been used for numerous mercy (and a few not so merciful) killings and is sheathed on her belt (while in battle) and sometimes on her calf (outside of battle). The dagger is named Valthrúd, or heavenly strength.

Abilities:

Base Ability: Soulcraft

Sub Abilities:

Hallucination: Alruna takes the form of whatever her enemy fears most. This halves the damage that the opponent can deal for four turns. Usable only when an enemy has half of their starting health.

Mercy Blow: When an enemy is close to death, Alruna unsheathes her dagger and cuts out the enemy's heart, turning them into a Nobody. However, she can hold possession of the heart (if she pleases), and have control over that Nobody.

Animation: Alruna can instill a free-willed spirit into an inanimate object. By giving this soul "life" again, it often does her bidding, but some souls take a little convincing

.story.mode.
-----------------------
History:Born under mortal parents early in the Viking era, Alruna was raised with a love and respect for her king and god, Odin. She was raised as a proper maiden until about fourteen, at which time she was taught how to wield a weapon and use it in battle. She fought in many Viking wars, under the names of mortal kings. When she was 25, a succession of Valkyries captured her and took her to Valhalla. Odin charged her to fight for him. In exchange, she would be granted special powers and privileges and would only be able to die in battle. She gratefully, and instantly, accepted the offer, and began ravaging the battlefields in the form of a raven, with a warg as a companion. She escorted heroes to Valhalla, recruiting them to Odin's army in preparation for the Ragnarok.

However, when the Viking Age ended by the rise of Christianity, there weren't any armies still fighting for Odin. Scandinavia had been evaporated. Alruna began to wander the earth, looking for something to do, killing people here and there, taking and leaving treasures, and wreaking mild havoc upon the world. When Earth seemed too small, she left and traveled elsewhere.

She continues to wander, looking for excitement.
