So, I've been drawing her some more, and figuring out her back story. It helps that I've been listening to Norse mythology stories while working. Cool stuff.
Valkyries collect the dead for Odin and Freya, who each get half of those who die in battle. She has some kind of horrible tragedy, where she looses her fam and her right arm (I am totally not consistent about which hand is missing). The two gods decide, she needs to go back to the mortal world because she will be needed to delay Ragnarok.
The big ghost was once a king who had his crown stolen. He was executed by blood eagle when the battle was lost, and even though he made no sound, by a deception he was judged to have failed the test, and sent to the halls of Hel, rather than Valhalla. When Odin decided to use Sasha, he offered a bargain to Hel. The king gets another chance to redeem himself, if he guides and watches out for Sasha. He also brings her the gifts of her burning hand made from the bones of Tyr's right hand, bitten off by Fenrir, and her weapon, which can kill ghosts, made from sparks stolen from Surtr as he forges the sword that will burn the universe on Ragnarok.
Either that or she's crazy.
And a doodle of Odin.
Gotta run. K bye.
