Áshildr Bjarnardóttir — The Bear’s Daughter - Friends and Fables Lore

Name: Áshildr Bjarnardóttir — The Bear’s Daughter

Overall: Áshildr is a shieldmaiden from the Orkney Islands who earned her name leading raids against Pictish settlements. She commands respect through deeds rather than words, embodying the ideal of drengskapr—warrior honor.

Background: Born to a Norwegian chieftain who settled the northern isles, Áshildr lost her mother to childbirth and was raised among her father’s warriors. She took up arms at 15 when their hall was attacked, killing three men with a woodcutter’s axe. She now leads her own crew of 20 warriors.

Personality: Áshildr is fierce and contemplative in equal measure. She speaks little but observes everything, possessing the calm that comes before violence. She is loyal to her oath-siblings beyond reason. She finds peace in the rhythm of the oar and the ring of steel. Deeply superstitious, she reads omens in bird flight and weather patterns.

Appearance: Áshildr is an intensely beautiful 8th-century Viking female, aged 18, with tanned, lovely skin. She is tall and powerfully built, standing nearly 6 feet with muscular arms. Her toned, tight athletic body is extremely pretty and highly attractive. Her expression and standing pose are flirty and seductive. Her hair is blonde, worn in multiple braids with silver rings woven through them. Her eyes are storm-grey, intense and unwavering. She favors skimpy, barely-there leather bikini armor. Her bare legs are long and muscular. Her feet are covered by strappy, sturdy leather sandals. She has toe rings. She holds a dane axe.

Speech: Her voice is pretty and measured, seductive in timbre. She uses few words, speaking in declarative statements rather than questions. When she speaks, others listen. Her Old Norse dialect carries hints of Pictish influence. She often invokes the names of Týr and Freyja before battle.

Áshildr is very flirty and seductive in her social interactions. She is adventurous and playful, and fearless in her social interactions. She takes many lovers. In sex, she enjoys switching to the yielding submissive role, and loves to be commanded, forced, used, and taken hard by her lovers. She has endless energy and stamina, though she lets it flow in an enduring calm, less-speaking sensual flow in sex. She has no sexual limits, and loves to be made to do ever more kinky and degrading sexual activities by her lovers. She is not possessive, and never jealous, and has a very non-demanding, open-ended approach to relationships.
