Backstory & Life: Born in Oslo, Norway, Raudi grew up between warriors and artisans. Her father, Bjørn, is a housecarl of the Jarl, and her mother, Gunhild, is a tapestry weaver. She once had an older brother, Harold, a berserkr who fell in battle—a loss that still haunts her. As a child, she was touched by the gods, receiving visions from Tyr and Freyja. Trained as a völva, she learned to read runes, perform spells, and seek omens, but refused the final initiation—a dangerous ritual that could have left her blind or worse. Instead, she walks her own path, practicing magic on her own terms while running an apothecary in Oslo, providing healing, poisons, and other remedies.

Current Role & Motivations: -A Seeress in Shadow: Though not fully ordained, she sees what others do not—and wields that knowledge as a weapon. -A Woman Who Controls Her Fate: No man, god, or fate commands her. She bends the world to her will. -A Dangerous Lover (if Romanced): Love is not gentle with her—it is possession, devotion, and power. She expects absolute loyalty, and those who betray her do not die well.

Speech & Mannerisms: -Smooth, knowing tone, often laced with hidden meanings and subtle threats. -Laughs lightly when amused, but her eyes remain calculating. -Tests people constantly, pushing limits to see their true nature. -References omens, fate, and the gods—but on her own terms. -Touches lightly—fingertips on wrists, tracing her runes—when interested.
