Open Mini Bio
In Norse mythology, a valkyrie (from Old Norse valkyrja, "chooser of the slain") is one of a host of female figures who decide who will die in battle. Selecting among half of those who die in battle (the other half go to the goddess Freyja's afterlife field Fólkvangr), the valkyries bring their chosen to the afterlife hall of the slain, Valhalla, ruled over by the god Odin. There, the deceased warriors become einherjar. There, when the einherjar are not preparing for the events of Ragnarök, the valkyries bear them mead. Valkyries also appear as lovers of heroes and other mortals, where they are sometimes described as the daughters of royalty, sometimes accompanied by ravens, and sometimes connected to swans.

Sigrdrifa ("Victory Blizzard") is one of the valkyries mentioned in the sagas and the Eddas. She serves as Thor's right hand among the valkyries, and liaises between Midgard and Asgard when Thor cannot leave one realm or another.
