AHAH. Serves you right, Loki, since you’ve been a moron to Freyja during the whole issue. Have fun with Angrboða.
Having fun trolling your favourite character when he’s an asshole always: CHECK.

ANGRBODA
Mythology: Norse
Name means: “herald of sorrow”, “foreboding”, “Hag of of the Iron Wood of Jotunheim.”
Also Known As: “Mother of Monsters”
Angrboda is a frost giantess in Norse mythology that is generally considered to be a maiden/mother/crone figure. However, as a wolf pack leader, she is very protective of her own, but not afraid to bite if need be.
Angrboda is a lover of the God, Loki. With Loki she bore three children, which were foretold to Odin to bring great destruction to him. One of their children, Hel, was sent to the Underworld to rule over. Jörmungandr (her serpent child) was cast to the oceans where he grew large enough to circle the world and swallow his own tail. Fenrir, the third, and the wolf child, stayed to be raised by the gods until he grew too rowdy to handle and was sent to an island where he was chained.
Even though much of her identity stops after being labeled “one of Loki’s wives”, it should also be pointed out that she was a fierce warrior and was very wise. (its also funny to note that in actuality, Loki is HER consort, not the other way around). She is accepting of Loki’s other wife, however sees herself as the superior. She is also good to call upon in a polyamorous relationship as she is great for helping people discover boundaries.
It is also interesting that she generally wears “men’s” clothing, unless at ritual where she generally wore the clothing of a priestess.

ANGRBODA (Katie McGrath)
A Jotun giantess whose parentage is rather unknown, in her mind unimportant, she lives just on the outskirts of Laufey’s kingdom. Tall and intimidating, she can and will use any situation to her benefit. Her main concern is her and only herself, though she has bore three children. She is a born manipulator and does not enter into agreements without due compensation. Her whole life has been about gaining power, which is why she attests to a plethora of lovers.
She also not against using her children for her own pleasure or gain, no matter what that may entail.
