NAME: Ashildr Borensdottar
ALIAS: Ashildr, Ashy, Gray Berserker
AGE: 22
GENDER: Female
STANDING: One the only female Vikings on Hysteria
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Straight (one might say asexual, since she has really no interest in reproduction at all)
LIKES: Ashildr likes ambush attacks (they're the funnest to execute), Stag meat (not doe, it HAS to be stag meat), Her Sword 'The Executioner', and her favorite Axe, a golden beauty called 'Golden Ash'.
DISLIKES: Ashildr HATES losing fights or battles, she doesn't like wearing boots (although she has to most of the time), she doesn't like it when men Vikings are more powerful than her, and she hates being called crazy.
STRENGTHS: Ashildr is deathly quiet when she's preparing an ambush attack; she could stalk the Doomfang (though even she's not that crazy). She's also an incredibly good aim, can hit a semi-spotted snowspecker fifteen night-fury lengths away! She's a quick learner when it comes to weaponry, and she's also a good navigator.
WEAKNESSES: Ashildr cannot read. At all. Not a lick. She's also quite reckless, and has lost many battles simply because she cannot judge what a good move from a bad move is. She's impatient almost to the point that she always has to be moving to be happy, and, for the life of her, she. Cannot. Sleep. She's a terrible insomniac, and can't sleep more than maybe two hours every night, most nights even less. One last teeny tiny little note: Ashildr is half-blind (Her left eye).
FEARS: Ashildr is not afriad of anything. At least, not anything when it comes to battles and weapons and dragons and death. She's actually afriad of the stars; she has no idea what they are, and is therefore scared of them. She's also scared of birds. Not dragons and birds. Just birds. Big ones especially. No-one knows why. Ashildr is afraid of going blind by staring too long into the sun (her worst nightmare is losing the sight in her only working eye) and finally, her biggest fear: Fog. She feels lost in the fog, and her mind reels too much for her to even think straight! She gets both mentally lost and physically lost in fog. She thinks its evil.
AMBITIONS: Ashildr want's to be the most powerful Viking there ever was! She wants to cheat death 200 times before she does finally die (<--her biggest ambition). She also wants to know what makes volcanoes work, and she wants to live longer than any Viking ever has. Oddly enough, she wants to be bitten by a Venomous Vorpent, just to see what it feels like.
SECRETS: Ashildr secretly saw her Mother get swallowed by the Doomfang, and it has mentally scarred her for life. She's also secretly hoping that one day she gets to see Berk (She's always wanted to see it, but has never said anything about it.)
PERSONALITY: Ashildr is what some might call 'crazy'. It's really not her fault at all; she's just a product of her environment. Mental scars have left her with a fractured sence of self, and she's prone to completely losing control and going into her Berserker state at anything. She's got a hot temper, and is not patient to save her life! She's overly analytical, and cynical to boot. No sence of humor or sarcasm, she has an extremly hard time conecting with other people, even her fellow Hysterics. She finds more comfort in the silence of nature than in the infuriating chatter of humans.
Under her broken exterior, she's a very insecure girl who will leap at any chance to prove her worth. She feels ashamed of her Berserk episodes, and hates being what she is. But she knows she can't change herself now, with all the damage, and so, has turned herself into a fighting machine. She puts all her focus and energy into being the best warrior Hysteria has ever seen!
Due to her expiriences, Ashildr has no Motherly instinct, has no guilty conscious outside herself, and has no perception of social cues. She's a shell of a woman, and knows it. And as you've probably guessed, she's not too bright. Can't read, can't write, can't socialize. Hysteria's lucky to have her, but in the same sense, they'd almost be better without her.
OVERALL PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Ashildr is a gray person. Dusty brown hair crowns her head; wavy and long, she doesn't bother braiding it because, frankly, she can't do it by herself. Her face is long and pale, with half-moon eyes, dusted pale gray in color. Wide, warrior shoulders and a skinny waist, she isn't what you'd expect from a Berserk Hysteric Warrior! But those arms of hers have a tremendous amount of muscle, and her legs are long and lean, perfect for climbing and running. Her hands are spindly, scarred and knobby, like hobbled little spiders. Her teeth are small and straight, but her lips stretch crooked when she smiles, and give her a slightly psychotic look.
Her clothes are loose and clean; she likes clean clothes. White frocks or simple shirts, loosly belted with braided cord, over black or brown leggings or pants. She tries to go without boots as often as possible, but when she needs to, she wears a pair of brown stag (not doe) skin boots. Ashildr stands 5'8 feet tall, and weighs around 135 pounds.

HISTORY: Ashildr was meant to be a boy. Her parents were planning for a boy, they wanted a boy. But they got a girl. Her father was a bit disappointed, but tried to make the best of a bad situation. Treating little Ashy like a son, he put her through Viking-Training, made her jump through all his hoops, the works. By the age of seven, she was so rough around the edges you wouldn't be able to tell her from any other Hysteric boy.
Everything changed when Ashildr turned eight. She wasn't aware then, but she possesed the fearsome Berserk ability, and so did her Mother. "Ran in the family," her father later told her; in a crazy Berserk state, Ashildr's mother hi-jacked a long boat and sailed right into the waiting jaws of the Doomfang. And of course, her eight year old daughter just so happened to be there to witness it. Her life didn't get much better when her village was ambushed by The Outcasts. For all of the Hysteric's horrible haggardness, the Outcasts were ten times worse. Her Father was killed by outcasts when she was ten, and that was the first time Ashildr ever went into her berserk state. Didn't really help much, but she did manage to track down the Outcast that did her Father in and 'repay the favor'. That was the first time she'd ever killed anyone, and ever since, she's been slowly falling down the slope towards insanity.
From birth, Ashildr's been blind out of her left eye, and since her Father wanted her to train every second of every day, she was never taught to read or write (not very Hysterics know how anyway). Watching her family die has given her terrible insomnia, and made her very emotionally unstable. When any normal human would feel sad and cry, Ashildr gets angry and attacks whatever's closest.
So far in her life, she's escaped death only 22 times (her goal is 200 times). Everything from jumping over the cliffs that sepperate Hysteria from the Moutains of Villainy, to venturing out into the Wrath of Thor to tick the Doomfang off, to cutting holes into the ice when the sea freezes to let the Doomfang escape. She's even almost been cooked in a big pot once, and was shot at by Outasts with poison-tipped arrows. All this and more, and the loon is still running around, fit as a whistle, hungry for more.
