Appearance:

Irma is a relatively tall young lady with long blonde hair that meets her mid-back and blue eyes. She wears her hair in two braids, reminiscent of Wednesday Addams.

She is modeled after American musicians Taylor Momsen and Billie Eillish.  

Although naturally blonde like her father, she dyes her hair black to distinguish herself from him. Despite this, she seems to be inconsistent on the upkeep, and her blonde roots are very visible. Whenever she and Skwisgaar argue, he always likes to point out that her blonde roots are showing. She resembles her mother in face alone, but she is often seen wearing heavy amounts of makeup to allow herself to stand out. 

She has several facial piercings, including a ball-stud on her upper lip and a ring in the center of her lower lip. She also has a piercing on her left eyebrow. She also has the word “disrespect” (spelled "disrespekt") tattooed across her cheekbones and a tattoo of a millipede across her clavicle and right arm. She also has the words "Daddy Issues" tattooed on the back of her neck, which she gets specifically as petty jab to Skwisgaar.

As a child, Irma is depicted having blonde hair, but still wearing her hair in two braided pigtails. She is also seen wearing an off-white floral-patterned frock and a red apron.

Personality:

While she hates to admit it, Irma mirrors her father in a number of ways. She is a cocky, proficient musician and is often regarded as a musical genius. Much like her father on guitar, she can play bass incredibly fast and takes a great deal of pride in what she can do. She also serves as her band’s primary songwriter, and she’s written multiple songs about her dad, including “I Wish You’s Die”.

Irma is known to be smarter with her money than Skwisgaar. She seems to always have the most advanced guitar technology and recording equipment, such as a distortion pedal that makes her bass sound like “literally Beelzebub”, or a bracelet that also serves as a flask for storing extra booze at “boring” industry parties. 

Irma tends to be a bit smarter and more mature than Skwisgaar, sometimes to a point where the other members of Dethklok think she is older than she really is. However, other times she can be highly petty and overly dramatic, especially when it comes to her father. She physically assaults him after seeing him try to sneak away while explaining to Charles and the other members of Dethklok the circumstances of her life.

Irma is quietly insecure and secretly yearns for the approval of a father figure. She constantly rejects Skwisgaar’s attempts to connect with her in favor of bonding with his other bandmates, namely Toki and Murderface.  

Irma is a lesbian, and takes after her father’s ways of sleeping with multiple women -- as well as his preference for thicker women.

Also like Skwisgaar and Toki, she speaks in a fake Scandinavian accent, and uses misplaced pluralization.

Biography:

Birth

Irma Bjellund is the only daughter of Ylva Bjellund and Skwisgaar Skwigelf. She was born in Stockholm, Sweden on December 13th. 

Ylva was Skwisgaar’s girlfriend for a time when he returned briefly back to Sweden. At the time, Skwisgaar lived with his mother Surfetta and stepfather, Tyr. When it turned out that Surfetta was cheating on Tyr, Skwisgaar fled Sweden without telling Ylva and returned to join his band, Dethklok. Before Ylva could locate him, she was tracked down by her own mother, Ulla, a cult leader.

Unfortunately, like Skwisgaar, Ylva was also living in Stockholm in an attempt to appear normal. She is originally from Halsingland, living in Stockholm to hide from her abusive mother.

Childhood

Although the circumstances of her death are never clear, it is safely assumed that Ylva was killed by her mother’s cult. It is also not clear if Irma remembers her mother at all, since it’s implied she died when Irma was young, but she does carry a picture of her mother in a locket. She holds a grudge towards Skwisgaar for abandoning her mother, and thus abandoning her.   

Not much is known about Irma’s childhood although it is clear she was abused. Growing up, due to the living conditions she was forced into, she became fascinated by different kinds of bugs, particularly millipedes. She mentions that the cult in her childhood subjected her to a number of traumatic experiences; such as being present for “consummation” rituals and having to take psychedelic mushrooms as a child. She says she was force-fed psychedelic mushrooms so often, she says that it is a “miracle” that she has a grasp on reality still, if at all. 

Additionally, Irma is possessed by a mythical Nordic entity known as Tusenfoting, which can be summoned when a drum pattern of a particular BPM is played. How or why the Tusenfoting possessed her is also unclear, but it is safe to assume it was the result of the cult torturing her. When the Tusenfoting is awakened, it attacks living things and drinks their blood.

Although Irma doesn’t like to talk about it, she stabbed her grandmother in order to escape her clutches, leading three other teenage orphans who lived at her commune. Later on, Irma taught two of them to play the guitar, while Mina had already known to play the drums as part of cult rituals. 

Growing up, Irma was a huge fan of Dethklok, despite her grandmother’s disapproval. She claims she learned how to play bass while listening to Dethklok on bass-boosted headphones. She looks up to William Murderface, citing him as her favorite bass player of all time. 

Relationship with Skwisgaar:

Skwisgaar first learns of her existence when her band, Nekrotysm (a pun on the word "Nepotism"), goes viral on TikTok for their cover of Dethklok's "Duncan Hills Coffee Jingle" and conspiracy theory spreads on the internet that suggests she may be his daughter.

Skiwsgaar originally refuses any responsiblity for her as any of the mothers of his children should have signed a waiver that removes him of paternal responsibility. However, he is later informed by Dethklok manager (post-Doomstar Requiem) Charles Ofdensen who Irma's mother is; his now deceased ex-girlfriend Ylva, who passed by mysterious means. Charles tells Skwisgaar that, legally speaking, he was not a member of Dethklok at the time of Irma's conception, and therefore has to, at very least, contact her.

Irma, for the most part, resents Skwisgaar for his absence as this led to her being raised by her grandmother -- Ylva's mother, Ulla, a high priestess of a pagan cult.

Skwisgaar, plagued with guilt for what Irma had to go through, does genuinely apologize for the way Irma grew up, but Irma initially decides not to forgive him. Skwisgaar is unfortunately is too emotionally immature not to stoop to her level of petty name calling. They tend to get into petulant arguments over meaningless things – such as where on Skwisgaar’s fretboard he uses a capo, or the simple fact that it was actually the father she claims to despise so much that recorded the basslines she learned to play bass along to. 

The situation is immediately worsened when Irma develops a close relationship with Toki Wartooth, who takes pity on Irma when learning they had similar childhoods. 

Skwisgaar later finds out that Toki is campaigning to legally adopt Irma and be her guardian. 

Relationship with Toki

A nasty custody battle ensues when Skwisgaar finds out Toki wants to adopt Irma, with most of Dethklok taking Toki’s side. Nathan points out that Skwisgaar is only mad because Toki is the one who wants to adopt her, and that if Nathan and Abigail wanted to adopt Irma, Skwisgaar would have handed her over to them without hesitation.

The court comes to an agreement that the primary responsibility for Irma would be given to Toki, as Skwisgaar has not proven himself to be responsible around children, given the number of paternity lawsuits he’s already faced. 

In turn, Toki is Irma’s official guardian, and it is agreed Irma would live with him at Mordhaus. Of course, this technically means that she now lives with her actual father and has to see him everyday. 

Even Toki and Skwisgaar do quite a bit of co-parenting toward Irma because Toki’s innocent nature makes him a less than responsible parent. While Toki means well, he doesn’t always make decisions in Irma’s best interest. For example, he hires Dr. Rockso to be their new manager, to Skwisgaar’s horror, and he immediately fires Rockso and takes over the role as Nekrotysm's manager.

Skwisgaar and Irma share one of their most notable bonding moments as they take turns beating the shit out of Rockso.
