Ignorance = Fear, 1989

GNá

Gná serves as Frigg’s swift and reliable messenger, carrying out tasks across the Nine Realms. To aid her in this duty, she rides the magical horse Hófvarpnir, whose name means “Hoof-Thrower.” This extraordinary steed can traverse land, sea, and sky with ease, ensuring that Gná can deliver Frigg’s messages without hindrance. Because of her ability to travel between worlds, she is often associated with speed, transcendence, and divine communication.

Y/N's one of those grannies that can just materialize teeny caramel candy from her teeny purse!

i wanted to make a birth family for Sigyn, since she doesnt have one in canon, so i cobbled together some unrelated minor gods. Very little of this is canon. However, I also wanted them to look distinct enough that it could be either. Most of them, especially the women, don't have defined family beyond their spouses and kids, and I wanted to put them all somewhere. There are more in the family that aren't drawn, so I'm going to draw them and rearrange the family sometime soon.

left to right, Nepr, Gna, Itreksjod, Nanna, Ran, Aegir, Sigyn, Meili, Idis, Forseti. Aegir is the only in-law in this picture, all of the others are direct decendants of Nepr and Gna, the parents. For clarity, here's the family tree.
