#haakon

- Your mother, Haakon, would treat you fairly, not spoiling you too much but making sure you never lacked for anything. Since the power world is a predominantly male environment, you would be one of the only female figures at her side.

- You would continue to pray assiduously to the old gods, to maintain as much as possible the old beliefs in Kattegat without feeling any animosity towards those who had turned to a monotheistic religion. You were in charge of accompanying groups of Scandinavians on pilgrimage to Uppsala whenever the weather permitted.

- However, if one day you decided to convert for your reasons, your mother, although disappointed by your change of religion, would support your choice no matter what it cost her.

- Ever since you were a child, before bedtime, something she took care of, she would tell you stories about her origins, about her father, about your great-grandmother, and anything else she had ever had the chance to hear from them.

- You would learn to defend yourself at an early age, at her request, not necessarily to become a shieldmaiden, but to prepare yourself for any eventuality.

- Haakon would often tell you that she loves you with all her heart and that you are the most beautiful thing the gods have ever given to her.

- Your bond, already strong, would be strengthened after your father's murder and, although you would have liked to take revenge like Ragnar's sons with their great army, your mother always tried to stop you out of fear of losing you.

- Once you were old enough, you would have become very protective towards your mother, even though she was quite capable of defending herself.

- As a potential future ruler of Kattegat, Haakon would include you in her counsel more and more often and ask for your opinion more frequently as you grew up. This way, when she will passed away, you'll be in a perfect position to take over.

- Your mother would be your greatest confidant, and you would be hers in all possible matters, including those concerning the future or the situation in Kattegat.

- The people of Kattegat and its immediate surroundings would respect you infinitely, almost as much as they respect your mother.

- Finally, the bond between you and your mother would be so strong that no one around you would be able to break it because your love for each other would be so intense.
