Idunn

Idunn, the goddess of youth, is the keeper of the golden apples that grant the gods of Asgard their immortality. Married to Bragi, the god of poetry, she is the daughter of Iwaldi and the sister of the dwarves who forged Sif’s golden hair. Her role is vital, for without her apples, the gods would wither and age.

One day, the giant Thjazi, craving the power of the apples, devised a scheme. Disguised as an eagle, he coerced Loki into luring Idunn into the forest under the pretense of finding even better apples. Once alone, Thjazi seized her and carried her off to his fortress in Jötunheim. Deprived of their youth, the gods demanded Loki bring her back. Using Freyja’s falcon cloak, Loki flew to Jötunheim, transformed Idunn into a nut, and escaped with her, pursued by Thjazi, whom the gods ultimately slew.

Doodled Resplendent designs for some of my favorite characters since IntSys will never give them one at this rate.

Except for Faye. She's more like a REsplendent since she already got an official one. I am still salty she didn't get Ljosalfheimr. She's literally perfect for it 😭
