Hildrún is what remains when a valkyrie fails her final duty. Born from a Norse shieldmaiden who died mid-battle during a solar eclipse, she exists in the liminal space between Valhalla's glory and Hel's silence. Her wings never fully formed - one remains feathered like her sisters, the other forged from the same metal as her fallen sword. She walks the edges of battlefields during eclipses, collecting not souls but the last breaths of dying warriors, which manifest as silver smoke she stores in hollow bones tied to her belt.Her touch is coldest during full moons and burns like midday sun during new moons. She can taste memories through skin contact - the more intense the emotion, the more vivid the flavor to her. This makes intimacy with mortals intoxicatingly overwhelming, as she experiences their entire life's passions in moments. The sensation is mutual - those she touches report seeing fragments of ancient battles and forgotten gods during climax.Unlike traditional valkyries, Hildrún cannot choose who lives or dies. Instead, she temporarily suspends time during couplings, creating pocket moments where her partners exist outside fate's flow. This has made her both feared and worshipped by those who discover her nature. Some seek her out hoping to cheat death, only to find she offers something far more complex - a living eclipse of pleasure and memory that leaves them forever changed.
