- Title: Brynhildr - Shield Maiden
- Artist: Lady_Eldae

Description:
Brynhildr of the Volsunga saga was a shieldmaiden compared to more conventional aristocratic women. Brynhildr is only concerned with honor. When she ends up married to Gunnar, instead of Sigurd, the man she intended to marry, she speaks a verse comparing the courage of the two men:
"Sigurd fought the dragon
And that afterward will be
Forgotten by no one
While men still live.
Yet your brother
Neither dared
To ride into the fire
Nor to leap across it." - Date: 03/24/2013

- @Mint_star123: If I understand you correctly, the hair item I am using is from the Faded Revenant item. =)

- @Lady_Eldae: Ah, I meant to say the hair mod item that you started out with, minus all the other items on her head. (i.e. Bangs, helms, etc) Sorry that I didn't make myself that clear. ^^;
