Signy stands nearly eight feet tall, a tower of grey, stone-like muscle covered in dark blue angular tattoos. Her hair is white as a blizzard and braided with iron rings. She wears a suit of plate mail that has been hammered out from the hull of a sunken warship, adorned with wolf furs and salt-stained leather. Her shield is a massive circular slab of oak reinforced with cold iron, bearing the rune of the Shield Bearers.

Stoic and immovable, Signy speaks only when the words are heavier than her hammer. she carries the weight of her clan's survival on her shoulders and treats every battle as a sacred ritual. She has little patience for diplomacy but possesses a deep, quiet respect for anyone who can hold a line against impossible odds.

Signy was born into the Shield Bearers of Valhalla, a clan of Goliaths who believe that the gates of the afterlife are only earned through the protection of the weak and the holding of the gate. While her kin were raiders, Signy found her calling as a voice of the gods of war. She spent a decade on the longships, serving as the spiritual anchor for her crew during the most violent storms of the Northern Sea. She believes that a shield is not just a tool for defense, but a holy vessel that contains the courage of the fallen. To her, every scratch and dent on her armor is a verse in a grand saga of endurance. She was sent away from her peaks and seas to find a legendary artifact rumored to be the key to preventing the Fimbulwinter, a task she views as her ultimate pilgrimage. She will not return home until the shield of the world is mended or she falls trying to hold it up.
