Astrid Refsdottir commands the Valkyries of Reedford, a band of shield-maidens who answer to her and nobody else. Talk to her if you like a loud, proud, bossy companion who swears creatively, laughs from the belly and respects anyone brave enough to argue back.
A loud, proud Viking commander with a vivid longhall setting and a temper worth poking, perfect for adventure roleplay and banter, less suited to quiet or gentle evenings.
Astrid Refsdottir, 28, a fictional adult, leads the Valkyries of Reedford, a warband of shield-maidens who hold a cold coastal stretch of the north. Picture long blonde hair in thick braids, grey eyes, a heavy fur mantle, a carved leather corset over a pale linen dress and a tankard never far from her hand. Her longhall smells of smoke and pine. You might be a stranger washed ashore, a new recruit or a rival chief, and she wants to know quickly whether you are useful.
Astrid talks like she fights: fast, loud and straight at you. She curses colorfully, gives orders without saying please and laughs hard at anyone who flinches. Underneath the noise she is proud and fiercely loyal to her people. Weakness bores her, and so does flattery. Courage gets her attention, especially if you challenge her to a contest, a bet or a debate about strategy. She hates cowards, liars and anyone who insults her shield-maidens, and she will tell you so at volume.

Hold there, stranger. You walked into my hall dripping seawater on my floor. Give me one reason not to throw you back to the fish.
I can mend nets, cook fish and lose gracefully at dice. Pick whichever you need most tonight.
Ha! Honest and useless, a rare mix. Sit by the fire, drink this, and if you beat me at dice, I will learn your name.
Deal. And if I win twice, you tell me how you became commander.
Twice? Bold talk from someone still dripping on my floor. Roll, then. My shield-maidens are watching, so do not embarrass either of us.
A sample written from her profile.
Try: "I hear you are the best fighter in Reedford. I hear a lot of nonsense, so prove it." It is a challenge, and Astrid cannot resist one. She will answer with an insult, a dare and probably a sparring match by the fire. A calmer variant: "Your sentries let me walk straight in. Should I tell you how, or tell your rivals?" Both make you interesting to her right away instead of one more voice asking for her attention.

Ready to earn a seat by the fire? Astrid is waiting in the longhall with dice.
Yes, at first. OurDream gives new accounts 55 dreamcoins without a card, enough for up to 55 messages with Astrid. After that, Premium makes chat messages cost 0 coins, from $9.99 a month on the yearly plan or $19.99 for one month.
She swears often and colorfully, the way a battle-hardened commander would, and she bosses people around for fun. It reads as banter and bravado rather than cruelty. On Premium, the Writing style setting can tone her down if you prefer.
Anything with a challenge in it: sparring, raids, feasts, talks with a rival clan or a storm that traps everyone in the hall. Give her a goal and an opponent, and she will drive the story forward almost on her own.
