1x03: Dispossessed
In and out in a flurry of violence and terror, Ragnar and his crew raid the monastery in Lindisfarne for everything it contains, from treasure to monks who can be sold as slaves. Unable to ignore the riches this unsanctioned journey has returned, Earl Haraldson has no choice but to agree to let these warriors undertake a second trip out.

roots: Is your OC's look inspired by any specific style of clothing or fashion trend? What are the roots and/or inspiration for their look?
For Aldreda!
change: Has your OC ever drastically changed their appearance? Significant haircuts, big tattoos, complete wardrobe swap, etc? Why? How do they feel about the change?
for Ella!
Aldreda
I tend to be very "what's the vibe I'm trying to convey" when I get down to the details of what a character looks like. Like Shireen is a "pretty princess from a pre-raphaelite painting," Aldreda is "badass warrior princess filtered through pop culture's view of the viking age." It's all about the specific energy that helps craft the character that lives in my brain.
So she's kind of the least "historically accurate" (whatever that means for a fantasy series) of my HOTD OCs because there's not anything even remotely historical saved to her pinterest board. But that doesn't matter, because the vibe is there. She's an extra from Vikings (2013), she's Eva Green on Camelot, she's Keira Knightly in the 3rd Pirates Of The Caribbean movie & she is never going to die because the blood she's covered in is someone else's.
Ella
I wouldn't say anything incredibly drastic happens with her look (especially not when you would expect it. Very surprising lack of Trauma Haircut), she mostly just builds upon the way she's been doing things since she was 11. There is a change, though, which occurs around that time, lmao.
Ella changes how she does her hair after claiming Vermithor. She goes from a lot of floucy, honestly kinda haphazard, "I can have hair in my face, it doesn't matter if some comes loose" styles to more severe "everything out of the way of my face & pulled back" because her dad told her that was better for flying. And she just...never changes that. She got used to it & also he was kinda right about keeping her hair out of the way so she can see where she's going.

This was created for the winter solstice event hosted by @vikingsevents for the prompt holly.
270 word drabble below the cut. No warnings apply. Pairing: Aslaug x Siggy Bjornsdottir.
GIF by @underragingwaves
“Siggy!” Aslaug laughed breathlessly, chasing after the little girl, “Not too far, stay where I can see you!”
Siggy’s shrill, childish giggles rebounded off of the trees as her tiny legs propelled her through the forest.
She squealed, a pair of soft, delicate hands lifting her off of her feet and spinning her around.
“Got you” Aslaug huffed, maneuvering the child to sit snug against her hip. “You are going to need a bath when we get home. You are filthy!”
Siggy squirmed as Aslaug’s thumb swiped gently across the mud on her cheek. “Mama, no!”
The nickname made Aslaug’s heart twinge. If only the poor girl knew the truth of the birth parents that hadn’t wanted her. She would do all she could to live up to the honour of being this abandoned little girl’s mother.
The child’s hands found their way into her mother’s auburn hair as she walked her home, fetching out a stray leaf and holding it up to the light like a prize. “What’s this?”
“A holly leaf, Siggy. It must have caught in my hair when we were playing.”
“Holly?”
“Mmmm. And did you know that holly provides protection from the gods?”
The leaf is still clenched tightly in Siggy’s fist as she stares up at Aslaug wide eyed. “But we only have one leaf.”
“Then it is just as well you have the protection of your mama too”, she smiles down at her, “As long as you take a bath!”
The leaf still rests in Siggy’s hand as she drifts off to sleep that night, safe in the knowledge that both the gods and Aslaug are watching over her.

ㅤㅤㅤSiggy is the daughter of Bjorn and Thorunn. Bjorn named her after Siggi, Jarl Haraldson's ex-wife, who sacrificed herself to save his stepbrothers after they fell into the lake. Siggy got the beauty and stubbornness of his mother. Admiring her famous grandmother Lagertha, she followed in her footsteps and became a warrior.
ㅤㅤㅤAU in which the girls survived and did not die early.
