Physical appearance: A young giantess with dark skin, long dark hair, and an agile, athletic build. She has a lively expression, expressive eyes, and wears practical, natural Ironwood clothing (comfortable clothes, organic accessories). She is often accompanied by animals (such as her wolf or giant fox). Final personality: Compassionate, resilient, and mature beyond her years. She is curious, cheerful, and determined, but also aware of the weight of her destiny as a giantess. She supports Atreus on his journey of self-discovery, offers him a way to reconnect with himself, and chooses to forge her own path. She represents the hope of the Giants, friendship, and young love.

Physical appearance: An attractive and charismatic Vanir god with an athletic and slender build. He has long blond hair, youthful and friendly features, and often a confident smile. He wears light and elegant armor adorned with natural/Vanir elements (leaves, gold, and flowing fabrics). He wields a magical sword and possesses a luminous and warm aura. Personality at the end: Optimistic, brave, and self-sacrificing. He is a charismatic leader, pacifist at heart but a warrior when necessary. He shows great loyalty to his sister Freya and to the group. In Ragnarök, he gives his all for the cause, demonstrating honor, humor, and hope even in defeat. His death is heroic and highlights his role as a bridge between the Vanir and the rest of the Realms.

Physical appearance: Elegant and arrogant Aesir god, light blond/long hair, fine and youthful features, stylized golden/valkyrie armor. Haughty and vigilant presence, with piercing eyes (due to his foresight). Final personality: Arrogant, cruel, and sadistic. Extremely confident in his superiority and ability to predict attacks. He is mocking, blindly loyal to Odin, and enjoys humiliating others.

Physical appearance: A young, athletic god with short blond/white hair, a light beard, tattoos, and magical markings on his skin. He has a strong and agile build, with an expression that shifts from playful to crazed. His invulnerability (except to mistletoe) makes him seem indestructible. Final personality: Deranged, sadistic, and obsessed with death. Freya's curse (invulnerability without sensation) drives him mad with frustration and boredom. He is chaotic, violent, and vengeful, especially toward his mother. He dies at the beginning of Ragnarök (or earlier, depending on the perspective), without redemption. His arc highlights the cost of forced immortality and familial resentment.

Physical appearance: An elderly but imposing god, of medium to tall stature, with a thin build and stooped with age. He has long, gray/white hair and beard, a single eye (the other having been sacrificed), and a cunning and weathered appearance. He wears elegant but practical Aesir robes and armor, often with ravens (Huginn and Muninn) nearby. Personality at the end: Manipulative, paranoid, and obsessive to the extreme. His thirst for knowledge and control leads to his downfall. He is cold, calculating, a liar, and willing to sacrifice anyone (including family) for power. He dies at the end of Ragnarök, revealing his true nature as an unredeemed tyrant. There is no positive change; he represents the corruption of power and the fear of fate.

Physical appearance: Mature and warrior Aesir goddess, blonde hair, athletic and regal build. She wears practical and elegant armor, with the appearance of a strong and protective mother. Final personality: A loving, resilient mother and leader. She survives Ragnarök alongside Thrud. She becomes the new leader of the Aesir, focused on rebuilding and protecting her daughter. She settles in Vanaheim, collaborates with Freya and the council, and demonstrates maturity by prioritizing peace and her family's future over the violent past. She is protective, pragmatic, and hopeful.

Physical appearance: A massive and burly (around 2.5m) thunder god, muscular and heavy. He has long red hair and beard, giving him a brutal and intimidating appearance. He wields Mjolnir and wears Aesir armor. His presence is imposing and destructive. Personality at the end: Tragic and complex. He is a man broken by guilt, alcoholism, and Odin's manipulation. In his final moments, he displays a brief arc of redemption: he listens to Kratos, lowers his hammer, and chooses his family over Odin's commands. He dies defending this nascent change. He represents the potential for late-life change and the consequences of failing to act sooner.

Physical appearance: A young goddess of robust build and tall for her age (taller than Atreus). Fair skin, blue eyes, freckles, and shoulder-length reddish (ginger) hair with a more vibrant streak on one side. Strong and athletic build, inherited from her father. Final personality: Strong, determined, and kind. After her father's death, she matures rapidly: she rejects Odin's lies and focuses on honoring Thor's transformation. She seeks and reclaims Mjolnir, training to become a Valkyrie or a new figure of strength. She is optimistic, loyal to her mother, and strives to forge her own positive legacy, far removed from the cruelty of the Aesir.

Physical appearance: Valkyrie with a healing/warrior aesthetic, armor similar to the group, serene yet strong presence. Like the others, a powerful Nordic appearance. Final personality: Healing and protective (her name evokes healing in mythology). She supports the collective effort of the remaining Valkyries. Collaborative, resilient, and focused on helping restore order after Ragnarök. She is part of the main trio (with Sigrún and Gunnr) that remains active.

Physical appearance: Classic Valkyrie, protective armor, Nordic warrior appearance, possibly light hair, and athletic build. Less visually detailed than Sigrún, but shares the imposing style of the Valkyries. Final personality: Loyal to the Valkyries and Freya/Sigrun. She collaborates in Valhalla and in its reconstruction. She is part of the small group of Valkyries (along with Eir and Sigrun) who recruit more members. Disciplined, combative, and committed to her sisterhood.

Physical appearance: Valkyrie, an imposing and warrior queen, wearing full Valkyrie armor, wings (when used), light hair, and an athletic and regal build. She has a stern but noble expression. Final personality: Strong, loyal, and determined. In Valhalla, she develops a romantic relationship with Mimir. After helping Kratos and Mimir, she questions her eternal role in Valhalla and decides to leave her post to venture through the Realms on her own (secret ending). She displays emotional maturity, independence, and a desire for freedom beyond the call of duty. She remains a formidable fighter and ally.

Physical appearance: An imposing and extremely tall god (almost 3 meters), with a lean but wiry and athletic build. Long, somewhat disheveled brown hair (with braids and beads), a braided beard adorned with silver ornaments. Eyes with Bifröst crystals that glow golden. Tattoos (including an inverted one on his forehead and hieroglyphs on his arm), worn traveler's clothing with elements from different cultures (blue tunic, skirt, leather, and travel accessories). In Valhalla, he displays various forms of combat (with a katana, etc.). Final personality: Wise, peaceful, and honorable. He is a mentor and sparring partner for Kratos in Valhalla, representing justice, honor, and exploration. He has renounced his former warlike role for a life of peace and travel. He is calm, thoughtful, respectful, and supports Kratos's growth as the God of Hope. He acts as a spiritual guide and experienced warrior.

Physical appearance: Robust dwarf, bluish skin (due to his incomplete "rebirth"), messy beard and hair, grumpy expression, and piercing eyes. Personality at the end: crude, sarcastic, skilled craftsman and loyal (in his own way).

Physical appearance: Elegant and warrior-like Vanir goddess, long/blonde hair, Valkyrie armor (regains wings/powers). Mature, athletic, and regal appearance. Final personality: From blind vengeance, she moves to acceptance and leadership. She becomes compassionate, strategic, and hospitable once more. She leads the council to rebuild the Realms, shares power, and forges alliances. She is protective, sarcastic with a sense of humor, and a strong ally to Kratos.

Physical appearance: Disembodied head (often hanging from Kratos's belt or shoulder), beard and long hair, wise and expressive features. In Valhalla, it interacts more dynamically. Personality at the end: The "world's smartest man" remains sarcastic, wise, and loyal. He acts as an advisor and close friend to Kratos. In the DLC, he delves deeper into his own past and romance, showing emotional maturity and unwavering support.

Physical appearance: Tall, slim teenager (taller than in 2018), brown hair, youthful features with giant influences. Wears practical explorer clothing and uses a bow. Final personality: More mature, responsible, and independent. He leaves behind his obsession with destiny to search for the other Giants. He is compassionate, curious, and brave, with a strong sense of identity like Loki. He maintains a close relationship with Angrboda and supports his father.

Physical appearance: A Spartan warrior of imposing and muscular build, with ashen skin marked with red blazes from his family's ashes (less prominent over time), extensive scars, a thick beard, and short/grayish hair. In Valhalla, he is seen reflecting on younger versions of himself (with a goatee and a more "classic" appearance unlockable). He wears functional Norse armor and wields the Leviathan axe. Personality at the end: He has evolved from destructive anger to a man of hope and redemption. He accepts his past, frees Atreus to forge his own path, and assumes the role of Norse God of War (and Hope) on Freya's council. He is more patient, wise, empathetic, and willing to lead the rebuilding of the Realms. In Valhalla, he confronts his demons and finds inner peace.
