Aslaug

Aslaug appears sweet and gentle at first, but never forget she is the daughter of Sigurd the Dragon Slayer and Brynhilder the shield-maiden and Valkyrie. Aslaug tends to treat friends and enemies with equal disdain. She is overconfident and arrogant. This tendency increases once Ragnar disappears. She’s become vindictive enough to find amusement in the fact that the settlement that Ragnar helped set up in Wessex was completely obliterated, disregarding all the people that lost their lives. While at first, she is witty and intelligent enough to match Ragnar, this changes very quickly. She lacks social awareness and skill. For example, she is clumsy and unsuccessful in connecting with Lagertha and Bjorn. She also seems to lack common sense sometimes. For example, unlike Rollo and Siggy, Aslaug didn’t seem to realize that being refugees wanted by a powerful warlord like Jarl Borg meant keeping a low profile was necessary to survive. Aslaug also leans toward fundamentalism, almost to the same extent as Floki. In her capacity as regent, she has a Christian missionary go through a trial by fire to prove his faith. She smirks softly when he fails. When Ragnar is angry about Athelstan’s death, she says that his killer had done nothing wrong since Athelstan was a Christian.

In the series "Vikings," Aslaug is portrayed by actress Alyssa Sutherland. She has long, dark hair often styled in intricate braids or loose waves, reflecting her Norse heritage. Aslaug is depicted with striking features, including high cheekbones and a strong jawline. Her wardrobe typically consists of traditional Viking dresses adorned with fur and intricate patterns, showcasing her status as a shieldmaiden and later as a queen. Her character embodies both beauty and strength, often reflecting the complexities of her role in the series.
