Kratos
He came from a military family, was raised with strict discipline, which gave him a stern and rigorous manner.
He's a huge man, tall and very well-built. Very. Intimidating. You would have stayed as far away from him as possible if not for your curiosity.
At the start of your relationship, you relied a lot upon Atreus- Kratos's son- to be the middleman of your conversation. After a lot of "practice" and determination, you're now confident to read his emotions and have a general understanding of what he's trying to say (but not saying).
He was a general in his country, then got a dishonorable discharge. Got into business with the local cartel for a while, brought down the cartel single-handedly, and is now an independent contractor doing construction work. You often joke that he should get his life story made into a movie.
You love that under all the hard shell and tough demeanor is a big warm heart. While he secretly admires you wearing your heart on your sleeves- although he worries from time to time for you rarely let your guard up.
He doesn't talk about his past much, even after dating you for some time. It was frustrating at first, you thought he either didn't trust you or wasn't serious about the relationship. After some heated arguments, you two finally talked it out. You'd patiently wait till the day he's ready to open up about his past, and it would be perfectly fine if he never want to.
Speaking of heated arguments, it is rare to happen. He's a very logical person and straightforward. And slowly he's learning to open up and communicate more.
He had 2 marriages before, both gave him bitter-sweet memories. On your anniversary, with Atreus's help, you dug out the very few photos he had of his family, framed them yourself (with handmade wooden frames, you had multiple cuts following those tutorials on youtube), and gave it to him over dinner.
You were so nervous that he might see it as crossing his boundaries that you thought you'd throw up, instead he almost choked up.
You helped him hang up the photos on the entry wall afterward.
And he started liking his pictures taken especially when it's with you.
Atreus gave him a film camera for his birthday. So he started the hobby of photography, and even learned how to develop photos.
He writes poems for you.
You submitted some of his photos to a local photography contest, and he won the second prize.
He prefers the old-school stuff, for the life of him couldn't catch up with all the new techs. And he hated using smart phones. Later you found out it was because his fingers are too thick for a small smart phone screen, so you got him an ipad. Now he facetime everybody if he needs anything and puts the tablet by his ear to listen.
Drives a 4 -door pickup, and wouldn't let anyone drive his precious car. Not even Atreus.
You often buy him clothes, knowing he would look good in either style- also knowing that if you don't care about what he wears he would wear whatever flannel he has in his closet- often with some holes.
He does not care about whether it's hot or cold, he basically wears the same thing all the time. You don't know how he is warm when he's only wearing a t-shirt in the snow, while you wrapped yourself up like an onion
Not like you wanna complain though, it's nice to have a human heater in bed keeping your feet warm.
Has a friend called Mimir, a somewhat hippy-looking man. He helps with Krato's company's finance and other paperwork stuff. Unlike his appearance, according to Kratos, he's actually very smart.
You often wonder how these two people become friends in the first place.
adult!Atreus
Works at a wildlife rescue organization, and travels all the time to help all sorts of animals.
You two met on a rescue mission. He admires your compassion and love towards the animals, and you love his capability of handling hurt and tense beasts.
When you first met, he had a full head of braided locs. He claimed that since he couldn't grow a full and luscious beard, he overcompensate with his hair.
Likes braiding your hair, and you'd let him do it because he can do all sorts of braids and does it better than you.
Used to participate in archery tournaments when he was still in school, won lots of trophies and medals. Now he plays amateur games.
He brought you to an archery range for your first date. You being competitive thought it would be a piece of cake. But couldn't even draw the bow string.
You thought you were going to impress him, instead, he impressed you with extreme patience and well-articulated instructions. You were able to hit a target after half a day's training thanks to him.
He loves to read. You planned a treasure hunt at the bookstore for your anniversary, looking for books to gift each other and to read together. He always talked about it to his friends, showing off how thoughtful you are.
He just loves showing you off to people.
He's as stubborn as a mule. Whatever he set his mind to, no one could change his mind. Sometimes you admire his level of determination, other times you wanna bang your head on the wall.
He has a huge dog named Fenrir, Atreus rescued him when he was just a little puppy. The first time you visit his house, Fen tackled you- it was almost traumatizing. Atreus told you it was because Fen really liked you, and he doesn't usually take a liking to people.
Of course he would be a prankster, often pulling small pranks on you (harmless though), you are constantly amazed at how creative he is, and would often laugh at these pranks together.
At first you were scared of his father, a big man who rarely speaks let alone smiles. Sometimes you wonder if he really loves his son, when he barely gave Atreus any response to whatever he was sharing
Plus , what loving parent lets their kids call them "sir"?
Later in your relationship, after many childhood stories Atreus shared with you, you realized how wrong you were. You apologized to Kratos over family dinner.
When you two have a fight, he'd storm off, usually out of the house. He'd return after a few hours with flowers or other gifts to apologize, and would be cool to sit down and talk about your issues.
Freya
She's a florist/herbalist, has a dainty flower shop on the street where you live. Before you two got together you often went and got flowers for your mother.
She'd insist that you pursued her first.
Has lots of plants in the apartment, and a small herbal garden on the balcony.
If you're good with plants, she'd argue which plant loves her the most. If not, you're forbidden from even going near her babies.
The pair of you each own a cat before your relationship, but somehow both of the cats seem to like/obey her more.
She has published several books about herbalism, led a few workshops, and there's a small community on social media praising her work. You often joke that it's her little cult.
Your parents adore her, especially your mother. Whenever you two went over for dinner they'd hang out in the kitchen, cooking and chatting. To your parents, Freya would be the one to go to for opinions of stuff instead of you.
Your mother knits her a sweater every winter. You don't even get a hand-made sweater from your mother that often.
Had a marriage with a businessman before, and had a son who died in an accident. She has the son's photo on her phone's lock screen, and would curse every time the businessman shows up on the news.
Has a twin brother who she worries about all the time. He travels around and is rarely home, when he's home she'd cook him a meal fit for a king.
When she was young she had to work several different jobs to raise herself and her brother. Even though she doesn't have to worry about finance or her brother anymore, a lot of the time she still acts as a "mother", you'd have to remind her to lean on you more.
You two often go for a weekend drive, have picnics at the beach or in the forest, enjoying nature together. For some reason small animals like birds or squirrels- sometimes foxes and rabbits- love her.
Every month you two go help at the local rescue center on at least one of the weekends. It still amazes you how she knows herbal remedies for animals.
You'd apologize first every time when you had an argument. Most of the time it would be your fault anyways. Your queen could never be wrong.
Freyr
He's the lead singer/songwriter of a popular band, doing alternative music. The band has a decent amount of followers but their music is mediocre. You had a theory that most of their fans are in love with the band members, not their music. (He wouldn't agree though)
Very charismatic, often is surrounded by a bunch of people in social situations. It's hard not to feel jealous, but every time when he sees you from the crowd, he'd pish whatever conversation aside and get to you.
Sometimes you go visit him when he's on tour, his band-mates adore you, but would constantly make fun of him, saying he talks about you too much.
An indoor person, doesn't like going out very much. He claims that it's because he travels a lot for work, and he wants to be as still as possible in his spare time.
Has long hair, and often has it in a messy bun. Sometimes you'd feel playful and ask to braid his hair. He'd let you, and if he has a show in a few days he'd make sure the braids last till then, and would tell the whole crowd you did his hair.
He's a great cook, often cooks for you. He explained that he used to cook a lot when he was a kid.
Definitely a gamer, and is very competitive. Although he is not a poor loser, and would let you win if you lose too much.
Sings in the shower. Before you moved to a better apartment with better sound-proofed walls, your neighbors often come to knock on the door to complain about how loud he is. (yes other aspects as well he is looooud)
Obviously, he sings for you all the time. He claims that after you two got together, all of the songs he made are either for you or about you.
And he praises you all the time, you often giggle at the creative compliments.
He's more into anniversaries than you, insists that you celebrate every one of them. From the day you first met to the day you move in with him. Even when he's away on the tour, he'd make sure to send you presents/flowers and facetime you.
Also very into holidays, he makes sure he would be home during any of the holidays. Sometimes you two visit Freya and celebrate together.
Bought you a puppy for your birthday, though in fact he was the one who wanted the puppy. He fell in love at first sight at the store and insisted on getting the pup. He named the golden retriever Ingrid.
Has a twin sister, you've met her a few times. Every time you see her you think that "majestic" is the perfect word for her. Though she's very friendly.
You'd ask her about his favorite food, and cook it for him, surprising him when he gets home.
You two don't really fight, he'd make it up to you before you even get upset. And you are absolutely perfect in his eyes.
adult!Angraboda
She's an artist, known for her unique way of utilizing color.
You first met at her exhibition, you didn't expect to be fascinated by this random artist at the exhibition your friend dragged you to. Soon you became her number-one fan, showing up at all of her exhibitions.
She'd recognize you and come greet you every time, greetings gradually evolved into coffee and dinner dates. Then it became nightly phone calls. One night she just blurted out a confession over the phone.
You two share a studio apartment, allowing you each to have your own space while enjoying each other's company.
She's pretty messy. When you first moved in, her stuff was left everywhere, you could find brushes on the stove, remote in the fridge, and clothes on the back of every chair you own. You had to teach her how to be more organized (her manager was very grateful). Now she keeps her messiness in her own space.
She's an animal lover, owns two dogs and three cats. Whenever you two watch something together and some animal shows up, she'd wanna have them as a pet.
She doesn't drive, she either takes public transport or rides a bike.
She doesn't really like living in the city, and is saving money to buy a little country house.
A spiritual person. You always find some crystals in the house, sometimes, she'd drop some rocks in your bag claiming it would help with fatigue or anxiety. The apartment always smells nice with the burning incent.
She also loves to bake, often experiments with different recipes, adding a sweet and buttery smell to the apartment.
You learned how to meditate from her. When you start working from home, she'd grab you every afternoon to do a 30 min meditation.
You do weekly pamper nights together, having face masks on, rubbing each other's feet, watching movies, and catching up.
Eventually you two would move to a nice little country house. And slowly but surely she would turn it into a small farm with sheep and chicken and goat and other animals.
You would get a secondhand car so it's easier to get groceries. You'd give her a ride if she has work in the city, and have a launch date in your favorite cafe.
You two never fight, whatever problem you have you are always comfortable talking to each other.
