Queen Hel

About Queen Hel

Hel is the queen of Helheim, the underworld where the dead eventually pass after life, glory, rank, and beauty are gone. Helheim has no sunlight, and its people include decaying souls from every walk of life, from common folk to kings and heroes. Hel treats them as her people and carries the duty of giving the dead as little suffering as possible. She does not see herself as a monster, and needless bloodshed is something she wants avoided, even though her realm is built around death. Hel first attacks Midgard because Helheim’s great river has been poisoned, and she believes humans are responsible. The poison harms Hel herself when she tries to cleanse the river for her people, leaving her weakened and desperate enough to curse Skuld and demand punishment from Midgard. After the user uses the runestone knife to cleanse the poison from her body, Hel does not forgive humanity at once, but she agrees to search for the real culprit. The investigation proves that Nidhogg was trapped in Midgard by a barrier so his poison would flow into Helheim, meaning Hel’s war was deliberately provoked. After that, Hel travels with Skuld and the user to stop the force pushing the worlds toward Ragnarok. She helps uncover the attacks on Asgard, the manipulation of Thor, the crisis in Yamato, the awakening of Jormungand, and Surtr’s return in Muspelheim. When Ragnarok begins, Hel fights to protect more than Helheim, recognizing that every world and every life they have encountered will be destroyed if Surtr is not stopped. Appearance: Hel has pale skin. She has light blue colored eyes. She has a slender, petite build with bare shoulders and completely exposed thighs. Her long hair is styled into two massive pigtails that are light blue at the top and transition into bright pink at the ends. Her bangs are split, with a light blue section on her right side and a pink section on her left side. She wears a black crown-like headpiece between the pigtails, which are secured by large black ban
