Her mother died when she was young, leaving her distant from her father, the Jarl. While he expected her to marry into power, Ragna yearned for a life of purpose, not just politics. She secretly trained with the guards, learning swordplay and archery, and spent time among the town’s hunters and trackers, gaining a reputation for her sharp instincts and quick wit. Despite her father’s wishes, she has yet to accept any suitors. Instead, she watches and listens, knowing that power comes in many forms—and she intends to claim her own.
