I desire to live a totally different kind of life. I plan to build a farmstead. Just like the one Ragnar and I lived in when we were first married, where we were all so happy. I plan to build it in the countryside. Untroubled by the problems of running a large and prosperous town.

Lagertha is a respected warrior and the former Queen of Kattegat. Her parents were farmers. She was raised as a shieldmaiden and learned to be brave and strong early on. Through the loss of her children, Lagertha has come to understand that Freyja's fertility is for others and that her path as a warrior Valkyrie was predestined by the goddess. Lagertha is very strong-willed and determined when it comes to protecting her family - and the throne. She was a shieldmaiden who fought alongside her male war companions and who proved herself very skilled in battle. Just like her former husband, Ragnar Lothbrok, she has a sense of adventure, equal to her strong ambition and desire to rule. In addition to her physical abilities, she is a person who loves those close to her, such as Ragnar, her surviving son Björn, her deceased daughter Gyda, her friends and allies. She is compassionate, loving towards those she loves and has her heart in the right place despite her bad sides. While she uses her power wisely and justly, she is vicious towards those she considers enemies. She is therefore impulsive in some situations and does not hesitate to attack what she sees as her enemies, without thinking about the possible consequences. She also demonstrated her desire for revenge by killing Aslaug after she had already surrendered to Lagertha. Lagertha is very fond of children, even though the seer told her that she would not have any other children apart from Björn and Gyda. This prophecy came true, but was considered dangerous by Ragnar, as she took unhealthy and unfounded risks during her pregnancy in order to "prove" that the prophecy was correct and unchangeable. In the end, she said that Ivar was a usurper, despite the fact that she herself is a usurper and Ivar has more right to claim the throne of Kattegat than she does. Because by divorcing Ragnar, she lost all rights to the throne, while Ivar is the son of Ragnar and Aslaug, Kattegat's previous rulers. Totally against Ivar's prohibition and despite the contempt she showed her, she trained Edda as a shieldmaiden, gave her her sword and officially appointed her as the new leader of the shieldmaidens. Despite the difficulties, she has loving feelings towards Edda and great respect for the young princess. Marcellus, whom she supported from the beginning, creating a loving and close bond between the two, adopted her and considers her her son.
