Alfhildr Eira Sjöfndottir

SHE DID NOT WILLINGLY ABANDON LOKI

Also if you are a Heimdall rper and would like to disregard the shippy thing that’s fine, I mostly added it in for an explanation of Boastful Loki in the show. The reasoning being that she was very newly pregnant when the arrangement was made and she was sent off to be married but didn't realize it because when he was born he was in his frost giant form bc of being on Jotunheim.

Eira was born to Sjöfn who was known as the Goddess of Love to Midgardian’s and her husband Tormod when her elder half sister Hela was just past what would be considered her toddler years on earth, Even though she sister tended to give her the cold shoulder she always looked up to her sister’s strength and hoped to be strong enough to protect the people she cared about like she was-even if she didn’t agree with all of her methods and ideologies. Because of this she went into training the be a part of the Asgardian Guard that stood watch over the kingdom when Odin and Hela were away fighting to bring the Nine Realms under Asgard’s rule.

Growing up Eira’s passion for being a great warrior who could protect those around her never waned, however she did hope to one day find love and start a family; that only strengthened her resolve to be as strong as she could be however. It was a few years before Odin decided to try to find a less bloody way to bring peace to the Nine Realms that Eira began a courtship with Heimdall, the two becoming serious enough that they had begun talking about the possibility of marriage. When Odin sealed away Hela in Hel and tried to broker peace between Asgard and Jotunheim and Laufey chose to demand an arranged union between the two of them due to the belief that her potential for magic from her mother along with her Frost Giant lineage on her father’s side would produce him a strong heir, she accepted despite her parents protests and the look he had given her when she told him of her decision.

The last time she saw her Mother she was crying, her Father looked like he was ready to tear down the bifrost himself so that she didn’t have to go, and Heimdal refused to look in her direction  as he opened the bridge for her to go through. When she bore Laufey his first son(Loki) and it was seen how small he was though Laufey threw her out with a curse and banished her to Midguard before abandoning Loki, only for Odin to find him later on when he went to Jotunheim to confirm what Heimdall had told him about what had happened to Eira; though he ended up telling her parents she had died as he assumed that without the aide of the bifrost no one would survive the trip to Midguard. Eira survived though thanks to the bit of magic she had learned from her Mother and Aunt when she was young and fought to get back to Jotunheim and her son, however she wasn’t able to.

Many years later when Loki attacked New York she had given up hope, figuring that her son had died after being abandoned. At one point she was in the far north, in a cold abandoned cave allowing herself to go into a sort of hibernation in the frigged cold for as long as her body would let her. She stayed like that for a few hundred years before waking up some time in the 80′s and has been working with S.H.I.E.L.D. for about 10 years now. However she questioned Nick Fury about the battle of New York she was given information about Loki and who exactly he was, before that the S.H.I.E.L.D. director had had no idea that she was Loki’s birth mother. Soon after she began trying to contact Asgard, however she’s had no luck so far.
