Magnar Character in Wynsumheord | World Anvil

Magnar

Magnar

At twenty years of age, the eldest son of Havardir is brave, gallant, and always up for adventure. Magnar is devoted to being knightly and helping whenever he can, but his eagerness, however, can sometimes lead to foolishness. Though, like his father, Magnar is skillful and cunning in war, he unfortunately is more prone to falling for crafty schemes that don't involve direct combat.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Magnar is a very tough warrior. Ever since he was but a lad, he looked up to his father Havardir and wanted to be just like him. He wanted to go on hunting troops and track down great beasts. He wanted to protect villages and rescue damsels in distress. He loved contests and constantly strived to always be the best. He was quick to get offended and angry, and he saw everything as a challenge. Magnar would like to sneak and do things purely for the thrill of it, being bold and venturing without permission. As he grew older, he became less competitive. He would go on hunts with his father Havardir. Magnar strived to be a gallant gentleman and an honorable and skilled member of The Mundbyrdians   Magnar loved his brother Syndri very much and played with him a lot. They would build fortresses and play games of beasts and dragons. Magnar vowed at a very young age that he would protect his brother at all costs. As the boys grew older, Magnar began going on quests with Havardir until his father became injured. This is when he desired his brother to come alongside him on his escapades. Reluctant at first, Syndri finally decided to come along.

Magnar's bravery and boldness rubbed off on Syndri a little, and Syndri's kindness and compassion rubbed off on Magnar a little.

Nicknames & Petnames

History

Anselma loved Magnar, but she didn't want to. She was afraid to fall in love due to a horrible vision she had years ago when she was but a child. She dreamt that the sun shone and everyone was gathered for her wedding. She couldn't see her groom, but once they exchanged vows, gloomy clouds rolled in and the overcast caused all of the onlookers to fall.   She never told anyone except her closest friend- her mother- as she combed her hair, and as the years went by, her mother forgot (or never mentioned it again) but it loomed over Anselma, haunting her daily. She kept her guard up trying to make sure that no one could ever steal her heart.   By happenstance, Magnar caught her when her guard was completely down. Hiding behind a tree, he spied her. She was bathing in the river without a care in the world. When she noticed him, she pretended he didn't, then vanished beneath the blue.   When Magnar curiously crept to the shore, she appeared behind him. She tried to keep her head steadily on her shoulders, and she played a trick on him, getting him to remove his clothes and plunge into the river. By the time he emerged, she'd taken his garments and was long gone.   Magnar went on many adventures after this, but was never able to shake the idea of her from his mind. His heart ached for her and he vowed to find her again. Syndri poked much fun at him for this, but Magnar was serious.   Anselma couldn't stop thinking about the man. They hadn't even exchanged names, but she felt so close to him. She longed to see him again, but her heart was afraid. Could this strange feeling be love? Probably so, she reasoned, and made an extreme effort to forget him (although she could never bring herself to discard of the keepsake she stole from him).   Later on, they met again. Both were delighted. He showed it. She hid it. She tried to brush him off, but he was relentless. She helped out on a couple of missions with the brothers, disappearing and reappearing, even traveling and camping with them. She warmed up to him more and more but didn't want to give in to his attempts at stirring romance.   As they grew closer, he decided he'd skip the courting process and just out and ask her to marry him. She denied him twice, but on the third ask, she surprised herself with a YES.   Then, she was afraid. But they did get married anyway, and, unfortunately, the prophecy was fulfilled.   Nevertheless, they wed, and handled the storms together.

Nicknames & Petnames

Anselma doesn't care for any nicknames much, but Magnar calls her anything from darling to sweetheart to my love, to thou sweet magnolia blossom, but most of these were in his "trying to get the girl" phase where he felt he needed to impress her because she wasn't showing enough interest and he was ready for the relationship to progress. Basically, those were a hopeless romantic's vain attempts of climbing out of the friendzone.

Shared Acquaintances

Anselma is very fond of Syndri and often jokes about him being cuter than Magnar.
