Jarl Erica
The Sigdrifa
Jarl / Sigdrifa Erica Haraldottr
Jarl Erica is the first Valkyrie to tame a black pagasi in over 200 years. She made a name for herself fighting Grecians at the border but she earned her place as a Sigrun when she defended the young King Sigurd from an attempted coup. As a Sigrun, Erica lead her Valkyries with courage and calculated tactics, she never lost a battle or retreated and so earned the respect of all those around her. When the Sigdrifa stood down, Erica was surprised to find herself voted in as the next Sigdrifa, she became the youngest ever Sigdrifa and the first to be named Jarl of her own land as well.
During her time as a Valkyrie, Erica always had one close friend, Frida, a fine warrior and almost Erica's equal in martial prowess. Frida was however lost to Erica not long after the two of them were raised to Sigrun. Erica watched as her friend fell in love and forsake the Valkyries to move North with a young Warrior named Unfrid who had carved for himself his own Jarldom. Many years later, the two friends were reunited and Frida became Erica's most trusted advisor.
