* NANNA *

She is the wife of Balder and mother of Forseti . Their home is Breidablik in Asgard.

At Balder's funeral, the grief caused her to die from a broken heart, and the gods put her on Balder's funeral pyre next to him on his ship Hringhorni, which was described as the 'greatest of all ships', the largest ship in the world.

The gods were unable to move the great ship and needed help from the giantess Hyrrokkin, who was incredible strong.
She rode a giant wolf with vipers for reins. Hyrrokkin was able to launch the giant ship to sea, but with her imense strength, the launch caused the rollers under the ship to set on fire.
This angered Thor , who wanted to kill her (his favorite hobby was – after all – killing giants) but the other gods talked him out of it; after all, she had helped them and it was a funeral.

Nanna and Balder went to Hel ', where they stay until Ragnarok.

Not much else is said about her, and I barely found any illustrations of her that I thought fit, but I imagine a charachter known for dying of a broken heart must look pretty sad..
