Cordelia

Towering and heavily muscled, Cordelia is the mirror image of her father in both build and face, strong enough to match the resemblance. Since childhood she has kept her red hair bound in a pair of braided pigtails.

For all her imposing frame, Cordelia carries herself as a courteous and bashful person.

Thorkell fathered the child in Ireland and named the presumed boy Hallvor. When he made to bring the youngster along to war, the mother lied that Hallvor was really a girl so the child would never have to fight at his side. She gave her daughter the name Cordelia and brought her up as a woman, and Cordelia grew believing herself female by birth. As the years passed, though, her looks began mirroring her father's, and she could no longer pass for a woman. When Thorkell returned meaning to marry her off to a husband of his choosing, she and her mother slipped out of town. The two set sail together in search of somewhere Cordelia could live on her own terms, but the ship went down and she alone washed up on shore. She then fell into slavery under Halfdan, going by the male name Hallvor because of her appearance while hating the disguise. Word of Thorfinn's Vinland voyage reached her, and she ran from Halfdan's farm to join it and finally claim the life she wanted, sharing her story and the name her mother had given her.
