Sigyn’s way is simple: constancy of heart, in the face of hatred, opposition, jealousy, slander, exhaustion, grief, anguish, rage, despair and a thousand other obstacles that life has a way of creating. She is constancy of purpose.

[We] call Sigyn “My Lady of the Staying Power,” because She is vast, and Her strength is vast even as it is so completely unassuming. It simply is and will not be moved. She is the “Lady of Unyielding Gentleness” for much the same reason. Her gentleness of spirit is Her shield and Her strength, and in it She is fierce. Her devotion is Her armor.

Take notes here Marvel if you decide to try this character again in future.

^^^All of this. Though there is still a lot of assumption that because a woman is gentle, she cannot also be strong. (Or that in order to be strong, she has to wield a big ol’ sword.)
