The thing that makes Sigyn dangerous isn’t that she’s violent or cruel; it’s that she could be, and chooses to be gentle instead. In a world where everyone is always expecting harshness and punishment, receiving kindness and empathy in their place not only surprises people, but draws them to you. It wins love as well as loyalty—and there’s nothing more powerful than someone who has the love and loyalty of so many people who were likely used to nothing but cruelty and rejection before they met her.
