The God of Winter, dangerous and delicate, roams across the places he can access. Snow flows from his sparkling pelt to the ground, the planet soon blanketed in the soft, cold white. Ice spreads over the ground wherever he steps, leaving footprints that are soon covered by the frost that follows. His eyes, though cold, hold the promise of warmth, of cheer and love, of heat in the snow.

Deity Name:Fannar Bjorn
Gender:
Fanner is the Icelandic name for snow drift while Bjorn is the Old Norse name for bear. He prefers to be called Bjorn.God
Element:Winter
Personality:I've been with Bjorn for about a week now, lost in this place which his calls his realm. There are many things that I've learned about his personality, thus far, and I'll organize it by a few categories to make it easier to understand.
Art:
Social:
Saying that Bjorn is a shy creature would be the most inaccurate thing that I could possibly say. By no means is he timid, shy, or reserved--no, that's definitely wrong. I would say that he's introverted, maybe a bit anti-social, as he doesn't spend all of his time socializing with me or other creatures. He's rather reflective and thoughtful about the world, making his viewpoint within his silence, absorbing all of the details that he can without having to speak. However, he is willing to socialize, if what he he needs can be only obtained through asking or talking to someone or something. Surprisingly, I have found that Bjorn can be a bit awkward with socializing at times, in the aspect that he has difficulties predicting how a person will react to what he has to say. He can be a bit too blunt at times, especially when he doesn't know the person or being very well.
Intelligence:
Bjorn just... amazes me with his intelligence level, aptitude for learning, and critical thinking skills. It's quite a silly thing to be surprised with, to be honest, since you would expect him to be intelligent with his massive, personal library of ancient texts, philosophy books, and other books and three seasons to spend teaching himself. He learns so quickly that I personally have some difficulties keeping up with him when I talk to him about the human world. However, this does come with some disadvantages, as he does have a tendency to get things wrong after I talk to him, forcing me to correct him, which has a tendency to upset him whenever he gets wrong. His willingness to learn is also something that I would like to address. His mind is so open and free that I can't help but envy him--he has no limit with his lack of ignorance. I think his intelligence is the main reason that I've come to really enjoy his presence and the conversations that we have.
Temperament:
Well, I can say that Bjorn isn't as calm as you would expect him to be. He can get rather frustrated easily, specifically when he just doesn't understand a concept or has to be corrected by me. He tries to be patient, I'm well-aware of that, but it just doesn't work out sometimes.
Arrogance and Vanity:
As a deity that hasn't had one-on-one human contact with a human in who knows how many years, you probably wouldn't be surprised whenever I say that Bjorn takes a bit too much pride in himself. He can talk down to me like I'm nothing more than a speck in the wind, which can frustrate me at times (going back to being a bit too blunt at times and socially inadequate). I've been trying to break of his habits of calling me mortal, and his messengers as servants. So far, it isn't working out in the least bit.
Kindness:
Well, I can tell you that Bjorn, as of right now, isn't what you would define as kind. As I mentioned before, he's rather blunt and brutally honest with what he says, sometimes hurting other people's feelings. I'm personally not effected by his brutally honest ways, as I realize that I can learn from what he honestly tells me. Others, not so much. He has shown his kind side a few times, like when he allowed me stay in his realm and not have to return to my own home, so I could learn about deities like him. I feel, however, that he will turn out to be a much kinder deity as I slowly get to know him.Here. I was a bit busy and unable to post the entire thing due to school.
P.S. Here's some stunning fanart done by my good friend Sayna Jaye
