Gnorhild the Viking

Languages: English and German

Gnorhild knows Vikings had a complex culture and were amazing travellers who traded and voyaged from Baghdad to Newfoundland, but she’s still putting horns on this costume. C’mon, it’s the Ladybug Queen’s masquerade ball!

She’s available separately or as part of the Grimblewoods Collection Volume 2.
