Kára was a Valkyrie, one of the fierce warrior women known as the “choosers of the slain” who served Odin. During Ragnarök, the Valkyries chose who would die and escorted souls to Valhalla, a realm of the dead in Norse mythology. Kára’s name likely means “the wild, stormy one,” derived from the Old Norse word afkárr, meaning “wild.”
