THEME SONG ⬎

MAD WOMAN - TAYLOR SWIFT

❝Every time you call me crazy

I get more crazy

What about that?

And when you say I seem angry, I get more angry

And there's nothing like a mad woman

What a shame she went mad

No one likes a mad woman

You made her like that.❞

AUTHOR'S NOTE ⬎

Eldrid is the most spontaneous creation of my mind ever. It was partly thanks to -LUNAXTICS who inspired me to write my own Last Kingdom fanfiction. But despite that I've only "known" Eldrid for about two weeks now, she's one of the most complex characters I've ever written. There really aren't words to describe her. She is so intense, reckless and passionate. She's a very flawed character who has done horribly things in the name of love but her redemption arc is one of the greatest things my mind has ever come up with.

I've never fallen in love with an oc as quickly as I did with Eldrid. I hope, once her story is published, that you guys will love her too, even with all her flaws and shortcomings. (Which a certain Irish warrior all finds very sexy).
