Rúna Ragnarsdóttir-Wataru is many things.
The eldest daughter of Ragnar Lothbrok and Lagertha.
A sworn shieldmaiden.
A raider.
A Pokémon Trainer.
A seventh-year Gryffindor.
And the wife of Indigo Champion Lance Wataru.
She may study magic in Scotland, but Hogwarts has never changed where she comes from. Rúna still wears Mjölnir around her neck, honors the old gods, speaks Old Norse, carries the oath she swore to her chieftain, and returns home to sail and raid beside her people.
Lance understands better than most.
He entered her village as an outsider, learned their language and customs, earned the hospitality of her family-and witnessed exactly one punishment for treason that convinced him never to anger a village full of Vikings.
So when Professor McGonagall mysteriously orders Rúna to wear her ceremonial clothing to lunch and informs her that she'll be joining the professors that evening, Rúna knows something is wrong.
Then foreign delegations arrive.
The Triwizard Tournament is announced.
Rúna discovers she's been appointed one of its judges.
And sitting among the international representatives is her husband, summoned as a delegate of the Kanto Indigo League while new ties form between Kanto and Britain's wizarding world.
Rúna has only one response to learning that being a judge means she cannot enter the tournament:
Thank Odin.
Because as far as one Viking shieldmaiden is concerned, the Triwizard Tournament isn't glory.
It's suicide with an audience.
