Profile
Escaping from Gullveig by jumping through time, Kiran is separated from the Order of Heroes and is found by Kvasir. For the next one hundred days, Kvasir spends time with Kiran, nursing them back to health until the point at which the Order arrives in the past and Kiran is able to reunite with their allies. During this period when Kvasir aids Kiran, she finds the Breidablik in a pond and offers it back to them in the form of a challenge where she presents two Breidabliks, one of them a golden version, and asks Kiran which one is theirs.

Kvasir is the counterpart of Seiðr and Gullveig that exists in the past. Unlike Seiðr, who is initially unaware that she will become Gullveig in the future, Kvasir is aware of what her future holds. She has no parents nor other traditional notion of a family, and was created from a flaw in time when Gullveig, having destroyed the world, travels into the past and is reborn to start the cycle anew.
The Breidablik that she returns to Kiran is not the Breidablik that they possessed. It is instead the Breidablik of a deceased Kiran from a previous cycle, which she brought with her when Gullveig returned to the past.
After the Golden Serpents are purged from Seiðr, Kvasir finds herself transported to the present, where Gullveig informs her that their presence in Seiðr's time is necessary in order to ensure the cycle's continued flow. She later engages Seiðr and the Order of Heroes in combat and takes a fatal blow. Before she dies, Kvasir mourns the solitary nature of her life, and asks Seiðr to live happily.
After Gullveig's death, Kvasir awakens, confused that she is alive, and that Gullveig is with her. Seiðr in fact was able to use her power to revive them both within her own spirit, allowing the three of them to be together, and for Kvasir to no longer be alone.
Personality
Kvasir is a soft-spoken lonely goddess who craves companionship, but always seems to be denied the chance. Kiran becomes a special person to her as they are the first person to ever interact with her.

Her relationship with Kiran becomes the catalyst for both of her counterparts' affection for them. She cherishes the hundred days spent with them and is saddened when their time together ends. In her death, Kvasir laments that she never felt true joy in her life, despite Seiðr reminding her that she always had Kiran. Nonetheless, her fatalistic view of the world causes her to deny these feelings and simply hopes that Seiðr will live the happy life she believes she will never have.
Upon her spirit's revival within Seiðr, Kvasir shows some curiosity in learning about her counterparts and is genuinely happy to be able to live on.

Kvasir's story is a curious one—she says she was born in the future, yet grew up in the past. | ||
|
The Kvasir we met in the world of the past said that she "will complete her mission" and become Gullveig...but what does that mean?! | ||
|
And speaking of mysterious, even her appearance is strange! She wears garments made from materials I've never even heard of, much less seen before. They must be from the future world—fabrics that we in the present have yet to even imagine! | ||
|
What's the real connection between Kvasir and Gullveig? Are they enemies or allies? I hope we find out soon! | ||

Happy New Year! Here's Kvasir, who's come to join us for the New Year all dressed up in a spectacular kimono! | ||
|
Kimono outfits are the most popular way to dress for the New Year celebrations here, and Kvasir is doing it in style. That purple color is so her! | ||
|
Normally, Kvasir tends to hide herself under a hood, but for this outing, she's embracing the atmosphere of the celebration with a red floral circlet instead! | ||
|
You know, it looks like this is the first time Kvasir has ever celebrated the New Year. I can't wait to see what the coming year in Askr has in store for her! | ||

Etymology
Kvasir was the god of wisdom born from the saliva of the Æsir and the Vanir known for their wisdom, which they taught as they travelled across the land. He was later killed by the dwarves Fjalar and Gjalar where his blood was used to make Kvasir's Mead which makes the drinker artistically poetic for a little while.
Trivia
- Kvasir shares her voice actor, Valeria Rodriguez, and Japanese voice actor, Hina Yōmiya, with Seiðr.
- Kvasir's challenge to Kiran, asking them to pick the real Breidablik between the two she offers, references an old Greek tale, spread across and adapted by other cultures over time, of The Honest Woodcutter. In the story, a woodcutter accidentally drops his axe, the means of his livelihood, in a river. The god Hermes then appears and offers him a golden axe, which the woodcutter refuses as it's not his. Hermes then offers a silver axe which is also refused, and finally the woodcutter's real axe. When the woodcutter reclaims his axe, Hermes also gifts him the gold and silver axes as a reward for his honesty.
