Gunhild is a fiery girl who's the only Jotun raised in a human orphanage. Living in a world of Norse mythology, Gunhild is used to humans who adore the gods from the land called Asgaard while fearing the Jotuns, who personify the mystical powers of nature. To earn respect and adoration from her peers, Gunhild decides to pursue godhood. She's only a twelve-year-old girl and has a tough time convincing anyone, let alone actual gods like Thor and Odin, that she's someone to be respected and looked up to, like a god.
