Arnheid (アルネイズ Aruneizu?) was Ketil's slave, along with Thorfinn and Einar. She was Ketil's personal maid and concubine, and a caretaker of Sverkel.

Appearance[]

Arnheid was a beautiful, slender woman with long wavy, golden blonde hair usually seen in the style of a halo braid. She had bright pale blue eyes accompanied by thick, long eyelashes and thin light brown eyebrows.

Personality[]

Kind, hard-working, determined and honest. She tried her best just to get through her slave life without trouble.

History[]

Arnheid was captured and sold off as a slave whilst her husband Gardar and all the other men in her village were away fighting with a neighbouring village. Her son was murdered because female slaves without children fetched a higher price.

Gardar wound up as a slave as well. He eventually killed his master, escaped and came upon Arnheid as he was riding through Ketil's land, looking for her. However, Snake captured him. Arnheid freed him, but he was injured during the escape. She hid him in Sverkel's home, under the bed. Thorfinn and Einar tried to help her escape with Gardar, but Gardar died from his wounds shortly after they had set off.

Arnheid was recaptured and beaten by Ketil. The thrashing was so severe that she lost the baby she was carrying and eventually died from the injuries herself.
