History Characters / MagnusChaseAndTheGodsOfAsgard

* DropTheHammer: Her primary weapon, to the point that she wears a BadassBandolier full of nothing but ball-pen hammers.

* DropTheHammer: His signature weapon is the hammer Mjölnir [[spoiler: which is missing for nearly two entire books]].

* WomenAreWiser: Thrynga is clearly the more cunning of the two, although she does have a few moments of stupidity (such as trying to use a sword that cannot be used in the presence of a woman).

%%* ActionGirl: With her badass credentials below.

** In the second book we get a little more information on her religion, and Heimdall actually mentions that he thinks she might be right.

* DiscountLesbians: GenderFlipped...[[ZigZaggingTrope sort of]], [[spoiler: he's getting the ShipTease treatment with the cisgender male Magnus. She's trans and genderfluid, most often a girl but sometimes a guy]].

* AnythingThatMoves: If it's a weapon, magical, and (apparently) female, chances are Jack will flirt with it.

* AScarToRemember: Though Hrungnir was likely attempting a TakingYouWithMe by prompting TJ to stab him in the heart (prompting it to explode), he does leave a piece of flint embedded just over TJ's eye. He proudly keeps it as a token of his victory afterwards.

* ShipTease: [[spoiler: With Alex]]

* GenderBender: Changes genders at the drop of a hat but can't do it at will, and can shapeshift to match how he feels. Though usually she is female, he has male days as well, and makes sure to notify his friends when a shift happens. One of the strongest signs of her connection to Magnus is his developed ability to tell her gender (''almost'' all of the time) without the official confirmation.

* {{Bishonen}}: His description ("fair skin, skinny, spiky white hair") is a very obvious indication of this trope, not to mention Magnus [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] this bit by mentioning that he looks like someone straight from an {{Anime}}, a media known for starting this trope in the first place.

* BladeOnAStick: Gungnir, his personal spear.

* SuperSpeed: [[spoiler: He moves so quickly that Magnus and his friends can barely react to his attacks, let alone keep up with him. It takes Samirah [[VoluntaryShapeshifting transforming into a mountain lion]] to even the field if only a little bit, and even then she's clearly no match for him. And he's doing all of this despite the fact that his back legs are still bound by the magical rope Gleipnir]].

* ImprobableWeaponUser: Vidar's weapon of choice is a single giant spiked boot that Heimdall describes as being made from every shoe that's ever been thrown away, which is a bit of FridgeBrilliance considering that Vidar is also the god of [[OddJobGods footwear]].

* KingOfTheGods: What he's known for.

* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Has this reaction when meeting Frigg, queen of the Aesir [[spoiler: And Mallory’s Mother.]]

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He's stated to bear a ''much'' stronger resemblance to the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse version of [[Film/{{Thor}} Thor]] than the ''real'' Thor does.

* [[spoiler: LukeIAmYourFather: Frigg turns out to be Mallory's mother.]]

* CoolPet: Tanngjostr and Tanngrisnir (who refer to themselves as Otis and Marvin respectively since their names are too annoying to pronounce) are talking goats who act as Thor's food source on long excursions. Otis is rather mellow and kind-hearted, albeit a bit timid (it took him a day to work up the nerve to provide CPR for the team) while Marvin is much more of a jerk who throws insults at everyone. They revive every morning as long as their bones aren't broken. In a twist, Thor doesn't think of them as cool pets at all. He picked them to pull his chariot specifically because they can revive after he eats them and bemoans the fact that he could have chosen more awesome animals to be his pets, like [[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragons]].

* AnAxeToGrind / DualWielding: Has two double-bladed axes.

* AnAxeToGrind: Her primary weapon.
