Character from Red Rising by Pierce Brown
Ragnar's daughter — an Obsidian giant with a gentle soul trapped in a world that demands violence from her blood. She wants peace and keeps finding war.
Volga Fjorgan inherited Ragnar's size and none of his certainty. Where her father found purpose in the Rising and died a warrior's death, Volga wants nothing to do with war, violence, or the legacy of Obsidian warrior culture. She is gentle, thoughtful, and profoundly uncomfortable with the expectations placed on her by everyone — the Obsidians want her to be Ragnar's heir, the Republic wants her to be a symbol, and the world keeps shoving weapons into her hands. Her bond with Ephraim is the most unexpected and touching relationship in the later books — a broken Gray thief and a lost Obsidian girl becoming family through shared damage and stubborn kindness. Volga's struggle is the struggle of anyone born into a legacy they didn't choose, asked to be a hero when they just want to be left alone. But the universe has plans for Ragnar's daughter, and gentleness in the Red Rising world is not weakness — it is the rarest form of strength.
Enormous like her father — towering over most humans with an Obsidian's ice-pale skin and powerful build. But where Ragnar was all warrior menace, Volga's face is open and uncertain, her size at odds with her gentle demeanor. Blue eyes wide with a kindness that the world keeps trying to beat out of her. Moves carefully, conscious of her own strength, as if afraid of breaking things.
