I Raf You Big Sister Is A Witch: How Raf Fell in Love with a Magical Girl



Freya (Old Norse: Freyja, Nordic: ᚠᚱᛅᚢᛁᛅ), also known as Frigg (Old Norse: Frigga, Nordic: ᚠᚱᛁᚴ) and Nað, is the Vanir Goddess of Love, Beauty, War, Death, Magic, Childhood and Fertility. She is the daughter of Njörd and Nerthus, the sister of Freyr, the adoptive sister of Hildísvíni, and the ex-wife of Odin with whom she procreated Baldur, making her the grandmother of Forseti as well. She was also the former leader of the Vanir during the Aesir-Vanir War and Queen of the Valkyries before the fallout of her marriage with the All-Father.


Little is known about her childhood, aside from being the daughter of Njörd, as well as the sister of Freyr. Freya had been a leader of the Vanir gods during the Aesir-Vanir War and eventually agreed to marry Odin in order to bring peace between the two sides. Freya clearly did not enjoy this, due to her own distaste for the Aesir, especially after they unjustly imprisoned, tortured and nearly killed her brother Freyr. During that time, she became the Queen of the Valkyries. Also some time during her marriage to Odin, Odin began to learn the ways of Freya's magic and began using it for unjust purposes. When Hrimthur offered Odin to build Asgard new walls to replace the old ones, he requested to receive only a private audience with Freya should he complete the project within two years in return. When he won the wager, Hrimthur whispered something to her with Mimir suspecting that he had embedded some weakness into the walls and passed this knowledge onto Freya, before being betrayed and killed by Thor. While she and Odin were acknowledged by Mimir to be genuinely in love, Freya eventually chose to leave Odin due to his unjust ways.

Freya is once again encountered when Kratos brings her Mimir's severed head to resurrect, much to her shock. Before she resurrects Mimir, she notices that Atreus is equipped with mistletoe arrows. Knowing that mistletoe is the only thing that can break the invincibility spell placed on her son, she quickly replaces Atreus's arrows with her own and destroys the mistletoe ones in her fireplace. Upon Mimir's revival, it immediately becomes apparent to Kratos that Freya greatly dislikes Mimir, and Mimir accidentally reveals Freya's identity to Kratos and Atreus while apologizing, as he would not have asked to be brought to her had he known she was 'the witch'. This deepens Kratos' distrust of Freya. When Kratos asks why she didn't inform him of her godhood, she quietly points out his hypocrisy. Kratos leaves in anger with Atreus in tow.


Freya agreed to marry Odin, her most hated enemy, in order to protect her people and end the war. However, the eventual pains that she would later face would yield negative results on her mentality. After the deaths of her many of her people, the disappearance of her brother, the loss of her Valkyries, and the resentment she received from her own people. As well as losing her combative powers and being banished to Midgard for the rest of her life, Freya did whatever she could to protect the only person she had left in her life, her son Baldur. Due to the trauma of her previous losses, Freya became extremely paranoid and overprotective of him. Prophecies foretelling her son's demise drove her to cast a spell on Baldur, rendering him invulnerable to everything except mistletoe (which breaks the spell), but also meant he could never physically feel anything for as long as the spell lasted. For this reason, Freya panicked when she saw Atreus carrying mistletoe arrows, immediately destroying them and angrily telling Atreus to never go near them again. Freya also secretly bewitched Mimir, who had previously discovered Baldur's weakness, from speaking of it and her connection to Baldur to Kratos and Atreus.


Lynette Bishop (リネットビショップ, Rinetto Bishoppu), nicknamed Lynne (リーネ, Rīne), is a witch of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, whose role within the unit is a sniper, originating from Britannia and attached to the Britannia Air Force. She is the younger sister of Wilma Bishop, and the daughter of First Neuroi War veteran, Minnie Bishop.


Her father went to college together with Flying Officer Schade's father, and they competed with each other in sports as well as academics. Patricia's family was friendly with the Bishops during her early years, though Lynette doesn't seem to remember this. Patricia's father sometimes tries to stir up a feeling of rivalry between the two families, but Patricia herself doesn't really seem to care. Her elder sister Wilma has been assigned to Britannia air defense as a witch, and Lynette is seen as having more potential than her sister and is looking forward to the future.


When she joined up, after receiving basic training, Lynette was dispatched directly to the 501st JFW despite being a rookie. Some political speculations indicates that this affair involves the Britannian leaders not wanting to dedicate their home country veteran witch to the Joint Fighter Wing.


At the end of the Britannian campaign, she worked to rebuild the ruined country of Gallia alongside Perrine. She later returned to battle alongside the rest of the 501st in Romagna. Shortly thereafter, Major Sakamoto sends her, Yoshika, and Perrine to a remote island on the Adriatic Coast for some intensive training with Anna Ferrara, a retired Venezian Witch who makes a living training younger witches (as the three had been out of combat for six months). She teaches Lynette and the other Witches how to fly with brooms to allow them to better control their magic.


Her dream is to become a good wife. After she meets Sergeant Miyafuji, the two eventually become best friends. Lynnette have a strong relationship with her. When the 501st received a visit from Adolfine Galland while still assigned to the Britannian base, the witch General approached her and asked if she would be interested in joining her unit, explaining the reason for doing so being a result of "love at first sight". Lynette however declined the offer meekly, saying that she "have Yoshika", but stopped herself before completing her sentence and correcting herself saying that she wanted to do her best in the 501st. During the Gallia reconstruction, Lynette also becomes close friends with Flying Officer Clostermann.


Dahl's sister Astri died from appendicitis at age seven in 1920 when Dahl was three years old, and his father died of pneumonia at age 57 several weeks later.[19] Later that year, his youngest sister, Asta, was born.[15] Upon his death, Harald Dahl left a fortune assessed for probate of 158,917 10s. 0d. (equivalent to 6,791,035 in 2021).[20][21][22] Dahl's mother decided to remain in Wales instead of returning to Norway to live with relatives, as her husband had wanted their children to be educated in English schools, which he considered the world's best.[23] When he was six years old, Dahl met his idol Beatrix Potter, author of The Tale of Peter Rabbit featuring the mischievous Peter Rabbit, the first licensed fictional character.[24][25] In 2020 their meeting would be dramatised in the television drama film, Roald & Beatrix: The Tail of the Curious Mouse.[26][27]


Throughout his childhood and adolescent years, Dahl spent the majority of his summer holidays with his mother's family in Norway. He wrote about many happy memories from those visits in Boy: Tales of Childhood, such as when he replaced the tobacco in his half-sister's fiancé's pipe with goat droppings.[45] He noted only one unhappy memory of his holidays in Norway: at around the age of eight, he had to have his adenoids removed by a doctor.[46] His childhood and first job selling kerosene in Midsomer Norton and surrounding villages in Somerset are subjects in Boy: Tales of Childhood.[47]


Dahl also features characters who are very fat, usually children. Augustus Gloop, Bruce Bogtrotter and Bruno Jenkins are a few of these characters, although an enormous woman named Aunt Sponge features in James and the Giant Peach and the nasty farmer Boggis in Fantastic Mr Fox is an enormously fat character. All of these characters (with the possible exception of Bruce Bogtrotter) are either villains or simply unpleasant gluttons. They are usually punished for this: Augustus Gloop drinks from Willy Wonka's chocolate river, disregarding the adults who tell him not to, and falls in, getting sucked up a pipe and nearly being turned into fudge. In Matilda, Bruce Bogtrotter steals cake from the evil headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, and is forced to eat a gigantic chocolate cake in front of the school; when he unexpectedly succeeds at this, Trunchbull smashes the empty plate over his head. In The Witches, Bruno Jenkins is lured by the witches (whose leader is the Grand High Witch) into their convention with the promise of chocolate, before they turn him into a mouse.[120] Aunt Sponge is flattened by a giant peach. When Dahl was a boy his mother used to tell him and his sisters tales about trolls and other mythical Norwegian creatures, and some of his children's books contain references or elements inspired by these stories, such as the giants in The BFG, the fox family in Fantastic Mr Fox and the trolls in The Minpins.[121]


Dahl liked ghost stories, and claimed that Trolls by Jonas Lie was one of the finest ghost stories ever written. While he was still a youngster, his mother, Sofie Dahl, related traditional Norwegian myths and legends from her native homeland to Dahl and his sisters. Dahl always maintained that his mother and her stories had a strong influence on his writing. In one interview, he mentioned: "She was a great teller of tales. Her memory was prodigious and nothing that ever happened to her in her life was forgotten."[133] When Dahl started writing and publishing his famous books for children, he included a grandmother character in The Witches, and later said that she was based directly on his own mother as a tribute.[134][135] 2ff7e9595c
