It is revealed however that Faye was once an extraordinarily powerful warrior who possessed a terrifying inner rage, making her very similar to Kratos in a different way, though she had since moved past that by the time she met him. Ultimately subverted on intending to trigger The End of the World as We Know It, Faye simply wanted her husband and son to seek their own bright future, and trusted that they would be able to overcome themselves to do so.And then comes The Reveal that she possibly intends to trigger The End of the World as We Know It through her son, Loki/Atreus, and suddenly the similarities to Kratos are all too tragic. A shocking contrast to Kratos, surely, but then you find out that she hated divine beings as well, and suddenly it makes more sense that the two would be drawn together. Birds of a Feather: Faye is said to have been unfailingly kind, a powerful warrior, and a loving mother. And as the eyewitnesses to her battle with Thor can attest, was capable of flying into an Unstoppable Rage just as intense as those of her husband, if not more so. However, she was also a warrior skilled enough to stalemate Kratos when they first met. Beware the Nice Ones: Faye was so kind, patient and altruistic that almost everyone who encountered her, even Kratos, remembered her with nothing but affection, admiration and respect.Her battle with Thor was wild and uncontrolled, tearing an entire inhabited valley apart, and the restless spirits that were caught in the collateral damage remark upon how terrifying the rage between the two combatants was. The Berserker: It may be surprising to learn, given her being near universally regarded as an All-Loving Hero, but Faye once possessed an incredibly destructive hatred and fury.Ragnarök reveals she destroyed Loki's shrine so Atreus would be free to chose his own destiny, rather than following the giant's visions and plans for him. When Faye tells Kratos to chop down the protective trees, it allows the gods to find them, and it forces Kratos's hand in having them leave, regardless if he believes Atreus is ready or not. She also failed to tell Kratos that the Aesir Gods would be after Atreus. She was well aware that Kratos would never have Atreus go down his path, so she intentionally kept him in the dark. When Faye's people foretold that Loki will bring about Ragnarök, Faye asked Kratos and Atreus to scatter her ashes.An Ice Person: She was the original owner of the Leviathan Axe, a weapon that had cryokinetic properties.Subverted in the end, Faye ultimately just wanted both Kratos and Atreus to forge their own path, and had absolute faith that they would be able to rise above their failings to seek a brighter future.Sindri gives the idea that Faye was originally planning to avenge the Jötnar but after meeting Kratos, she had a change of plan and decided to follow the path of Bergelmir the Beloved. the question is whether the rest of the world deserves it too. Though to be fair, the "evil" part of the trope is very questionable considering the gods certainly have it coming. Ambiguously Evil: With The Reveal that Atreus' true name is "Loki," the ability of giants to foretell the future, Faye's own expressed disdain for the gods and her affinity towards such dangerous creatures as the World Serpent, it’s entirely possible that she gave birth to Atreus specifically to kickstart Ragnarök, and bring forth the end of the gods.Double-subverted in Ragnarök, where it's revealed that she decided against following through on the prophecy, destroying Loki's shrine so that her son would be free to choose his own destiny. In any case, who else would accept Kratos after everything he's done? Possibly subverted come the ending, which reveals that the name she chose for Atreus was Loki. Brok and Sindri also mention that she helped the weak, whoever they were, and that is why they made the Leviathan Axe for her free of charge.
