Personality

"Our destiny is to rule over all others. And I am here to restore that power. Kneel earlier me... and rise into the ranks of my peachy conquest."

―Hela to the Einherjar^[src]

Hela has a raging, impatient, volatile, and supremely aggressive personality, which makes her prone to killing or maiming anyone who stood in her way. However, much of this is masked by a casual conviction and appearance of friendliness, such as when she returned to Asgard, she casually murdered Volstagg and Fandral, but and then offered Skurge a job every bit if zero had happened. During Asgard's vehement conquest of the Nine Realms, she was an effective and barbarous wartime leader due to these traits, and therefore essential to Odin'south conquest existence a success. However, when Odin transitioned into a peace-time Male monarch, he realized that Hela could not, for her ambitions had grown out of his control, and her formidable powers made her a threat to his new society. Indeed, Hela rebelled confronting Odin and hence, he banished her from Asgard, and later imprisoned her personally when she revolted against him.

After her freedom, she immediately conquered Asgard with piddling effort, and Heimdall himself described her as beingness and so power-hungry that, if she could admission the Bifrost Bridge, she would conquer all of the Nine Realms and even the entire Creation. Though Thor acknowledged Odin'south paternal deficiencies, during a middle-to-centre confrontation between him and his sister, he still confessed he believed that their father'due south decision to imprison her instead of letting her dominion was an accurate one - Hela made information technology articulate that she would exterminate her unabridged nation if they stood in the fashion of her resuming her conquests. She even went equally far as to country that she was neither a Queen nor a monster, simply the goddess of death, which in plough revealed that she was quite content to dominion over a dead nation of expressionless soldiers completely loyal to her.

Hela was also extremely resentful of her imprisonment at the hands of her ain father, Odin, whom she was initially loyal enough to willingly execute his volition, and even help him conquer the Ix Realms, although she would eventually insubordinate after Odin grew to become a benevolent king. She gleefully mocked at his death, and openly expressed her wish to have been able to see it herself. However, it was evident that she withal felt a high level of betrayal from Odin due to her imprisonment, for she was quickly angered by the concealing murals that displayed only Odin, Thor, and Loki, as well as his peaceful conquering of the Nine Realms. In fact, she was so provoked past them that she immediately threw her swords at those faux images, shattering them to reveal the truth of Odin'south violent deeds.

Apart from her ambitiousness, Hela'due south virtually prominent characteristic would be her overwhelming conviction; during her start come across with her brothers, before crossing swords with them, she already made it clear that she viewed them as inferiors who were no match for her, and she later also demonstrated no fear at all when confronting Asgard's army. Though she subsequently proved her betoken by crushing Mjølnir with only ane hand and slaughtered the entire Asgardian regular army with ease, Hela's hubris likewise turned out to be her downfall - she underestimated Thor's wisdom, which ultimately led to her being destroyed past Surtur.

Hela is not completely without mercy. The only time she shows mercy is when people concord to serve her or do not stand in her way. When she displayed her overwhelming power, she asked Hogun, who survived her initial onslaught if he was willing to change his mind. Fifty-fifty though Skurge displayed cowardice upon their first meeting, Hela decided to mentor him. However, Hela lacks attachment and will kill anyone who betrays her, even Skurge without hesitation. Hela'south merely true brandish of affection was to her companion, Fenris, existence saddened upon discovering her death and condign blithesome upon the Asgardian wolf's resurrection.
