Maybe it's just me, but given Gullveig's story seems to be heavy metaphor around the abuse of young women and themes of women's agency, I think the fact that Gullveig is heavily sexualized is kinda part of the point? She's the version of Seidr who's been fully molded by Njordr, with her only REAL act of agency being his death.

I never imagined such a future where I could relax alongside the children of Midgard…
Pixel art bust (heh) of Summer Gullveig from Fire Emblem Heroes. Made as a June Subscriber Suggestion.

Ok since yesterday there was a wild discourse on whether or not Gullveig's design is misogynestic which as someone who never liked her design and found it to be unappealing I didn't care and it started getting on my nerves so I ended up making this redesign and fixed her broken hand.
I am not claiming it's better then the OG because it's not supposed to be a fix up, it's just a redesign and I don't want to hear anything anymore about Yoshiku. I wasn't there when they had to design her so I have no idea why they made X or Y choices, for all I know they could have just obeyed the IS art direction or did it because they genuinely liked it without thinking too hard about it. I personally think her design doesn't make sense but this apply to Book 7 as a whole.
Also, I had to look up OG Gullveig (the Mythology one) to make this one and ... let's say that when I looked at the reference, her current design made suddenly much more sense.

i wish gullveig was either drawn by an artist who is better at drawing women or that she was wearing something different.
current book snake lady was drawn by kozaki and is wearing less but feels less sexualised somehow.
