When Kratos was temporarily knocked out of their fight, Mist held the helpless Atreus in place as her sister pummeled and slapped him non-lethally, demonstrating that the two were more interested in causing pain than killing one of their opponents, implying sadism. She was rather agressive and cruel, as she and Hrist took their training methods too far, leading them to be scolded by Odin, even though he is a prominent sadist in torture. Her devotion to the All-Father is such that despite Freya being revered by the rest of the valkyries, she continues to follow Odin and the new queen, Gná. Mist is totally obedient towards Odin, to the point of being only one of three valkyries that continue to serve him after the liberation of the Valkyrie Council. Even though Mist has never been cursed by the All-Father like most of her sisters, such skin colour is possibly due to the fact that she has maintained a corporeal form for a very long time, thus affecting her body as much as her sanity. While her face cannot be seen, her rather light outfit reveals a strange skin tone reminiscent of the corrupt Valkyries. While it is true that all Valkyries wear a unique and intimidating helmet, Mist’s particularly demonic mask is likely a testament to the darkness and evil that the Valkyries have succumbed to after serving the All-Father for centuries. Her face remains hidden and protected behind a masked helmet with downward-curving horns, likely designed with one purpose: to personify death. While the primary goal of such attributes is indeed to allow Mist to fly as fast as possible, she does not hesitate to use them as weapons if necessary. These wings are as sharp as razors and as sturdy as steel. Like all the other Valkyries, Mist is a very tall and slim woman whose most obvious characteristic remains her majestic Valkyrie wings, fashioned of a green metal. Kratos then pummeled Mist into submission, tore her right wing off, and snapped her neck, killing her. The Spartan and his son proceeded to give into their rage, allowing them to break free. Eventually, Mist and her sister managed to subdue Kratos, but Atreus leapt atop Mist's back, rendering her unable to aid her sister. The two valkyrie sisters ambushed the duo and proceeded to engage them in a ferocious battle. She and Hrist were later sent by Odin to the Spark of the World to kill Kratos, possibly capture Atreus, and retrieve the mask as the two waited for Surtr to become Ragnarök. However, Mist and her sister were taken aside by Odin for a talk and were thus unable to assist Thor in preventing Atreus' escape with Odin's mask. Hrist and Mist later accompanied Sif to Niflheim with the goal of arresting Atreus after it was discovered that his father Kratos had killed Heimdall in Vanaheim. She and Hrist were later seen instructing and training some of the Einherjar, and were reprimanded by Odin, who thought their training methods were too lethal. Mist, alongside her sisters Hrist and Gná, were first seen flying down to Asgard as Heimdall and Atreus descended to Glaðsheim via an air lift. In the God of War Series God of War: Ragnarök Nothing is known about Mist but according to Austrian Philologist Rudolf Simek, her name is most likely based on the Old Norse term mistr and that it reminds people of the way the Valkyries can ride through air or water. Mist (Old Norse: "Cloud" or "Mist") is a valkyrie that appears in the Poetic Edda poem Griminismál and both of the valkyrie lists in the Nafnaþulur section. Their deaths deprived Asgard of some of its last valuable assets before Ragnarök. Even though the Valkyries proved themselves to be formidable opponents and nearly succeeded in killing the two, they were ultimately overwhelmed and killed. Mist and Hrist are fought in tandem at the Spark of the World, ambushing the Ghost of Sparta and his son on Odin's orders. Ruthlessly carrying forth the All-Father's will and vowing to fight for Asgard, she and her sister Hrist serve as minor antagonists and enforcers of Odin. She is one of the last Valkyries who remained loyal to Odin, despite the defection of many of her sisters who were freed because of Kratos and Atreus. Mist is a Valkyrie introduced in God of War: Ragnarök. I hope news of their demise travels swiftly to Asgard. Their aim was to take the mask back to Odin and perhaps Atreus with it. I would always prefer a Valkyrie fight on my side. It is a pity their fealty to Odin is by choice, and not a corruption abated by their death. Their coordination in battle was unmatched. To fight two Valkyries in tandem is to face both the sea and the sky as they crash down as one.
