An Asgardian, she is both Queen of Asgard, and the Asgardian gods, the wife of Odin, the step-mother of Thor, the biological mother of Balder, and the adoptive mother of Loki.[2] She is also sometimes described to be a Vanir goddess, as opposed to her husband, who is of the Aesir tribe.[3] She is also the one responsible for casting the spells on Balder to protect him from mortal harm. When Surtur the fire demon threatens all the known realms, Frigga is assigned the guardianship of the children of Asgard. They retreat to a hostel deep in the wilderness of Asgard. Though Frigga does not know it, she is assisted in her guarding by Tiwaz, the great-grandfather of Thor.[4] After Odin and Surtur disappear, Frigga organizes an 'Althing', where all of Asgard will choose a new ruler.[5] The result is that Balder is chosen as the new ruler.[volume & issue needed]
In addition, Frigga had supervised the location and training of the apprentices to the Celestials, the Young Gods.[volume & issue needed] Because of the events of Ragnarok, Frigga is believed to have suffered the same fate as the rest of the Asgardians.[6][7]
Russo reprises her role in Thor: The Dark World (2013).[16] Following Loki's imprisonment, Frigga shows sympathy to him by attempting to make his incarceration more hospitable. During the Dark Elves' raid on Asgard, Frigga is killed by Algrim while protecting Jane Foster, and is later given a Viking funeral.
An alternate timeline variant of Frigga appears in Avengers: Endgame.[17] Thor tries to warn her about her impending death, but she refuses to hear it, saying that she accepts her future and he should focus on fixing his.[18]
