History
Origins
Tova is the daughter of Thor Odinson and Jane Foster and is currently their only known child thus far. Though her father became the ruler of Asgard sometime before her birth, Tova was conceived and born on Midgard since her mother initially wanted to stay in her realm rather than Asgard. But feeling it was only fair that Tova should be able to be around her father, Jane agreed to move to Asgard under the condition she remain mortal despite Thor being able to grant her otherwise. Nevertheless, a compromise was reached and the family settled into the Asgardian palace that Tova would come to know as home.
By the time Tova reached the age of five, Thor deemed it time that she began learning more of the combat side of Asgardian culture, having thus far only been learning the basics for all Asgardians and by extension human subjects as well through her mother. Due to her half breed heritage however, it seemed a tedious task to find someone willing to train Tova as several that came to mind proved to be unsatisfactory for the new King of Asgard. Eventually, Thor settled on his long time friend and former lover Sif to serve as her instructor despite some lingering animosity Sif held towards Jane who won over the man she loved. Deciding that Tova was of no blame for what had happened in the past, Sif gladly took the girl under her wing, seeing some potential in the girl Thor held when they were young. Thus, for the majority of her life Sif privately tutored the young demi-goddess in the ways of combat, in particular swordsmanship and most other weapons.
By the time Tova reached her pre-teen years, she befriended Randulfr, the son of Hiemdall and Amora the Enchantress, and Valrulfur, a second offspring of Hrimhari and Rahne Sinclair. The trio were practically inseparable as playmates and later fellow warriors-in-arms, with many joking they would replace the Warriors Three someday. Of course none of the three would admit such a thing could happen and spent many of their days getting into mischief, going on their own adventures, and proving their worth to their fellow young and old Asgardians. Eventually though, the three would prove their might in a seemingly random attack by the Undead Army of Hela's, helping to keep the front lines until Thor could find their source and close the portal in which they came through.
The source of the incident was never discovered but the three were rewarded for their valor with being given specialized weapons Thor had forged years before much like Odin had done with Thor's own hammer. From that day, Tova earned her spear she named Dvalinn and was dubbed the "Goddess of Wind", a role she would have when the time truly came she proved her worth. Nevertheless, she bore the title and weapon proudly in the smaller exploits she would commit during her remaining time on Asgard.
Trip to Midgard
Sometime following her fifteenth birthday, Tova began to express a growing interest in her mother's home of Midgard, especially with the stories she heard from her parents and how fondly Thor spoke of it. After much thought Tova approached her parents of making a trip to the realm herself. Thor decided to consider the request and left Tova to await a few days while he spoke with Jane about it first. It was also at this time that Randulfr approached her with news he couldn't contain to himself any longer and told her excitedly of their betrothal that was made shortly after their helping with the Undead Army incident a few years before.
The news took Tova by surprise, secretly annoyed her father had made such arrangements, but outwardly feigned excitement for the news. A day later though, Tova was granted permission to travel to Midgard for a little while much to her excitement and relief but Randulfr's anger, especially when he harbored a secret dislike of Midgardians. Bidding her friends farewell and those she had come to view as family, Tova made her way to Midgard using the Bifrost, just in time to make a grand entrance onto the Avengers Academy grounds where she has been welcomed to join the student body.
