Idunn is a goddess associated with youth and fertility. She is the guardian of a box filled with apples that keep the gods in Asgard forever young. Once, Idunn and her box got kidnapped by a giant in eagle shape. Without their apples, the gods started growing old, and as they usually did when something went wrong, they rounded up their usual suspect, trickster god Loki, and threatened him with violence until he confessed (he always had done what he was accused of) and promised to fix whatever mess he had created this time. To set things right, Loki borrowed a falcon shape from the goddess Freya and kidnapped Idunn back.
This colourway is a beautiful blushing peach blending hues of pink and gold. The Norwegian word for peach comes from a Latin word meaning Persian apple.
