* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: Loki. When Tjalvi tells Röskva that Odin doesn't do any work because he's a king, Röskva asks if Loki's a king, too.
* [[Canon Foreigner]]: Quark, the ill-tempered Jotunn kid, does not appear in any of the original myths but was invented for the series. He appears in [[The Movie]] and the two albums based on it, as well as some background appearances in other albums. For a while was considered the [[Breakout Character]], starring his own animated TV series and newspaper comic, but he avoids becoming [[The Scrappy]] largely because his actual appearances in ''Valhalla'' are so sparse.
** A somewhat amusing development. In the second album the author plays around with Jotunn names along the lines of "H[insert dairy product]". The reason for this is the existence in the myths of the jotunn "Hymir", in modern danish "Hymer". [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ymer_<!-- 28dairy_product29%28dairy_product%29 Ymer]] is a dairy product ... alright stay with me fellows ... so Madsen inserts a series of names based on soured milk and the like. These include a single background gag involving a misbehaved jotunn brat someone calles [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quark_%28cheese%29 Hquark]] ... Dang, a joke just isn't much fun when you explain it is it? ... Anyway this kid seems to have lodged himself in Madsen's brain, springing to life in the aforementioned albums etc. -->
* [[Character Development]]: Heimdall undergoes this in Freya's Necklace. Previous volumes cast him as a pompous, cowardly fool, but Freya's charms cause a more sensitive, chivalric, and even thoughtful side of his character to come to the surface. Not to mention the fact that when he realizes the extent of Loki's mischief he goes on a rampage, finally proving that the titles he keeps harping on about(The All-Seeing Aesir, The All-Hearing Aesir) aren't just for show.
** Tjalfe and Roskva also go through noticable [[Character Development]] over the course of the series; Tjalfe gradually becomes less foolish and insensitive, and more inclined to think before he acts, while Roskva goes from a naive little child to a far more insightful and intelligent young lady.
