Kriemhild is best known as Siegfried's wife in the Nibelungenlied—and as the vengeful force that tears the entire legend apart after his murder. She's one of those characters who haunts you: beautiful and noble on the surface, but absolutely relentless once she decides someone needs to pay. After Siegfried is assassinated, she doesn't just grieve. She schemes, she waits, and she uses everything she has—her status, her charm, her sheer will—to orchestrate revenge on a scale that destroys everyone around her. Fans often describe her as both pitiable and terrifying, a woman transformed by rage into something almost inhuman. There's a coldness to her brutality that makes her more than just a grieving widow; she becomes a force of destruction in her own right. Her story is less about justice and more about what happens when power, grief, and vengeance collide in one person.
