Should I go as a Viking shield maiden or Celtic shield maiden for the Renaissance Fair?

I have the materials for both. I just have to finish my corset.
This is a Viking shield maiden. More specifically, Lagertha. Outfit will be complete with her trademark eyeliner, braids, and the blood of her enemies.

And Celtic shield maiden. I even have my own authentically Scottish kilt to go with it. I'm going to add makeup to make my face bloodier.

Which personality mirrors your own better? Take that one. If you're just asking which I found the better looking.. that's a tough choice, because I like both celtic and norse lore/mythos.. If you go for the viking shield maiden, can you promise me that you'll bang on your shield, while yelling out "For valhalla!"? :3

[1truekhaleesi]

Yes, I can promise that!

Personally I like the viking better however the celtic is a little more inspirational with some alterations/modifications it could make for an epic rogue outfit.
The viking has a brutal look which suggests that shield could become a weapon at any moment.

celtic is definitely more renaissance-esque but both would be fun!!

[smahala1991]

I like both but really dig the Celtic one the best

[Dewey99]

Damn thats honestly a tough choice. Are you planning on coloring your hair as well?

[1truekhaleesi]

No I like my hair the way it is. I'm planning on getting a wig and gets tip from fellow cosplay geeks so the wig can look real.

[Dewey99]

ok cool! Even though the viking one looks bad ass personally im of scottish descent so im all for the scottish shield maiden :)

[1truekhaleesi]

Okay thanks!

[Dewey99]

Ya no problem!

Celtic, the celts had cooler mythology than the norse by far and were even more badass

[ToxicJellyfish]

The Viking age was the 7th-11th centuries. While the Renaissance era was the 14th-17th centuries. Times don't add up for Viking.

[1truekhaleesi]

To be fair, I never matched the theme of any event I went to.

[ToxicJellyfish]

Well then Viking, because Vikings are badass.

[LovelyColleen]

Go with the Viking costume.

[jakeofalltrades]
