Well she will have her opinions about Harry’s new wife of course and that is exactly why that rule exists.
Will she? What will be your reaction if Murphy has no opinion, or just doesn't care? As a fan, what reaction would you want to see from her?Knowing Murphy she would be understanding and supportive. She understands politics. She would have an opinion and she would care but she would not try to dictate Harry.
IMO, the best way for her to come back would be a Valkyrie or as some agent of the White God, maybe two-three books from now.
Will it? She is too independent a thinker to be either.She was chosen because of who she was. It will work out fine.

Will it? Her having a Holy Sword didn't because she thought she knew better than the Almighty.That is a misrepresentation of what happened. She was under duress and loads of people would have made similar mistakes under the circumstances. And besides she handled exactly in a way Vadderung would appreciate so.
That is part of her charm, but if she is working directly for the All Father it might not work out so well.. Or she would have changed, then she is no longer the Murphy we all know and love.Or you do not know her that well. Murphy can be loyal to a purpose she understands and agrees with.

No, it isn't, Nic had surrendered, even if it was a bluff, she didn't call it and he knew she wouldn't. She made no bones before in her conversation with Harry that she felt that Nic deserved death. So as judge and jury she condemned him with a "damn you" and tried to execute him. It isn't up to her to judge, that is up to the Almighty.. That is why it broke!Humans judge all the time, that does not mean they know better than the white god or whatever. Murphy lost it during the fight, she did not follow the specific demands of the sword and that was exactly why she did not want to be a knight in the first place. She just saw no other way.

She was chosen by the valkyries, by vadderung and most likely in agreement with Uriel and probably based on a choice just like Harry. That makes it highly likely that she is just in the right place.
I don't see why Odin would mind someone executing an enemy. Especially not Nic in that situation, which is why Nic would only try it with a KoTC.Exactly. That is why this is one of those pivotal points were she chose for Vadderung. These kind of choices decides what comes after.
Jack Murphy half-truthed Harry, which shows that he's still pretty much an independent thinker, while working for the White God / Uriel.As Uriel said: you are your soul, you have a body. Murphy would still be Murphy if she was stuck in a wooden skull.
Gard was pretty much acting independently in the Heorot.
I don't think they lose their capacity for independent thinking or even action.
As long as the soul is there, they're still themselves, with their good traits and bads. Look at Harry, he maybe changed in some measure since becoming the Winter Knight, and you can say it's a struggle for the soul, but he's still himself.
As Uriel said: you are your soul, you have a body. Murphy would still be Murphy if she was stuck in a wooden skull.
Would she? Really?Yes, she would react exactly as you would expect from Murphy in a wooden skull.
Yes, she would react exactly as you would expect from Murphy in a wooden skull.
What? Pissed because she is confined and forced to comply with the holder of the skull?Would you be pissed?
Would you be pissed?
Of course she is. And she still has free will to stay pissed. She is not like Bob.
Nope, not if she came back in the same form as Bob, he has no free will, it isn't clear yet that Bonea has free will.Bob has no free will because he has no soul. Murphy still has her soul. That is the meaning of walhalla, Hades or staying behind as a shade, with or without a wooden skull apartment.
So what a wonderful thing for Murphy.. Not a living being anymore, it is doubtful that she'd still have the free will.. Be careful what you wish for..That would not be Murphy. It is all about her soul. As long as she has her soul she has her free will just like Harry had or her father has.
We are talking about Murphy, not some ghost of Murphy otherwise she would not be back and the whole discussion would be about something totally different. She either comes back with her soul or she does not come back.
Gard was pretty much acting independently in the Heorot.
Does she? She isn't under Uriel's jurisdiction, she is under that of the All Father. Do the Einhejar still have souls?Sure. It is an afterlife after all. Just like Hades. Just like Deirdre went to Hades, that was Deirdre. Uriel does get most souls now but not all of them. There is even a woj about people ending up in Walhalla unexpected.
Odin has soulfire. He can make things real. Per WOJ, that's how he reunites body and soul to create Einherjar.
Jim has also said that Athena was a spirit of intellect that leapt out of Zeus' head, just like Bonea in Harry's head. Zeus made a body for her and fused her spirit with the body.
Odin could make a body, fuse Karin's spirit into it, and make a Valkyrie. Karin's Valkyrie would be a 'sister' to Sigrun and Freydis. And she might or might not look anything like Karin.
