'''Steela Oresdotter''', sometimes spelled '''Steela Oresdottir''', was the captain of the [[Mighty Helm]] during the [[Age of Heroes]]. She lived in a [[Rockhoof's village|village]] in [[High Desert]], [[Northern Equestria]] next to a [[High Desert volcano]]. A rough, strict and somewhat unpleasant mare, Steela is highly respected by just about all who know her. Although a leader and not technically a soldier, Steela has been shown to be more than willing to fight on the frontlines in order to protect her village and people. At heart, Steela is a brave, courageous and kind soul but she runs a tight ship and will even manipulate her soldiers in order to make them work harder.
==History==
Line 141:
The following day when Steela was doing roll-call, she berated Rockhoof for being late.<ref name = LOM2/>
Days later, the [[High Desert volcano]] erupted endangering her village. [[The Baron]] requested Steela to get Rockhoof to deal with it but by this point, Rockhoof was far
===Days of Stygian's quest===
Line 147:
Life hasn't been good for Steela. The volcano was acting up once again and an pack of [[Lumber Bear]]s was making life difficult.<ref name = LOM7>{{C|LOM|7}}</ref><ref name = LOM8>{{C|LOM|8}}</ref> It was implied that Steela even lost some of her soldiers in an attempt to repeal such beast. Such events wore on Steela's spirit, making her appear downtrodden and sad in contrast to her typically hardy spirit.<ref name = LOM7/>

The plan was going well but a flaw quickly became apparent. The bears were early. Stygian ran to save Rockhoof, leaving Steela to battle against the Lumber Bears herself. Steela effortlessly defeated the bears by destroying them in a single punch and even when it appeared she would've been sneaked attack by them, she managed to buck them into destruction. Proud of Stygian and Rockhoof's abilities, she allowed Rockhoof to go on his quest.<ref name = LOM8/>

Line 161 ⟶ 162:
Tough as nails and as rough as they came, Steela was an unpleasant mare and somewhat overbearing leader. Although she was gruff to a fault, her strict leadership had an undeniable level of fairness to it. While she would scold her soldiers harshly for messing up, she would be just as willing to show them a warmer, gentler side if they impressed her. It's clear Steela cared for her soldiers, even if she showed it incredibly sparingly. She was also extremely brave, constantly throwing herself into harms way to protect her town and her soldiers if they couldn't protect themselves. Although she had a good heart, she was still a rude, condescending and hostile pony who lashed out at just about anypony unlucky enough to cross her. It's unknown how much of this was her actual personality and ho much of this was from stress however, as she mostly demonstrated such behavior on bad, stressful days.
On a good day, Steela demonstrated a much more jovial and fun personality. Make no mistake, even in these days of levity, she was a strict and commanding leader, but she would be more willing to crack a smile and play jokes on her friends. She was great at manipulating others, but

Her surname, 'Oresdotter' would imply she is the daughter of a stallion named '''Ore''', though this is unconfirmed.

==Behind the scenes==
Much like the rest of [[Northern Equestria]], Steela was based off of Celtic and Nordic cultures. Her Cutie Mark resembles that of Celtic imagery and her design appears to be reminiscent to modern depictions of Boudicca of the Iceni. Her surname copies the naming conventions common in Norway, Sweden and Denmark during the Viking Age.
