Dagr, known to most as the Norse god of day, is basically the overenthusiastic morning person we all know and roll our eyes at. Son of Delling, the original early riser, and Nótt, the personification of night, Dagr got the sunnier side of the family genes.

Riding his horse Skinfaxi, whose mane literally lights up the world, Dagr ensures that every corner of the Earth is blasted with his cheerful, blinding luminescence. And you can almost hear him gleefully shouting, "Good morning, Midgard!" as creatures below groan, squint, and reach for their sunglasses.

Dagr's not just bringing the day; he's that insistent alarm clock with no snooze button, reminding the cosmos that, ready or not, morning's here. Again.
