Trivia

• In the Japanese version of Megami Ibunroku Persona, the Totems needed to fuse the three Norn sisters are called Passé (バッセ, Passe)^?, Présent (プレザン, Prezan)^?, and Avenir (アヴニール, Avuniiru)^?, which mean past, present and future in French. Urd represents the past but is summoned using the Présent (Present), while Verdandi represents the present but is summoned using the Passé (Pasque Flower). Skuld is the only one of the trio whose Totem corresponds to the correct time period.
