A celestial being which resembles an angel, though with swan-like wings attached to their hips. It is believed that they have a specialised sacrum much like that of a Seraphim or Cherubim allowing for their unusual positioning. Valkyriar are beings who are particularly proud of their heritage and as such refuse to allow themselves to be mistakenly refered to as "Valkyries" in plural form. In fact, they will go to great lengths to correct a person who is in error regarding the correct name.

In ages past, Valkyriar were otherwise known as "Corpse Goddesses (though they never truly were goddesses per se)" who went about both battlefields and the world during the great battle against Nephyrias and chose those who had died through honourable battle and rewarded them by ascending them to Sessrumnir, a grand hall in Heaven ruled over by the warrior goddess Freyja. Those who had been selected to enter Sessrumnir would then "live" a Heavenly life where they would prepare for future battles as part of the "Soul Corps" a regiment of Heaven's forces. However, they began to develop a taste for the military lifestyle they often witnessed and were thus granted a new title; that of Valkyrie.

Modern Valkyriar start off their rookie careers in the ranks as cup bearers for those training in Sessrumnir. They attire themselves in diaphanous robes of white, much like their future Norn woven skirts once they become actual battlemaidens, and as cup bearers provide mead to those warriors who require it. While performing this important duty they acquire a measure of patience as well as an ability to calculate necessary for the battlefield. Apart from their duties in Sessrumnir, they also begin their military training at about this time which will last them until they acquire their circlet, armour and spear. After acquiring these much sought after treasures, Valkyriar begin their work in the mortal world, though oft return to visit their families in Heaven whenever they are able.

Valkyriar often spend their time near battlefields both engaging with enemies and searching for a potential partner amongst the combatants. Before continuing we must note that unlike the Corpse Goddesses of yore, Valkyriar do not consider actual armed conflict as the only battlefield available. Those who refuse to give in to the whims of the elements and protect their crops, competition between businesses and even those who simply refuse to give in to their hardships and struggle to survive may notice a breathtaking maiden shadowing their steps, oft just on the periphary of one's eyesight.

While one might find this behaviour strange for a battlemaiden who is both smart and calculating in battle, a major weakness shared by all Valkyriar would be that they are quite clumsy in matters of the heart. One could consider a Valkyrie dealing with romance in much the way a mosquito circles a target before biting and drawing some blood. While she will actively drive off females, human and mamono alike who she has found to desire a partnership with the individual she has chosen, she will be unsure about how exactly to approach the issue of confessing her own desire and will take to watching him from afar. As such a human may just wonder why his love life seems so unlucky after noticing the presence of a woman oft lurking in the background. It is when a persistant female does not heed her warnings that a Valkyrie will finally draw up the courage to confess her feelings.

A Valkyrie who has acquired a partner will become in a way cutely possessive of her partner, while having no issues with his friends or family, she will keep an active lookout for any "threats" to her relationship, treating them to possessive glares which carry the message that they would be wise to keep their distance.

As partners, Valkyriar will pledge themselves to their chosen one, actively aiding them in their battles, be they business or on the field. As lovers they are particularly fierce and one may begin to suspect this may in fact be due to their life of battle prior to their fated meeting. Turning the tables on a Valkyrie during said activities will earn cute, girlish behaviour completely unexpected from these battle hardened maidens. It is worth noting that all Valkyriar while donning armour and plunging themselves into the heat of battle, all love the feel of silk undergarments beneath their armour, this may in fact corrolate with their aforementioned switch in behaviour during consummations of their love. Humans who have an active relationship with a Valkyrie, as with Angels, will find their Spiritus becoming increasing pure and potent, as a result Valkyriar often have to fend off hopeful mamono, in fact, those who are courted by a Valkyrie oft become heroes which explains the rise of heroes within the Lands of the Gentle Flame where Valkyriar are quite prevalent.

Finally we would like to draw attention to the fact that Valkyriar have a competitive rivalry between themselves and Banshees, an undead mamono who as with Valkyriar float above battlefields in search of a partner or in their case mate. There have been many recorded battles between these two groups over a particular "mate of fate" or "fated partner" who has caught the eye of a Banshee and Valkyrie.
